Shut up Meg posted:A Unipart oil filter: Boom, I got it. Hook up a tube to each side of the jet engine. One to get positive pressure, and one to get negative pressure, then valve those two tubes into one tube via a spinning disc and some check valves, so that the single tube is either sucking or blowing. There's your new ventilator. In fact, one engine should have enough power to do a full hospital's worth of ventilation. Put some in-line oil filters on there to reduce the taste of jet fuel and exhaust, and to block infectious spray. A quick trip to the hardware store and you've got yourself a high speed ventilator for 400 people!

Why they have gas cans in storage totes is still a mystery, though. Easier to transport, traps some vapor, and protects your vehicle from small spills. It went being an incredibly stupid idea (filling rubbermaid tubs with gas) to a smart idea.

MrYenko posted:Has the LED revolution started to make any inroads into that field? I know in reef aquaria, LED lighting has all but completely replaced metal halide lighting, even for extreme intensity applications. From my experience with concert and stage lighting, it's happening, but there's still a lot of hold outs. Every year I've been seeing more and more LEDs replacing old style light roles, along with some novel LED lights in new roles. Stage lights aren't cheap, so existing lights aren't getting switched out unless there's a good reason. We're gonna be seeing the army of existing source 4s around in the theater forever, while some concerts are completely LED + moving light based. I haven't seen any LED based 4ks or followspots, that role of loving huge bright light is still exclusive to legacy systems in my experience. From my very limited movie experience, they're still ruled by older tech. It's so much nicer to run power for LED systems. Lighter and fewer cables is easier on my back and arms.

Drone_Fragger posted:So basically, never buy anything. Becuase cheap tools are a waste of time. a decent set of screwdrivers will last you forever if you treat them well, a cheap set will need replacing every 6 months as it turns out the lovely mild steel they made it all out of is softer than the wood screws you're using will tear our and leave your screwdrivers looking more like awls than tools. There's times when you're only planning on using the tool for a weekend, or it's something that is innately disposable. Or you're poor and the lovely version is the only one you can afford while still paying rent.

Talkc posted:What is the procedure, i have to ask, in an industrial accident, should one actually get molten aluminum on one's foot? One of the thread's favorites poured some molten AL on a steak, and cooked a steak on molten tin. In some situations, molten metal is safer than other hot liquids like cooking oil. The higher temp means you get can get a brief safety period from the leidenfrost effect, and higher surface tension means the metal will tend to stick together instead of coating you. Any prolonged contact will absolutely gently caress you up, though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPwc2fDhuM4 Splashes from home foundries are probably just treated like burns. AL doesn't stick to skin like molten plastic. Small bits are going to form balls on or near the surface, larger chunks that form skins should be easy enough to pull off the burned skin underneath.

Serephina posted:Thanks for the great stuff man. One dumb question from a layman: how much of a spark/flare-up hazard are those spills? I always thought that jet fuel was rather volatile stuff, but that's a pretty blasé attitude to loose fuel sitting underneath a fuel tank. Jet engines are loving hungry and can burn drat near anything, so the main concern with jet is that it's cheap, but doesn't have enough tar, rocks, waxes, or other poo poo to clog up the fuel pump system. Basically the exact opposite of the popular conception of jet fuel as a high performance super flammable fuel.

You all have no sense of scale. There's no way to launch all the nuclear waste into space without devoting the entire world economy to rocket production, and sending a never ending stream of heavy launch vehicles into the sky. Chemical rockets are just awful for putting a lot of mass into space, you need something better, something that can lift huge amount of concrete blocks and water. You need nuclear pulse propulsion. I mean, sure, it's a massive undertaking to build a 100,000 ton holding vessel on top of the largest shock absorbers ever built, on top of a launch pad made of high explosives. We'll also need a pile of tiny nukes, but the US could use some more manufacturing jobs. I guess we'll also need to throw that manufacturing plant into the ship once the bombs are completed. But then we'll finally be able to send all our high level nuclear waste to Jupiter on a string of a few hundred nuclear explosions. Obligatory KSP video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwrLR2kv5KA

