Apparently Biden is smarter than Fox News gives him credit for, based off of the photo op shots below. They will complain he's using the bridge collapse to push his infrastructure agenda. OANN will call out the bridge as a Crisis Actor. Turmp will claim it's a false flag and ANTIFA blew it up to avert attention from the border.

Reposting since the conversation's still going in case some folks missed it. It doesn't redeem the movies, really, but it does make them make sense. It's a quality watch and I can see why it got the Hugo nom. Even goes into how the movie radically affected New Zealand labor laws.

I typed "repair FRP" into YouTube and this was the very first hit:

Sandals, no PPE to speak of, straight huffing a visible plume of microscopic glass shards into the lungs with a psychedelic 70's jam band going.

I looked it up, and OSHA says fiberglass dust is much less bad as asbestos:

https://www.safetymanualosha.com/is-fiberglass-a-health-hazard/

quote:

Because fiberglass breaks across the fiber to form tiny fragments, the tissue response is very different when these particles are inhaled. When fiberglass fragments are inhaled and deposited in the small air sacs of the lung, the alveoli do not close up and trap the particles. The particles are expelled from the alveoli and there is a rapid clearance of fiberglass dust particles from the lungs.

Carry on then!

Well yes, hence why I said that it could also be some fly-by-night carny with a quarter-million dollar robot arm and he just cranked the motion overrides past what is safe for humans.

I don't think that's likely though, and while the arm certainly can move that fast, that video is just sped up to make it look scarier.
There's no such thing as a "safe for human payload" setting you've got to override is my point. A smaller arm will overload its joints before you hurt anyone (assuming you don't yeet them at the ground). A larger arm won't really move fast enough (max G is quite low because they're so heavy). It'll still be exciting.

I didn't say they were overriding any specific "safe for humans" setting either. I said, in my joke, that you could give the carny some money to crank the overrides to 200%, by which I mean the feature that exists on essentially every industrial CNC machine or robot, where the machine is programmed to move at a certain speed but you can dial that up or down by some factor as you're adjusting its performance, slowing it down or speeding it up as required. For instance, the machine is programmed to swing people around at 4 feet per second, but you slip the carny a twenty and he turns it to 200% and now it is moving at 8 feet per second.

OK but you're not considering that the operator of this particular robot arm might be a dude with a can do attitude, an inflated sense of self-worth and not enough good sense to fill a thimble.

"Safety features? Speed limits? gently caress that, I assume it'll be fine and that's more powerful than all the math in the universe!"

Remember: normal ziplines don't rocket their passengers into a hill at 100 mph but with dudes anything is possible!
