I love Jimmy DiResta, but goddamn dude. I couldn't even finish watching that one. PS See how his pinky is kinda crooked? That's cuz he almost lost it to a table saw. Edit: He has a new show on netflix, haven't watched it yet. https://decider.com/2022/03/04/making-fun-netflix-review/

Tell Diresta to gently caress off and give Naomi Wu a show if that's what he's going to do, imo.

There's a (new to me) video floating around some of the OSHA social media accounts today of 4 dudes digging away in the bottom of a maybe 10' deep hole in wet soil. No shoring, benching, or trench boxes. Can't really tell what they're digging for until about halfway through when they finally uncover a buried person's head and shoulders. Dude survives and you see him moving around at the end but

I used aerosol hairspray and a camping stove lighter, the kind with a little steel wheel and a flint.

That reminds me of the Dumbest Thing I Ever Did: as a kid, we decided to pack an empty 12g CO2 cartridge with gunpowder unloaded from shotgun shells, stick a wick in the top, and jam that in the top of a model rocket in the hope that the charge intended to release the parachute would set it off. It worked perfectly, it made one of the biggest explosions I've seen at about 700 feet up without somehow killing or maiming us along the way, I don't know how we were so lucky to this day.

You know those little paper snappers filled with gravel & explosives that are handed out to kids to throw on the ground? Yeah I took a couple boxes of those and started unraveling each one of them, emptying the contents onto a napkin. The plan was to then wrap it all up and use it as a giant, fist-sized popper. I only got about a golf ball-sized pile on the napkin before it spontaneously exploded in my face, scaring the crap out of me and seriously annoying the families there eating lunch in the picnic pavilion around me.

Ruth Amos has a YouTube show called Kids Invent Stuff. According to Twitter comments (because I’m not going to bother looking further) her team met with Netflix to discuss a show but it didn’t go forward and Netflix have a totally original show idea where kids invent stuff with this Jimmy guy. The aluminium foil ball keeps rolling through my brain. I don’t have any kind of polishing compound or machines but still… it’s shiny.

You had to go to Home Depot and buy ABS (an acronym for All Black Stuff, I was told, because HD sold the ABS pipe in black instead of the white PVC). I haven't seen the Home Depots carry ABS pipe in decades though.

Ooh! I did that too! The first two times i made one about half the size of a golfball it went fine. They were pretty loud. The final time i was making a bigger one, i had the same issue as you had. When it reached a critical mass it went boom and gravel was strewn around through the living room.

They were pretty loud. quote:Silver fulminate is a primary explosive, but has limited use as such due to its extreme sensitivity to impact, heat, pressure, and electricity. The compound becomes progressively sensitive as it is aggregated, even in small amounts; the touch of a falling feather, the impact of a single water droplet, or a small static discharge are all capable of explosively detonating an unconfined pile of silver fulminate no larger than a dime and no heavier than a few milligrams. Aggregating larger quantities is impossible, due to the compound's tendency to self-detonate under its own weight.

I would love to watch the Naomi Wu show. Four baby butches haul her in on a palanquin, she makes some killer breast implant mods, then picks a fight with a lovely dude from the audience.

Can I sue a glove manufacturer for my username? (self.legaladvice) submitted 23 hours ago by [deleted] quote:Outside my home, I have a heated cat house, which was being occupied by a wild animal, so I decided to shoo it off while wearing a pair of work gloves. I received a single extremely superficial bite wound through the gloves, but given the high risk nature of the species of animal probably have to get rabies shots. Which, even with insurance are expensive, and just generally extremely unpleasant.

Had a guy get a nice hole melted into his eye while wearing all PPE once. Ball of slag came off, hit the top of his head (wearing a fire resistant hood) and rolled down his head, behind his welding helmet and safety glasses. Perfect little ball just melted into his eye. Not sure if that or the girl who had some drop into her shirt and settle into the cups of her bra was worse.
