I swear there used to be a bunch of images going around the web of some sort of junction box which was literally crammed full of snakes having a snake orgy.

My google-fu has failed me, although I did find a tonne of pictures with a single snake hiding in electrical boxes.

Sure, but writing a citation because there was a snickers wrapper in a garbage can without a lid on it probably isn't going to prevent a lot of underground fires or roof collapses.

I guess this fits here. On of our site managers saw a mysterious door that had a safety barrier on the floor in front of it, caution tape at chest level, and multiple signs saying "DO NOT OPEN".

He opened the door.

Turns out the room was being renovated and scaffolding had been placed in front of the Forbidden Door. The scaffold went down and I don't know what other damage happened, but there were no casualties aside from the site manager getting his head put on a pike as he got shitcanned like five minutes after the incident.

Incidentally I always love poo poo like this. As a former archaeologist this still blows my mind. Just look at it!

I'm way more familiar with dry stone walls in northern europe but those are amateur hour compard to this.

Referencing my experience with floods, both sustained and flash, I would say your best bet is to get against a wall facing downstream; debris can crush you against immobile objects if you're on the upstream side.

Get out of the water -- try to work towards up, not outside; staying out of the water is better than getting outside, unless there's a danger of being submerged or the structure collapsing -- and even in the event of a flood being bad enough to take out a building, you will likely be swept rapidly down stream.

If you are swept away, stay calm, keep your head above water, and gently work your way to the banks or to a solid structure that can support your full weight. DO NOT touch the bottom if you're swept away -- you can trip on poo poo under water, get entangled, impaled, or even just step into a hole you can't see. If you have to walk in flood waters, use a stick to feel out in front of you.

Basically to avoid being a flood casualty the best advice is stay high and dry if possible, otherwise work towards that goal at any cost.

they also used to use gasoline at home for dry cleaning. and often this happened in the kitchen.

people also used to fall asleep with a cigarette and set themselves on fire. today cigarettes self-extinguish, and that's also why there are no more cases of "spontaneous human combustion"

I wish the video was closer to the action because I don't know how you gently caress up your cuts so bad that that happens

My neighbor told me they were going to have their tree professionally dropped, and wanted to know if I needed any of my trees dropped - I replied "no, I only drop dangerous trees". I then asked if they were going to limb it up before they drop it because it has a lot of back weight, to which he replied "yep". You can imagine my surprise when I returned home and saw they were over 95% committed, with the limbs still on and no ropes.

I took a class on risk analysis and I chose elevators because I used to be afraid of them (and in buildings that are tall enough to feel how long the cables are, still am) and learned that most of the people who die because of elevators die by falling into the shaft, either while it is under construction or because they are rescuing someone and gently caress up or try to escape and gently caress up. It seems like if you manage to get into the elevator car you're pretty safe as long as you only try to leave through the door.

In the US, yes, because houses seem to be spaced relatively well apart. Terraced housing is apparently more common in the UK, in which case you're going to take out your neighbours' houses too. Even if the ones further away look more or less unscathed, the houses prop each other up, so removing one in the row puts the whole terrace at risk of structural failure.

When you're thinking about "just one atmosphere", try to keep in mind the actual thing we're talking about, this planet's atmosphere, is a pretty dang big thing which, consequently, does actually weigh a heck of a lot.
