Jokes aside, the thing is even tilted forwards https://twitter.com/FireFitsDaily/status/800432123068882944 And there seem to be security folks underneath it sortakinda low-effort-ushering people to the sides and away from underneath it...as it moves forward, prompting the majority of the crowd to go backward to still see their idiot Jesus. What a dumb concept in all regards.

Him and all peeformers are tethered to a point in the middle of the platform, so they can't even walk all the way to its edge. I only know this because kanye was trying to ninja-micdrop on his crowd and gently caress off, but a stagehand had to come up and unclip him first, so it got a little awkward before he could say "Concert's over!" And flee the stage

oohhboy posted:It the same effect when it rains, people just don't bother adjusting to the conditions so they crash more often. Eventually they do I'm in Flagstaff, AZ, and between November and March, you get average lows of around 15 degrees F and about 100 inches of snow. Due to the high daily temperature altitude, snow melts and refreezes daily, yielding especially challenging situations throughout the entire winter. And still, people up here don't have winter tires and smugly tell you about their all season tires, because "loving duh, it says 'all season' right there in the name, dummy!".

I used to drive my American friends that were stationed in Germany to and back from the Ochsenkopf in their cars so they could get tanked on their off-days while skiing (also OSHA territory), and most of them would have bought German cars while stationed there and just have the shops keep their sets of seasonal tires on hand and change them when necessary. One friend had a Tahoe, and when i drove that Big fat fucker up to the slopes, I carefully asked what tires he had on it, getting, "dude, it's a 4WD" as an answer. The rest of that trip sure was an experience. Tahoes with regular tires in the snow may be fun, but holy poo poo, they're dangerous

Jerry Cotton posted:The really big problem with that as a mnemonic is that it's really easy to forget the first word and then you start guessing like "oh immer fits". If someone accidentally subs in "Immer" instead of "Niemals", and that sentence still makes perfect sense to them, they probably should pour water into acid.

https://twitter.com/CA_DWR/status/831294424973930496 Someone explain to me as a layman why they're fixing the embankment of the washed-away road before focusing on the immediate base of the emergency spillway, where they said the problem was? Or is the breach of the road and the erosion carving through it what they meant, and I'm just misunderstanding this?

boner confessor posted:here's a different angle Got it, that's what I was kinda looking for. So they're going to try to solidify and reinforce the steepest part of that newly-created ravine so any future erosion isn't focused on one spot just below that 1600-foot spillway?

Space Crabs posted:I was watching news yesterday and one of the helicopter pilots made it a point to mention they had to wait a full day to start the airlifts because the state hadn't given the go ahead. "We were ready Sunday." Also, someone said earlier they had already seen new concrete being poured, referring to an image that showed the circled section, albeit from a different angle. That section, however, had already been poured as a last-ditch effort in the 1-2 days before the emergency spillway even overflowed. So progress seems pretty drat slow as of at least this morning. And the state not giving the go ahead to fix a loving disaster waiting to happen seems perfectly reasonable. Bonus points if the holdup was due to the NOTAM issued earlier. (Then again, I cannot, for the life of me, imagine that it would have grounded emergency aircraft as well)

Oroville dam layman's opinion: If you look at the CDEC data and go back as far as the 8th of February, you see that they only ever got up to the 900ft level in the reservoir because they had four days of inflows above 100k, and 150k cfs (highest inflow just under 200k cfs), while running outflows of under 40k cfs. And it took quite a bit for them to get from 875ft in the reservoir up there. Now, they're back to 875ft, and if they keep running the spillway on full blast at 100k cfs as they have been doing for several days now, I strongly doubt they'll even get back up to 990ft, let alone the lip of the emergency spillway. The coming storms weren't supposed to be as bad as the ones that brought us to the point of last weekend, and this time they've cranked the spillway wide open. So unless the emergency spillway breaks from fatigue or somesuch, I doubt there'll be any more erosion loving with their repair measures in the next five days. So speaketh the goon armchair civil engineer.

Does "wet charge" refer to fluid accidentally having built up somewhere on that converter, or what happened there? Also, could the electro-experts in this thread put the forces at work in this video in perspective for me? I mean what kind of fuses/safetys/breakers/cables/electrodes/etc. does a 60 Megawatt furnace like that require? I can't imagine the scale of this at all https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_j2jESz7Zl8

RatHat posted:How...? Are you one of the robbers from Home Alone? The tip broke off so deep in the ball of my foot that I couldn't get it out myself, not for lack of trying. On the second day, it got infected, and I figured I had to bite the bullet and go to the local campus clinic to have it removed. After an hour, the doctor there couldn't get it out either, and legally wasn't allowed to cut to the extent that it constituted surgery. So I get a referral to a foot & ankle specialist that ends up trying for yet another hour to get it out without cutting, unfortunately to no avail either. So she has to slice open the ball of my foot, get the thing out, and then sew it up with 4 sutures. I get a bunch of antibiotics and get sent on my way. In the evening, after resting and elevating the foot and watching movies, I notice that the fucker has swollen up massively, to the point where I can't move my toes because the skin is too taut. The swelling rapidly spread towards my ankle over the next hour, and at this point it looks a lot like those "Before" pics you see of MRSA infections on the web. Two friends drive me to the ER, and I sit there while the infection spreads some more. Doctors conclude that, yup, a post-surgery infection, but not life threatening "yet", so they send me home with a prescription for three more antibiotics to fill at Walgreens. For the next 5 hours, it didn't stop getting worse, but it finally slowed down at 7am, when I went back to the campus clinic. They monitored me for another few hours to ensure it was "under control", and then sent me home. With co-pay, ER, ER-doctor, and surgery, I ran up about 450 bucks that weren't covered by insurance. Total bill was something around 3,000 iirc. Oh, the joys of being a European foreigner in the US.

FogHelmut posted:Speaking as an American, you have pretty good health insurance if you only paid $450. I've been told that before. It's the mandatory student health insurance international students have to get over here, regardless of income, age, or academic pursuit. On the upside, it covers a shitton...by American standards. By my native standards...well...lol I've heard friends dismiss my 450 Bill with a scoff and a laugh, because their appendicitis cost them 4 figures including post-surgery care.

I once ended up in some bumfuck airport in the outback of Australia, where the friendly security official woman dug through my backpack and found a screwdriver that had been somehow stuck/concealed in the cushioning fabric. My first reaction was surprise and glee that the screwdriver I thought I had lost was finally back, then I realized the backpack had gone through a total of 14 security checkpoints between Germany, Singapore, and Australia on the entirety of that trip.
