It's always amusing when a vehicle starts rolling because someone hasn't set the brakes properly, they panic and try to stop it, and then after it does stop they still don't bother to properly set the brakes.

If you're interested, there's a lot of now-declassified stuff about how this was done back in WWII out there. While this might not entirely track with modern practice, even back then bombmakers were deliberately designing mechanisms to kill the bomb disposal folks trying to disarm them.

I pump plenty of dangerous gases into the house myself so having a superior gas-fired stove isn't really a huge increase in risk

Lovely Joe Stalin posted:How very GBS for the OSHA thread to be hating on the victim of a lack of Health & Safety standards. And gently caress those sight impaired folks as well, right? If you're blind enough to not see an open basement access in front of you, you're blind enough to be walking with a cane, which even in this case is entirely sufficient to allow you to identify the open pit and walk around it.

Generally speaking, you do want to have a way to make the helicopter fall out of the sky in a graceful and controlled manner, as opposed to doing it on its own once the fuel runs out.

You should try reading posts in the context of the ongoing discussion instead of treating them as some grand statement made in isolation.

I can't tell if that guillotine has two separate controls to keep both hands occupied, or if the operator is just exercising proper discipline in keeping their free hand away from it.

Demineralised water (which is as "pure" as it can get) tastes like rear end and is also really bad for you. If the water doesn't have those trace salts in it, it's actually ripping them out of the rest of your body, and you need those to live.

The story is that the toilet wasn't actually working properly, and stuff leaking out was a regular thing. The root cause turned out to be that all the astronauts had asked for a large, even when they actually had more proportionate anatomy.

It's plugged in, so probably preheating for the next stage.

They're fine for things where one or the other isn't used very frequently. Rural roads that see like three cars a day, or spur lines that see one train a year, that sort of thing. If both the track and the road are heavily used then it's a recipe for disaster.

Bloody Hedgehog posted:Are we really not? There's no real way to say. The US was still doing that poo poo in secret up until the 1960's, that we know of. The reason it was happening in secret is that we as a society generally agree that it's completely and totally un-loving-acceptable. Undoubtedly there are sociopaths still doing that sort of thing in various dark corners of the world, and also in silicon valley - but when such things come to light, it's the responsibility of anyone with any sort of moral center to stand up and say that yes, this is still and has always been completely unacceptable. Don't make excuses for murderous sociopaths.

Bags of some granular household product, yeah. The bit that looks like a car in profile is the white top of the bag + the plastic carry handle. e: after some searching it looks like water softener. Those of you who read other GBS threads may recognize the company's logo! Jabor fucked around with this message at 09:06 on Nov 17, 2019 |

Guyver posted:Second when people say "lift with your legs" they mean to remove the spinal loading, That's interesting, because I always thought that it meant "lift with your legs", i.e. use your strong leg muscles to do the lifting (that get a relevant workout every day lifting your upper body) instead of overworking your back muscles (that, unless you specifically train them, are generally only used for stabilization). It seems weird to invent an entirely new and non-obvious definition and then rant about how the definition you invented is a bad idea?
