I have a follow up question about rally driving. Where do the notes come from? Does the spotter drive the course and make notes, and the driver is going in blind? Do they get a map and some condition notes? It always looks like hand written notes. This video probably accounts for a third of my rally spotter knowledge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9-voINFkCg

The teams then get a reccy trip through, that's why you hear the irish guys talking about marking turns as 3s when they're 4s. some stages are done blind with just the pace notes though.

Thank you both, that’s quite interesting to me. I really enjoy the shorthand notation that various fields use, things that look inscrutable until you get backwards engineer it or find a Rosetta Stone. Stenography and algebraic notation for chess come to mind as other examples. I mean, look at these pacenotes and tell me you wouldn’t clock them as some high level math homework at first glance. I took Symbolic Logic in college and this is bring back some of those memories.

I used to wash my hands with brake cleaner back when I worked at a garage. It dried the hell out of my skin. Since it was chlorinated, and I've read that chlorine/chlorinated things can cause Renal Cell Carcinoma (kidney cancer) maybe thats why I have a poo poo load of tumors on my kidneys.

Stuff like gas will be absorbed by the skin only if it sits on your skin for several hours. Assuming this dude isn't sitting around in his gasoline soaked clothes for hours and has a shower, he'll be fine. Same with washing your hands with brake cleaner. Apart from being just a bizarre thing to do, 20 seconds of exposure while washing hands won't result in any skin absorption.

Any skin contact with poisons and carcinogens is extremely not best practice even if you clean it off right away. Its competing with the easily attainable "just don't do it" scenario.

Besides, taking a petrol shower is probably equivalent to taking a pretty sizeable huff.

Back when I was in the Army I was an Abrams crewmember. We were doing company level field exercises, I was a loader and we had a fuel leak from one of the front fuel cells that was going into the hull. The hull drains were probably clogged with some weird combo of hydraulic fluid and dirt (the hydraulic system for the Abrams is pretty drat leaky/tends to break fairly regularly, with the added bonus of FRH (Fire Resistant Hydraulic) oil being a known carcinogen). Anyway our driver spent the better part of a day sitting partially submerged in JP8 (jet fuel, essentially really fancy diesel fuel, the Abrams has a turboshaft gas turbine engine) and didn't say anything until we started to really notice the smell of fuel. JP8 doesn't have a particularly strong odor and tanks tend to smell kinds dirty and oily anyway, so it took a while to notice. Dude had to be medevac-ed cuz he basically had chemical burns/some weird reaction to sitting in jet fuel for hours. He ended up being alright in the short term, I can't image exposure like that would be good for long-term health.

My phd supervisor (advisor) would talk about some dye lasers he'd used where if you spilled a drop of the solvent on your skin you'd start tasting it in your mouth a few seconds later. Given what nasty poo poo some of the dyes were, and the general inability to run a dye laser without making a huge spill at some point, I'm glad I only had to use relatively benign solvents like methanol and ethanol in my lasers.
