Not to resurrect TSA chat but when I worked hazmat one of our jobs was going to pick up all the seized drugs from TSA at DIA. There wasn't a ton so maybe they were just popping them like Werther's originals

I remember one year when Discovery was filming a regular documentary that I guess was gonna be used for Shark Week, but then one of the researches got his leg bit bad on-camera so they pivoted on the content or the show and it became Anatomy of a Shark Bite

Did she bring the missing bit of calf that she retrieved from the shark, or did her dad cut off his own leg so she could pickle it and bring it in for show and tell?

I don't remember the specifics, but I'm guessing it was hanging on by a thread and the doctors just had no choice to remove it. But I'm choosing to believe he wrestled the shark, reached in, and pull his calf muscle out of the shark because it belongs to him

knuthgrush posted:Wait, hockey is evil now too? As others have mentioned, the Hockey Canada scandal is the most recent and egregious display of rape culture enabling I can think of in any professional sport. That they used like $20 million, some of which was taxpayer money as a slush fund to pay off victims of sexual assaults, and we didn't respond by burning the institution to the ground and jailing its executives, is a HUGE indictment that the kind of rear end in a top hat who still watches pro hockey doesn't give a poo poo about victims. And not a single player in the league said poo poo about it either, real classy boys' club where they make performative gestures like Pride jerseys (that some players can't even be arsed to wear because they're There's this handy spreadsheet if you want to be even more horrified. I own two Leafs jerseys, and they will never see the light of day again. gently caress hockey.

Reminds me of the apocryphal story about a miniature (big enough that you can sit on the cars) railway in Kent, England during WW2 that a German pilot considered so realistic that he tried to strafe it but misestimated his altitude and crashed into ground.

https://www.richmondindiana.gov/news/warehouse-fire-information For the Richmond warehouse fire The city has a google drive linked down page that has some powerpoint slides full of pictures of what the property looked like before it burned to the ground. It’s pretty much the textbook definition of everything the fire code was written to prevent. The local government is trying to run with the line that they had a court order to have the property cleaned up, but imo the fact that this order had been put in place in like 2020 and the place was still completely full of poo poo in 2023 puts a pretty big culpability on the city for the outcome. Hopefully it gets other state fire marshals to think a bit harder about the ramifications of just letting these kinds of situations just rot for years.

How does that even work? That stick seems awfully short for comfort considering you're detonating a loving landmine with it. Don't these things have wider kill radii than you'd think? Even small-rear end grenades like the ones you see dropped from drones in Ukraine have nasty fragmentation properties that make it a bad day for anyone within like 20 feet, at least it seems that way from the videos. Or is a device like that specifically designed to direct its energy directly upwards into the poor sap who stepped on it? What are the 'deadliest' types of landmines? I don't want to start another derail if there's a better place to ask that.

Many mines are designed to maim rather than kill, because a wounded person binds more resources. See for reference, the M14 "Toepopper", or the little plastic mines Russia scatters around the place. The explosion in the video is enough to serously shred your foot.

So the hit from the branch was pushing it down on its trigger and the force of the blast would be mostly straight into the dirt.

Antigravitas posted:Many mines are designed to maim rather than kill, because a wounded person binds more resources. The purpose of a mine isn't to kill someone or destroy a piece of equipment, it's to stop (or at least slow) movement through an area by forcing the enemy to go around or spend time and effort looking for mines. Any soldiers you maim/kill or vehicles you damage/destroy are just happy accidents, and civilians killed and maimed in the decades after are tomorrow's problem. Edit: Maiming rather than killing is a side-effect of meeting the requirements for denying an area while being as small and light and cheap as possible, which means they only need to be powerful enough to gently caress up someone's foot/leg when stepped on. If you make them more powerful (and thus bigger and heavier and more expensive) then you can't make or carry or lay as many of them. GotLag fucked around with this message at 15:54 on Apr 15, 2023 |

Besides which mines give an audible and visual indication to defenders that someone is approaching from *that* direction. We had flashbang alarms as a replacement, really just little fireworks with tripwires that would make it difficult to sneak through a bush in the night without setting them off.
