Plutonium is probably the "most common" one you're likely to run into in the "so radioactive it feels warm" category. Of course if you get to experience it first hand something has gone horribly wrong with your life.

My guess is it's fracking mud blow-off, that's saturated with natural gas so they flare it when they dump the mud?

zedprime posted:The Montreal Protocol is a very gentle phase out. You can still legally service your classic car with R-12. The trump admin started make noises about reversing the various reefer bans, until the lobbyists shut it down hard. They make more money on R-22 banking and 4 series refrigerants and equipment than they ever would of got without Montreal. I'm hoping magneto-calorics take off. I will do chilled water all day long.

That's some quality low-tech construction there. I would be proud of that handiwork. EDIT: The fine gauge wire at the bottom acts as fusible links.

And lol if you think labor folks get any slack about parking illegally. Source: My boss crawling up my rear end every time I get caught.

Sagebrush posted:I remember seeing those advertised all over TV when I was a kid but I've never used one. Where do they fall on a scale of "works a little" to "doesn't work at all?" They work, until they break because you tried to use it with too much torque. The best application is when you have a lot of weird shape fasteners you need to unscrew, like wing nuts or square nuts.

Craptacular posted:What? Let's assume that all police were carrying smart guns. Non-smart guns would still be a thing; they wouldn't magically disappear all of a sudden. So how would the fact that the officer's primary gun is a smart gun prevent an officer from keeping a second drop gun to plant on someone? The idea is it would be part of a system with an always-running-while-on-duty body cam, GPS, and other metrics. It would make it harder (not impossible) for officers to falsify shooting incidents. Several have been caught already planting drop guns and drugs even with the basic bodycams in use today. That said, current biometric auth methods are a joke and are no where near ready for something as critical as life-safety of a firearm.

AlphariusOmegon posted:This thread is making me reconsider my desire to get into a trade. I was thinking about going to trade school for welding or HVAC but... I'd strongly prefer to not be horribly maimed because of my profession. Trades are as safe as you make them. The majority of accidents these days are from idiots not following safety procedure, or using PPE. Everything we post in this thread is for the most part exceptional. You should avoid the trades for other reasons, for example long term repetitive stress injuries, retirement is a joke, your coworkers are idiots, regular layoffs, and the fact that labor is probably the weakest it has ever been in this country*. *Merica. I'm sure Aus and europe arent much better.

SpaceCadetBob posted:The backbreaking nature of trades can also be mitigated partially , but to do so you have to find a company that values that. The amount of power tools available to basically make any job painless exist, they just need to be utilized. This is the true secret of the trades. For every guy turning wrenches theres a dozen people pushing paper and moving material, that get paid ok and don't necessarily need a bachelors. Working a plumbing supply counter, doing manufacturer sales/training/support, there are a lot of adjacent opportunities where you can do ok. Myself, i do hvac for now but want to get into building automation, as i am one of the few in my peer group not terrified of touching computers.

I'm not surprised by the firefighter stats at all. actual fire callouts have dropped massively over the last few decades. 90% of fire department responses are EMS calls at the same time , firefighting science and training levels have risen, and the formation of specialty teams for crap like technical rescue and wilderness search means you aren't just shoving bodies at problems.

Probably because both spacecraft were being concurrently developed as fast as possible by two different teams in two different companies on two different sides of the country. The emergency adaptation procedure probably got developed after a test and training engineer at nasa got a look at both scrubber canister types and realized it might be a problem. Remember the first manned Apollo flight went up in October of '68. The deadline was December '69. the LEM didn't fly until march of that year. Having two teams go back and redesign poo poo that already works is not a great use of brain time. Then you have to build, test, and rework the hardware you already built.

Piss Meridian posted:love to use mechanical relays on my essential infrastructure. When do you think that control system was implemented? electro-mechanical relays are very reliable, and until very recently much more tolerant of errant voltages and currents than their solid state equivalents. they are a wear item, but that is what inspection and preventative maintenance programs are for.
