No problem: just cover it with thick timber and then pile a few feet of earth on top. Job done! Exactly this happened a couple of streets away from me: took a hell of an engineering job to stabilize the area. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-berkshire-13630363 http://www.forkers.com/filestore/pdf/project%20profile%20field%20road%20coley%20district%20chalk%20mine%20stabilisation%20scheme.pdf

Tony Snark posted:Not really, it's the normal usual ratio of individuals that can be trusted to safely use dangerous thing versus the hordes of idiots that shouldn't be trusted with anything more complicated than a spoon. There's a ford in my town where a stream runs across a back road. After heavy rain, it becomes impassable but the extensive warning signs and the fact that you're basically driving into a loving lake doesn't deter drivers from routinely cheerfully plowing into 7 feet of water.

Pigsfeet on Rye posted:This morning it's OSHA-3, Florida Man-0. I like how the whole tone of the report is "What a tragic accident" rather than "somebody is going to pay heavily for these 3 completely avoidable deaths". The risk of encountering low-oxygen environments in confined spaces is extremely well-established and well understood and a few simple precautions would have prevented this from happening.

Same scenario that we read about all the time: person A goes into an unventilated manhole and collapses. Person B goes for the rescue and collapses. Person C goes to help and collapses. Turns out that it was a cocktail of hydrogen sulphide and methane that got them. Ventilate your confined spaces, people.

Yawgmoth posted:I can't imagine that being true, at least around here. These loving things sit 70-90% empty year round. How is it effective to charge one person $2200/mo for his 1Br and be surrounded by empty apartments when you could put up the exact same building, charge $600/mo and fill 30 apartments immediately? Is there some kind of bad developer subsidy? The accounting value of the building is likely based on the level of rent that you can theoretically extract from it. For the company that owns it, if they drop the rents, the imputed value of the property would also reduce and that would gently caress up their balance sheet. They'd rather keep apartments empty than reduce the rents, fill the apartments but have their ratio of debt to collateral shoot up and breach their banking covenants.

Last time I was in Switzerland, the Asian guy in front of me was quite upset to find he couldn't take 6 Swiss Army knives on board in his hand luggage. The pilot stuck them in his pocket and handed them back at the end of the flight.

Imagined posted:Seriously. Who panics and thinks "Better throw it out the window"??? Hey, it was a first date! She'd probably already rushed it, so the guy would think she was just taking a piss: she couldn't afford to spend 10 minutes repeatedly trying to flush and waiting for the cistern to refill, 'cos then her date would KNOW that she'd done a shameful smelly poo in his toilet. So she got in a bit of a panic and ended up making things immeasureably worse for herself! That's my hot take on the most important story to happen in the Uk in the last 24 hours, anyway.

So much of the Syrian war footage I've seen is bizarrely amateur by even the most basic standards of common sense. *Dude strolls out into the middle of a street and hip-fires an entire magazine on full auto in the general direction of where he thinks the enemy might be, while his buddy films him on his mobile* *Shades his eyes and has a good look to evaluate what damage he's done while continuing to stand out in the open* *Cap flies up into the air as a hidden sniper plugs him straight in the head*

Reminds me of that grim clip where a river's overflowing a bridge in India. A dude tries to gun his moped though it (it's only a few inches of water, though fast-flowing) and is promptly pushed over the edge into the raging torrent.

Zipperelli. posted:Depending on the speed of the water, I'd bet you could lose a 2-wheeled vehicle in as little as 2 inches of water. Yeah, the guy is like: "I'm heading straight" but the flood water had other ideas. Not posting the clip, 'cos I'm 99% certain he died in the river.
