Please don't do any wiring in your own homes, just don't. I don't know if it's different in the good ol' "Land of the Free" but it's illegal in Australia for good reasons

That gives me flashbacks. Styro plants are not fun places to work (at the least, the one I spent time at back in the early nineties wasn't). I did plenty of factory work when I was younger, and if you could get into the headspace of "you're here solely because you're slightly cheaper than the machine that can do the same work", and let your mind wander, it wasn't so bad.

But the styro place was something else. Razor-thin staffing (I worked nights), and enough stuff happening with the machines that you had to be *focused* on the work, the whole time. And the moulded stuff is sopping with water when it comes out the machines. 12-hour shifts, running up and down a plant-floor, getting soaking wet while martialing stacks of styro boxes about the place. And you better keep up, because those fuckers didn't wait for no man - nothing like looking down the other end of the floor and seeing a line of shite snaking into the wall and backing up into the machine (they came out taped into stacks).

Sifting through rotten farm produce looking for the not-too-rotten stuff to re-pack? Whatever. My time roofing? Often enjoyable, for all the cuts, burns, and a couple of bad falls. Cosmetics factories? There were people to talk to, at least.

But the styro place? *gently caress* that place. gently caress it forever.

*ahem*

Solidarity brother, worked the line for a few months for peanuts. Loud as gently caress too, so you just had no way to talk to anyone. And, the machines didn't stop so everyone had staggered 10 minute breaks. You basically did the whole drudgery shift alone.

Started driving the forklift whenever the hired driver wasn't around and they figured I could do that job better.

There's nothing magical about 3 phase power, it's just 3 normal wires, but instead of going from active to neutral, you go from one active phase to another, and you end up with a higher potential V. 440V would definitely hurt, and have the potential to kill you if the current disrupted your heart rhythm or burnt some important flesh or organ, but it's not mechanically different to a 110V line.

starkebn: May 18, 2004; "Oooh, got a little too serious. You okay there, little buddy?"

eh, I've met people who've been hit by 50kV and survived, it all depends

I'm sure he wouldn't recommend it to others though. All I'm trying to point out is that '3-phase' power isn't some sort of extra-killy electricity that some people here seem to think.

spankmeister posted:

One more: Three phase supplies are more dangerous because the voltage between two phases is higher than between a single phase and neutral (208v vs 120v in US) and thus will deliver more current into your dumb rear end

Yes, if you touch phase to phase. If you just grab one wire of :frogsiren:

3 phase electricity :frogsiren:

and it earths through you, then you're just getting 110v in the US. I can tell you already know that, just clearing it up for the listeners.

I used to "powernap" during my morning break at work, like 15 mins. Usually someone would wake me up when it was time to get back to work. One day, when it had been raining heavily all week, I overslept because they had an emergency meeting while I was napping and sent everyone home before the flood waters blocked all the roads home. So when I woke up about 1 in the afternoon my car was the only one left in the car park out of about 200 cars that usually parked there. Good thing the culture the was pretty laid back because security weren't too worried that I was wandering out of the giant workshop hours after everyone else had vacated.

The roads also thankfully weren't flooded yet.

Yeah I was pretty surprised when she was telling me. I sort of see the logic from the insurance angle though. A theft is a specific sort of claim and assumed specific sort of risks. But if your teenage son who sometimes drives the family car smashes it up you can't just declare it stolen because on that particular night you didn't give him permission. I forget all the specific terms, but if you live with someone and they gently caress up your car there's still absolutely insurance coverage for that, but it's not treated specifically as "theft" when a member of the household took it.

pretty shady to consider a housemate "a member of the household" in that sort of circumstance

Mylars pretty tough, it would need a flaw you'd probably spot when you put it on the scope. If it got a simple tear I'm guessing it would probably be defused/defocused enough that you'd get away without eye damage... if the torn bit flapped off or away from the scope though you would be in trouble.

Bolded bit... why is that?

if they use pvc instead of copper in parts of the plumbing

I once helped a guy who got a butchers knife up to the hilt through his eye after blowing something up in his shed. Saw him getting around, with difficulty, a few months later, so the brain can take some punishment.
