People don't stay home for Chinese New Year.

Think thanksgiving plus Christmas plus Easter plus spring break, minus Black Friday. You will not get gently caress all done in China over CNY. Factories shut down. poo poo even eBay has a standard warning saying "hey the poo poo you ordered is probably going to be a month late, it's CNY right now."

lol shut the gently caress up. When poo poo goes wrong, who dies? The operator, so yeah, i think its in our best interests to know what is going on. If you were smart you would know the people pushing operators to cut costs and use short cuts are the management cause we get paid by the hour and don't care how long things take. Stop acting like your 10x as smart as the the people operatering the equipment cause you guys don't have to to maintenance or repairs either and that poo poo is designed by a retard most of the time.

i've heard that a work-to-rule is a little different, as in a worker does not do any job or put in any effort that the handbook for their job does not require (ie refusing to do unpaid overtime or skip a break or answer emails off clock) and one where workers refuse to engage in the technical violations of safety rules that become expected parts of operating efficiency on an unsafe job site is a rule-book slowdown. so basically one is striking back at a company walking on the worker's right to compensation for their time to finish a job cheaply, the other is striking back at a company that is walking on safety to finish one quickly [and also cheaply]

It still falls within the definition of work to rules, they're usually both done at the same time.

I used to work in bulk grain transportation. Can confirm that small animals end up dead in the stuff fairly commonly. Rats, pigeons, mice, cats. After a few days in there they get all desiccated, it's pretty gross.

Also we'd move the stuff around with bulldozers. Enjoy your corn flakes.

Trains are federally regulated and because of the ridiculous amount of right of ways they needed to first implant themselves, they have a regulatory environment that is ridiculously favourable to the railways.

Long story short, if you build an overpass over a railway that isn't high enough for trains, that overpass is going to come down and you're going to pay for it coming down.

Real content: Cruise ship crew Diogenes Carpio and Ben Buenaventura, both from the Philippines, died after a lifeboat safety drill accident aboard the Norwegian Breakaway on 20 July while the cruise ship was docked in Bermuda.

The lifeboat was left hanging from one wire after it broke free from the tethering, resulting in four crew members falling into the water.

The two surviving crewmen, 25 year old Romanian man and a 31 year old Indian man, were treated and discharged from the hospital.

Carpio died at the scene. Buenaventura was transfered from Bermuda to the intensive care unit of Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami, Florida. He had fractures to both legs, hip, right arm, punctured lungs and traumatic brain injuries. He died on 30 August.

Lifeboat drills are legit the most dangerous activity commercial seafarers engage in. Hey let's hang a multiple ton boat from wire forty feet up, what could possibly go wrong! (Also the wires are set up to be easily released in an emergency).

Cruise ships are especially bad because most of their crew don't have a lot of training in lifeboat operations, and they have a shitload of lifeboats.

Why don't they have the life boats just resting on the ship, then as the ship goes down the life boats are gently added to the water as the ship slips under?

Sometime the ship catches fire real good and you need to GTFO before it even starts sinking.

The life rafts are set up to self deploy if the ship sinks and no one launches them first though. Same thing with free fall lifeboats.

By Mythbusters or by people who actually know how to set up and run an experiment?

It's known to occur in very specific cases where previously water tight compartments collapse suddenly as the ship sinks. It depends on how quickly the ship sinks, amongst other things.

Generally you do want to get the gently caress away anyway, because the sucker might explode or capsize, anyway. And if it's a cruise ship, there's other boats or rafts coming down after you so get out of the way.

I'm answering this coming from construction. CO2 and N2 are both dangerous inert gases (guess we all know that) and in lab spaces they seem to only be piped into fume hoods or exhausted bio safety cabinets, except in special procedure rooms near vivariums. Those procedure rooms with exposed CO2 valves always have CO2 sensors.

CO2 sensors use IR, the same technology used in many lighting control occupancy sensors and smoke detectors. IR can't detect N2.

There are N2 sensors, but - and I'm purely guessing - I bet the prevalence of IR makes it cheaper to detect CO2 than N2.

edit: IR = infrared

Most of the time you don't bother measuring N2 air content - N2 isn't toxic, it's just dangerous if it displaces the oxygen.

The set up for those situations would be an O2 sensor, set to go off at 20% or 19% O2 per volume, depending on the organization's policy.

Yeah, this the point where you have to start talking about relative and absolute accuracy. Your phone barometer is certainly capable of detecting the pressure change between your feet and your head (relative accuracy), but can't distinguish real height change from a wider atmospheric change (absolute accuracy).

That's because it's measuring air pressure, not altitude. That's why planes have to adjust their barometric altimeters based on the airport's barometer readouts before they land.

Is the steam for US carrier catapults tapped straight off the reactor or generated seperately?

The water in the reactor is fed through a heat exchanger, which is in contact with the working steam loop; this water flashes to superheated steam and is used to feed turbines, catapults and what have you

So no the steam wafting around in the opening minutes of Top Gun isn't radioactive, it's never been inside the reactor.
