Gotta wonder how many equivalent barrels of oil that is. Oh and every farm down wind for 50 miles now comes with free extra micro plastics in their produce!

Pretty satisfying but the heavy metal poisoning from constantly being exposed to powdered metal from the paint and rusty surfaces even with the pressurized suit is very osha I had a summer job in college bead blasting the inside of milk tank cars for trains. Hot Wisconsin summer, wearing a hoodie taped down over the respirator, gloves taped to the hoodie and my pant cuffs taped to my boots, squeezing between anti-slosh baffles while dragging my airlines. That loving sucked.

People on the Marquee Showbar level and above had few escape routes from the building, all of which rapidly became jammed with struggling people. And the Oroglas–far from softening and dropping harmlessly out of its frames–was burning. Molten blobs of burning plastic rained on the screaming people struggling to get out, spreading fire across the Solarium floor.

I feel like the fire resistant properties of asbestos would be somewhat neutralised by saturating them with bitumen. e:fb

I recently did a report on phase change material insulation for buildings. It's a really neat concept, people have been looking at it since the 70s, but it's never really gotten to mass appeal and I was curious why. Then I realized what the phase change material people are talking about is: paraffin wax. You basically put bags of wax inside the walls of your building, and the melting or freezing of the wax insulates the building. Does it work? Yes! Is it extremely flammable? Also yes! Throw all the fire-suppressant nano-particles in there you want, insurance companies are still going to balk at it.

The UK are already cladding buildings in thermite, hard to imagine paraffin being worse.

Flash flood in the desert. Usually the mixture is like 20% water and 80% rocks/dirt/sand/unlucky plants growing in the wash/garbage blown in from the desert. It's basically like a sand blaster and on a sufficiently far enough away and down-hill enough wash, you get that kind of speeds. It's pretty obvious whoever is in charge doesn't know what they are doing or is mind-boggling stupid. They should never have even gotten into the wash when they saw the trickle that dude is lifting people over, and by the speeds at which they are moving, they don't realize the absolute mortal peril they are in until they see it rolling downhill at them.

My takeaway here is that a low center of gravity is very important to skateboarding. New product idea: osmium-weighted shoes, marketed towards skaters. You may not be able to lift your feet, but they'll stay on the board no matter what.

Throw all the fire-suppressant nano-particles in there you want, insurance companies are still going to balk at it. There are nonflammabe materials, like salt hydrates. I looked into them recently, but they’re just so expensive that they only make sense with really specific construction and environmental conditions.
