Smiling Jack posted:Video evidence is weird. You almost always either need an admission "yeah that's me in the video", a witness "yes, I was there and I did a formal, court-approved identification procedure and that's him in the video" or absolutely picture-perfect quality where a jury is sure that's the defendant in the video and other independent evidence that the act took place. I was on a jury for a murder trial last year that involved a lot of neighborhood surveillance cameras and cop bodycam footage. The surveillance camera footage was several hours-long videos with only a few minutes of each that were relevant (the rest just boring neighborhood stuff) and the bodycam footage had only a few minutes that we were allowed to watch*. In order for it to be reviewed in the jury room they had to bring in the DVDs and a bailiff to stop and start the DVD player at the right times. Someone on the jury asked the judge if there was a better way to handle this, and apparently editing everything down to the few minutes of admissible video wasn't an option since the DVDs were burned from the cameras using approved software so they were the only official copy that could be used. *Turns out the reason that only a few minutes of the bodycams were admissible is because most of the rest consisted of a shitload of bystanders telling the police "it was [defendent], I see him around here all of the time and he is definitely the one who shot up the neighborhood and murdered that guy," but they all refused to come in to court.

Lord Stimperor posted:In regards to captains calling their crew pussies, here's a helicopter doing something good with toxic pilot masculinity: I think this is the standard way for helicopters to deliver people to and from steep slopes. Google "helicopter toe in", or don't if helicopters make you nervous. That particular slope is on the steeper side of what is usually done though. I'm told the trickiest part is not the actual landing, but that the pilot needs to immediately compensate for weight and balance changes as people hop in and out and move gear in and out, and there isn't much room for error. edit: Though obviously if walking up to that spot from somewhere flatter is at all possible then that is preferable. withak fucked around with this message at 17:42 on Dec 26, 2020 |

Megillah Gorilla posted:It's that time of week again. At the end of his bunker video he mentions that he got retroactive planning permission, which probably means he built it and then dared the local agency to make him tear it down. I am literally a professional licensed deep-hole-worrier-abouter and this isn't nearly as bad as it looks. Based on the little bit of actual digging work they show here and in the bunker videos his house is on reasonably good rock a few feet down (they had to use a hoe-ram to dig and shape much of the hole for the bunker). I've seen scarier-looking excavation faces in actual professional excavation and tunneling jobs. I'm pretty sure these are being shot and edited to make it look more dangerous than it is, and to make the digging look a lot easier than it really is. I would probably be more worried about standing under those plastic tubs full of rock during the hoist operation than stability of the excavation. Still have to see what he does for overhead support when they start mining the actual tunnel though, that will be a lot more questionable than the sides of this shaft. withak fucked around with this message at 19:20 on Jul 2, 2021 |

Elendil004 posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIe5GKyLPek This is a totally reasonable tunneling operation (aside notable absence of PPE), and his initial support looks pretty over-engineered to me. I would be way more worried about the janky plastic tubs being hoisted overhead to dispose of the spoil. He is also going to want some ventilation before he goes farther. The Wiggly Wizard posted:Even if he can pump water as it floods, there's still going to be rain leaching through the soil and making prolonged contact on that plating. The clay layer looks fairly saturated already. I wonder if he's thought this through! I think he mentions in the bunker video that he is up on a hill and groundwater is very deep so he's not worried about flooding. It sounds like all this welded steel is temporary support and he plans on building a steel plate lining encased in concrete later. Like the bunker, I'm pretty sure he is getting some kind of informal geo/civil engineering advice off-camera and this whole thing is being shot and edited to make it look a lot more improvised than it really is.

wesleywillis posted:Ok science goons. how the gently caress does that work? The amount of time away from oxygen is probably what matters, not the speed of the lid placement per se. The quicker first attempts don't allow time for all of the oxygen to be consumed. The last attempt takes longer (including the time he takes sliding the lid on and off) so the fire is actually smothered completely. Moral of the story is just put the lid on and keep it there for a bit.

I suppose slamming the lid down quickly on a shallow pan could spatter flaming oil, so covering it carefully is probably better.
