I think my left leg was getting deformed like a fiddler crab. I wish I had a timer just to keep track of how many hours I held down the clutch in the cars I used to drive. i feel you bro, did the same thing in LA and after years finally gave it up and went automatic.

Mustached Demon posted:For most people, fascination with HF should start with fastening a good pair of running shoes to one's feet. Then it's advisable to leave the vicinity of the HF. I used to work at this inorganic chemistry R&D/manufacturing place that didn't have awful OSHA, but didn't have the best either. To wit, some of the R&D people got sick from a zinc vapor release in the lab. poo poo happens, and it doesn't happen all the time, but those Ph.D.'s should have known better. Fast forward a couple of years to the discovery of a new compound and the desire to synthesize such on an industrial scale. The ops people and the CTO were pushing a HF-based synthesis process. I was pretty horrified and didn't want to be anywhere near there, as I value my sense of smell and life. When I had an opportunity to volunteer to get laid off shortly thereafter, I ran, not walked, out of there. I have no idea if they ever went down the HF path but my friends from there are all still alive and able to smell, so I guess they are doing OSHA!

`Nemesis posted:Most seat belt tickets are like $25 to $50, and you can't even be pulled over for it as a primary offense in 15 states. The problem with making it a primary offense has nothing to do with safety. It's that you've given the cops a pretext for pulling over any driver at any time. in America, guess who they pull over for that? Hint: it's not white people.

Ornamental Dingbat posted:In truckfuckling-adjacent news, this week one of our Ohio drivers saw one of our trailers being pulled by a random owner-operator and called it in- turns out that last week it was stolen from Amazon in Baltimore (Happy Prime day!!!)- he called it in to us and I let the owner of the company know. He instructed the driver to try to safely keep up with him and call the police. This is the kind of law enforcement one expects in the first world. Oh wait...

Sirotan posted:He was getting ready to remove all the spent grains from the mash tun (you can see the giant rake to the right of him), because at this stage all of the liquid has been drained off and transferred to your kettle for boiling. But someone hosed up. Dude is super lucky he didn't get horrifically burned. He definitely is. I'm a homebrewer and I've done some brewing with pros for fun, on a system sized just like this. What baffles me is how he didn't burn his hand to poo poo touching that stainless steel door while he was opening it up. The mash is going to be at least 150 F and that stainless will get hot accordingly.

I just crawled around the car and in between the front and back seat in the late '60s and the '70s like a normal kid. we had a Dodge Monaco station wagon when I was a kid that had a space between the back seat and the rear facing back back seat. It was cool to lie down in there and take a nap or just kind of sit in there. Bacon Taco fucked around with this message at 20:30 on Sep 28, 2019 |

Dr.Smasher posted:There's also the part where the screw anchors they used in stone are the wrong type, and technically illegal. This means that in theory, large sections of concrete have to be torn out and replaced. You get to a certain point with screwed up projects of any kind, whether they're construction or not, where it's easier just to blow them up and start from scratch. BER was there years ago. This is a similar issue to projects that are just over budget, when people decide they'll redesign to "save money. It's one thing to have been counters try to get you to change projects that are engineered perfectly well in midstream, just because they're over budget, and that inevitably ends up costing more than just building the thing you planned to build in the first place. The difficult thing here is whether the ultimate decision maker has enough experience and wisdom to know when to keep going and when to stop. Clearly the people in charge of BER had neither experience nor wisdom. Bacon Taco fucked around with this message at 20:30 on Sep 28, 2019 |

netwerk23 posted:It looks like they are jumping over a wall, into a pool. Look at the frames just as he goes over and it looks like a splash. I see your point. It looked to me like the flames flared up some, but I could also see that being a splash. Maybe they could have poured some of the copious amounts of booze on that table onto the flames to put them out?

Rahul posted:I dunno if it quite counts as OSHA, but it made me do a double-take when I came across this today. You know, I always thought it was a myth, but maybe water really does flow backwards here down under. Maybe there's an expandable bladder in there that gets filled and emptied, and its top surface is anchored to the top of the tank structure. I'm just grasping at straws here.

Phanatic posted:All that because someone didn't back with his lift. Yeah, even the rudimentary training I got in forklift driving when I was 18 that one summer I worked at the paper mill emphasized that you _always_ back up the forklift. If you didn't, you'd get disciplined. They didn't train us a lot, but they did train us, and there were consequences for doing unsafe stuff.
