Crazy Ted posted:Crows are pretty incredible. My parents used to have a heated birdbath, and every winter crows would line the entire rim of the thing like they were having some kind of crow party. There were pennies at the bottom of it, and one by one each crow would dip its beak in, pick up a coin, flip it in the air, and watch it plop back down into the heated water. Apparently this was incredibly amusing to the crows because they'd all make noise for about five seconds after the penny fell back into the water. Crows own. I've seen random garden birds forming an orderly queue around the feeder and the larger ones waiting for the smaller ones to drop food as they're too big to get on the feeder themselves. This shows a level of planning and awareness not present in all humans for sure. Some OSHA from years ago, I had a part time job in a warehouse and one of the other guys carried a wooden table up two flights of stairs then rode it down like a sled. This made so much noise that the customers in the shop above didn't know what the gently caress. He tied a load of sweatshirts round is head though so did attempt ppe at least. I think we filmed it on one of the demo cameras as well. Also the warehouse manager would occasionally flip out and throw ladders at people. Fortunately not at me as I never pissed him off (that much).

Ak Gara posted:Someone never played OpenTTD. Don't know about openTTD but in the original transport tycoon trains were invincible vs any other land based transport so to win franchises on routes you could run train lines through your competitors roads and then use the shoddy pathing to trap their vehicles on the crossing so your trains would just blast throught and destroy them. Hundreds may have died but by God it was worth it to secure that minor passenger route for 1 year. Capitalism 1, passengers 0.

C.M. Kruger posted:http://antipodeanarmour.blogspot.com/p/centurion-tanks-in-korea-report-by-lt-j.html This whole thing is an entertaining read, for instance: quote:A few words on the effect of mines might not be amiss. A thing the size of a Hawkins grenade may crack a link but NOT necessarily immobilise the tk. 2O lbs of Mr.WU's picric acid will blow a track and a rd wheel if close to the surface. Mr. WU's normal practice appears to be 40 lbs of picric acid (2 box mines) up to two ft down. Half a sqn may go over it before it goes up, and its effect depends entirely on the ground. In one case it merely blew the bed rolls off, and the rations out of one bin. In another it took off two pair of rd wheels and three ft of track. quote:I once, as a tk OP (see Tac) got a little close to the receiving end of our own tk fire and 20 pr rounds arrive without the well known whine. They crack overhead like outsize bullets. In spite of my faith in the 20 pr and the gnrs of 8 KRIH thiss was a rather unsettling performance and is worth bearing in mind when supporting inf. Shelling your own troops is bad osha.

Jose posted:this is happening outside my window at work right now. didn't get it in time to show the unharnessed guy in the middle climbing to where he's perched Looks like standard scaffolder working practice to me. I saw a similar guy stop 3 floors up a half finished scaffold and lean back against the wall using the horizontal bar to brace his feet on while he texted as there was no boarding yet. Edit: I guarantee you they will gently caress that roof up as well but then again it has so much moss on it I guess it's being replaced anyway. In which case they'll gently caress it up when they taken the scaffolding down instead

Splode posted:Japan has an obsession with microvans and weird three wheeled scooters that aren't particularly popular anywhere else. I always thought that those were a French thing as you'd see old guys trying to get them up steep hills in rural France whilst transporting a load of chickens or something. I suspect there was some sort of tax dodge for using them like they didn't count as cars becauae that's usually how stuff like this gets started.

The old tiles on my roof were an asbestos concrete mix from the 80s and when I had some work done I had to pay a guy to come and do a full asbestos survey and he basically went "yeah I can tell just by looking that those are asbestos tiles because there's moss/no moss on them. Just don't grind them up and snort them and there's no problem". So that was £900 well spent.

BlankIsBeautiful posted:Concrete doesn't just cave in like that unless the underlying formation is removed. There's definitely some undermining going on, and I think just dumping buckets of concrete into it wouldn't be a really good option because it would just wash away. Now, the big question is, is the undermining due to a fault in the spillway, or is this water actually coming through the dam? Either way, if I lived downstream on the flood plain, I'd be just a tad loving nervous. I bet it's loving ants, those guys undermine like motherfuckers if they get under something. And they're practically communists.

Vanagoon posted:Half assed, indoor, pedestrian suspension bridge. Always a good idea. If they'd put a sleeve of box section with the necessary holes around the beam to support and distribute the load from the washers it would have avoided concentrating all the load into that welded joint which was weaker than a continuous piece. I mean, I know that welds can be as strong or in fact stronger than the equivalent continuous piece, but what are the chances that that was welded fully and tested for any cracks/voids when this was an on site change? Edit: otoh I was bad at statics and nearly failed finite element analysis so now i work with computers and post on the internet so dont take my word for it.

If the child had been 6 inches shorter then he wouldn't have been decapitated, therefore the 48 inch rule actively causes accidents much like seat belts and airframe parachutes do and the designers of the ride are visionaries.

Phanatic posted:200 milliroentgens is a pretty small amount of exposure. For the kind of radiation he was exposed to that's about 200 millirem, or 2 millisieverts. 4 mSv is about a year's worth of background exposure for most people. The occupational one-year dose limit for radiation workers is 50 mSv, and the lowest dose actually linked to any increase in cancer risk is about double that. Do you think the unquantified additional exposure he states ("I wasn't allowed to see the radiation film badges as they were classified") or perhaps this: Are You loving Kidding Me posted:My next two missions were H-bomb tests over Bikini Atoll. On the second, the bomb exceeded its predicted yield by a significant amount, breaking my airplane’s right wing spar in two places. On the plus side, this provided the test engineers with the maximum possible data and negated the need for more testing. Could maybe point to a guy that regularly flew over nuclear blasts just perhaps having a strong causal link with a cancer linked to exposure to high levels of UV and or other types of radiation? I mean I suppose it could have been melanoma on his rear end and be irrelevant...
