I don't get why people doubt the shattered glass. It is intended to crack. That's not a lie. And it is still save.

Here, just watch this for a few seconds, or even the whole minute:

Is the filmer waving the person into the train?

Looks like it. And I wouldn't be surprised if they only went because they panicked and saw the person behind them motioning to move.

Yes, sure. Seems probable. If my car ever was on some train tracks for whatever reason and a train is coming, I'd probably look into the rear view mirror and wait for the person behind me to wave me into the right direction too.

I dunno, you put a lot of weight on a small portion of the body and a metal thing with potentially sharp edges and I'm pretty sure it'll remove itself from the body fairly quickly. Hell, there used to be problems with the hangman noose being too tall or long and popping the heads off the people getting hung. I can easily imagine a ring doing some damage during the drop from the net to the ground.

False.



With this simple Schutzkontaktsteckdose you have 2 ways to plug in the cable if you need the cable to go the other way.

Cojawfee posted:

The french plugs seem nice in that they seem to be recessed, so you can't accidentally drop a coin and have it fall on exposed prongs like you can with a US outlet. but why is the ground terminal poking out like that?
To make the first connection to your device the ground. The Schutzkontaktsteckdose does it with prongs.

Does this have some mechanism to make it so hot and neutral are not swapped when you plug it in the other way?

No. But that only matters if you are working on a device while it is plugged in. Worst case i can imagine is a light bulb change.



In this case the whole metal screwy part could indeed be hot.

Dumbass didn't turn off the breaker, shorted the wires with the scissors. Just a light tickle at first before diving in for seconds.

There are tools made to work on live wires with heavy insulation on the grips. Wouldn't have stopped this idiot from shorting it the way he was cutting.

E: those are needle nose pliers, not scissors, my bad.
As he was able to short the wires TWICE, I'm not sure if there even is a breaker.

I presume this is bad? I'm not an electrician tho

Not necessarily bad, but dumb. If those aren't special outlets in a workshop they share the same breaker. So it won't double the amps/voltage/phases. To make this work you'd need one outlet to have 2 phases and one outlet on the third phase. This would be highly unusual.

So no, you won't get 3 phases out of your standard outlet at home. Without any specifics about the 3-phase motor I'm not sure if it will burn some coils in the motor or flip your breaker or just not work at all.

lmao, we see things in this thread all the time where someone doesn't use appropriate PPE because it saves a dollar or two. Or something goes wrong because it had to be done fastfastfast. How great that there is a way in some countries to ban those snowflakes who insist on safety. Or cost the company money in some other ways because they don't behave like droids without a sense of self preservation. Oh wait no I'm sure that never happens and the system works perfectly and gets used only in the cases where it makes 100% sense, my bad.

That is really well made and I wouldn't have a problem using it. If this was a commercial device, the only difference would be that the transformer has another case, no plug but a cable clamp and is 5 times as expensive.

Or how about we use the machine, still employ 5 guys and everyone works like half the time for the same benefits? I'm kidding of course, don't want to get on a watchlist for radical leftists.

It’s unclear at what speed the passenger train and the freight train were travelling when they ran into each other just before midnight Tuesday, but survivors said the impact threw several passengers through the windows of train cars. State broadcaster ERT quoted rescuers saying they found some victims’ bodies 30-40 meters (100-130 feet) from the impact site.
State broadcaster ERT was apparently wrong, the speed of the trains is missing now.

So he's going to jail for shooting up a police car, and extra charges for endangering people while committing a crime, like when cops charge a robber with murder because the cops shot a child while he was handcuffed on the ground right

Right

Of course not. The guy who was handcuffed in their car will be charged.

a tweet posted:

On November 12, 2023, an incident involving Okaloosa County Sheriff's deputies in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, led to the resignation of Deputy Jesse Hernandez following an officer-involved shooting.

Responding to a disturbance involving Marquis Jackson, accused of grand theft auto and making threats, deputies apprehended Jackson after the victim reported his possession of firearms and a silencer.

During the ongoing investigation, Hernandez mistakenly interpreted an acorn hitting the patrol car as a gunshot, resulting in both Hernandez and Sergeant Beth Roberts discharging their weapons into the vehicle with Jackson handcuffed inside.

No injuries were reported, and subsequent investigations judged Hernandez's response as not objectively reasonable, leading to his resignation, while Roberts was exonerated.
