Yeah if hospitals called the bomb squad everytime they x rated someone to find out what was in their rear end and saw tons of wires the bomb squad would probably be there on a daily basis. It's usually a pretty safe assumption that whatever you pull out of someone's rear end won't explode.

Do the gaps in the mortar mean the wall is bowing inward because all the weight is being carried down the outside edge of the wall?

the walls are likely deflecting outwards, as there are no shoulder braces/truss to tie the rafters together. the weight that should be pushing straight down onto the top plates is pushing out instead. in construction, this is know as “a critical fuckup”

(there are also no knee braces or purlins for rigidity, certainly no bracketry and probably no birdmouths)

The DA has already piped up after this interview (it’s a fox article, and gently caress them, but also gently caress the west coast outlets that havent run the DA’s statements) and said that he hasn’t ruled out criminal prosecution. Baldwin is throwing everything he has at the wall to see what sticks, trying to stay out of a criminal court.

When he is slamming the lid down he is slamming a bunch of air with it so the fire will persist for a while even though it is contained. It would go out after a minute if he left the lid on.

When he slides the lid on he is not giving the fire a big injection of oxygen at the same time so it burns through the present supply, replaces it with co2 and extinguished itself.

I think the slow slide effectively nozzles the whole thing so that the pressure due to things conflagrating blows the oxygen out of the narrowing exhaust. Perfect storm of blowing out all your oxygen, and a bit of heat.

I don't know if swinging it down feeds it anymore than its already sucking from the surroundings but that's probably part of it too.

If you've ever had your vents rust shut on your cheap charcoal grill you'll know you can't really crack the lid cause now its an exhaust choking itself even worse while cooling itself off.

It reminds me about how they used to train pilots to be real gentle about terrain warnings, teaching them to be real cautious about their speeds and such during the avoidance maneuvers. Nowadays they train pilots to immediately upon warning jump on their controls and ride the edge of their stall warnings the whole way up to safe altitude.

If you just set the lid down and made a sandwich it'd go out.

The amount of time away from oxygen is probably what matters, not the speed of the lid placement per se. The quicker first attempts don't allow time for all of the oxygen to be consumed. The last attempt takes longer (including the time he takes sliding the lid on and off) so the fire is actually smothered completely.

Moral of the story is just put the lid on and keep it there for a bit.

The same sort of principle applies to fire blankets if you ever find yourself needing to use one. You know the panicked flailing you see in movies where people are just hitting someone with the blanket? Congratulations, you just created a bellows and are making things worse. Wrap the blanket entirely around whatever/whoever is on fire and keep it around it/them. Remove it slowly while keeping an eye out for still smoldering pockets.

Had that sort of happen at a recycling plant I worked at which recycled, among other things, shredded paper. Never found out what actually happened but I’ve always suspected someone was smoking where they weren’t supposed to be and either ashes fell into the paper or they threw a still smoldering butt. Luckily this wasn’t just a giant pile of paper in the middle of a warehouse but a large square fabric bag (about 2m x 2m x 2m) beneath a chute.

Two other people noticed the smoke while I was nearby but there wasn’t a lot at that moment so all I saw was two people standing around intensely looking into the bag. Stuck around a second to see what was going on and then one of them started to pressed one face of the bag down on the currently small fire… then lifted the face up and pressed it down again several times. Fire of course got bigger and lifting the face up and down also started throwing around still burning embers. Luckily the fabric bag was only about 1/4 full and tougher than shredded paper so the fire wasn’t too big and still contained. We were able to move it outside and gently wet it down with a garden hose that happened to be there for washing things.

Nowadays they train pilots to immediately upon warning jump on their controls and ride the edge of their stall warnings the whole way up to safe altitude.

"Ride the edge" of the stall warnings indeed. This reminds me of another OSHA-related thing, where the FAA changed the standards for training new pilots due to essentially alarm fatigue.

One of the maneuvers you have to demonstrate to get a pilot's license is "slow flight," where you bring the airplane down to near its minimum controllable airspeed and show that you know how to keep the airplane safely in control. The aircraft behaves differently in slow flight than at normal speeds, and you'll be at those low speeds during the landing, so it's important that you practice controlling the plane in that regime.

Historically, the checkride standard was that you would slow the plane down until the stall warning horn started to sound -- the first stage comes on maybe ~10 knots before the stall -- and then perform all the required maneuvers while keeping the horn going, demonstrating that you were flying nice and slow.

In the last couple of decades, though, the FAA realized that this was essentially training people to fly around ignoring the stall horn. The proper response when you hear the horn is: push the nose down, full power. Don't wait, don't think about it, don't continue to fly with the horn sounding. Recover immediately. So the slow flight training and stall recovery training were contradicting each other.

As a result of this realization, they changed the standards and now you are required to demonstrate slow flight at the minimum controllable airspeed without having the horn sound. This means the maneuvers aren't quite as knife-edge as they used to be, but it also means the student's brain isn't getting mixed messages about whether you should or shouldn't be hearing the stall horn. Now it's consistent. Good ergonomic decision.

Halons, Halon-replacement clean agents and carbon dioxide
Clean agents extinguish fire by displacing oxygen (CO2 or inert gases), removing heat from the combustion zone (Halotron-1, FE-36, Novec 1230) or inhibiting the chemical chain reaction (Halons). They are referred to as clean agents because they do not leave any residue after discharge, which is ideal for protecting sensitive electronics, aircraft, armored vehicles and archival storage, museums, and valuable documents.

Halon (including Halon 1211 and Halon 1301), are gaseous agents that inhibit the chemical reaction of the fire. Classes B:C for 1301 and smaller 1211 fire extinguishers (2.3 kg; under 9 lbs) and A:B:C for larger units (9–17 lb or 4.1–7.7 kg). Halon gases are banned from new production under the Montreal Protocol, as of January 1, 1994 as its properties contribute to ozone depletion and long atmospheric lifetime, usually 400 years. Halon may be recycled and used to fill newly manufactured cylinders, however, only Amerex continues to do this. The rest of the industry has moved to halon alternatives, nevertheless, halon 1211 is still vital to certain military and industrial users, so there is a need for it.
Halon was completely banned in Europe and Australia except for critical users like law enforcement and aviation, resulting in stockpiles either being destroyed via high heat incineration or being sent to the United States for reuse. Halon 1301 and 1211 are being replaced with new halocarbon agents which have no ozone depletion properties and low atmospheric lifetimes, but are less effective. Halon 2402 is a liquid agent (dibromotetrafluoroethane) which has had limited use in the West due to its higher toxicity than 1211 or 1301. It is widely used in Russia and parts of Asia, and it was used by Kidde's Italian branch, marketed under the name "Fluobrene".

Recently learned about this stuff. Sounds like magic, but apparently there's a 4th corner to the fire triangle and this stuff breaks it. Also kills the ozone layer as a side benefit.
