goddamnedtwisto posted:A mate of mine worked as an HGV driver for a while and he used to *dream* of loading bays - there was a particular shop he had to offload at in Bath (or Bristol, can't remember now) which required him to reverse from a main road into a side road on his right and then directly into an alleyway on his left, with the side road being exactly two lanes wide and the alley even narrower. Oh and this was on a steep hill too. I can just about parallel park a car, that sort of maneuver sounds like the kind of torture they'd give me in hell. Outside my work is not as bad, but is it terrible for HGV drivers. Imagine two office blocks, 100m one length, 200m the other. Inbetween the two is the single loading bay for ALL the shops along that length, shipments has to be manually trolleyed the rest of the way. One is a major sportswear store, but there are restaurants, off licences, etc. The loading bay entrance is at a T junction, to a major car park, so there are cars constantly going most time of the day. There is a slow down ramp also, and metal bollards on the edge of the pavements the driver has to navigate. We used to have our smoke breaks out the front, just watching them. It was like the Kypton Factor assault course for trucks. happyhippy fucked around with this message at 19:27 on Sep 11, 2021 |

Oh, was there something on today other than Tyrone winning the All Ireland GAA final? Didn't notice. Edit: My 9/11 story is that I was in bed at the time, playing Quake 3 a poo poo load the night before, went downstairs into the kitchen, and we had a 14 inch small bubble TV showing the first tower going down. My mum was ironing at the time, just watching the news saying there was an attack in NY. First thing we thought of was our uncle who still lives there, but he was in Queens, no where close, so was fine. I think my father helped build one of the nearby buildings beside the twin towers, he went over laboring in the 80s as was the thing back then, and ended up putting up sheet rock or however its called on a few different buildings. He said one was near to the towers. happyhippy fucked around with this message at 19:47 on Sep 11, 2021 |

forkboy84 posted:I'm a big dumb moron who can't even use Excel in more than the most basic functionality and is absolutely pitiful at anything more maths than basic arithmetic and the few moments of geometry and algebra that haven't leaked from my brain in the 18 years since I left school and even I have absolutely no problem with conceptualising negative numbers. I would recommend the YT channel Numberphile, its great for explaining concepts on things. Hows this for a mind bender about extra dimensions. Take a square box, and fill it with 8 spheres so that they are just touching each other and sides. Now imagine the space in the very midddle, inbetween the spheres inside the box. You can make a smaller sphere that are just touching the sides of the original spheres. As you increase in dimension, that smaller sphere gets bigger and bigger. So eventually the smaller sphere is larger than the original box. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mceaM2_zQd8 for it all, something simple just makes you loving love maths.

Guavanaut posted:I like how you can keep going up by orders but every time you find one that works, it loses a fundamental property of numbers, like quaternions are noncommutative and x·y isn't necessarily y·x, and octonions are also nonassociative so (x + y) + z isn't always x + (y + z) and eventually you just end up as things that don't work as numbers. And it's absolute madness that some of this has actual real world uses but :thatsengineering: Quaternions are great for computer games and anything that uses spatial movements like robot arms or such. As its less calculations, and you dont need to have multiple layers of reference xyz axis' and the nightmare trying to figure out what 1 degree movement is what on each of them.

Suppose it depends if you have a dedicated line nowadays, and not have a concurrency level. We only have BT in our area in NI, and they had a concurrency level of about 50 houses or so, all sharing the one line. It was fine for a long while, but from 5pm-9pm you couldn't stream poo poo or play games. Now got a dedicated line just for us and we have all the bean and sex arse porn we want.

Got a good internet related story. The TL:DR is basically two 'wannabe IRA' rear end in a top hat pub owners wanted to leech off of our wifi for football matches for free. Family used to live in a house by a pub, a small snug type frequented by the older gentlemen alcos of the town. No noise or harm from them. Then the owner sold it to these two assholes, sons of old guard IRA guys, who think themselves they are in it when they are not. One day my brother gets a knock on the door, and its one of their employees, local lad. He says he is doing coursework for college, and the pub has no internet so can he borrow our wifi, only for a few days. Brother thinks its grand, gives him the wireless key and thinks nothing of it. Didn't tell me, Im the tech head of the family. A month or two later brother is complaining he's getting lovely connection, and it cuts out a lot during the weekends for no reason. I don't live in the family home, so I said I would look after it when I get up in a few weeks time on my work holidays. So I get up home and its a friday night, I check out the connection, and I see 50+ wifi connections, with some actively connected right now. Most mobiles. I ask my brother what the gently caress, he doesn't know what it is, and then when I ask who the gently caress knows our wireless key he remembers about the guy asking for it. So I change the wireless password immediately, and BAM internet back to normal. And worked fine that whole night. Next day we get a knock on the door and one of the fuckwit owners asks if they could have the key. I was there, told him no loving way. Day after that, they sent a random customer around to ask for the key, and they spilled that they wanted to watch some football match, and that they had the key printed out and posted up on the wall for anyone to use! Hence why there were a lot of mobiles. For a few months we were this poo poo pubs internet.

peanut- posted:Every time I've done the maths before it would cost more to run a single small electric heater pointed at my desk than it costs to turn on the gas central heating for my entire flat. My place doesn't have any 'internal' heating. Instead the landlord has electric heaters attached to the walls in each room. Been here nearly 10 years now, and I have only ever used one of them, my bedroom one. That only gets turned on mid winter, when the feet are still cold even with two pairs of socks on.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:About 3 years ago, I (with some help from mum) cleared out the giant shed in my folks garden. The first thing we did was take out all the liquids that we could reach without moving too much stuff - including petrol, oil, paint stripper, paint, and god knows what. After clearing it with the local waste place first, we stuck it all in the back of the car and drove the 10 miles at about 20mph to the waste place praying noone would run into the back of us. The car is one of those mini cooper things, the back was right down and absolutely full. Considerably more than 20litres in there! Definitely the most terrifying part of the clear up! We did the same, we inherited a relatives house where there had been a garage for 70+ years. It housed the first car in our town back then, and turned into the town's garage when others got theirs. It wasn't big, but the floor sloped upwards towards the back. Then there was just a heap of rusted metallic debris chest high. Clearing it out was like bomb disposal, we would find jars full of stuff that must have been oil or old engine remnants. Then we found out the floor was actually level and it was just compacted poo poo from years and years of garage trash. Thankfully our waste dump was a few minutes away.
