I don't know if it's getting worse, or if I'm just noticing it more, but it seems like every single video of Big Clive's I've watched over the past several months contains at least one segment of him bitching about health and safety regulations. It feels like it's getting worse, with less humorous jabs, and more "those stuffed shirts don't know anything, and are needlessly burdening the working man." A fair amount of the time, he makes sure to work in that these are "EU regulations."

He should be very much against Brexit, as it's really hurting Poundland.

E: As far as I can tell, he and his brother Ralfy just really don't like politicians and bureaucracy in general.

He's also a radicalising Brexit nutter, so escalation of aggression and idiocy is to be expected. I honestly wouldn't be surprised to learn that he has interesting opinions about brown people.

I think you're very mistaken, about a number of things.

He's very much pro Scottish independence, that's about what I've seen/heard.

Yes, taint, armpits, etc sometimes escape though I wouldn't call it unscathed. I almost had to go to Shriner's when I was 10 due to taking apart C or D sized model rocket engines and burning the contents. Having the top surface of my hand and arm and the right side of my face debrided like at home or at my family physician was apparently miles better than dealing with the hardened pros at Shriners' where they will hold you and scrub and not mind your cries. I still can't imagine, thank goodness.

Back when she was a kid, my mom borrowed her grandma's bike that was way too big for her and took a dive (in shorts and a summer shirt) on a gravel road. Her one side was covered in a huge scrape with gravel pretty deeply embedded in it.

She limped home crying up a storm, and when she got home, her grandma — who was a nurse — took a look at it, grabbed a nail brush and said "will you, or shall I?"

When my mom protested at the very idea and wanted to go to the hospital, the simple reply was "at the hospital, they will just hold you down and do the same thing. So will you, or shall I?"

Don't crash your bikes on gravel roads, kids.

Kuznetsov has been at the dock for two years now after it returned from a tour in Syria. The previous accident was in October 2018 when Russia's only floating dry dock big enough to handle the ship sank and one of the cranes fell on Kuznetsov's deck. They are currently merging and enlarging two drydocks to finish the repairs by 2022.

wood like that can be worth a shitload of money. A lot of times old growth wood that fell into the bottom of some water doesn't go bad and if you can pull it out those boards are literally irreplaceable quality. There's dudes who scuba up in northern waterways looking for old times logs that sunk instead of floating all the way down into the old era sawmill.

Bog-wood in particular is highly valued, especially bog oak. The centuries of curing/maturation in oxygen-poor and tannin-rich peat bogs changes the wood to be almost completely black and super duper hard. It's expensive, but extremely good for things like flooring, applications that see a lot of wear.

I am not, however, the casually sexually harassing camerawork and narration

There is some real-rear end casual misogyny going on in a lot of those videos, like the tent that's "so easy, even a woman could do it" and the general "women in the kitchen" attitude.

Not to mention the "those inscrutable youths and their long hair and wild behavior and no discipline" thing.

The diet video that's sponsored by the national milk board is wild too, plenty of talk about "normal weight" and "fat unattractive girls" and how to attract men. Cut down on the meat, but remember to eat plenty of butter and cheese!

Aside from dudes rolling around giant tubs of margarine in a factory setting without any food safety, the sources of the oil certainly are interesting.

It's even mentioned in an episode on whaling that the oil was considered for other purposes, but people found the smell offensive, so they used it for margarine :v:

I have done all sorts of fabrication and machining; the only tool that still gives me Danger Sweats is a tablesaw. I know to be alert and have a plan, and not be Adam Savage when working with machines and I know that will keep me safe, but tablesaws whisper "give me fleeessh" every time I'm within a couple feet of one. It's All Braincells On Deck when I need to work with one.

For me it's the bandsaw.

I know a table saw has the blade literally spinning towards you and the danger of kickback, but bandsaws are used to cut meat and bone, plus you're moving your workpiece in two dimensions with both hands, so there's more to keep track of. Also you can't really use push sticks, you have to have your hands pretty close to the blade, and it always seems like it's tempting you to put your thumb right in front of the blade. Freaks me out.

It boggles the mind, I've given up trying to do anything video related on Linux, the only option seems to be to use insane command line statements with ffmpeg and hope for the best.

I've never had an issue using Handbrake, but I also don't need anything more advanced than that. Kdenlive is supposed to be a decent editor, and DaVinci Resolve if you need something more high-end, but not free.

That horror building would be unconstitutional in Germany I think. If existing laws didn't already make it illegal, of course.

But you don't often find buildings that violate the first article of the constitution, so props for that.

I think most countries require some minimum level of actual sunlight per square meter. I know for instance my upstairs neighbor can't install a balcony, because that would block too much sunlight through the window in my bedroom.

We got one of these in Kansas City a few years ago. Cars manage to T-bone it regularly -- not glance off it, not trying to beat it across an intersection, just haul rear end straight into the side of a 200 foot long tram.

In Sweden they used radioactive concrete for some years, creating extremely high concentrations of radon in the structures. Who could have known that using aggregate from uranium mines was a bad idea?
