Do you guys go in the dome? We had to go into ours (DDG) to do an inspection on the array. Although our dome is filled with fresh water. The airlock to it always made me nervous.

So a bit of "lost fingat" local OSHA. Guy last night blew a giant hole in his backyard by filling an Xbox with explosives (tannerite would be my guess) and setting it off. He apparently has an extremely large amount of additional explosives and the neighborhood is still evacuated about 18 hours after the fact. No word on if it's a boy or a girl :v:

Yeah it starts off with fresh water but after months in the ocean, it evens out. On a 688 you can access the inside of the sphere from the inside of the boat and the dome from the outside. It's possible to go in and out of the dome while next to the pier, once it is pumped out and gas free'd.

Climbing around inside the dome, sail and ballast tanks should be it's own OSHA thread. It's like a claustrophobic jungle gym that is a thousand degrees, slippery as poo poo and smells like the inside of a wet dog.

He'd have to shoot tannerite with a fairly high velocity cartridge to pull that off. Even .357 or .44 Mag out of a rifle won't do.

Oh well, what's a firearms charge on top of an explosives charge between former friends and neighbors?

Hand-over-hand used to be really popular which I believe came from when cars didn't have/have to include airbags. It's been something explicitly taught against for a long time now though.

Hand-over -hand is standard. Shuffle steering is for racing with a fast steering rack. I shuffle steer in general, but in a parking lot, it's hand-over-hand. Shuffle steering in a parking lot will slow you way down.

I happened to practice shuffle steering when I was a kid so I got good at it. It's not safe by any means. It does save you though from crossing arms. It's only fun on a curvy, deserted road. Otherwise, it's just really not safe.

Always do hand-over-hand at low speed. It's just better unless you have 10 minutes free to park your vehicle.

I’ve seen a gen2 Eclipse do a 720 on the highway IN THE DRY. It is literally impossible to underestimate the driving skill present in the general public. They will generally do exactly the wrong thing at exactly the wrong time.

I recall checking wiki after some bad movie to see if this stuff was real and allegedly it kills/killed a bunch of bomb makers because looking at it wrong makes it explode.

quote:

Acetone peroxide is an organic peroxide and a primary high explosive. It is produced by the reaction of acetone and hydrogen peroxide to yield a mixture of linear monomer and cyclic dimer, trimer, and tetramer forms. The trimer is known as triacetone triperoxide (TATP) or tri-cyclic acetone peroxide (TCAP). The dimer is known as diacetone diperoxide (DADP). Acetone peroxide takes the form of a white crystalline powder with a distinctive bleach-like odor (when impure) or a fruit-like smell when pure, and can explode powerfully if subjected to heat, friction, static electricity, concentrated sulfuric acid, strong UV radiation or shock.

Yeah, tannerite has seem little to no use in terrorism because it requires the massive impulse of a rifle bullet to detonate even after being mixed. If you want to build a bomb to kill people, you've got much easier options like black powder in a pressure cooker. All of the accidents that happen with it are people overstuffing a target, standing too close, and getting hit with shrapnel. Or starting wildfires with a gender reveal party.

My first car was an AWD Gen 2 Eclipse and I once spun a 720 in the dry taking an offramp too fast. When AWD/4WD vehicles lose traction they tend to do so spectacularly.

Nope, that's a different idiot. "CEASE FIRE MOTHERFUCKERS" is 100% home grown TFR ca . . . I want to say 2005? It was already a borderline legend when I started posting, so take my regdate and subtract a few.

Tl;dr is that there was a goon meet with a bunch of people shooting stuff, and tannerite was involved. Someone plopped a bunch of tannerite in an empty wooden crate that was something silly like 25 or 50 yards off the firing line and was out there presumably on the logic of "it's fun to shoot empty containers." That's waaaaaay too close to be sticking tannerite in anything, and especially something that will fragment if blown up. Anyways, tannerite goes boom, chunk of wooden box flies back towards the firing line and clocks SkyShark in the dome, queue "CEASE FIRE MOTHERFUCKERS." No one seriously hurt in the end, iirc SkyShark got a scalp cut but that was the end of it. Could have been much, much worse.

OSHA as all fuuuuuck and I'm incredibly glad I wasn't there for that.

drat that's worse than the gooncamp where we were having roman candle wars and someone had brought mortars. Someone lit one, then in a panic threw it into a bush, where it exploded and started a fire (that was quickly put out luckily)

Pretty decent oubliette, 7/10 dungeoneering there. Had to take off some for lack of shoring and hypothetically your victims may be able to escape through the claustrophobia pipe. 9/10 if that pipe leads to a vertical section there's no escape from, or some sort of skull chamber

I handled a loss once where one of them fell off of a truck travelling south/east on the upper deck of the I-95 Girard Point Bridge in Philadelphia, just at a point where the upper & lower decks split to form back into a single road surface on the landward side. It dropped forty feet onto the back half of a north/westbound Volvo wagon, absolutely pancaking it but somehow miraculously causing only minor injuries

Popular with terrorists because it can be made from non-controlled precursors and bypasses some types of explosive detectors. Unpopular with terrorists because it's almost impossible to make and use without blowing yourself up.

Couple years ago somebody a few blocks down from me died in a fireworks battle trying to launch a mortar shell off his sternum and dropping it in the tube backwards.

Three hours later, someone else from the same apartment complex did it again.

My ex brother in law was trying to look like a cool army man when he dumped a mortar in upside down and then kneeled next to it covering his ears. We saw the flame from the propellant shoot out the top and then realized what he did and started screaming at him to run.
