There's a lot about that photo that doesn't make sense. For one, I would expect the pot to deform some before/during exploding. Also whatever was in it should be everywhere.

Pressure cookers are great, and the newer ones have at least 3 failsafe mechanisms, making them a lot safer than the old jiggler type cookers. Also, you can make risotto in a pressure cooker in 6 minutes. It's worth it just for that.

In most cases, with an extra 10 minutes of effort you can cook something from scratch to replace the canned cream of whatever, and the result will be tastier and also have a shitload less salt. edit: How did the osha thread get to this?

Mr. Wookums posted:Go big and just buy a container of sodium citrate and melt some cheese in a beer with a few grams of that. Yes, this. Sodium citrate is loving magical. You can make your own nacho cheese sauce from whatever cheeses you want, and it will be perfectly smooth. Mac and cheese, nacho cheese, alfredo style sauce, broccoli cheese soup...all will be perfectly smooth, with no graininess or oily consistency.

I know a guy who used to be an engineer for a power company who was telling me about all the calculations that go into how those lines are strung and how much slack is in them. Accounting for the weight of the line itself (which increases over the span the more slack you have), snow and ice loads, wind...I had no idea how complicated it actually was.

Would the aluminum have fused itself to the asphalt? I''m trying to figure out how you clean that up. Seems like the hot aluminum would make the asphalt sticky enough to make removing it problematic.

That a workplace has a standard procedure for what to do when someone gets cut in half tells me that there's got to be a better way. Is that guy in the gif doing things the way it's supposed to be? Are the people that get hurt getting in between the big bumper looking things sticking out or something else?

We have a job with 28 buildings, the majority of which were built before the code required sprinklers. A few of them have sprinklers, but not remote monitoring, and a few have sprinklers and monitoring. So what's funny is if the phone line goes down on one of the monitored buildings, we have to pay someone to stand on fire watch until it's back up, despite the fact that there 20 buildings right next to it that never have any kind of alarm or sprinkler.

mostlygray posted:This is one of the most bizarre things I've seen. Normally you use a picker. This behavior seems to be par for the course for his job. He just expects that the forklift will save him. Without it, he would have been mangled. I've had a log pile collapse under me once and it is terrifying. Fortunately, I only messed up 3 fingers and was able to straighten them without issue, but I could have easily been crushed. I just got lucky. Never again. GIven how he just seemed to be poking them with the fork, I don't see how there was any possible ending besides what happened.

Giant scaffolding collapse in Houston today. I guess when one section fails it all fails. The video is pretty amazing for just how much collapsed scaffolding there is. http://www.cnn.com/2015/10/16/us/houston-scaffolding-collapse/index.html

Reverse google image search points to several listings from a 1972 National Lampoon magazine. Looks like Bruce McCall is the artist. "Hobby Pop" may be the name of the image.

Sockington posted:I'd like to think it was inset too far for the forklift (see screen left) to reach. Im thinking they thought they could shimmy it closer to the edge and then pull the hand cart out. Obviously that stopping part to switch to the fork truck never happened. Ah, that makes sense. It never had a chance to work because of where the wheels are on the pallet jack, but it makes sense.

GnarlyCharlie4u posted:I've only ever successfully exploded pyrex. I once tried to use a Bernzomatic to melt the neck of a wine bottle, without taking thermodynamics into account. I only heated it from one side, instead of turning it to heat it evenly. The neck went splodey and left little shard of glass all over the kitchen. My wife just looked at me and shook her head. It was so not OSHA.
