This poo poo drives me crazy. At least the guy is filming them, but for gently caress's sake why doesn't anybody do more to intervene? I'm not saying assault the guys or some dodgy 'citizen's arrest' that can get you into trouble, but why not just approach and say "hey that's my bike"? I've never witnessed someone so brazenly stealing a bike, thankfully, because IDK if I'd be able to not intervene.

PainterofCrap posted:Welllllllllll...you can't make decent beer with pure, microbe-free water. Infected beer smells & tastes like poo poo. The myth is that they drank beer/wine instead of water because water was unhealthy. In fact people mostly knew the difference between water that would make you sick and water that wouldn't, knew that boiling water could render contaminated water safe to drink, and safe water sources abounded in the medieval period. Medieval societies could in no way even produce enough grain and grape to keep everyone's thirst sated with wine and beer. https://zythophile.co.uk/2014/03/04/was-water-really-regarded-as-dangerous-to-drink-in-the-middle-ages/ https://leslefts.blogspot.com/2013/11/the-great-medieval-water-myth.html https://www.medievalists.net/2014/07/people-drink-water-middle-ages/ Also not sure what you mean by microbe-free here; beer is absolutely not microbe-free. Some styles involve literally dozens of species of yeast and bacteria to produce the finished result. Boiling the wort sterilizes it, yes, but then it's inoculated with the leavings from prior batches of beer or just spontaneously from stuff drifting in the air. And grape must isn't boiled to make wine, you just crush everything together and the natural microorganisms that were living on the grapes go to town on the sugars you've made available. quote:Now, if you're saying that the alcohol alone could sterilize water: that takes some pretty serious proof levels Yeah. People were definitely not starting off with drink with enough alcohol to kill bugs and then diluting it to drinkable levels. That wouldn't even work unless you had a clean source of water to begin with, because by the time you'd diluted it to drinkability you'd also dilute it to the point where the alcohol wasn't high enough to kill bugs.

Zero VGS posted:I've got a lithium-powered angle grinder too. I call it "the key to the city" My grand uncle has go bags for things like that. They're mostly bowling ball bags with a set of tools for specific purposes. We're in the same business, so many of them are tailored to dumb poo poo you run into there. We drive bread delivery trucks. So I'm there moving house with a rental truck, when the round lock I'm using totally freezes. Key broken off inside and all. "Twenty minutes." Sure enough, dude shows up with a battery-powered angle grinder and a set of iron working tongs. Zip-zap, the door opens. Some highlights: We've run into a trailer knocked off it's landing gear: "Twenty minutes", chain ratcheting come-alongs and a spare leg for the landing gear. Broken locking flap on a trailer's coupler: "Twenty minutes", a couple crowbars and a really big pair of pliers, plus spare parts for the flap. Snapped off lugs on a truck: "Twenty minutes", compressor, air hammer, full sets of lugs and lug nuts. "I don't like being slowed down twice by the same thing." Alright then, Frank, I guess not! After the first time, it's only weird that where ever you are in Tampa Bay help is, "Twenty minutes.", away. Maybe also weird that the most honest dude I know has tool kits to break into or through anything we've met. You have to be careful asking for help sometimes. Once mentioned I needed a gas can. A week later he's picked up every can he saw off the side of the highway (seriously, I-75 is a gas can mine or some poo poo). Half the garage is covered in wayward gas cans. "Pick a few." I needed shelving for the utility room, guy comes over with his trailer and 16 feet of 5 shelf high gondolas a few days later. Shell retaining springs for a hundred year old Remington Autoloading Shotgun (forerunner to the Model 11)? "My friend Kenny took a look around. Here you go." It's not hoarding if you give it all away!

The Ancient Greeks definitely believed it but were completely wrong anyway. There's accounts of them adding a tiny amount of wine to drinking water to "purify" it, which would do nothing but mildly taint it pink. Water filtration and boiling to purify have been known for thousands of years from Egypt to India, even if it wasn't always done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUQRfxpGql4

Yeah, boiling water to purify it was so established that hippocrates took it for granted, and was credited with inventing an easier-to-make filter for removing sediment from boiled water.

Also humans in general aren't particularly stupid? Nobody in the past was dumber than us, they just didn't have our millennia of institutional knowledge and science. Most people understood that if you set up your village on a good source of drinking water, you shouldn't poo poo in it and drop all your garbage in. Especially not upriver of the people taking it. Drinking water purity started becoming an issue more in the Early Modern period and Industrial Revolution when cities began exploding in population that they weren't capable of handling. Even then, London had built an elaborate water piping system delivering from the countryside in medieval times and its problems were more related to population growth overtaxing it (and eventually a little tiny fire) than the water purity.

With modern cameras and monitors you need eye protection while watching a video of someone welding or the UV radiation the camera picked up and the screen is emitting will blind you. My uncle told me this fact, he works at Nintendo so he knows what he's talking about.

Speaking of, I was watching Forged in Fire earlier and noticed they had a little dulling screen thing set up behind the guy using the welder so the other people on set wouldn't go blind. I thought it was neat.

The ship is towing the buoy by its anchor chain. The chain is released at its destination, which pulls the anchor over board. The forces involved in pretty much anything nautic turn the "finding out" phase of loving around generally into something you experience only once in your life. From sailboats bashing your brain out with the boom during a turn (conveniently located at neck height in the cockpit on many sailboats btw.), going over board from any large ship being a death sentence, snapping tow lines cutting people in half… If that dude got any part of his body stuck in the chain, he'd be lucky if the part was just torn off.
