CampingCarl posted:I assume access to those thing is usually locked and that doesn't look like a worker but either way it seems like someone would get fired. Edit: ugh the rest of the comments are people (rightfully) pointing out that the drone operator was a jerk for lingering when the guy obviously wanted him to gently caress off, and drone enthusiasts making bullshit justifications for why it's totally okay to stare at people who want some privacy.

I was pointing out the hypocrisy in a way that would hopefully distract enough that the whole gun debate wouldn't be dragged into anther loving sub forum. Again. Because there is irony in the fact he is decrying private gun ownership whilst touting a picture of Malcolm X with a Ruger rifle ready to defend his family and home with deadly force.

Would these sockets pass code these days? The amount of exposed prong when fully plugged-in is a bit disconcerting.

Elendil004 posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KX8cuGiQb4Y Several years ago, I got the opportunity to climb a utlity-scale wind turbine approximately that height. Our guide was one of the maintenance men. He said that they usually did most of their work during the pre-dawn hours, when the wind is low. If he finished work on a turbine quickly, he's take a nap on top of the nacelle before heading back down. He also liked to pee off the side.

Why are those materials not to code? Is it because they shatter?

MrYenko posted:Last time I was at welding supply yard, while I was waiting for my bottles, I happened to glance down at an empty in their post-hydro receiving area. Freshly painted, looked new, except for a HILARIOUSLY long line of hydro dates. The first one was nineteen fifty-nine. Lots of old cylinders around, some are a bit older and have interesting markings. Threads on them seem to think it's not actually Nazi related, since a lot of them are pre-1930.

I know a guy who used to be an engineer for a power company who was telling me about all the calculations that go into how those lines are strung and how much slack is in them. Accounting for the weight of the line itself (which increases over the span the more slack you have), snow and ice loads, wind...I had no idea how complicated it actually was.

I had a course on ATEX approval and suchlike yesterday, and that was full of lovely anecdotes of why safety critical applications need poo poo that can't be tampered with. The one the guy mentioned was that a huge oil fire we had in the UK in (the buncefield fire) happened because the maintainance team disabled the "high tank" alarm and then disabled the actual mechanism inside the tank for reasons that were unknown. The end result was that a remote oil refinery filled the tank remotely past the top and put like a foot of petrol on the floor of the entire depot site before it finally caught fire.

Captain Cool posted:How does the water get under the steel to throw it around like that? Is it just momentum from the toss? My guess: the side of the bottle next to the steel melts, so thats where the steam escapes from, which basically injects it straight into the steel.
