Can a plane that small hold enough fuel for that trip?

Actually no. He asked "can", not "did." You have no idea if it was carrying as much fuel as possible when it began that trip.

That looks like a purpose-built structure though, some kind of obstacle course for excavators. Which is nifty, but not exactly comparable.

Probably not. Unlike an ice tray, the sides and bottom of the foundation are most likely well insulated by the earth, so heat transfer will be slower than with contact to the air. So a top-down freeze like a lake or pond. At the very least some serious cracks in the walls and floor, but severe damage compromising the integrity of the foundation is not out of bounds.

When I was a kid I had a chemistry set. It was made and specifically marketed to kids. It contained small amounts of several substances that were significantly toxic enough to have little skull-and-crossbones icons on the labels.

The sensors themselves are very sensitive to infrared, but because of that there's a hi-pass filter in front of the sensor that blocks most of it, to such a degree that if you want to do infrared photography with a digital camera you either need to mod it to remove that filter or use a tripod because your exposure times are going to be very long.

A friend of a friend shared this on facebook. Supposedly from a passenger ferry.
Investigations are ongoing as to why there's an e-stop in the toilet.

Lol... What kind of dick tells a guy who got both of his arms ripped off by a tractor that he really should have accomplished more? "You're not trying hard enough. How come you're not a silver medalist in Olympic rings?"

Odd that they'd go that direction instead of directly hooking into the optic nerve.

I'm guessing you've never seen the inside of a hay baler and/or have no idea how a baler works. There's all sorts of knives and pokey bits rotating around inside and if someone tried getting inside they would both be seriously injured and the baler would break.

Since we're doing personal OSHA, the company I work for has offices on the top floor of a building, and there's access to a very nice roof deck, with plants and tables and a scenic view of the other skyscrapers nearby. It's the scene of most company parties (weather permitting) and a common place for people on break to hang out.

A little while back, a department which shall remain nameless had a party out there which got a little out of hand. In the grand tradition of Ruining It For Everybody, the powers-that-be decided to lock the door to the roof every night at 6pm or so. The only problem is that there's no lock on the door, since it's a marked fire exit. (Well, a fire entrance, technically. If you're on the roof when an evacuation happens, you need to get back inside to get to the stairs.) Undaunted by this, they have resorted to putting a bike lock on the door handles every evening.

Word is that this is just temporary, and there's a new door on the way which won't be a crime reminiscent of one of those factory fires in Bangladesh. But for now, follow the lighted exit sign and hit the bike lock!

It may reduce the total amount of fecal bacteria on your toothbrush, but bad news goons. Your entire house is covered with fecal bacteria. It's unavoidable and not unusual.

And if you have a beard, it's teeming with it.

Same here - makes me happy for those plugs that sit flush and can be rotated so the cord doesn't block other outlets. I had an extension cord that sat flush with the outlet but didn't twist so the wire dangled right in front of the outlet below it, effectively blocking use. Wanna strangle the jerk that made that design.

I've always wondered what happened after that. Do they write everything off as lost? Do they have some guys sort out the destroyed stuff from the damaged stuff from the "we can still sell it" stuff? How long did it take them to dig the driver out?

I worked for a automotive supply warehouse briefly, and virtually every box/crate/pallet there weighed a goddamn ton and it looked very similar to that gif, aside from the collapse anyway.

$470 000 to set this up in the loving boonies. A lot of idiots are trying to kill the art portion of infrastructure spending because of it.

I do kinda want to fly a biplane through it. Maybe we can sell it to Red Bull.
