Relying on the stop bar to save you when you stick your foot in a woodchipper is like relying on a fuse to save you when you use a blowdryer in the tub.

Leperflesh posted:It's hard to tell with a photograph and monitor because of colors etc. but I'd guess it's around 1100 to 1200 degrees F. Also because most cameras pick up a lot of infrared. I assume it was visibly glowing at least a little or they wouldn’t have snapped a photo, but beyond that it’s hard to say.

ol qwerty bastard posted:I remember taking an intro to engineering course and learning that when you design a bridge, you figure the maximum weight it can carry based on it being covered in humans, since a tightly-packed crowd of people actually weighs a lot more per square meter than vehicles.

But this one looks hilariously dangerous; I'd be afraid of that blade snapping off and flying up into my face or something.

Carbon dioxide posted:Apparently, at some point during the industrial revolution, there were factory towns with a huge steam engine in the middle and moving belts delivering power to every factory around it. Just like there would be electric wiring from a power plant today. I'm betting it wasn't much more dangerous than the first high power electrical connections.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIoBbQQs_p4 I couldn't find any outdoor examples, sadly.

Leperflesh posted:Re: the aluminum transport talk, you guys know how cement trucks work, right? They mix cement and water at the plant and then the truck has to get to the job site and unload within a specific amount of time. A serious delay and the cement hardens inside the mixer. Can’t you “poison” the cement with sugar to prevent that?

Unperson_47 posted:Does that mean they could retrofit the older trains with the newer, safer couplers? If so, why don't they? Not that that would save someone who values their job more than their life enough to jump between two train cars. I think the idea is that the U.S. has been using knuckle couplers for longer, so most vintage locomotives/cars there already feature them.

Carbon dioxide posted:Pipes for water systems to fight fires are required to be flushed every few months or so, to prevent getting diseases in the stale water, which can cause worse troubles than a small fire, if the water is sprinkled on a lot of people. Yeah, this is the OSHA thread. Just because it’s law doesn’t mean people do it. Emergency showers and eyewash stations are somewhat more likely to be flushed regularly, but you’re still taking your chances with them in many institutions.

What I’m saying is that it’s useless.
