wanna cut a log? just make your own bandsaw and cart it along the trunk by using a dolly, no big deal

Surely it would have been easier* to put the log on some sort of dolly and keep the bandsaw stationary?

*Not sure if it would be safer...I feel a homegrown sawmill is never safe.

I'm honestly more concerned about letting all that liquid nitrogen evaporate indoors. I guess his kitchen wasn't enclosed enough for that to be a problem, but yeah, don't gently caress with nitrogen in an enclosed space

Especially considering I'm 99% sure that's a second kitchen in a basement workshop area, which means likely even less ventilation than the ground floor.

But yeah, the dude is really on thin ice and once of these days will hurt himself on something. If nothing else, getting lung cancer from inhaling all the fumes from his "backyard foundry."

I was taught as a kid that fire doubles every minute. After seeing house fire videos I called BS. They can double every 15-20 seconds. It does eventually slow down but it gave me a healthy respect for it.

Interior fires spread even faster nowadays because of the large amount of synthetic materials in furniture, upholstery, curtains, pillows, etc...

I still don't understand the Austrian rules on traffic lights.

Lights go in the order green -> flashing green (couple seconds) -> yellow (couple seconds) -> red
Green means go.
Flashing greens mean "stop if at all able, go if unable to stop" (so the same as the meaning of yellow in all sane countries)
Yellow means stop (it is illegal to cross at this time)
Red means stop (it is equally illegal to cross at this time).

Wow, that flashing green is weird. In some countries (Canada, for one...maybe just Quebec? It's the only part of Canada I've driven in) a flashing green is a "protected green" and is the same as a green left turn arrow in the states, i.e. no one will be coming from the other direction, so just go on through, you have right of way.

Another bit of miscarriage-related :nms: fuckery: a few years back, my weirdo best friend had a fairly early miscarriage at about 10 weeks. She hadn’t realized she was pregnant because her periods are super irregular, so she thought she was just having a really hellish period, until she passed something in the shower that looked like a gummy bear.

She’s an artist, not a medical person. It took her a few minutes to figure out what it was. During that time she picked it up, turned it back and forth a few times, and then squished it.

She said it was way easier to squish than a gummy bear would have been, and that’s how she knew.

Is your friend in anyway related to GE Cafe?

This appears ridiculous at first glance, but I think it's understandable.

Judging from the long shadows and general luminosity it looks like the time of day when sun is setting at the perfect angle to blind windscreens. And from the direction of the shadows he has to driving be straight towards it. It was probably a super glare, which would definitely obscure a slim object with its dark side towards you.

Probably just in the blindspot of the A pillar...good lord, some of those are MASSIVE these days.

They did this because the NYC press called him out for always having his motorcade idling while he was in meetings, even though he had signed bills against vehicle idling. So they decided to try this so that they could cool the car without having the engine idling.

Or he could just suffer in a hot car for all of three minutes like the rest of us.

Good God, what a baby.

Fake edit: Hell, he could still get into an already chilled car if they just started it, like, as he was leaving whatever place he was at. It's going to take him a few minutes to get outside to the car, so that's plenty of time to get it to comfortable temps.

From a few pages ago, but gently caress yeah. My truck is a 99 Mazda B4000, which is just a re-badged Ford Ranger. It's not too large, but big enough to relatively easily haul a queen mattress + frame (thanks to the racks on the back).

It's green, rusty, and has some :krad: flame decals along the side.

When it comes to farm equipment, I like to assume that the notices were put it after that same incident occurred.

Almost certainly. Hell, that's how most safety equipment/warnings come about.

I think I talked about this before, but medical equipment is the same way. Enough patients die because a doctor/nurse/random person walking into the room increased the medication flow, or reduced oxygen, etc... so a new safety measure is put in place.

I specialized in testing and repairing anesthesia equipment, and they are a textbook example of that. Things like a physical interlock between the nitrous and oxygen knobs so that a doctor can't increase the nitrous without also increasing the oxygen, because enough people died because too many of them did exactly that.

The oxygen supply knob is also larger and has different knurling than the nitrous and air knobs so if a doctor is blindly fumbling for a knob, he's less likely to mistake another knob for the O2.

Gas vaporizer interlocks. Nitrous isn't the only anesthetic gas used, other gasses, like Sevolfurane, Desflurane, etc... are delivered by small vaporizer modules that attach to the front of the machine. If one is opened, it locks out any other ones from being opened to prevent more than one anesthetic gas from being delivered at a time. The modules also have keyed fittings to refill, so you can't put Sevoflurane into the Desflurane vaporizer.

There's more, and I actually just found a good paper on it here:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3821264/

It has citations about cases where a patient did die or was injured before a given safety feature was implemented.

A mother from Florida is suing an indoor entertainment park after her 10-year-old son was injured after falling 20 to 25 feet from a zip line and onto the concrete surface below, according to a lawsuit filed by the mother.

According to the FDACS incident report, the boy was seen in a video walking from the harness area to the dispatch area "without having his harness fully secured." During the video, the investigator notes that the "leg straps can be seen not buckled" and that he could be seen "holding his body weight with his arms" while riding the Sky Rider.

It's baffling to me that there was bare concrete under the zipline and not some sort of padding.

And then he died in a hang-gliding accident.
