Vanagoon posted:Half assed, indoor, pedestrian suspension bridge. Always a good idea. If they'd put a sleeve of box section with the necessary holes around the beam to support and distribute the load from the washers it would have avoided concentrating all the load into that welded joint which was weaker than a continuous piece. I mean, I know that welds can be as strong or in fact stronger than the equivalent continuous piece, but what are the chances that that was welded fully and tested for any cracks/voids when this was an on site change? Edit: otoh I was bad at statics and nearly failed finite element analysis so now i work with computers and post on the internet so dont take my word for it.

quote:John Young Wallace, a fully trained rescue man of 26 and an overman at Easington, was acting as the captain of a rescue team when he met his death. About half an hour after leaving the fresh air base the team was exploring the West Materials Road in the neighbourhood of No. 10 stenton when, without any previous signal of distress, Wallace sank to his knees, said a few words from the side of his mouth about sweating, sat down and then fell over unconscious. Probably he died almost at once as his jaw would sag when he lost consciousness and the lethal external atmosphere leaking past the mouth piece would prove fatal within a few moments. gently caress coal mines forever.

One time in school when choosing possible future fields to train in, one of the options was "Physics" and the guy next to me said "What's Physics?" This is. This is Physics.

My favorite part is that the tape is actually labeled as China Telecom. Like this is such a common fix that they commission their own branded tape for it.

I don't actually understand what is holding these up, the tension in the wire? That Chinese one looks like it's leaning back but the perspective is weird

My Dad was a telephone company lineman, before he retired he ran the crew that replaced poles. Montebello Ca. area. One crew. They were 10 years backlogged. I think it was the SBC years but by the tired looks of the local trucks, AT&T only spends maintenance money at gunpoint.

And being Central Queensland (particularly out west where the mines are) there is only one road to go on. So you are poo poo out of luck taking a detour to overtake. I tried once at a location I knew of a parallel road about 40km from it. Sped like a madman to beat the convoy and when I got to the intersection where I meet up with the road the hauler is on...loving cop car blocking the road and there trundles that loving truck.

This fixes are to keep the loose end from flopping around until they get a replacement pole installed.

The way the ladder is bent apart at the end, is that just how that kind of ladder fails in this situation, or is this two smaller ladders like zip-tied together? I don't know much about ladders if that wasn't obvious.

That is an extension ladder. There's two separate pieces that slide together, the upper piece has hooks that lock onto the rungs of the lower so you can adjust the overall length.

I don't know much about ladders if that wasn't obvious. if the ladder is in the correct orientation, it will not become two pieces. the smaller upper ladder should slot into and rest on the larger lower ladder. when your extension ladder becomes two ladders, you did something stupid
