Back where I used to live, if you left a fallen tree next to or across a road, come back an hour later and the whole thing would be missing. Lots of homeowners with wood stoves and chainsaws.

Decapitation is a separate category from 'injury not compatible with life'. Is this because for Category F you have to check if they're breathing and that's difficult if you can't find their head?

The Jawoyn people of northern australia considered a certain region 'sickness country', not fit for habitation. Then white men came by and built a bloody huge mine there because it was full of uranium.

Blacknose posted:Therac-25 is the case study in why you don't move hardware interlocks to software, why you need robust QA on critical systems and why UI design is really, really important. That an 'operator error' caused the deaths is exactly the issue - the system should not have allowed an operator error. Or rather operator error should always result in the least harmful outcome. You can't eliminate error because you can't read the operator's mind, but you can make sure that screwing up results in lost time rather than irradiated children.

This is true. Buuuut... Just as you as the backend developer shouldn't trust the operator to know what they're doing, the operator shouldn't assume that the backend will catch any mistakes they make and the UI designer should assume that both of you are idiots. Each person involved should treat it like they and they alone are the only person standing in the way of disaster. This minimises (not eliminates, reduces) the risk of the swiss cheese holes lining up and disaster happening.

According to the article, the man claims to have been building a 'quantum physics generator' and suffered radio frequency burns. So, he hooked some random HF electronics together and microwaved himself.

Queen Combat posted:In many cases, skin isn't required to heal the burn, it's just required to heal it quickly and not make it look awful. Plus, you can allograft many times if you have the cadaver skin to do it while the good areas spread and heal. Also, a 4x8 inch patch of skin graft is meshed using what I've heard affectionately called the "pasta cutter from Hell (not NWS link but be careful)", to spread over an area 4-5x as large. How much skin can you get from one corpse? It seems like each person has a lot if you peel them completely, but i'm not sure if it's all suitable or if you can only use certain areas. Edit: i assume the best stuff comes from organ donors, who are only just dead or technically-still-alive (but brain dead)?

Re hands, one thing that bugs me is that when people in movies/games need blood for a thing they always cut their hand. That's a terrible place! It's constantly flexing and will take forever to heal. Use the back of the forearm instead.

At my dad's old work they used to just use a drill press. It'd be impossible to spin the platters up without them exploding, so that was considered destroyed enough.

Serephina posted:I don't know much about guns, but aren't safeties supposed to prevent discharge? That one doesn't. Without a system like that a gun will go off if it is cocked and receives a sudden impact, such as being dropped. This system prevents discharge if the trigger isn't actually being pulled. It doesn't prevent discharge if the trigger is being pulled but by accident. You've also got grip/trigger safeties which prevent discharge if the gun isn't being held in a hand, so for example if the trigger gets hung up on a branch it won't fire. Then there are manual safeties which allow you to disable the gun with a switch, until you set it to 'fire' again. Finally there's biometric safeties which prevent discharge if it isn't being held by the right person.

Is there not a huge loving warning light on the front of every cabinet that shows its status? (I was going to say the light draws from the cabinet and only turns off when the cabinet does, but that's not fail-safe. You need the light to turn on when the cabinet turns off.)
