Aramis posted:But whatever supports the grate has to keep it level as well, no? So that shouldn't be an issue. The grate, in my experience, is usually made from strips of steel turned sideways so they're thicker up and down than they are front to back. That way, the machine can cut into the grate a little bit without really worrying about it cutting all the way through the grate

Including up the stairs inside to get to his office. On the weekends he sometimes changes things up with his penny farthing. And, yes, he does of course use a studded winter tire on the ice. Does your partner work for Vivaldi? Because I either know this guy, or someone very much like him.

I saw that on Lake Michigan when I was living in Chicago. The wind would get a big piece of lake ice moving, and a piece of ice like that has a lot of momentum once it gets moving

Antigravitas posted:I swear I'm not trying to dunk on some tiny village in a country across the pond, but seriously what is wrong with that place. You are at 34°N, where are the solar panels? If you have AC running all the time it amortises basically instantly. You have to understand two things about rural Texas: they don't have the money to invest in solar infrastructure, and for some stupid reason solar power has become massively politicized and the people in power in Texas believe it's a terrible idea.

I admit I simplified the explanation for the German goon. I'm feeling very lazy and don't feel like doing the math, but I feel like solar power generation per unit area is a better metric. Rhode Island will never generate as much solar as Texas.

Petrol burns more easily than diesel, but you could flick lit matches into a bucket of petrol and it wouldn't ignite. There's nothing on your car that would have caused spilled petrol to ignite that wouldn't have caused it to ignite with the car off but still hot. Gasoline spilling into the storm drain is still a bad thing environmentally.

What PPE would you recommend in this situation, bearing in mind that gloves have a nasty tendency to get sucked into running machines? He tries to use an air gun to blow away the chips. I've used a paint brush for the same thing. A boring operation on a mill like that is a lot less risky than using an angle grinder. I'd feel better if his glasses had side shields, but again he's really not making anything that could go flying into his eyes

mycatscrimes posted:Worst case is surviving the crash but not escaping the plane. If I've learned anything from Air Disasters, it's that the plane naturally yearns to be on fire, and very little can stop it from being on fire once the systems are disrupted by a rough landing. And the fire is some of the most toxic poo poo available. On a modern airliner, the entire cabin has to be capable of being evacuated in under 90 seconds through only one half of the exits assuming nobody goes digging through the overhead bins for their carryon

I would've expected a console butted up to the window, maybe with rear facing cameras for blind spots Usually you'll have dudes standing out on the bridge wings with radios to help avoid expensive repairs. If that's the captain I think she is, I think her ship has Azipods as well as bow thrusters, so it can maneuver in a lot tighter spaces.

Based on what she's doing with those combinators though I'd agree she has some sort of Azimithual Thruster. Yeah, that's exactly the person I'm thinking of. And sorry about Helm. The fact that it's used for shipping containers (deploying containerized machine images) doesn't help the googlability much.

hawowanlawow posted:the video of the ship with the power going off and on before it hits the bridge makes it look like they were trying to shoot one gap and probably could have made it if it hadn't gone out again Unlikely. The channel is 16m deep, and outside of the channel is 8m deep. Dali's draught was 12m at the time. They might have been trying to ground themselves. Beats the hell out of taking out a bridge.

Humbug Scoolbus posted:. which is why the ship when it lost power and steerage looked like it was aiming to ground itself by heading outside the dredged center channel. (It's about 20' deep in the shallows). I've cooled on this theory a little bit. The person who runs the Casual Navigation YouTube channel pointed out that Dali turned to starboard around the time it was passing the entrance to the Curtis Bay channel, and the initial turn to starboard might have been bank effect. Once they regained power, I imagine the thick black smoke was the engines going crash astern. We'll know more once the NTSB finishes up with the VDR. One of the bulk carriers my last company worked with struck a jetty in Canada one day. I did some math on the forces involved, and to accelerate a ship of that size from 8 knots to 0ish in that short a period of time was equivalent to 10 or so 747s at full thrust.
