Raveen posted:I went to Hawaii for geology field trip right after college graduation. Visited the Kilauea flows when it was barley active and grabbed samples like that. The heat was crazy and you had to move quick to get some with no protection. The best way I can describe feeling/texture of lava would be silly putty. Went late in the day and stayed till it got dark, very cool to see lava at night, but then you step over a small crack and you see an orange glow through it and it freaks you out a bit. I would say the biggest danger would be the gasses or the razor like lava rocks. Speaking of Kilauea, Big Island Video News are making regular updates on the current eruption. Here's their latest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcqScSOUiL8

I love to bring it up because I liked the show.

Bloody Hedgehog posted:Not even remotely. This is why they eventually got rid of them and spun them off into their own trainwreck of a show, because no one wanted to see their segments on Mythbusters. It has been a long time since I saw the show, so I may not remember it correctly, but I thought the early episodes with those were better than the later because they weren't made to ham things up. For example I recall a later episode where they dressed up as goats or something equally dumb.

I think they did it twice; first with a small boat which didn't support the myth, then later again with a medium sized fishing vessel where they said there might be something to it.

Remulak posted:I love this guy, purely and unironically. This is one of the few youtubes where I've found reading the comments section to be informative: quote:The man in this film Is Mr. Glen Roper. He worked on the Union Pacific railroad in many capacities over the years. He had done some stunt work in movies (I don't know which ones) and had also on occasion performed as a professional wrestler as the "Masked Marvel". I met Mr. Roper in Los Angeles when I went to inquire about employment on the U.P. and he was in the personnel office at that time (Oct.1973) and I hired out as a laborer in Maintenance of Way. In 1974 I went into engine service and Mr. Roper was giving the rules classes to us. He had worked in train service for many years. He was very knowledgeable of many aspects of railroading. Those old heads from that generation were a bunch of tough , hard working people. They were an interesting bunch and I was glad to have had the opportunity to learn from them. And welcome to the wonderful world of watching old work safety films!  To help the youtube algorithm inveigle you even further, may I suggest a short film about safely working on electrified rail tracks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmCak0HDD8o My own idea for how to safely work on electrified rails is don't work on electrified rails holy poo poo!!  , but people obviously had other ideas back then.

FogHelmut posted:Radiation, and also pure plutonium ignites in the presence of oxygen. Could be one or the other or both. Plutonium 238 in particular heats up from radiation. Wow that's amazing and scary at the same time. I wonder how they keep it safe in the bombs. e: Zudgemud posted:Radiation. They use this cool property of plutonium to make really long lasting compact and durable power sources for satellites too. Thanks!

It looks like someone tried converting a field gun into a swivelable siege artillery, but I'm curious if it actually worked. I'd guess the entire structure would collapse the first time the gun was fired, not to menton reloading seems to be very difficult. I'm guessing this was used during the American civil war, but do anyone have more info? I reverse image searched it but all I got was memes.

CommieGIR posted:What the hell IS this?! It's a device that's making me cry with laughter. Some semi-personal OSHA: I got a friend who's doing some microbiotics lab-work for his thesis, and his experiment has been giving him a lot of trouble so he's currently saddled with a lot of overtime. He did a little night time labwork over the weekend and noticed that someone had forgotten to turn off a lamp in an adjacent lab room. He goes to fiddle with the lamp to see if there's an off-switch, he can't find one so he shrugs and leaves it turned on. All of this took about a minute. The next day his eyes are itchy and he has a light sunburn in his face - the lamp turns out to be a very powerful UV light that is used to disinfect the lab, but it shouldn't have been set up like that or left on without some sort of warning sign on the door. He's fine now and there's being done a whole lot of safety report writing, but imagine if he had tried fiddling with it some more, or if someone else had gone to work in the lab without knowing about the lamp.

I think an argument against putting the tailings back is that it's an uneccesary cost, and since there's no legislation against just dumping it on open ground whilst laughing and twirling your moustache that's what people do.

Varkk posted:In a teaching lab they were used for shielding in radiation experiments. Some were used for studies of momentum and others was specific heat and thermal mass experiments. Any time you wanted to do something with a sense, heavy object. Being wrapped in paper probably helps with the health and safety aspect of handling lead. The physics department here has a synchrotron in the basement that I've been down to see a couple of times. They've got lead bricks like this all over the place to shield against radiation, the bricks are wrapped in some sort of clear plastic resin. But yeah its primary function is for health purposes as lead is toxic.
