Yeah of course its not a safe situation in general and i wasn't thinking about doing the splits across a truck. I was more wondering about touching part of the frame while inside the car and moving around. So in general it would be "safe" even though you should try not to touch at two points at the same time? Keep contact to a minimum? You know what, i'll just try to not end up in that situation at all!

LifeSunDeath posted:Abom79 just did an OSHA, stuck his finger in the path of the moving shaper to show where the part was having issues, quickly took it away, but it gave me chills Putting your finger in there is pretty stupid but its not like the thing does sudden unexpected movements or swings the engine block around or something. So standing next to it filming it doesn't exactly seem that dangerous.

CaptainSarcastic posted:I figured the danger factor made it OSHA. I did that but additionally i had to turn the key in the ignition as hard as possible and hold it there because that was the only way to get around the steering lock. This meant i only had one hand to steer with power steering that wasn't working. Those were a fun couple of kilometers around some pretty sharp turns!

I'm baffled by the thought of people working barefoot in warehouses. But then i remember that this is in the US and that over here in socialist europe, if your job requires any sort of safety wear, your employer has to supply it. And no, your pay can't be docked to cover the cost. And if you work anywhere that moves pallets around safety shoes are pretty much required. Working in an Amazon warehouse over here stinks too though. I was a picker for a couple of months and it was just the most tedious boring job that made my feet hurt like hell. It was in the middle of the winter (i was hired a couple of months before christmas. They always hire a couple hundred/thousand people for like three months to cover christmas) but the warehouse was warm as hell so you had to run around in shorts and a t-T-Shirt all the time. There were like five floors in the warehouse and everyone dreaded going to the top floor because of the warm air rising to the top and it was like a loving sauna up there. Shorts and T-Shirt are also great when they do a fire drill and you have to stand outside in the freezing wind for an hour! Because the little hand scanner tracked everything you had to pick and where it was the supervisors could also see how long you took between picks so i had to explain that yes it took me five minutes to get from one shelf to the one right next to it because its warm as hell so i'm drinking a lot of water so i have to go to the bathroom all the time and the bathroom is three floors down. Everyone had to take their break at the same time, which might work if the warehouse is staffed normally but does not work when there are a couple hundred people more. Everyone had to squeeze through a couple of metal detectors so the first 15 minutes of your break are spend standing in line waiting for everyone to be scanned. If you wanted to get some warm food from the cafeteria it was another 15 minutes wait because that line is long as hell now too. Hope you brought a sandwich! Same thing happened when the shift was over. Long lines at the exit because people needed to catch the bus/train into town and had like five minutes from clocking out to change out of their work clothes and get to the train station. And they all had to get through the metal detector again.. This lead to people forming lines fifteen minutes before the shift ended at the time clock to clock out immediately and run out of the doors. This, of course, made the supervisors mad because they weren't hitting their targets anymore so this was no longer allowed. Instead everyone suspiciously hung around the time clock at the end of the shift because they suddenly had a dead battery in their scanner or their cart was making a funny noise and they wanted another one and whoops would you look at that shifts over, might as well clock out! Don't even get me started on cramming a couple hundred more people into a warehouse without making sure that there are enough carts or working scanners available... I know this is nothing compared to some other horror stories but after a couple of months it was just draining the will to live out of me because of so many little things that sucked. You could just tell that they did not give a single gently caress about you and if they could they would gently caress you over as hard as possible. Thank god for decent labor laws over here. I walked out of that warehouse on christmas eve and never returned to work the rest of december. I don't think they ever noticed that i stopped coming in. Right after that i started working an office job for DHL which was soul draining in an entirely different way! I make good choices!

Jim Silly-Balls posted:Can we reboot the world? Is that a thing? Eh, problem is it's been running like forever so even if you get everything shut down cleanly you have no idea if all components come back up and if all processes will run they way they are supposed to. Not a lot of redundancy too. I suggest a hardware upgrade and to virtualize the whole thing.

Sagebrush posted:In all cars except very recent ones the throttle is directly connected to the pedal by a cable, so the computer has no control over that. Modern cars with drive-by-wire systems could block throttle openings that would cause engine damage, though, yes. Also, essentially all cars with electronic ignition and/or fuel injection will also cut the gas and spark at redline to attempt to limit the engine speed. Well depends on your definition of "very recent" cause electronic throttles have been pretty common for the last 20 years.

Tesla has actually been sued here in germany so they aren't allowed to call it Autopilot in their marketing anymore. They still do though. They changed nothing. They give no fucks.

Memento posted:There's a trick you use to get the crankshaft bolt off the front of an MX-5 engine, where you put a really big bar on it, press the bar up against the right hand side of the bottom of the front frame and give the starter motor a hit. The engine will turn over and hopefully get the bolt moving. I read about that trick when i was doing mine and was just happy to have access to a good impact gun for poo poo like this...

The most  thing. Lucking into money and losing it all due to medical bills. The only thing that would have made it more american is if the medical bills were because of a gunshot wound.

Oh hey we did that here in Germany 15 years ago.   Had no power for a couple of days! It actually led to the power company replacing 60% of their pylons because some of them were made with garbage steel in the 40s. They also payed 300€ to every child being born nine month later in the afflicted areas

Scholtz posted:Is there any frunk large enough to require an internal release? Do buses and motorhomes need them in their storage compartments? Fun fact. The Mustang Mach e has an emergency release in the frunk even though it comes with permanently installed seperators:  (Yes you obviously only need to pop out a couple of plastic rivets to take out the seperators but its not user removable per se) The important thing is that theres a shitton of room under the hood for some loving wings:  or some loving shrimps!

ElBrak posted:Well, first thing, you probably don't wanna use an electric lift for that sort of work, given how big it is. a manual jack with that size of pallet would probably be able to 180 that stack inside the confines of the truck. Or if it went too far, be light enough that it wouldn't flip the entire stack right off the liftgate. It's also pretty common to just drop the As we have seen it's not recommended with an electric lift...
