Once in a Christmas gift exchange I got a pasta pot with a lock-on strainer lid so you just grab it by the handles and dump. Also it's labeled as impact-bonded, which is the funniest way of saying "hammered together."

Sagebrush posted:The San Francisco BART trains have untapered cylindrical wheels because somebody in the 70s thought it would be cheaper to do it that way. I have to assume it was some young engineer in the classic San Francisco startup style who looked at the conical wheels on every train on the planet and said "well that's stupid! Straight wheels make much more sense!" BART is also broad gauge, which makes everything more expensive. They say it’s because of the high winds on the peninsula, but I have my doubts about the necessity.

Elviscat posted:Wear gloves when handling sharp things, and don't try to catch them if you drop them. I did a vaguely similar thing once. We were disposing of some porcelain items at the dump, including an old toilet. I missed the throw on the toilet into the dumpster and just cracked the base in half on the edge, at which point the journeyman at the wheel is yelling at me to get going. So I grab a hold of the base of the shattered porcelain toilet, don't feel anything sharp, so surely it's safe to lift it up, putting ~20 kilos of weight on there. Up to shoulder height, into the dumpster, into the van, put my hand on the warm dashboard as we drive off. Ten minutes later, my hand won't come off the dashboard, because it turns out I've gashed the entire thing open from side to side and it's bleeding like crazy, and now there's a giant palm-sized scab sticking me to the dash. Amazingly enough, because the cut was a nice, clean smooth porcelain cut, I didn't get a scar despite the depth and bloodiness of it, nor any lasting damage. It just hurt like a bitch for a few weeks as it was healing and I had to be careful not to leave big bloody palmprints on everything.

Elviscat posted:Wear gloves when handling sharp things, and don't try to catch them if you drop them. As an Amazon worker this is something every single drone has beaten into their head from day one: Don't catch falling poo poo. Let it drop. Amazon has all the money to replace that crap. Don't catch falling poo poo. In the time your reflexes jump for the item you don't have time for your brain to process if the item is a knife or a 12 pack of drinks. Let it drop. I still see people moving for the grab (and do it myself) because reflexes are hard to fight. I've seen more than one kitchen knife falling that's also somehow managed to work free of it's cheap-rear end packaging.

When I was 12 or 13, I had something not unlike that happen, it was like different but the same. I was riding my bike through some trails, and there were little streams and creeks running through them. Most of the bridges were level with the trail so you could ride up on them no problem. But one had two steps to get up on it. I was pedaling as hard as I could, and came upon this bridge. I slammed on the brakes and my front tire hit it, I somehow managed to not go right over the handle bars, though in hindsight that might have been preferable. Instead, I went up, almost over. Then I came down. Nuts first on to the goose neck for the handle bars. It hurt so much I couldn't even scream, or cry or yell. I just curled up in to a ball and moaned. I probably should have gotten into the stream and let the cold water numb it or something, but I wasn't really much on thinking at that point.

Guy I knew from when I was a kid died on an ATV from someone going over and ramp one direction when he was about to go over it in the other direction and the other guy took his head off. Friend didn't have a flag on his ATV so ultimately it was his fault I guess? Was years ago but I'll still never get on one.

ATV's seem pretty risky. It's like everyone who does it regularly for fun ends up with some traumatic injury at some point. edit: if you are dutifully hauling sap, carcasses or shitloads of tools out into/from the middle of nowhere, that's another story Jokerpilled Drudge fucked around with this message at 17:02 on Apr 11, 2021 |

Six years ago a 16 yo girl died in Helsinki when she and friends were using the slope below a ski jump tower without permission. It was summer time and the slope was covered with plastic low-friction material used for summer training kinda like astroturf, so you could just sit on it and ride down. Unbeknownst to them the city had placed a steel cable across the slope because some people had been damaging the slope by driving cars and mopeds into it. It was also dark and lights at the ski jump place were off, so there was no way to see the cable. The girl was hit in her neck and died at the scene. Two other girls were injured at the same time.

Wasn't that something the germans did across hedgerows? Seems like setting a booby trap would be illegal.

Not that it was just the Jerries doing it, though. Enough barbed wire or other steel wire laid between trees would stop even a light tank. In the ski jump accident there was a warning sign telling of the cable, but as said it was dark so they didn't see it. The peeps responsible for it got fines for accidental death and injuries.

This isn't the first time OSHA the bear makes an appearance ITT but they're the finest reminder that safety regulations have teeth, and sharp claws, and a crushing grip, and also quite swift. DON'T PUT YOUR WORKERS IN NEEDLESS RISK OR WE WILL RIP YOUR GUTS OUT AND CRUSH YOUR ENTIRE HEAD BETWEEN OUR MIGHTY JAWS! Don't test us motherfucker that thin office door is no match to our strength and hiding behind that lawyer will buy you only a second more of time!

Except the sound was making me act pretty drat prissy. I cook a lot and I'm impatient, so that just made sense too. Some other things like that caused me to just keep plugs on hand all the time.

There's a ton of dangerous dB flying around modern cities, I'm not about to make fun of anyone living their best ear life. There's civics occasionally discussed about if and what we should do to encourage better sound safety in cities.
