I typed "repair FRP" into YouTube and this was the very first hit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UMKbOQn3k4 Sandals, no PPE to speak of, straight huffing a visible plume of microscopic glass shards into the lungs with a psychedelic 70's jam band going. I looked it up, and OSHA says fiberglass dust is much less bad as asbestos: https://www.safetymanualosha.com/is-fiberglass-a-health-hazard/ quote:Because fiberglass breaks across the fiber to form tiny fragments, the tissue response is very different when these particles are inhaled. When fiberglass fragments are inhaled and deposited in the small air sacs of the lung, the alveoli do not close up and trap the particles. The particles are expelled from the alveoli and there is a rapid clearance of fiberglass dust particles from the lungs. Carry on then!

You had to go to Home Depot and buy ABS (an acronym for All Black Stuff, I was told, because HD sold the ABS pipe in black instead of the white PVC). I haven't seen the Home Depots carry ABS pipe in decades though.

PhazonLink posted:that anti homless people sleeping on benches thing seems rather inoffensive compared to other stuff. Is that anti-homeless design though? There's no dividers in the middle and if a single person slept on it, it seems like it could be twice as comfy as a normal bench, what with the gentle rocking.

Sagebrush posted:Impossible. There is no technology on the planet that can stop a blade like that dead in microseconds without damaging or destroying some part of the system. It's like saying "maybe someday they'll invent an airbag that can just be deflated and reused instead of having to be totally replaced." Yeah the airbag analogy is especially appropriate because it uses the same kind of pyrotechnic to stop the blade. If you tried to preserve the blade by dropping it downwards at pyrotechnic speeds, it would probably break apart and turn the sawblade into a weapon from Unreal Tournament.

You goons are gonna love this poo poo. I had a new painter referred to me yesterday. He says "hey, these floors are all messed up, we can sand and varnish them for you for $1000". Sounds good I say. I come back when they're done, and I see they have an industrial floor sanding machine that is 220v. Except, I know for a fact there are no 220v outlets in the entire building. "Did you run an extension to a portable generator or something?" He says no, he ran an extension 300ft to the basement. "But the basement doesn't have 220v either". He says yeah, I have a special cable. I had to go check this out:   I am in awe of how dangerous, illegal, and dangerously illegal that was.

They sell those on Amazon for charging your car and rubbing your dryer and it's even slightly better build quality than that thing. I actually did tell him about that, though we'd need to ask a neighbor in another apt. My apartment has one single 15a breaker for the ENTIRE apartment. It's only 500sqft but still, I need to see how much it would be to have it upgraded, running wiring through a 120yr old brick complex.

When I was in the military any liquid besides water had an MSDS attached to the container. That's where I learned that Simple Green detergent is like super-safe, you can get it in your eyes, you can sip some, pretty much anything: https://cdn.simplegreen.com/downloads/SDS_EN-US_SimpleGreenAllPurposeCleaner.pdf Also dirt cheap at Home Depot. Nice if you want to give it to kids to clean the house with and not worry about toxicity. edit: And reading that MSDS more closely I now learned the weird fragrance it has is sassafras.

CRUSTY MINGE posted:I'd like to know how it propels itself. If it's electric, what's the presumed range? Can it drive itself to a charger or would I need to hitch mount a genset to my car and run a drop cord? Does it run off a Yaris engine and fuel tank? On top of every one of those concerns, the weight distribution of trailers tends to assume some will be on the axle and some on the tongue, but that hitch thing even with a motor in it wouldn't have enough weight on it or stability during an emergency braking situation. Sigma posted:It would be even easier to send data to the mini trailer with some sort of wire, cable, or hitch Yeah, cars with drive-by-wire can update their wheel RPM, angle, traction etc. thousands of times per second. It would be nice if there was a standard that would let you pick another vehicle to convoy with, like if your friends and you were taking multiple cars somewhere. Whenever I drive down the highway in an electric car I'm always thinking "it would be dope if there was some standard that would let me reliably tailgate that 18-wheeler for the next 100 miles", because it would use essentially no electricity at all while traveling in their slipstream from a few feet away. Probably not in my lifetime since 18-wheelers seem to have some cloaking technology that makes Teslas keep slamming into them. Zero VGS fucked around with this message at 01:20 on Sep 20, 2022 |

Toupee Groupie posted:I am not a metallurgist, but I take it that this is not rebar you would really want to use, due to the cheap methods used to manufacture it? I can't imagine that this is pure iron. At the end they put labels on them that say "G-40-60", which I believe means they tested the tensile strength yield to be between Grade 40ksi and 60ksi. I think if they mix all of it in a big enough vat and use a testing machine to yank on bars of the finished product they should be able to get in that range enough. But I'm not a pro either, just a guess. To slap them into rebar in whatever county they're in is probably "good enough", it's not like they're claiming aerospace grade or something.

BrianRx posted:Oof, this brought back a memory I buried. Some guys at work were unloading ewaste from a box truck and a fully loaded server rack about that size started rolling off the lift. One of the guys instinctively moved to stop or catch it and got squashed between it and the burning hot summer pavement. Luckily (for him at that point, anyway) it fell on the lower half of his body and broke his legs rather than crushing any organs so he survived. His backside was covered in 3rd degree burns (some under his clothes) because of the time he was in contact with the pavement. Instinctively moved to stop/catch a server rack? What the hell instinct is that, because it's not a survival instinct. One time a buddy and me had to move like a $100k server rack for our job and it slipped so we both noped out of the way to bail and watched it go down a steel staircase and warp every step on the way down. Our instinct was to look around to make sure no one saw, then we finished moving it and slotted it into the datacenter and no one was the wiser. Military grade, EMP-hardened radio equipment is pretty drat resilient!

Here's an OSHA question, does anyone know of a steel or composite safety toe insert or add-on for boots that won't make me look too dorky or like a cyborg? I got a second pair of some boots I like off eBay but I didn't catch that it's an identical model but without the steel toe my current pair has. I'm seeing stuff like this that's listed as an "insert" but clearly goes on the outside: https://www.ebay.com/itm/175394793248 Something like that in an actual insert form would be nice. I wouldn't be adverse to some DIY trick like peeling off the rubber on those, if I could know for a fact they'd fit inside afterwards.
