I remember reading in the Everest thread that people have rappelled off the ends of their ropes because they couldn't be bothered to tie a knot at the end of it. I consider this OSHA cause I think he was as close as you can get to a full time climber. https://rockandice.com/climbing-news/brad-gobright-dies-in-accident-in-el-potrero-chico-mexico/

This is supposedly the largest operating counterblow hammer in the world, and it's only a few miles from me. A buddy works at this place and they do defense work so zero chance of getting to see it in person.

They don't solely do defense stuff, so I can't say that machine is part of that, but I know my friend has to do a lot of work with inconel and other stupid expensive alloys, something with jet or helicopter engines I think? I know it used to be used to forge missile parts, and the company had previously made parts for the space shuttle. Skip to 6:50 for the start of the sequence: https://youtu.be/MvADC43EHmE

A friend's coworker did a number on the back of her left hand with a grinder, like "is that bone? Oh poo poo!" bad. The gloves, they did nothing. Still probably better to wear them while grinding than not.

Looking like a worker doesn't always work. Some dudes showed up and started digging up our fiber so they could attach some device to the jacketing to do location work, but this was unexpected. When getting your fiber cut could cost millions per hour, well security got em within two minutes of work and while I wasn't privy to the emails about that incident, I'm sure <insert major national telecom company here> and <insert local telecom infrastructure/locate company> learned real quick.

Right across from the park someone just built a Drive-thru Daiquiri business. I can't wait to see bikers lined up to get roadies during this year's rally. Not that it will even make a difference since they already sell them copious amounts of lovely beer in galveston, then they ride back out to the sticks to camp. Wait what. Drive through boozy drinks? Like with a straw to drink on the way home from work? lol drat

Sagebrush posted:Fluke has a trademark on yellow-housing, gray-faceplate (not just yellow) electronic testing equipment. They have argued, I would say correctly, that their particular color scheme on the type of equipment they sell is as distinctive as a logo. Essentially every single product they sell is that color, and if you see a yellow-and-gray multimeter anywhere in the country you can assume it's a Fluke. Disney does the same thing... they’re very protective of their stuff but they do circle back and do goodwill efforts usually. Disney still may suck for many other reasons.

) and Fluke noted that they were protecting their trademark, which they legally have to do lest it get genericized and anyone be able to copy the look of their meters. Whether you like that idea or not, it is probably true that people currently see a meter in the Fluke color pattern and go "oh, that's a good one, and probably expensive." I certainly do.

The capsule is basically a cargo container with life support and displays to make the humans feel more comfortable, drat near everything is automatic and or done from the ground. There’s nothing for the humans to control. Cargo has been docking fully automatically to the ISS for many years.

Cartoon Man posted:You can download VLC player from the app store to view them but it’s a pain in the rear end. Copy the link to the file, open VLC, go to network tab and select “open network stream”. Paste the link and it will play. I just tap the link and VLC opens and asks if I want to download or play.... I don’t remember doing anything special to make it do that, but I’ve been using vlc for ages so I probably wouldn’t even remember if I did. Edit: on iPhone

Even if the ship is a total loss, they’ll need to positively verify the removal or destruction of every single piece of sensitive equipment on board before it can get scrapped. Letting it sink just makes that much harder and much more expensive.

There’s been a few instances of people surviving tornados by hiding inside of a walk in cooler, like direct hit kinda stuff. My admittedly limited experience with walk ins inside restaurants makes then look pretty tough, but It wouldn’t surprise me if more modern walk ins were nothing but foam and positive thoughts.
