Fayez Butts posted:Anything related to imageshack is banned from SA for trying to advertise through the images or some poo poo SAclopedia posted:Lowtax has posted in QCS that image**** was/is blocked "because MacBeth admitted using the SA Forums to advertise his stupid image hosting site for months upon months, if not years. He would regularly post 'updates' in GBS which served as nothing but blatant advertisements for his for-profit service. I don't appreciate companies using our forum members to unwittingly virally advertise their products, and if I discover any company trying to covertly advertise their poo poo through the forums, you'd better believe I'm going to block them." Users with platinum can attach images to posts- this is the best way to attach images, as it's hosted on the SA servers and won't be lost when the image hosting service fails (as all previous hosting services have eventually done). Going through goldmined threads where most of the pictures are missing really makes you appreciate this! http://imgur.com/ is probably the next best way right now. grover fucked around with this message at 16:00 on Sep 5, 2011 |

Don't use tinypic. they delete images that pull "too much" bandwidth, or just things they don't like.

 [My hosting] I think I found the problem with my steering! More a previous owner drunk-driving into a curb failure than anything, but still pretty dramatic. It's the new / old inner tie rods from my Saab 900.

Happened today.  MSNBC posted:The operator of the crane was inside the cab at the base when the accident happened. Authorities said immediately before it flipped, the crane's arm, extended approximately 550 feet, had just deposited material on the Cathedral roof. While rotating, the equipment's balance upset, and the crane came crashing down into an area between the roadway and the church itself. grover fucked around with this message at 22:53 on Sep 7, 2011 |

I still find it amazing it didn't destroy the entire damned church or kill anyone. They really lucked the gently caress out. Last big crane accident I remember is the Miller Park one that ended very badly.

My dad told me about a guy in Navy Electrician's school who used to take a piece of copper cable and short out a battery until it was glowing red hot and then stick his face right down into it and light his cigarette.

No, I'm a smoker, and I know what its like to need a light, but if it can light a cigarette presumably it could ignite some escaping hydrogen gas  Also the cigarette lighter is fused, which anyone who tries to install an over-rated stereo and speakers will find out the hard way (several times [me]). My dad also told me about his friend at NASA who was jump-starting his car and the battery exploded (for that reason) and he lost an eye. Full of lessons, that guy. Love learning stuff from my dad. So that's why, to this day, I always make sure those little maintenance vent things are on tight, and that the battery isn't bulging, and attach the negative jumper cable lead to the frame. When a wet cell battery produces a lot of current, a byproduct of the electrolyte's reaction with the lead cells is hydrogen. whose tuggin fucked around with this message at 15:42 on Sep 8, 2011 |

Back in high school, the clutch cable on my friend's Rabbit lets go, so we're in second gear. Pull into a parking lot and we're trying to splice the cable back together with some baling wire he has in the back seat. He drops a scrap of it and it lands between the terminal and the frame. The wire just...vaporized. Not sudden like a flash gun or anything, you could see the galvanized coating bubble off as the wire went to a white heat. We ran like hell, because we were 16 and figured that battery hydrogen would explode and turn the car into a flaming wreck. A few minutes later with no explosion, we went back to the car and the wire was gone. DJ Commie posted:Charging a battery creates hydrogen, not discharging! Like I said, we were 16, we just knew that hydrogen was probably involved somewhere. Phanatic fucked around with this message at 17:13 on Sep 8, 2011 |

The battery in my Escalade made a "POP" sound, kind of like a dud firecracker when I tried to start it, then everything went dead. Opened up the hood and there was battery acid sprayed inside and the battery itself had split a little. Lesson - this kind of poo poo happens with sealed batteries - something I did not know.
