Personally I don't even own a phone that can install apps. Nokia 3310 can call people, text people and work as the world's most unignorable alarm clock. Any other computing is going to remain stationary in my home.

If its the original one and not the reimagined re-release, they can provenly take a roadside bomb to the face and keep on trucking. As long as you take note of where the battery pack flew. Those are the over-engineered to withstand damage -era Nokia mobile phones that take a hydraulic press to die.

Because there's no smooth floor to roll out on that chassis. He had to step carefully or he might have gotten trapped by stepping into a hole or getting clothes stuck to something. Nightmare stuff.

From a ways back, but as an industrial maintenance tech one of my very first tickets was a PM to check eye wash stations. We'd had the PM system for years prior to me starting, and when I checked operation the water looked just like that. Apparently the previous techs, including my manager, had signed it off as working because it hadn't moved or fallen apart.

Reminds me of Richard Davis, founder of Second Chance, a bullet resistant vest manufacturer that he started in the 1970s. To overcome skepticism from would-be buyers (mostly law enforcement), he would shoot himself in the torso while wearing said body armor.

Yeah, it's called your blood-covered index fingers

Safety wire pliers rock but I guess FAA recommends against teethed pliers so it's not best practice to use them on anything that's not the last twist anymore

lmao what. explains how i was able to get a nice set of blue point safety wire pliers so cheap. i figured they were ex-aircraft to begin with but this takes it to another level.

anyway. safety wire everything. started doing it to my motorcycles and now its spread to everything I work on.

There are concerns that you can create weak points in safety wire if you use gripped teeth to create twists from where the teeth dig into the wire. AFAIK it's not a regulatory requirement at this time, but I wanna say there's been a bunch if reports of snapped safety wire root caused back to safety wire pliers.

I think blue points are smooth gripped with like a wave in them[?], but people find them a PITA to work with

Safety wire as a retention mechanism rules and I do it for things that don't really need it
