More to the point, why doesn't every car come with a small solar panel on the roof to charge the battery and maybe run a fan?

VectorSigma posted:what if, like, they made the whole car run on the battery Or a secondary battery for operating lights, radio, etc for when the engine is off. Or maybe a crank dynamo so that you could (very slowly) charge a dead battery enough to start the engine. Megillah Gorilla fucked around with this message at 16:07 on Feb 23, 2016 |

Three-Phase posted:I've got a tankless at work that is skin-blisteringly hot. I'm pretty sure it's more like 175F. We have a tap that comes out at 75°C in the maintenance closet, which is about the same temp as yours. No one really knows why it's there, but our unofficial official use for it is for terrifyingly hot mop water. However, some people have been known to use it to make their coffee when they're too lazy to wait for the kettle to boil. We call it "mop coffee".

I will always admire the sheer brave stupidity of the two guys with the orange mat who have just seen this 220kg tyre travelling at half light speed annihilate everything in its path and yet STILL decide to try and stop it.

What I don't understand is why a net at all. The waterslide strapped patrons into a big inflatable raft. It was more like a Disney log ride than a waterslide. So - why not make it so that the raft cannot lift up? Put some guy wires from it to the walls of the slide so it can still move about but can't fly up high enough to take a kid's head off. The raft they used with 3 point safety harness visible:  Slide in action:  I'm guessing the raft lifted up enough that the kid got the "safety net" support under his chin, which then pressed his neck against his seat. His seatbelt held him in place and the forward motion did the rest. God, imagine being the poor bastard sitting behind him when it happened.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:The 3-point restraining belts were held in place with velcro. Other people who had been riding the slide that day reported that the belts were broken and had been popping open during the ride. Velcro? I can honestly say that the possibility a safety harness was held in place with velcro never occurred to me

Effective-Disorder posted:My Pop's a Lineman, and he's always dealing with pesky hunters hunting insulators. Wasn't it Mel Brooks who got a medal in WWII doing that? I think the story goes that he and his squad were returning from a boring, uneventful patrol and decided to have a little fun betting on who could shoot the most insulators off the power lines. When they eventually go back to base, they were called in front of some officer who asked them if they had encountered any enemy activity because evil German snipers had knocked out their power. Oops. They also needed some brave men to escort combat engineers out into the field, crawling with snipers as it was, and protect them as they replaced the insulators. Naturally, Brooks' team volunteered because they knew the only people out there shooting power lines was them. So off they all went and even got a medal for bravery out of it.

"Well we've never needed handrails around the top of the silo, the guys just know to be careful when they're up there in all weather with no tie-on points." Yep, checks out. If no accidents have happened yet, there's no point in putting in safety features

Good move on finally making the decision to get the hell away from there. I've worked for people who did not give the slightest gently caress about my safety (but thankfully nothing as bad as driving around an airport at night with no lights) and it's a horrible experience I will never repeat. Telling someone to their face, "If I have to keep doing this I. Will. Die." and watching them not care in the slightest and just walk off without a word like I was nothing is sobering to say the least.
