When I was in grad school, some local guy kept calling up our office, wanting to schedule times to meet up with us and discuss all his theories about things like HAARP and radar beams being aimed at him to control his behavior and such. He said he could "feel himself vibrating" from then when he was in bed.  He sounded unhinged enough that we asked the higher-ups to look into having someone officially dissuade him from any further contact. I guess that's not really OSHA related, but it was very weird, and technically we were worried about him showing up and causing an incident at the workplace.

LMAO, so somebody's dad stole some enriched Uranium metal strip (probably a piece of tamper or something) and offered it as a piece of the Roswell UFO. What an idiot.

Do we know that the alien ships were not made of/powered by enriched uranium? Maybe we learned it from them (though I think Roswell was after the Manhattan project).

Uranium does make a great radiation shield, but you don't need enriched uranium for that. Not to mention if some alien was using it as fuel, it would be neutron activated. The bigger concern is that Uranium metal is actually pyrophoric (uranium metal reacts with the air and can produce hydrogen which can then produce uranium hydride if trapped and burst into flame).

One of my colleagues in the geology department had a pack horse to carry her rock samples around the Cascades and it died of exhaustion/exposure in the middle of nowhere.

Unless they did a mass spec (and they didnt) they wouldn't know if it was enriched, and it probably wasn't. Probably someone pocketed depleted uranium that was being machined. Or maybe they took it from the tail ballast from an old 747. Enriched uranium is a security risk, but depleted (or just natural) metallic uranium is just radioactive and very toxic. The NRC likes people to think that all radioactive material is illegal, but the rules are just weird, so idk.

Yeah I mistyped didn't mean to say enriched.: I collect radioactive isotopes and antiques, trust me I'm aware of NRC general license rules. But give they describe metal foil/sheet, its probably machining tailings like you said.

I'm still annoyed they say that tritium capsule keychains are illegal because they're "toys", but tritium gunsights and compasses are totally fine because ???. Tritium illumination is insanely useful for so many things too (such as attaching them to your tent's zipper pull so you can find it in the dark)

My lab in grad school worked with nitrogen and light gas guns, and we were very careful with rigorous safety procedures. This was good, because our lab was inexplicably on the fourth floor of an off campus building otherwise used by the medical school. Our gas guns pointed out the windows, because the only other directions available were "into the hallways" and "into neighboring labs." This is generally considered in our field to be not ideal. We put inch thick polycarb over the windows and didn't worry about it much, because we had momentum traps and catch tanks in between the gas guns and the windows, so the real danger was from a breech failure. The university safety guy came by and was much more concerned with the gas lines run through the drop ceiling (in case they carried oxygen or other inflammable gasses, which they did not; they were for helium and nitrogen) than the gas guns. We tried to walk him through our engineered safety features and safe firing procedures, but he didn't care. The university didn't have any regulations for gas guns, you see, so as far as he was concerned we were fine. One day I came into the lab and found him standing on the lab counter, checking something on top our fume hood that was a leftover from when it had been biology lab space, and that we only used as a paint booth for sample prep. He had one foot planted on either side of the tray samples I had prepped and laid out. I was very angry.

My coworker's dad has been a manager at our company for like thirty five years so he's got tons of stories about ways people got fired over the years. Apparently one guy passed out in the line of mechanics all waiting to swipe their badge to clock out at the end of the shift. The medics cut his clothes open and found him wrapped in a 25' shop air hose he was trying to steal. DR FRASIER KRANG fucked around with this message at 02:58 on Mar 2, 2023 |

I was helping a lab mate with his masters work one week. We were sampling fish all over Eastern Arkansas, lots of it in farm ditches. This type of sampling used rotenone, a piscicide. We'd block off the sample reach, sprinkle rotenone, scoop out dying fish, and preserve them, and detox the water. Next day, we'd come back and grab all the ones that died and floated up overnight. On one of our second day samples our advisor came out to help. We sloshed around in the ditch (no waders, just wet wading because it was too hot) scooping up fish and started noticing a lot of the fish had these huge necrotic lesions on them, way too much decomposition even for a 24 hour dead fish in the summer in Arkansas. This is how we all learned that cottonmouths are scavengers. Now we were all raised in the South, grew up playing in ditches, and had been doing this kind of work in these kind of habitats for a while. Snakes are just part of it, you keep your eyes out, don't put your hands where you can't see them, don't linger in place too long. But none of us had ever seen so many cottonmouths until that day. And we all kind of realized about the same time "hey there's kind of a bunch of snakes here." The longer we looked, the more of them popped out. Big ones, little ones, in the water, in the bushes, on the bank. Someone would shout "hey don't walk up the bank this way, there's a snake here" and it would of course be coiled up in a spot we'd all been climbing over on hands and knees. At one point our advisor realized the snakes were all there for the dead and dying fish and had been accumulating en masse overnight. We had to stop the sampling a few times to seine or scoop cottonmouths out of the ditch so we could keep getting the fish. I transferred one particularly big snake across an 8 foot berm into another ditch so we could get on with counting a net full of fish only to turn around a few minutes later to see it coming back up over the berm to get to our fish. They just kept coming, literally dropping into the water from bushes, slithering along at eye level next to us while we pulled seine, all while we were waist deep in water and knee deep in mud down at the bottom of a ditch.

raggedphoto posted:Thanks and yeah I think a "shoes in the kitchen" policy is in place now. My aunt dropped a rotary cutter (think a razor sharp pizza cutter, but for fabric) on her foot and cut a tendon. Despite this, I immediately take off my shoes when I get to sewing class. I justify this to myself by thinking, "Well, MY rotary cutter automatically retracts the blade when I take off pressure, so if I drop it, I'll be fine," but I know in my heart it's basically safety squints.
