My car in 1987 could turn the loving lights off with the ignition switch. My new car just beeps at me. They took the time to wire a sensor to trigger the beeper, just make them turn off.

Residents near the Roxborough Antenna Farm here in Philly have reported AM signals coming through the plumbing inside their houses.

My house in Florida had this. You could hear it on the telephone, or if you took a speaker and put it on like the water faucet or unpainted window frame. There was an AM station in the swamp behind our house.

For those who don't care to watch them futz around for 15 minutes, they try some bullshit, like battery shorting and lenses (a real lense works, surprise surprise (a lense made of piss in a bag doesn't)), then mix brake fluid and chlorine to get the money shot.

Ah, didn't know about all that. For what it's worth, I know about it possibly messing with your heart rate, and my pulse didn't seem tachycardia-ish(Not sure what the word is, Tachycardic?). The surprised spiked my heart rate up a bit then it calmed down. But, I do have insurance now so if thats a possibility then I definitely will go see a doctor if need be.

It isn't you who pays for the ECG. You know how basically every medical form in the USA says "Is this visit related to a workplace injury? [ ]" ? Check the box. Ask your boss how you go about getting the ECG.

As a elementary school child I remember thinking forklifts looked "puny" as you described. Then we were picking up a skip of rocks to build a fountain and I saw one heading for a decently sized rock and was worried for the driver, oh no he's going to bump over that rock! Then the rock was turned to dust without the forklift even slowing down. My 10 year old brain was basically just :stare: and I learned a lot about physics in that split second, and why my dad insisted I stay way the hell away from everything.

Jesus christ you people and your soap. Hand sanitizer (correctly dosed) or plain soap and warm water.

Aren't you supposed to wear gloves while welding? This is one of the pictures that scrolls by on the autobody website I'm taking my car to for repairs. I mean it's no holding the hot part of the soldering iron to repair a motherboard, but it seems a little high on the UV scale for my taste.

Fine you win. I thought it helped the soap work better as a surfactant to get the germs off your hands to be rinsed away with the water. I was wrong. It certainly feels nicer though.

Cat5 can be had as low as 28 AWG.



That is 48VDC, and if you look closely the supply cables are 4/0, and the load cables are 1/0. My eye level was the top of the plastic shroud. I'm sure nothing would have happened if those little stacked plate things I am assuming are a fusing mechanism between the feed and the breakers decided to blow.

One human probably won't have any effect, even including things likes shoes and clothing and pocket contents. But 100 humans might really gently caress poo poo up. The real beauty is, if enough humans fall in, it can alter the chemistry so much that it alters the microscopic layer of minerals that gets deposited constantly along the outside of the geyser/hot spring. So far in the future a geologist can come around and look at all the hot springs and go "see this layer of minerals here here and here that doesn't look anything like the rest? This is from when a bunch of dumbasses fell in and died"

Why are we robbing future geologists of such a rich historical site?

https://www.reddit.com/r/OSHA/comments/4thvle/recently_had_a_new_nitrogen_vent_installedright/



quote:

So we just realized we had this problem because our oxygen deficiency monitors (ODM) went off but none of our other systems showed any kind of leak. In fact, the sensors were reading a 25% oxygen concentration, when the normal alarm concentration is about 19.5%. There's nothing in our lab that should be generating oxygen, so we put our heads together and realized that the calibration sensors must have been malfunctioning. Those calibration sensors are positioned outside (bottom left-ish in the picture) and sample the fresh air about every two hours, generating a baseline for the ODMs inside. Unfortunately, they calibrated the system while liquid nitrogen was pouring out of the vent, so the baseline got a bit skewed.

We're in the process of fixing it now!

Edit: As some kind people have pointed out, 19.5% is where things start to get dangerously low, and it's where they're set to go off. Sorry for the mix-up!
