Really late, but we visited Sonic with some friends while roadtripping in the US. I didn't know about the rollerskates (or anything about Sonic tbh) before so it was in itself really weird, but then also the waitress kept falling down and clinging to posts and walls for her dear life. Finally the very flustered manager ran out and told her to get back in. It felt like being in a really strange absurdist comedy.

Some Sonic franchises pay a higher hourly rate if you can skate and serve. When I had a friend working at one in Tennessee, he said it was $1/hr increase, so everyone eventually tried it. When you make federal minimum wage, anything to make the extra buck. It's '50s boomer nostalgia driven and I can't wait for a better drive-in to put them out of business. The tots suck, too.

Anything that comes out of a fryer at Sonic should go directly into the trash. The burgers are okay, but only barely. They remind me of the rural local diner garbage burger constantly highlighted in the Americana thread. It's all chasing nostalgia. I'm an early millennial and I remember roller rinks and the old A&W hot dog stand from the nearby small city where the carhops skated out in the late 80s, but that place was only open six months of the year. Largely depends on where you were raised, I guess.

Thats odd i never even knew they did the skates thing. Can confirm Sonic is dog food level trash best to be avoided unless youre desperate. And gently caress their dumb commercial's.

I think it needs the Talking Heads "Once in a Lifetime" as a soundtrack You may ask yourself, how did I get here... And why the gently caress didn't I connect my safety harness.

To me the short unconnected whatchamacallit looks like it's for attaching yourself to fixed points to catch your breath or leaving hands free. Or maybe I'm reading the setup wrong.

Yeah looks connected to me. Though without one of those things that slows descent by unbundling a bunch line, it's gonna be a hard stop once the safety line is taut.

Sonic does have carbonates cherry limeade. Or at least used to at the one I’d stop at, they were a great form of daily hfcs.

His harness is connected, but if it's like mine it's connected to the non-shock-rated positioning connect (the ones on the sides are not for fall protection, they're for positioning straps so you can rest your legs while you work at an angle) and there's definitely no fall arrester and he's daisy-chained two ropes together and those ropes are connected with Rebar Hooks, which are not intended for vertical work. So he's got his harness connected, but all it's gonna do is shatter his pelvis and at least one of the linkages before he falls to the ground to die. E: Yeah, you can see the much better-secured fall arrest attachment point on his back just after his foot slips, and a positioning strap attached to his other positioning point. We just watched a man barely evade a horribly painful death. Shit Fuckasaurus fucked around with this message at 20:46 on Jun 21, 2021 |

Unless it's a dynamic rope like rock climbers et al use in which case it is somewhat elastic by itself. But with that much lax I think it would still be plenty uncomfortable.

Looks like flax rope to me. Modern dynamic ropes have a woven cover over an inner core (usually multiple cores) and are most often nylon. No matter what kind of rope it is, it's fraying an awful lot for something he's trusting his life to. E: And the splice for the loop looks like it's covered in opaque tape on both ropes, so you can't even inspect it to see if it's coming undone. There's like twenty OSHA violations in that very short clip. Shit Fuckasaurus fucked around with this message at 20:44 on Jun 21, 2021 |

THANK you, Comrade! I keep trying to get the word out because it's imperialism's favorite lie about the natural world. And then a movie about a caveman taming a wolf was released shortly after that study was basically buried, called Alpha, lmao. Amerikkka NEEDS its might-makes-right narrative!

Crazypoops posted:can anyone who knows explain the optics of beautiful colorful blue shock wave that passes underneath the water? Pressure waves travel faster in water than in air. It takes more energy to get them started, but once they do they move like gangbuster. As seen in the video, they easily outrace the sound waves in the air.

As the shock wave gets close to the surface, the water starts cavitating (boiling), creating a mass of tiny bubbles that reflect blue light and allow the longer wavelengths to pass through.

Atticus_1354 posted:It's bubbles. This. Shockwave passes, the pressure is lower on the trailing side, the decrease in pressure so near the surface causes cavitation. The shockwave is going out in all directions but deeper down the water pressure's high enough to not get much in the way of cavitation even on the trailing edge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvM2E540nYg Just as the charge goes off in the first second of this video, you see the cavitation on the trailing side of the shockwave, as the bubble from the explosion is still expanding.

gently caress You And Diebold posted:https://twitter.com/CBSNews/status/1406990357720674306 That looks a lot more insane if you think the barge is the aircraft carrier. Apparently the video was taken from the aircraft carrier. Here's a video that has another angle showing how close the explosion was to the actual ship: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMfkO5iUkb4 There has been a strain of thinking among some that surface vessels are deprecated and will all fair immediately the event of a large-scale, major-powers war. They can't really hide, and they can't outrun ICBMs, so if things were to ever get hot between the US and a country with a strong missile program then they'd all be sunk in the first day. I imagine tests like this are meant to counter that argument. LanceHunter fucked around with this message at 03:10 on Jun 22, 2021 |
