God, I wonder how you locate stuff under water. And mark it.
On the ground, I know they use paint, flags, stakes etc.. but on water?

Magnetic tape, surveyor buoyies and installation plans.

The loop wasn't on the plans and the surveyor assumed the cable went in a straight line.

When you burn a candle, the wick melts the wax and only the tiny amount of melted wax in the wick will reach the temperature where the wax burns, i.e. the flash point.

If a candle melts completely, and it's in a container where the wax keeps getting heated, the entire liquid mass of the candle will reach the flash point and start smoking. Explosions could happen when the vapors from the smoking melted wax catch fire, or when someone sees the entire candle burning and douses it with water.

I had this happen with a glass candle. It burned all the way down for several hours until there was no wax left and just loving exploded. I got pelted with glass but fortunately no cuts.

fun fact: this is why the san francisco police aren't allowed to have helicopters any more.

quote:

The SFPD "Aero" Squadron was at its peak in the mid-1970s, with the number of helicopter and small plane flights rivaling the frequency of the Los Angeles Police Department. After several accidents (one of which a helicopter crashed in Lake Merced, killing Officer Charles Logasa in 1971) and complaints about the "Eye in the Sky" program, the unit was disbanded. The helicopter unit was featured prominently in the first Dirty Harry film, identifying a sniper on a roof top before a murder was committed. The unit was reactivated in the late 1990s, but after another fatal crash (which killed two SFPD officers, Kirk Bradley Brookbush and James Francis Dougherty) the Aero unit was put into an "inactive" status indefinitely. In times where it needs air support, the SFPD contacts the California Highway Patrol who has a Napa air base.

The candle can be capped and its scent contained.

The wax can all burn without either wasting a cylinder around the edge or leaking onto the furniture as the edge melts.

Sometimes you need some extra help winning the loteria. (But after years of burning these religious candles, I’ve never had one explode or even crack. Because these are built to be burned for days at a time and thus don’t cheap out on their glass.)

Remember always that Sharon Osbourne is human loving trash.

Sharon Osbourne Faces Backlash for Firing an Assistant After He Saved Her Dogs from a House Fire

“So then outside there was a fountain,” she explained. “I pushed Ozzy out and then the arm and his hair stopped. And then I think ‘Right, where is that assistant?’ So I go into the guest house and he’s going, ‘Everything Alright?’ and I’m like ‘No, house is on fire. Get out, help. Go in and get the paintings out.’ ”

“There were dogs, and I said ‘You must go in and find the dogs,’ ” she recalled telling the assistant. “So he did get the dogs, and the fire engines arrive. Very lovely people. They came and they had this oxygen for the assistant. So then I said to him ‘How very dare you, you work here, and you get more paintings out right now.’ ”

“I took the mask and I put it on my dog,” Sharon said, which earned applause and laughter from the judges and audience. She then explained the moment she decided to fire her husband’s assistant.

“After this terrible night, he was not talking to me,” Sharon recalled. “And Ozzy and I were counting everything and we were laughing and laughing and he goes ‘I don’t see what’s funny about any of this. I think I am going to have damaged lungs.’ “

“So then, I just said ‘If you don’t think that’s funny, do you think this is funny?’ And he said, ‘What?’ And I said, ‘You’re fired,’ ”
Sharon said, again receiving applause and laughter from the studio.

Is there something else that's bothering you Mr. President?


Squinting through the low res and the rain, this could be a case of the first pilot parking too far over - the box shaped area is double-wide and has two danger signs as if to accommodate two aircraft, and it looks like the centre marking of the space he should have landed on is visible next to the chopper, but the res is too low to tell for sure.
Second pilot has to then try and improvise a new landing site without using the anticipated points of reference, right on the boundary between the clearly boxed area and the irregular shaped area tacked on the side.

Of course working with a competent marshaller on the ground you can stick a helicopter almost anywhere, but doesn't seem to be one present here.

When I'm explaining to coworkers how to lift with their legs, and they say "I don't know how to tell if I'm doing it right" I tell them if their knees hurt, they're doing great.
