Megillah Gorilla posted:Not enough PPE in the world In a non-cowboy smelter, when you're charging a furnace with scrap to recycle (or even raw material that you're smelting), you use a remotely operated bucket and absolutely nobody is allowed to be in the blast zone. You still get dramatic results if damp scrap ends up in the furnace, but it doesn't result in a person being showered in molten metal. Having it done by a guy in a forklift sitting right in front of the opening is incredibly irresponsible.

The guy steps inside the cabin because the rules say no-one can be in the area outside the cabin while the furnace is being charged. He's stepped inside that cabin dozens if not hundreds of times before, but you didn't see a video about it because nothing dramatic happened. That sort of thing doesn't usually happen. But the safety rules are written so that if it does, people don't get hurt.

Kibayasu posted:Right, but even assuming that is not what happened in that video, why would you ever want the lift to go free and put in a lever that makes that happen? Perhaps when you have the load on the ground, and you want to give the riggers some slack to work with. You couldn't really lower it under power at that point since the load wouldn't actually be pulling on it.

Memento posted:I read somewhere that if aspirin was invented today it would be a strictly controlled pharmaceutical, or possibly never even make it to human trials. We're a lot more careful about what we put into ourselves these days. I don't know exactly where the line is between "invented" and "discovered", but I'm pretty sure aspirin is in the latter group.

It depends on how easy it is to cultivate. If it requires a lot of investment such that a capitalist can effectively control the means of production, then it'll stay legal (with some regulations to help lock up that monopoly even tighter).

You want to look at deer for an example of that. Left to their own devices they'd happily genocide themselves through famine, humans have to kill a bunch of them every year to keep their numbers in check after we pushed out the apex predators that used to do that.

You just need to spend $$$ to do it on your own dime. It's expensive, but it's also fun, and it's not really that much more expensive than many other hobbies. You never really forget the first time you leave the ground. There's an aviation thread in A/T with a good mix of commercial pilots, flight instructors, and private pilots/enthusiasts, if you wanted to know more.

Ornamental Dingbat posted:Fixed bollards can either be buried or bolted down to the ground depending on the application- usually the buried ones are a thick pipe that is buried about 6" with a filler like concrete. I've seen removables that go into a casement that's buried pretty deep, might not stop a loaded truck at full speed but seems like it'd do a good job against an idiot in a sedan.

CRUSTY MINGE posted:Yeah that still doesn't make any sense, because they're still within a boundary that determines that their house was within X township. Even when I lived 8 miles from a town in Buttfuck, Illinois, we were still considered part of the closest township in terms of emergency services and general mapping. Our fire departments were volunteer. Yeah, they'd have a hard time making it to the fire, but when you live that far out, you shouldn't expect much to be able to be done. So what I'm getting is that the state sucks, but the town itself did nothing wrong.

Stomping on the gas will screw things up, putting a big pulling force on the tongue will pull it back towards the center faster and then its momentum will kick it out the other way even more. Braking hard will screw things up even worse, since now the trailer is pushing the vehicle and will be pushed even further to the side. What you want is to unload the tongue as much as possible - ideally, they're both just coasting along together, until they come to a stop. In some cases a little bit of gas might help with that (since your vehicle might, for example, want to slow down faster than the trailer due to air resistance, so giving a tiny bit of engine power can even that out), but since it's a bit of a panic situation and you're not really in a position to calmly assess just how much gas to give it, the safest option is to just ride it out.

It is pretty much totally safe to get it done once and then not again for a good long while. It would be rather not safe to get it done multiple times a day for your entire working career, hence why the people running the machine need the shielding.

OctaMurk posted:Unlimited PTO of any kind results in people not actually using PTO because they are afraid to be judged by coworkers from what I've seen. Just combining vacation days and sick leave into "PTO" and then not counting dr/pt appointments against PTO is for the best I think, as long as that PTO pool is 3 or 4 weeks at minimum. If someone is going to be out so long they use up all their PTO, then they should be either working from home, on short term disability, or have another special arrangement worked out. Ahahahaha Do you seriously think the solution to make people actually take sick days when they're sick is to ... make them burn their vacation time to do it?

Rad-daddio posted:Do EU countries address road wear and tear done by heavy commercial vehicles? I know they use similar trucks and loads to USA, I guess they probably tax those vehicles and companies at a higher rate? In NZ, diesel vehicles pay Road User Charges based on their gross weight instead of a fuel tax. They also get cheaper if you're spreading that weight over more axles (which causes less damage to the road).
