gently caress I just remembered that thread where a goon kept finding blood on the bike pump surrounded by bloody q-tips and the thread joked that his brother was shoving them up his dick. Then it turned out this was actually the case and said good had to have a very awkward conversation with his little brother. Practice sanitary and safe sounding, OSHA thread.

Blue Moonlight posted:I don’t know, that just makes doing drugs at work look cool as gently caress. I actually did drugs at work once - I was having kidney trouble at the time and had to go to hospital because I though I had a ruptured kidney. I ended up getting a huge dose oral morphine and sent on my way when they worked out it was a muscle spasm due to my electrolytes being all hosed up. So I wander into my lab job 3 hours late with a huge grin on my face, clearly off my tits and insisting I'm fine now. My bosses couldn't reason with me so I got sent to clean the labs in an opiod infused haze for 5 hours until hometime. That lab was goddamn spotless by the end, I tell you.

Thomamelas posted:Kinda. Halon 1301 when exposed to a metal fire will start producing some nasty bi-products like HF. So it's not recommended for those. In more normal fires it's safe to breath but it can cause giddiness and impair thinking. But it won't give you cancer directly. But it is a CFC so when exposed to UV light tends to have long term negative effects on the ozone layer which can cause health issues. That's why it's not generally used any more. Fun fact: the guy who invented CFCs would inhale a load and then use it to blow out a candle to show it was nontoxic and could put out fires. As he was *also* the guy who invented tetraethyl lead he would pour that poo poo all over his hands to show it was fine, then wash it all off as soon as humanly possibly because he knew exactly how bad it was.

I hated using the touchscreen to change radio stations in the ute while driving, trying to control anything important with one would be a nightmare let alone doing it while being shot into loving space. Postmortem analysis of the ashes shows the pilot had consumed a cannabis brownie within 2 weeks of launch and this intoxication was the probable cause of the crash

The Falcon 9 has run the entirety of it's launch sequence in a closed loop mode for years. I'm reminded of the Space Shuttle having a return to base abort mode at launch (basically the shuttle does a loop de loop immediately after launch) and when asked about trying it out the test pilot responded with "We don't need to practice Russian roulette."

You can also sell your TotallyNotATrain to local authorities more easily because you can hype up the ability and lowball the cost, while people in general know how much a train costs The big challenge is getting another TotallyNotATrain build after the first but that's a problem for future you

Dry ice is CO2 though, so its not just an oxygen displacer? Also I dispute that claim by the manufacturer - I worked in a lab that had -70 degrees dry ice freezers, and I picked up a metal rack from a freezer wearing PPE gloves and held it against my chest to balance. Unfortunately, I had nipple piercing at the time, and it turns out even through a lab coat a metal piercing drops temperature pretty quickly...

Don't know about the Japan thing but on the New York Central railway, when they introduced their Niagara locomotives they were run on a 6 days on, 1 day off pattern. This meant that the firebox never fully cooled down, but being a steam locomotive still needs to be cleaned out due to ash buildup. The solution? Send dudes in asbestos suits to climb in though the firebox door and clean out the firebox from the inside while it's still red hot.

If I recall, they survived but were badly hurt. Despite screeching like loving mad around curves due to the lack of a differential, I kept my head on a swivel for those fuckers. Low engine noise since they were electric-powered. I've nearly been knocked off my bicycle twice by Prius' sneaking up on me on me in milk float mode

I think the most of impressive bodging feat of WWII was what happened to USS New Orleans, which got the front 1/4 of the ship blown off by a Japanese torpedo in the battle of Tassafaronga. Not only did the ship not sink, the crew managed to get the ship to harbour, rig up a temporary bow of coconut logs, sail backwards all the way to Australia at 2 knots, get a sturdier fake bow fitted and then sail backwards again all the way across the Pacific to Puget Sound. The most OSHA thread event was probably Japanese aircraft carrier Taiho, which took a hit that cracked her aviation gas tanks and started filling the ship with gasoline vapour. This was obviously a problem so the damage control teams open up all the vents to get fresh air...which turned the atmosphere of the ship into the perfect ratio for a fuel air bomb, leading to the ship to explode and sink 6 1/2 hours later.

GD_American posted:Much like the Marines' "everyone is a rifleman first" ethos, the US Navy's belief is "you want to keep where you sleep afloat and not on fire, right?" Ironically one of the main issues on the USS Forrestal fire was that the US Navy went from everyone being trained on damage control to it being a specialised job, just like the IJN did in WWII. This posed a problem when a secondary explosion during the fire killed basically every trained firefighter on the ship.