Cat Hatter posted:So, the impression I'm getting is that a mosh pit is safer than my middle school right before break, where a girl fell and the herd of students didn't stop and she ended up with a broken arm. From the concert event production side, 3 genres of music will have more injuries than average, metal, country, and urban. Metal pumps out a lot of 'consensual' mosh pit injuries, mostly minor stuff, sometimes someone hits their head or breaks a bone, but the crowd is helpful with the injuries and loves moshing. Country is drunken fist fights. So many fights, and people involved are angry and belligerent, because they're loving wasted. Rap/hip-hip/urban is similar, more chill overall, but the fights are more likely to have weapons involved. Obviously just general guidelines, some artists and crowds are super chill, and others are way more aggro. Roughly aligns with how thick the cloud of weed smoke is, vs how much beer covers the floor afterwards. EDM also has higher medical demands, but that's mostly due to drugs and dehydration.

small ghost posted:You could make an entire new film/TV only OSHA thread tbh. I just got off a call with my dad, who has Parkinson's, who was just updating me on an old industry friend of his, who has just been diagnosed with Parkinson's; just like another friend of theirs who died of complications related to Parkinson's just last year... I'm not sure if there's a proven link between developing colour film and Parkinson's, but anecdotally, a lot of photographers and cameramen seem to get it. Michael J. Fox got Parkinson's from some bad heroin, users of certain herbicides have increased rates of Parkinson's, and it can be triggered in primates by injecting MPTP. It absolutely has external triggers. Huffing tons of organic solvents for years and developing long term problems is completely believable and unfortunately common as people exposed to those low safety practices get older.

Uncle Enzo posted:Yeah what the hell, why didn't they just gently brake and move in behind the truck? I drive in heavy traffic all the time and I would never ever have done that. "Zoom ahead and make an illegal lane crossing" is a pretty garbage plan. After that, I dunno? Am I stuck in the exit lane next to a truck that still wants to get over and almost hit me once already? I need to get in front or behind the truck, and I want to get back to my lane before the gore strip ends. I general I want to be as far away from erratic drivers as possible, for trucks that means passing them. In this situation, my car wouldn't be able to pass the truck before the gore strip ends. So I'd have to brake safely then merge right back to my lane behind the truck. The tesla was able to just floor it and get in front of the truck. It's not the safest option, but given the situation, it's reasonable. I will poo poo on tesla and musk all day long, but that trucker was willing to cause a crash to avoid missing an exit.

Jabor posted:Just so you're aware, the blinking lights on the truck are actually there to indicate that it's going to perform a lane change - it's not like the truck suddenly moved with no warning.

KoRMaK posted:thank god the tesla saved that person and did a manovour that no human paying attention could do - listing to the left the AP put the tesla in the lovely situation because it can't read traffic like a human. i can tell when a truck is freaking out and trying to merge two lanes over to make an exit, but the AP can't. Jabor posted:I'll mention that the autopilot in this case swerved into another lane instead of braking because it's programmed to avoid hard braking whenever possible. Failure for self driving that requires human intervention always happens in the worst mode possible for humans to intervene. A human can't be tuned out and snap to attention to correct a problem before an incident occurs. Instead we're getting systems that default to carrying on as if everything is fine until something catastrophic happens. I guess I accidentally described almost every system and institution in America there, too.

Mr. Fall Down Terror posted:a lot of them are rental trucks, meaning that an inexperienced driver is behind the wheel. you can guess how many of them pay for the additional insurance to cover things like this - especially to the extent necessary to cover the driver in the case of something like "ignored multiple warnings that the vehicle was overheight". it is also very likely the city would bill the driver for cleanup as well in addition to an dumbass fees for hitting the bridge in the first place. if a driver doesn't hit the bridge but stops and gets stuck, and needs to call the police to stop traffic to help them turn around, that can incur a fee as well One of the non-chain truck rental places around here has the whole rental counter covered in warnings and pictures of overheight collisions with plenty of warnings that no insurance will cover it. Not the one they offer, not your personal insurance, it's always going to be your fault, and it's going to be loving expensive. Like $10,000 to $30,000+ expensive for just the repairs.

Some time around when you've finished those 35lbs, the next daily shipment will arrive. No exercise, because you're too busy eating enough leaves and pooping leaves to have time to do anything else.
