Nenonen posted:Cool, thanks for the explanation. I didn't know there was a difference. Amazingly, even though "nuclear" is in the name, an MRI exposes you to zero radiation. A CAT scan, on the other hand, exposes you to between 2 and 16 mSv of radiation. A chest x-ray; 0.2 mSv. That means a CAT scan is 10x more radiation than a chest x-ray. PET/CAT is usually in the 25 mSv.

Jerry Cotton posted:Oh dear I wonder why no-one stopped me and every one else at the fort from doing it literally several times a day every day when I was in the service? Maybe because they wanted me to be able to see my barrel was clean? I just don't know any more See also the discharge cans near every barracks door. How often do those get hit with a ND from an "empty" firearm?

From the name it looks like this particular one used to be stationed in my neck of the woods https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodwin_Sands They also regularly were struck by ships who set their autopilots to aim at the light ship, then fell asleep.

Icon Of Sin posted:So I was a research subject for a study to see the narcotic effects of CO2, in addition to the “OH gently caress I NEED TO LEAVE RIGHT AWAY” effect. It was for the navy, they wanted to study diving rebreather failure at ~180ft down, which would put an excess amount of CO2 into your breathing loop at ~7 atmospheres down. I think it works out to a couple thousand times what’s in the atmosphere right now? They also studied the narcotic effects of N2 and O2 at the same depths, and found that all 3 of those gasses act on the same cellular pathway for their narcotic effects (which were “debilitating”, and caused “incapacitating narcosis”). Fun times You should have heard the stories from guys I know in the NEDU. Crazy poo poo the Navy tried... And tries.

Sure, it's not spinning that fast, but he'd be hosed if it gets caught. Gives me shivers, especially with how cavalier he is about the whole thing.

VictualSquid posted:Judging from all those cubes lying around the site, they are planning on loading dozens of cubes and have probably already loaded dozens. All without planning any way to make loading easier. Or having adequate capacity trucks/machines... Watching the bucket get jammed back when the excavator pushes on the block makes the little hydraulic mechanic in my brain tingle. Nothing like driving hydraulic fluid back through the pressure relief valve while at full throttle on other functions.

shovelbum posted:edit: anyone have a hard hat brand preference? I have always worn full brim hard hats and some places it seems to be seen as exotic which I find hilarious. I'm a big fan of full-brim, it helps keep the sun/rain off your neck.  different strokes, I guess.We ran the MSA V-Guard. Plastic, relatively cheap, and I never had one break. I've replaced the suspension when it gets mangled, and upgraded to a better sweat band, but other than that, it's 10-ish years old and aside from stickers and dirt, it's fine. I prefer the Fas-Trac suspension and the terry sweat bands.

jetz0r posted:I do mostly indoor work and ditched my full brim for one of petzl's climbing style helmets. The brim kept knocking into things and blocking my view. Definitely keeping the full brim hard hat around for when I'm outside in the sun, though. shovelbum posted:Yeah the V-Guard with the Fas-Trac was what we had at the job where all the PPE was really nice (everything else was meh at best and we had to wear denim jeans like animals all summer but man there were nice hard hats and gloves and stuff). I just bought a new one for myself because none of the jobs I go on these days provide anything consistently nice. I had a Bullard full brim in chocolate brown that I liked but no one really sells those because who wants a brown hard hat that isn't a heat-resistant one. Sex Skeleton posted:Plastic begins to lose its suppleness after years of UV exposure. It would be very surprising if your hard hat still protects your head as well as a new one.

So... they changed the rules. Requisite chinstraps and no brims. :smh: Back on topic: Osha-chat  Yes, that's a dude using a pizza box with a hole in the middle on his hard hat as a sun shade. \/\/ Everyone. Deck crew, scientists, etc. The ships that I was on had a zero tolerance policy for safety violations. Steel toe boots, safety glasses, life jacket, and hard hat at all times on deck. No exceptions. TBH, it was a great culture, and we did months of work with no incidents. We were given plenty of time to figure out safety procedures as things changed. sharkytm fucked around with this message at 03:18 on Nov 5, 2019 |

It's like the suit jacketed acetylene tank at my local welding supply shop. They don't put a suit jacket on it, it just looks like a suit jacket because it peeled open when the tank failed. I'll have to get a picture the next time I'm there. There's a sign on it that says "This is why your tank must be within inspection date."
