SpacePig posted:I'm not sure how true the story is, but think this is a helmet of a guy that hit a bus and got dragged for a bit. Helmets are important. I don't think I've told this one in this thread. True story. Prior to OSHA, my dad investigated fatalities for the DOD. He was working on a US Army base in Frankfurt in the 1980's. You know how cables holding up telephone poles and stuff have that hi-viz yellow plastic around the bottom? Well, they didn't around these parts and this soldier, with girlfriend on back, got around traffic by riding his motorcycle on the sidewalk, doesn't see the wire, bike crashes hard, girl is scraped up but not seriously injured - gets to the boyfriend, starts screaming, goes into shock. His head's a hundred yards back, still in the helmet, spinning, cleanly separated at a 45 degree angle.

Computer viking posted:Brutalism covered in green plants is indeed cool - good brutalist designs often have really generous open spaces, but they need the plants to make that feel pleasant instead of oppressive. Liking Brutalism with Trees is like saying that you think a person is attractive so long as they are hidden behind another more attractive person.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyQwgBAaBag I thought about posting this in the Aeronautical Insanity thread, but this is the thread that likes planes on treadmills, plus technically making videos is this guy’s job, and he “risked his life” to make this one.

Behind the Bastards has a good episode up on the Triangle Shirtwaist factory fire and it is not only pure OSHA violation, but directly leads into the creation of OSHA as an institution. https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-behind-the-bastards-29236323/episode/the-triangle-shirtwaist-fire-83187144/

The defining character of brutalism is the user of naked raw concrete and strong geometric shapes. Covering all that with plants nullifies those qualities. You don't like brutalism - you like plants. Just say you like plants.

Not every brutalist building is ready for clinging plants, it takes extra design and maintenance to do without compromising the concrete cladding. But for those that do you're making an argument like a Chia pet ceramic is a strong geometric shape that it doesn't need a chia afro. Anyway geometric shapes in forests are cool as hell even if you aren't cultivating clinging plants.

Wasn't that helmet image debunked as the result of an intentional abrasion test and not a riding accident? Or was that a different hosed up helmet image

I was having trouble at first because I didn't fully understand how the propeller was connected to the wheels of that thing. Once I realized that the spinning of the wheels spun the propeller, it all made sense to me.

Once I realized that the spinning of the wheels spun the propeller, it all made sense to me. I might be inventing this part in my head but I half remember a physics teacher bring up sailing and discussions/research into mechanical computers that could most efficiently tack and jibe through wind and someone figuring "did you just describe a propeller?" So if I didn't just completely make that up, I might have been primed to believe propeller car. Maybe my highschool physics teacher was on the same message boards as those dudes.

I have a fondness for brutalism because it reminds me of being in university buildings as a kid, which nerdass me thought was super cool They also aren't "square covered in glass", which is what every building built near me in the last 30 years boils down to

Wingnut Ninja posted:The hangar where I work has chronic raccoon problems (among other OSHA-tastic features). They get up into the ceiling, occasionally dropping out to surprise people on watch in the middle of the night, and apparently it's against the rules to send someone up there with an M-16 and tell him to Figure It Out, so the problem persists. We had raccoon poo poo in a storage room after one broke in and while learning about raccoon-specific roundworm I saw one of my favorite sentences ever: "If you feel you may have ingested raccoon feces inadvertently please contact your doctor."

Brutalist buildings can be really good, but the typical brutalist building just isn’t. They style’s portfolio is cursed by being cheap, popular, and enduring. Many architectural styles benefit from survivorship bias. Brutalism doesn’t have that. Lot of poo poo buildings went up and few of them have come down. They’re not even the good kind of enduring. They’re in disrepair, but not in a way that threatens imminent collapse. Demolishing them would be extremely expensive, so they crawl along in tatters.

Oddhair posted:We had raccoon poo poo in a storage room after one broke in and while learning about raccoon-specific roundworm I saw one of my favorite sentences ever: I was investigating a loss in Sea Isle City, NJ, about a block from the beach. Raccoons had gotten into a small crawlspace area on the ground floor, which was elevated 10' because the house was on pilings (per code for the coast). The owner was alerted to the issue by the fetid small of raccoon poo poo emanating from the registers when he ran the heater. The furnace unit was located at grade under the house. Turns out they'd torn through a spiral duct and had been nesting in the ductwork all winter. One of the features of coastal areas is the relentless wind. Blows almost all the time, and this day was no exception. I needed to see if they'd gotten into the HVAC unit itself, so I unscrewed an access panel to check the plenum. As I removed the last screw, the entire panel blew outward and I was treated to a faceful of raccoon poo poo, dust, and whatever piss-covered dross they were using for nesting material. My mouth was open. Somehow, I did not contract hantavirus or any of their lovely parasites. The smell haunts me today.
