My understanding is that fatal accidents involving lifting/moving objects coming into contact with overhead power lines is a pretty common way to get killed. Common overhead voltages (at that sort of height) can range from 2400V to 14000V and you really don't want to get shocked by that.

Motivations include planning your route and movements ahead of time, using non-conductive ropes as guides instead of touching equipment, and coordinating equipment moves with a spotter.

One other factoid: at voltages >600V electricity can basically "blow through" the layer of dead skin cells that typically provides a fairly high (kiloohms when dry) amount of resistance. So that makes shocks at higher voltages inherently much more dangerous besides just ohms law causing an increase in current alone.

Isn't it true that given enough power, anything is a conductor, even rubber?

We use a software development tool called Jenkins at work. Normally its web panel shows a blue 'light' (just a ball icon) for success, and a red one for failure.

There is a plugin for Jenkins that changes the blue icon into a green one because apparently some spergs hate blue.

Anyone remember when the PS2 first came out? And how loving futuristically advanced it was because it had a BLUE LED omg, then a few years later every loving thing had a blue LED. There was a button sequence or something that turned the PS2's blue LED into a green one too, if you wanted to.

Perfect color comprehension is really a curse. My dad was a printer and did validation by eye constantly, and he was always silently frustrated about how everybody's TV was set up wrong.

To tie in back into OSHA, my brother considered following in his footsteps and took a printing vocational in high school. Got stoned one day, reached into a running press to clear a jam, and it ate his hand. Broke most of the bones in his fingers but somehow left the growth plates, nerves, and tendons in tact so that he made a full recovery without major surgery.

As someone that has done digital photography, the amount of people that don't bother to calibrate their monitor infuriates me.

I don't to speak ill of the dead, but the victims here seem as dumb as a literal bag of rocks.

Maybe they where suffering from slight hypoxia.

It sucks that we don't have O2 sensors built in. If you're low on O2 but you haven't got an increase in CO2, such as you're breathing in Methane or Helium, you feel perfectly fine until you suddenly collapse. Hypoxia rapidly results in "unable to have good ideas" quickly followed by "unable to have ideas" and I don't mean because you're dead.

There was one of those animated 'what happened' videos about 2 workers standing in a shed that processed animal poop. One of them said 'do you smell something bad?' and I was like "OH MAYBE ITS THE LITERAL ROOM OF poo poo YOU'RE IN??"

Then they suffocated to death. Does anyone else remember that thread?

Didn't some goon a number of years ago do almost exactly that only with a cable line instead of ethernet because his neighbor was stealing his cable or something and he just wanted to blow up his TV?

Then the next day some random house in his neighborhood burns down and he swears it wasn't him and his device?

But yeah, it'd short everything out almost instantly. No saving the switch or router. If you left it plugged in, it might start a fire.

What gets me is why the lights turn red for that truck and the warning sign comes on.... and then go green again. Is that not a design flaw in the warning system? Shouldn't they wait for there to not be an overheight truck heading towards the bridge to go green again?

That's what I said when I first saw that video. You see a sign saying "overheight must turn right" and it can be taken as "if you're overheight, then you must turn right, but you're okay because the lights changed to green!"

Hollow Talk posted:

As far as I know, winter tires do not just help with snow, but they use a different rubber mixture and tire profile, which means they perform better in colder temperatures, so even if you do not get any snow, they would probably still be a sensible investment if it gets cold at all where people live and drive. It probably doesn't help that many people call them "snow tires" rather than simply winter tires. After all, why would I need snow tires if it never snows?! :byodood:
