Pyroclastic posted:I'm not sure what's worse. Drowning in a lake of poo poo, or drowning(?) in a scalding hot spring. One's about as gross as you can get, the other has to be utterly agonizing. And NPR had just done an interview with a few Park Rangers who were worried something exactly like this was going to happen due to people's new obsession with taking selfies with bears/moose/hot scalding lakes of water. The Rangers were saying that lately they are spending more time keeping animals safe from people now and not the other way around. quote:Four guys recorded in this YouTube video walked off of the boardwalk at Yellowstone's Grand Prismatic Spring, the largest hot spring in the U.S., to pose for pictures at the edge of the water. They run a channel on YouTube called High on Life where pictures like this are the norm. Part of their stick, if you will, is they took photographs of the warning signs and were literally ridiculing the warning signs. So they got it, they understood, but they willfully chose to ignore.

Thanks, I knew they used saws and other things from helicopters, but did not expect the saw to be that large or used so close to transmission lines.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:Two inches? Try more than 3 feet in the closest states. The entire southern 50 will be covered by ash to some extent as well as large chunks of Canada and Mexico, plunging pretty much most of the continent into the equivalent of nuclear winter. Huh the one natural disaster that Miami would not be affected by. Of corse by the time Yellowstone goes, Miami would most likely be underwater completely like a modern day Atlantis.

May not be strictly OSHA, but could see it leading to unsafe shenanigans.

Houston, like Phoenix, is one of those cities that was built by the hubris of man to defy to laws of nature. Houston will prepare you Sous Vide style while Phoenix will just turn you into jerky.

For some reason the contractor had already dumped like truckloads of loose gravel all over the road they were supposed to be resurfacing which is already horrible in torrential rain, then by Wednesday morning there was tar all over the place. There's still tar on the roads in town. So standard lowest bidder Texan road paving/repair/construction as usual?  One day mopac will be done, one day.
