Why would I want to potentially kill someone near my home you psycho?

You confused medium density (density of the air) with the density of the bolt. Terminal velocity is much higher than 2m/s.

WTF did he think he was in Blackbeard's castle? Why would you open a door taped over and labeled "DO NOT OPEN"?

So... are you sure that there was nothing in the room besides the scaffold? Did anyone actually witness it? Maybe there was something of national security importance there.

How often will anyone who is not an electrician, even have access to more than 220V? Most people will use multimeters to troubleshoot their brake lights. The harbour freight coupon special is great for that

There was a software engineer at the same company who would always walk around barefoot, and I was constantly sweeping splinters off the floor from all the pallets. It's miraculous that he was never injured.

...seriously though who picks a fight with an excavator

quote:

The machine used in the incident was a Komatsu D355A bulldozer fitted with makeshift armor plating covering the cabin, engine and parts of the tracks. In places this armor was over 1 foot (30 cm) thick, consisting of 5000-psi Quikrete concrete mix sandwiched between sheets of tool steel (acquired from an automotive dealer in Denver), to make ad-hoc composite armor. This made the machine impervious to small arms fire and resistant to explosives: indeed three external explosions and more than 200 rounds of ammunition fired at the bulldozer had no effect on it.

Thank you for posting this. I probably could have found it if I'd ever overcome the but I'm glad you put that up.

People I know sometimes insist we have as many guns (sometimes they include "per capita") here in as you do in the USA.

How do they count guns in the USA? Other countries have registries, but my impression of the NRA is that they'd never let a government database of gun ownership happen.
Has anyone taken the fairly obvious step of using the NRA's membership registry?

As a firearm coach this stuff drives me up the wall.

It's always the same thing. Take girlfriend/friend shooting for the first time, don't show them how to shoot *giggle* here a massive firearm, don't worry it won't kick... BOOM *LOL* weapon goes flying possibly killing someone, person never fires a weapon again, is afraid of guns for life, never touches a firearm again.

People are assholes, and its no wonder there are so many firearms accidents. I'm glad in Canada we are forced to take classes and tests even if just to piss off people who think safety is for stupid people.

I just cut cardboard to make model train buildings with my laser, but by upgrading to 80w from 40w people seem to think it will be able to cut thin metal and poo poo.

The most OSHA thing we ever did to it was disable the safety interlocks and stick our fingers in to try to laser cut designed on our finger nails. DIdn't work. Power level needed to etch finger nail was also hot enough to give a burn under your nail, not pleasant.

Some dude gave himself a burn tattoo with a laser though, not ours.

Some guy where I work is overzealous with tagging stuff out. I was laughing when I saw a bicycle with a missing wheel that he tagged out. Following procedure to the letter like that is kind of funny. I'm struggling to imagine someone attempting to operate a bicycle with a missing wheel and injuring themselves in the process.

Today I saw this on a small stool ladder. damage wheels The tiny 1" wheels on the side so you can roll the ladder instead of carrying it were worn to the metal rims, so he tagged the ladder out.

Today I saw a truck from a company that, according to their site, sells OSHA-related gear such as fire extinguishers, teaches workers about safety, and so on.

Their biggest mystery to me is their logo.

For the US military, it's because senior leaders are notoriously out of touch with what training requires and want to be seen as good leaders by making their people do things the hard way, especially when it comes to combat LARPing "training like you fight", doubly so for units that typically do not do the fighting.

In the field you call get away with ignoring that bullshit once you're outta sight, and in the interest of actual troop safety, most team leaders that aren't broken will disregard stupid directives.

There was a dude I knew back from basic training who insisted that tear gas wouldn't effect him, then during the gas house he went from from to in a few minutes. It always cheers me up.
