Cross posting from the construction tales thread.Deep 13 posted:I think this thread would appreciate Grant Thompson, youtube DIY superstar. Seems like a reasonable solution to the problem "how do I control the current in my home made arc welder".

UltimoDragonQuest posted:Was there a Watch For Falling Rocks sign? This is maybe my second favourite sign acter the "frogs!" sign or whatever it is because what the gently caress am I supposed to do if a rock falls on me or so close to me i can't brake and how has the sign helped? There might as well be signs every 500m saying "Warning: possible hazards".

Angela Christine posted:You aren't supposed to plug in your nintendo there, that socket is for lamps. So you can turn all your lamps off and on with one switch. Current building regs in the uk insist that the lamp sockets have a specific plug design so you cant plug regular devices into them. I think the logic is that the maps are on a 5A fuse vs a 13A but I'm not convinced that the sockets at my dad's house aren't just on the 13A circuit because the electrician was lazy.

dablakh0l posted:Actually, there is no specification of orientation in the NEC code book. Two theories about it being mounted with the ground pin up is that something dropped from above would hit the ground pin first rather than shorting the two main lugs. The second, is that someone plugging a cord in, most likely has his thumb on the top of the connector. If his thumb touches the ground lug when plugging the cord in, nothing happens. However, if his thumb bridges the main tabs, he's going to know it immediately. Originally, the 3-prong outlet was designed to be mounted ground up, however people saw a face in the pattern and mounted it 'right side up'. Once again the mighty British 3 pin plug/morning star combo wins, until the earth pin is engaged the socket won't actually switch, none of this mount it upside down poo poo.

Jusupov posted:Got to get more pine beetles somehow, easiest way is to not burn the forest and just let it turn brown. Dead pine trees are insanely flammable though. Years ago some friends burned an old christmas tree in a tiny courtyard garden and it went up in seconds. This was obviously a stupid idea but someone poured water on it so the real problem was how do you get a soaking wet half burned christmas tree out through your flat without covering everything in poo poo. Answer: you don't.

surebet posted:Would. BAE systems had (or has) one of these set up to take about 4 people that they used to show off on open days or something. Of course, that was programmed specifically for it. Insert joke about reliability of BAE programming here.

Three-Phase posted:So there were two different iPod versions, FireWire and USB, and they weren't interchangeable or keyed with different connectors to make it impossible to plug the wrong thing in!? The one time it would have been legit to change the connector and force everyone to buy new cables...

Delivery McGee posted:That happened in a grocery store I used to work at once. It was the aisle with the deodorant on it. A can of Axe broke on impact, took off like a rocket, and barely missed hitting a cashier in the head. That would have made a local reporters month: "Local woman survives Axe to the head"
