I need one of these for when my mom gets me to grind up stale bread for bread crumbs.

I may have tried hooking up an electric drill one time...

I don't know if it bothers me more or less that this is on official signage. So either it was broken long enough that they were able to go to the printers and get a sign fully designed and printed (specifically for the bear enclosure), or they just have signs like this ready to go because glass cracking is a common enough occurrence that it makes sense to have signs like this on hand.

They should really have a second pane, even a thinner one, on the outside to at least give people peace of mind.

Right, but even assuming that is not what happened in that video, why would you ever want the lift to go free and put in a lever that makes that happen?

Not really a concentration on general lab safety as much as improper labeling leads to the most fines

Reminds me of a story I heard (maybe in an old version of this thread) where a lab or chemical company decided to honor breast cancer awareness by changing all their label colors to pink, thus screwing with the color coding.

No amount of training is going to keep bloodthirsty cops from becoming excited and trigger happy at the thought of doing some kills

That sort of thing has to be addressed during the hiring process, not after

There's also post hire training that teaches cops to be "warriors" that really feeds into the trigger happy culture.

My whole life, my dad has been making "artisanal" extension cords using whatever wire he has laying around. Plenty of two prong male ends with "grounded" female ends, in the mix. He's then been using them outdoors for Xmas lights and the like. He also likes to use indoor taps to run multiple lines in the outdoors.

Since he's become too ill to do chores around the house, I've been replacing the cords with new ones.

Today while putting up lights outside, I found these two.



I think the were made to join the female ends of two strings of lights. I know they are about to be tossed in the garbage.

We may be brothers.

When my dad needed a new cord for something he would run down to the dying local small town hardware store and buy the only thing they had, 16 ga 2 wire lamp cords. I kid you not, they were on everything. He had one on an ancient drill press once. I grabbed my clamp meter and checked it at 18 amps. Not to mention no ground and everything on that fucker was steel.

At least a lot of the extension cords seem to made from vacuum cleaner cords, so I feel they're okay to, like, power the Xmas tree.

He's got those adapters that let you plug a grounded plug into an ungrounded socket (you're supposed connect an auxiliary ground to the plug, but...). They were using them in the bedroom because the sockets didn't have a ground.

I recently bought some $0.98 sockets with grounds and swapped them out in like five minutes.

From several pages ago, but the best strat. was to get the Dirt Clod bomb and just bury your opponents in dirt that they then had to try and shoot through, usually resulting in them killing themselves, cause no one would think to buy one of the Digger rounds that dug through dirt for that exact scenario.

The copy I had worked weird as dirt would cover up the shields and then bombs could burrow through the dirt as if the shield wasn't there, so it'd be a two round fight.

If both my folks get injured, I have power of attorney. It's fairly easy to do. If it's just my mom injured, it's my dad and vice versa. Spouses have implied power of attorney but you should still have an Advance Directive on hand.

I’m going to sign those papers in about 15 minutes. Been weighing heavy on my mind since my mom brought it up. She finally decided to do it after tearing both rotator cuffs and having to have a couple vertebrate fused due to an injury at work after someone put a 50+ pound box on a shelf and asked her to get it without telling her about the weight as a joke. She grabbed it, fell, and then went to the hospital.

Haha, hilarious!

One time I was sitting at a light on my bike when a truck pulled up next to me and a PVC pipe flew off of it into the intersection. The two guys jumped out and threw it back onto the rack on top of the truck like they've done it a million times before.

Glad they didn't stop behind me.

One thing I learned with an RC helicopter, is that if you get too close to a wall, pressure drops between the blades and the wall and the helicopter gets sucked into the wall.

One thing I learned with a small drone is if you fly it while drinking, there is a good chance you will pilot it directly at your face.

Probably why I haven't flown it in about two years.
