I was under the impression that you use chains so that there is no "whipping". When a chain snaps it just falls to the ground.

goodness posted:How often do people actually get their home renovations/addons inspected. I assume there is a fee with getting it inspected and passed? In my city the fee is a tiny percentage of the total cost estimate of the renovation/addon. The fee for my small addition was like 16 dollars. *fake edit* It's a requirement where I live to have the city inspect it. You can't have Billy building a second story deck out of scrap 2x4's and finishing nails.

Angela Christine posted:Because young people grew up with hot pockets. Convenience food. In some cases their parents also grew up with microwave convenience food, and nobody knows how to use anything as arcane as a pressure cooker. I'm in my 30's and I have two pressure cookers and a slow cooker that get used a lot. The pressure cookers are newer and have a hole in the lid stopped with a hard, rubber seal. If the pressure gets too high the rubber seal pops off and steam exits the hole in the lid. Even with all of that I do not leave the kitchen when the pressure cooker is cooking.

ekuNNN posted:It finally happened! A cellphone caused an explosion at a gas station: I don't know if this is caused by his cell phone or not, but dielectric heating with a radio is a real thing. I've never seen it with a radio as small as a cell phone, but I have seen it (and felt it!) occur with other portable radios. With millions of cellphones and uncountable parts in fuel/fueling systems the chance of something being on the right frequency, or harmonic, is quite possible.

How many parts are in the fueling systems? And I seriously doubt there are 5 parts in that fueling system. There are pins, washers, screws, etc to account for too.

So setting up a molten metal pipeline up for your neighbour is probably really the most OSHA way to do it. I like how the truck is like: "Nope, nope, nope, nope."

Larry Parrish posted:I used wood heating my whole life until I enlisted in the military. It's insanely cheap compared to propane, especially if you get a license from the Forest Service to poach their huge slash piles during fire season. You do have to stock up on logs/pellets prior to the actual winter but whatever. Wood is our backup. We use electric, but bad ice/snow storms have knocked power out for as long as 8 days before. You're real glad you have that little wood stove in the corner then. Getting the wood can be a real OSHA event every spring though.

SneakyFrog posted:fun fact: In Iraq in 2003 I had an opportunity to use a hand grenade. I was up against a wall of a two story house. The second story was set back a bit so there was a porch up there with a small wall around it. A couple of dudes were firing knockoff MP5s as some Soldiers across the street. I figured I'd just arc the grenade up and on to the patio. Then I had a vision of the grenade bouncing off the wall above me and falling at my feet. I put the grenade back in it's pouch and never took it out again for the rest of my time there.

GotLag posted:Would the bridge crew have a relatively easy escape? I would imagine that the violent capsizing would slam them pretty hard against walls/ceiling/furniture/etc. So they might already be severely injured. Add to that the disorientation of the ceiling becoming the floor and you'd be sucking water before you could orient yourself.

EKDS5k posted:Pound for pound maybe. They're not nearly as dense as steel and weigh basically nothing compared to an equivalent volume. Also they're far more brittle and prone to shattering under shock loads. Same goes for wood, although obviously not as extreme as steel. Sure, yeah. But compared to a stick of wood I'd say fresh bone is a bit tougher.

If you're talking purely about supporting a static load in the vertical position, then yes, bone has a lot going for it. In basically every other application it loses out to even low grade pine. I'm going to start spamming "The fact that" whenever I speak to people about anything.

I was there when this happened: Both of the dudes involved died from having no skin a few days later. There was nothing left standing in the vicinity of the propane company. Their brick store was just gone. Windows across the city were blown out, and there was a disgusting thick cloud of smoke. It was like a dense fog that covered the city.

zedprime posted:What he's saying is the location engineering is supposed to be such that for the normal truck, there shouldn't be a physical way to strike anything easily shearable like a valve or pipe. Like someone backing up too far is guaranteed so you better make it so backing up isn't done going towards important things without a bollard in the way. Oh, I have no idea exactly what happened. I was a teenager stockboy at the grocery store across the street. I just have accounts that were shared in our small town.
