chitoryu12 posted:The training does affect it a lot. Police training is infamously antagonistic toward civilians; it emphasizes that not only must cops maintain control of a situation and be the source of power in every single incident without giving any of it up, they get shown videos of people randomly attempting to kill cops during things like traffic stops to tell them "This can happen at any time. Any single person you interact with can just decide to shoot you in the face for no reason." Even the cops who aren't coming into the force as bloodthirsty sociopaths are conditioned to turn into them by making them treat every situation as one where they need to push people around and be ready to kill on the spot, while negotiation more complex than "PUT THE KNIFE ON THE GROUND!!!!!" is pretty much non-existent. It's no coincidence that a certain emblem drains the flag of the red, white and blue in favor of their own gang colors and their own symbol (the blue line). It's a very clear way to get across that antagonistic attitude toward the actual people of the US.  But this isn't flag desecration because... um...

Mistle posted:As for vehicles in the U.S., federal rules I think list two possible things may "fall from a moving vehicle":water and chicken feathers. Water is still a thing, but chicken feathers grandfathered in from the way back days when farmers drove birds to market.  How do they get there now, if they aren't driven there in trucks anymore? Does Scotty beam them up from the farms?

From helmets.org, which is mostly about bicycle helmets but I'm sure a lot of this applies to hard hats as well:helmets.org posted:Occasionally somebody spreads rumors that sweat and ultraviolet (UV) exposure will cause your helmet to degrade. Sweat will not do that. The standards do not permit manufacturers to make a helmet that degrades from sweat, and the EPS, EPP or EPU foam is remarkably unaffected by salt water. Your helmet will get a terminal case of grunge before it dies of sweat. Sunlight can affect the strength of the shell material, though. Since helmets spend a lot of time in the sun, manufacturers usually put UV inhibitors in the plastic for their shells that control UV degradation. If your helmet is fading or showing small cracks around the vents, the UV inhibitors may be failing, so you probably should replace it. Chances are it has seen an awful lot of sun to have that happen. Otherwise, try another brand next time and let us know what brand faded on you. https://helmets.org/replace.htm tl;dr Replace it if it's taken an impact or has any visible damage, otherwise it's probably fine.

Zeond posted:They also have a Concorde on the pier and the shuttle prototype Enterprise as well as an impressive number of airplanes parked on the carrier's deck. They're doing a really nice job with the space shuttles. Endeavour will be set up vertically with an external tank and SRBs looking ready for launch, Atlantis is suspended in midair re-creating orbital operations, Discovery looks like she's just rolled to a stop after landing, and Enterprise... is on an aircraft carrier, because why not, carriers rule.  I love those old shuttles, but realistically they were deathtraps. Two of the 135 flights ended in disaster. In addition to the four surviving shuttles I listed, there are broken pieces of Challenger and Columbia displayed in a tasteful memorial at Kennedy Space Center. It was partially due to the design itself, and partially due to "normalization of deviance" on NASA's part -- the "we got away with it last time so I guess it's not really a safety problem at all" factor.

Mister Speaker posted:I used to have a lot of fun pointing out "I bet you got this ripped episode of Battlestar from someone in the UK" because the voices were noticeably higher in pitch, and somewhere in the rip/conversion/playback chain someone or something got lazy. Is THAT what caused that -- a 25 fps source being treated as 30? drat, mid-2000s mystery finally solved. Of the episodes I'd torrent, here and there would be one where Lee in particular sounded like he'd been huffing helium.

Ror posted:https://i.imgur.com/TwPshI3.mp4 We had those at my old office. They work fine (with the right sink shape) but they have a real drawback when the room is busy: you have to keep bogarting the sink for a surprisingly long time while drying your hands, instead of moving off to dry elsewhere and letting the next person have it. It really cuts down the total toilet throughput capacity.

Log082 posted:No, no, it's totally different. See, with steam, the high pressure steam cuts the broom. With hydrogen, the broom lights on fire. It's important to keep these straight, so that you don't misidentify a potential hazard. Run the steam and the hydrogen through the same pipe, so that if there's a leak, the water will put out the fire.
