Is he standing on two other drills that look to be just barely in the wall? What the gently caress?

It's ok, he drilled them into the studs.

What would you like to know about it? It's considered "work positioning" rather than fall arrest or anything, since you're always in suspension and not subject to a shock load.

There's tons of excellent IRATA example videos done by these Brits.

Those are all proper rotary hammer drills, so the walls are cement/stone. Still pretty stupid and hard on the equipment.

Interesting fact, that'll be an actual grease, since engineering greases are quite literally an emulsified mixture of soap and mineral oil. Good poo poo.

I'm guessing it's from a fire truck. Looks kinda like the stick figure is wearing a little stylized fire helmet, and IIRC fire helmets can be fairly heavy.

Yeah, I saw a "How It's Made" and that poo poo is multi-ply thick rear end leather, soaked in some kind of varnish and covered in shellack. It's got to weigh a lot.

This is why helmets are tethered to the driver's torso/harness in motorsports applications.

Usually fiberglass these days. Can still buy a leather one if you want but I don’t think many departments issue them any more.

Firefighters are something’s called Leatherheads for this reason, and there is a thing called FOOLs - Fraternal Order of Leatherheads

aren't lithium greases just soap analogs without added oil? Like normal soap is sodium or potassium, and you can get hard soap or liquid soap. But the lithium salts of fatty acids don't come out as soapy, they come out as fuckin grease.
Or do they also add mineral oil so it has certain properties?

E: I somehow misread what you wrote, so you're saying the grease component got de-emulsified?

ERM... Actually I have stellar scores on the surveys, and every year students tell me that my classes are the best ones they’ve ever taken.
Well, like, consider what a bar of soap feels like when you squeeze it hard. It's kind of paste-like, squishy, and slippery. A bit like grease, but without the actual "greasiness?"

If you mix soap with a ton of oil, it turns into the grease we all know and love. That's it. Lithium soaps (with no oil) still behave like any other soap -- we just use them instead of sodium soaps (like for your hands) because they melt at a higher temperature.

I think the poster you quoted is saying that the detergents in the windshield washer fluid have combined with the oil in the crankcase to form a true grease, since those are the only two components that are required. Presumably most of the water in the fluid is either emulsified or boiled away.

HANS was only made mandatory in NASCAR after four guys popped like Rock-'em-Sock 'em Robots in iirc 2001 -- one a demigod, and a grandson of a demigod, and two other guys nobody cared about. The guys who'd come over from Indycar used it, but the Old Boys' Club weren't pussies like the open-wheel kids -- Dale Sr. wore an open-face helmet, even -- and, welp. The open-wheel kids (and Dale Jr.) retired over the last few seasons. having taking some truly hellacious hits and getting out with at worst a mild concussion.
