Most aluminum has a thin layer of aluminum oxide protecting it. Mercury can interrupt this process.

Mercury's elemental neighbor, gallium, does the same thing.

You think the gallium just ruined the front of that lock but it went all around sight unseen.

Gallium can be purchased rather readily since it is now used as a thermal paste marketed as containing "liquid metal". The product pages, manuals, and front box is printed over and over to make sure your heatsink is copper and not aluminum :hmmrona:

Knowing a log truck driver who has had never-ending problems with their health and truck (they own their own old truck) I really feel for this guy. :smith:

edit: Does he get hit in the face with his own hard hat after spiking it on the ground?

The ladder thump at the end has a pretty good beat to it, it just needs a bunch of other sound effects and someone with way too much time one their hands can do a music thing.

I love the contractor/construction worker sitting there, knowing exactly what he is about to witness, watching it unfold.

He does this not just because he wants to see a car crash, but because he's worked with these customers enough (boomer named Jim who's either a landlord or Small Business Owner and is going to tell you exactly how to do your job despite never having worked with his hands) that he knows there is nothing he can say that will get the man to reconsider the incredibly stupid thing he's about to do.

that's smoke from a tiny bit of the plastic wire coating being vaporized from heat generated by the electricity arc

fire is just an oxidation reaction, so there was a very brief fire, yes

These track chairs are a good piece of kit but any sort of odd stairs, or steps that are narrow with tight turns is still a pain. I still find them putting strain on my back at times. A steep stairs like in the above posts would just be a nope from me. I'd get the fire service and let them use ropes or something.
Pretty much what you said lmao. Let the water fairies figure it out I aint lifting poo poo.

I've done non-emergency medical transport with the most basic manual Stryker stretcher and a wheelchair minivan with stretcher bar. So, so much craziness. Run whatcha brung.

They'd send you out there with minimal information, to exactly the places where you need to know what you're in for.

E: I would have killed for a stair chair.

Second story around a corner? Three flights of stairs down onto the road? Tiny back bedroom in the rear of the house? gently caress it, figure it out.

"How'd y'all get them in here?"
"Oh, the fire department helped."
"Ah, I see."
*gestures to attendant*
"Wanna try it? We get paid per ride."

My attendant and I would relish our regular 300lb-ers from the nursing homes after doing some of that poo poo.

For all that, four hours of real work a day paid double what private ambulance did. That says more about the private companies than what we were doing, and it still fucks your body up.

same, but I was 12 or so and it was a set of wire cutters. I think something had been wired improperly so that one of the wires in the line was still live, despite the fact that he'd flipped the breaker.

that was the same house where the breaker box once caught fire because of some massive oversight on the part of the previous owners.
