ElBrak posted:The one thing I look forward to most as my state opens things up again is driving a forklift again. I usually do AV jobs for my Union, but every now and again I take jobs unloading poo poo with a forklift. I just hope things aren't a diaster when concerts and conventions happen again. When our shop opened back up after our states big shutdown, moving some stuff around with the forklift was one of the first things I did. Felt good.

jetz0r posted:The jet of clean fire going straight up at the start of the video is the BLEVE relief valve venting gas from the propane tank. The valve is attempting to let pressure out so the tank doesn't explode, or at least delay and reduce the severity of an explosion if the tank is being heated faster than pressure can be reduced. Speaking of BLEVE relief valves in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CX8RUR-WgAY

That may help get your auger back, but the cables themselves are probably a writeoff now. They may have been bent too far and snapped, or pulled too hard and broken somewhere underground

What are the odds that the utility markers hosed up marking before he started drilling? Imagine if that was a clandestine NSA fiber optic setup.

I assume the glass was defective and couldn't handle high temperature for that long. I've had candles in glass containers that got pretty hot, too hot to hold comfortably in my bare hands. Though I don't know why anyone burns a candle for longer than an hour. You want the scent to develop in the room. If you want the aesthetic of open flame and soft lighting, you buy scentless pillar candles.

Would be kinda surprising if only one single candle out of the batch had the problem so yeah there's probably a bunch of these around

Arsenic Lupin posted:I just saw an Etsy shop for somebody who pours candles into vintage glassware. Not tempered vintage glassware, just jadeite cups and vases. I closed the tab and tiptoed slowly backward. Open that tab back up and find the fine print where they state they're not to be burned only used for decoration, which is even more funny.

What even went wrong there? he didn't torch the actual cylinder or connectors. It looked like the torch was pointed about 6 inches away from the valves, and there must have been <whatever that is> escaping from a leak, which got ignited?

Acetylene, usually used for soldering but is also useful for warming up the lead in a closet flange. He's lucky he had a b-tank with an actual handle, most of the ones I've used need a key or a crescent wrench to shut the needle valve. The torch assembly itself has its own valve but if the leak is upsteam of that, well, hope you have the key handy!

According to my lawyer friend, Mickey Mouse took out a $15 million insurance policy last month and it went into effect *on tuesday* of this week. It will almost certainly settle out of court with zero coverage but there’s a non-zero chance that Mickey is hosed. Of course he’s rich as hell so he won’t change anything about his bullshit behavior for literally over 70 years but it’s still nice to know he might die shamed and alone having alienated his few remaining fans. He might finally see that the happy families exploring his parks don’t fill the void so much as define the void. What a loving fall from grace, my god. He used to be one of the most popular mice on the planet and now he’s just a widower peering through the blinds at other people living a real life that he gave up for money.
