`Nemesis posted:There was a mishap in the UK today at a power station being demolished. Sounds like the explosives went off early, 1 dead and 3 missing. Pity about the people who died, but god am I happy that eyesore is finally getting demolished. The power station absolutely dominates Didcot, to the point where announcements at the train station tell you to move "towards" or "away from" the power station.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:About 6 or 7 years ago some developers cleared a whole bunch of factories and built a massive amount of apartment buildings in my town. Then someone realised the ground was toxic as gently caress so they had to demolish and remove all the buildings and they then excavated the entire site (which was roughly an acre) and removed about 4 or 5m of dirt, treated everything that was left for several years and then refilled the site and built a whole bunch more apartment buildings. God knows where they took 5m x 1acre worth of toxic dirt. This just reminded me of decontamination efforts in Switzerland, in Kölliken. They apparently used to just dump toxic waste up until the mid-1980s, and they have now errected a giant structure above the old landfill while they unearth, sort and (more?) properly dispose the things in there. I'm having trouble finding a decent English source, but here is a video (in German) that doesn't need the sound, just showing the initial construction of the containment building they had to errect before they could start digging up the ground: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoLwUFakxJ8 Google also brought up these (rather few) slides, which at least have a diagram: https://clu-in.org/athens/download/Unique_Settings/Switzerland-Bernhard_Hammer.pdf

Carbon dioxide posted:Do you ever get a pic where you aren't sure if it should go in this thread or the Schadenfreude one? I presume that is the firefighting uniform, i.e. the thing they normally wear sans protective gear. As far as I know, the actual protective gear is something you can put over other things, which means you'd usually have t-shirt etc. underneath. If it's a hot day and obviously a non-dangerous situation (at least for him), why bake in the sun unnecessarily?

wolrah posted:Are these sorts of things pay-per-ride? If so I would definitely have felt like that family had wasted my money, but a few <insert currency here> isn't the sort of thing you assault someone over, especially a kid who's only vaguely related to the problem. The same guy who runs into peoples' spines because he is an impatient man-child would surely be completely relaxed and happy to wait for every single person to go down the whole track individually before they let the next person even enter at the top.

Arsenic Lupin posted:It's 7PM, they've predicted a snow storm for tomorrow, I'll just go out into the driveway and put on four snow tires, shall I? I am certain this would actually happen. The alternative is mandating that everybody buy snow tires, put them on in [say]December, and take them off in [say] April, which would be wildly unpopular in places that get snow for three or four days a year. As far as I know, winter tires do not just help with snow, but they use a different rubber mixture and tire profile, which means they perform better in colder temperatures, so even if you do not get any snow, they would probably still be a sensible investment if it gets cold at all where people live and drive. It probably doesn't help that many people call them "snow tires" rather than simply winter tires. After all, why would I need snow tires if it never snows?!

RandomPauI posted:Is there anything good online about the management failures? All I hear about are striking workers. I'm not sure how easy it is to find online, but the BBC had a programme called Das Auto - The Germans, Their Cars and Us a few years ago that looked a bit more closely at this, ostensibly driven by the question "Why do Brits now drive German cars, instead of British cars?". The documentary came in a wake of similar "Germany"-related topics pre-Brexit vote, which was a bit odd, but it was really rather interesting beyond just that point.
