Strychnine was used as a performance enhancing drug into the 1920s. I'd rather do a beer mile than a rat poison mile.

Not even one of the fun alkaloids even. Just microdosing that drug with no effects other than horrible painful death.

I see random claims that strychnine really does work as a stimulant in small doses - the historical quote is that it "takes the flabbiness out of a man". At high doses it causes cramps (unto death) so I guess the theory is that low doses increases intentional muscle activation?

As someone else posted, you can see his arm being broken at the elbow, just a quick snap when the piece breaks off and lands on his arm.

To be fair, as far as injuries involving a lathe go, a broken elbow is a relatively minor injury considering most lathe injuries involve the terms 'de-gloving' and/or 'injuries not compatible with life'.

It could well be apocryphal, but according old family lore (I think my great grandmother on my dad's side?) strychnine is supposedly a fantastic substitute for baking powder and makes some extremely fluffy delicious biscuits. In case anyone was wondering.

I mean yeah, it's not great stuff. (Though "the paleolithic in a bottle" is more evocative than enlightening).

Still, rummaging around pubmed suggests it really does work. I'm not at work, so I don't have any journal access - but to quote the google scholar summary of chapter 17 of  Handbook of Toxicology of Chemical Warfare Agents (Patocka 2017): Strychnine has stimulant effects at low doses but, because of its high toxicity and tendency to cause convulsions, the use of strychnine in medicine was eventually abandoned once safer alternatives became available.

After you get your hair cut, they blow compressed air over you to blow all the hair away.

To blow air in your mouth!

I dunno, they were using it to blow hair away, but, like, a broom works better? They also had tool boxes as cabinets at every station. Seemed like they were going for a garage vibe.

I've started to see air lines more often at fancy barber shops. But even at the $20 cash-only spot where I get my hair cut they blow the hair clippings off of you (they just use a hair dryer with the heat off). That's clearly a better solution than trying to sweep it away.

In March of 2018, the FAA received
a report indicating that the NLG on a
Boeing Model 787–8 retracted on the
ground, with weight on the airplane’s
wheels, while undergoing maintenance
testing. Although no maintenance
personnel were injured, the incident
resulted in major structural damage to
the forward fuselage of the airplane. The
NLG retraction occurred due to the NLG
downlock pin being installed in an
incorrect location: The apex pin inner
bore of the NLG lock link assembly,
which is adjacent to the correct location
for the NLG downlock pin. A similar
retraction occurred in March of 2016 on
a Boeing Model 787–8 airplane with
passengers aboard, resulting in
substantial damage to the aircraft and
minor injuries to passengers. In
addition, we received a safety report
from an operator’s maintenance
technician arising from the March 2018
incident that described the risk of an
inadvertent NLG retraction due to
accidentally installing the NLG
downlock pin in the apex pin inner bore
of the NLG lock link assembly. We
considered the reports of NLG retraction
and the safety report in our risk
assessment. Accidentally installing the
NLG downlock pin in the apex pin
inner bore of the NLG lock link
assembly, if not addressed, could result
in the NLG retracting on the ground,
possibly causing serious injuries to
personnel and passengers and
substantial damage to the airplane.

Exactly. Or you make them exactly the same so you can leverage economy of scale if the parts all serve a similar purpose, in this case, pinning the NLG.

The rub comes when a mechanic drops a part and doesn't know/ care that it happened. Nobody admits to that poo poo.

EG for interchangeable parts: In the engines, the borescope port plugs are painted so they don't accidentally dump their oil on the tarmac or unbolt something on the line that they can't re-torque on the line (FAA Regs prohibit certain maintenance operations unless certified).

Those are the best barbershops. In and out in 10 minutes, and a Korean lady (might vary base to base, but the majority at the time were Korean women, especially at Fort Campbell) gives you a scalp massage. I always tipped well at base barbershops.

Haven't cut my hair in 5 years. Feels good.

In the eighties my grandpa would take me to get my hair cut on base. I remember it cost $2.65. Sometimes he’d take me to an off base barber, and that guy had that weird vibrating thing he’d strap to his hand and give a quick shoulder massage. In hindsight it seems weird as hell.
