A long time ago I heard about some kind of scam or recycling thing where people would make a single functional car out of two cars that had been in wrecks by cutting off the damaged sections of both and welding them together. This reminds me of that and why it is such a horrible idea.

Real Drop Bear PPE has a closed face helmet and neck protection. Those bastards are vicious and will tear your face right off. Goggles won't save you.

A good prank though. Not our fault you lot can't tell the difference between them and a Koala, and it neatly avoids the dangers of a Drop Bear that has made a fresh kill and gotten its blood up, not to mention the retaliation of the janitorial staff who have to deal with the mess afterwards.

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. :yum:
Looks like it is actual fuse wire. I still have some of that poo poo myself because my previous apartment was ancient and I had to do it manually to fix things up after they blew on the rare occasions they did.

The first time I had to ask my elderly neighbour of the time for help because I had absolutely no idea how to deal with the damned thing was (And was disinclined to learn by simply loving around) and he gave me a quick primer on how to fix the damned thing and what I should be doing to do it all safely and effectively, even gave me some spare wire he had in the right sizes and told me which was for which fuse. They were good people. The fuse box in question consisted of removable ceramic blocks and a wire you'd stick through a hole in it and secure to the electrical contacts on the top.

The other fuse related story I have is from a few years back is that my oven developed a fault where it would, after heating up to some unknown point in use, develop a short that prevented it from switching off. The controls would be utterly ineffective but me being too poor to replace it at the time and also having a powerful need to not starve to death would have to use the damned thing anyway.

I would therefore switch the thing off by yanking its fuse out of the fuse box. After it had cooled down the controls on the oven would, once again, work properly. If I didn't wait for it to cool it would just switch back on if I did that. Unfortunately the people who designed the place decided that it would have to be in the most inconvenient place possible so I would have to stand on a chair by the sink so I could reach the top shelf of the raised cupboard where it had been set at the back and down the bottom of the shelf, just for the reasons of making my life difficult.

(It has since been updated to a modern set of circuit breakers, thank gently caress)

Fake edit:

I guess I do have another fuse story after all back from when I was a kid. A few months after my family had gotten a kitten, said kitten decided that she took personal affront to my fathers stereo and pissed on it while he was using it, and blew the power to the entire house. The cursing he got up to while digging around in the houses fuse box was amusing. I sided with the kitten: My father has poo poo taste in music and she was fluffy and cute.

Disneyland’s People Mover had a maximum speed of 2 miles-per-hour. The ride’s seemingly harmless speed probably contributed to the fearlessness and carelessness that killed the following passengers.

On August 21, 1967, 17-year-old Ricky Lee Yama was crushed to death while riding on the People Mover. Ricky decided that he would jump in between two of the moving cars just as the ride was entering a tunnel. Sadly, he missed, fell onto the tracks and was run over by an oncoming train. The ride had to be taken apart to remove his body. On June 7, 1980, Gerardo Gonzales decided he would duplicate Yama’s fatal stunt. As the People Mover was entering the SuperSpeed Tunnel, Gonzales jumped between cars and fell onto the track. The oncoming train crushed Gonzales beneath its wheels and dragged his body a few hundred feet down the track before coming to a stop.
I know this is tragic and all, but I really have to admire Gerardo Gonzales' dedication to accuracy.

I absolutely believe it, especially after this weekend. A guy across the street was removing some palm trees from his lawn and he decided to just tie his truck to the tree by a tow strap and yank it out. I took video and I'll upload it once I can stitch the clips together.

Strap came off the truck at least 6 times because he just had it looped around the tow hitch instead of tied on. When he was having trouble pulling from the base he looped the strap around the top of the tree, immediately causing it to pull off over the top (like taking a scrunchie off your ponytail) as soon as it went slightly horizontal. He did this 3 times before realizing his mistake. When the trunk started breaking instead of pulling out by the roots, he went into his garage and came back dual wielding a reciprocating saw and a beer to try and cut the trunk.

By the time he actually had the tree out, there was a stump surrounded by broken wood and a massive patch of bare dirt on his lawn and he had torn the poo poo out of his grass with his tires from the constant pulling and shifting position. He ended up just staring at the scene with a beer, right in the middle of the road, like he was contemplating suicide.
To be fair. I've had to remove a couple of palm trees in the past (From my fathers backyard) and they are utterly obnoxious to get the bloody root ball out. He'd have been better off chopping the thing down, then smashing through as much of the roots with a mattock as he brought out the car.

In all seriousness, if you have to deal with something like that, spring for the heavy machinery you need unless you are a masochist or it is in an utterly obnoxious place (And in the latter, consider fire or explosives).

I had to mattock around the damned thing to get under the root ball, then slam this long metal rod in under it with a sledgehammer and work it around to break the roots gradually since we had no proper tools for the job and my father refused to go looking for any.

I then injured myself in a semi-unrelated incident which caused an abscess which led to me getting sick with some nasty cough that lasted eight months and destroyed my voice within four and had my voice only gradually and slowly return starting with the lower pitches and going towards the higher ones, which for the longest time caused trouble speaking since my voice would just cut out mid sentence when trying to make certain tones or words. That year really sucked.

So, uh, spoilers, but later he chops off the tip of a finger, and instead of humbly accepting that he should have been more careful and safety conscious all along, he goes on this rant about how "the world is too safe today" and "children should learn by chopping off more fingers" and "my only regret is that I have but ten fingers to give to the cause". And this goober takes volunteers to work for him for weeks on end! At the time he was even talking about taking hired help. Were they supposed to chop off their fingers to learn too?

I am where I am because I stand on the shoulders of giants. Not because I need to figure out everything from first principles myself, and run face first into every issue along the way.
It's interesting because I just watched that video and absolutely none of what you said is true. He commented that he thinks people have become too risk averse these days and goes on to explain what he means by risk and learning from it, and that a finger is a price he's willing to pay for it. I don't know what took the tip of the finger off, but he stated it wasn't the shipsaw or another saw.

I don't mind a bit of hyperbole, but this sounds like the kind of take you'd get from Fox news.

Still, that part where the dude describes what he built his sawmill rig out of:

"So there's parts of five forklifts, nine semi trailers, ol' sawmill parts, military hobart welder, parking lot sweeper, fertilizer spreader, and god knows what else."

Other people have chimed in on this, but to explain further, there are three types of radiation:

Alpha particles are literally just helium without the electrons. They don't travel far, and they lose their energy quite quickly, which renders them harmless in most scenarios (don't eat something that emits alpha particles).

Beta particles are electrons/positrons. Again, the initial emission is dangerous, but after that they just behave like any other bit of matter and do their thing normally.

Gamma rays are similar to x-rays in that they are a type of electromagnetic radiation (similar to light). They are harmful until they are absorbed, which is typically done by lead or some other dense material.

The point here is that once radiation actually interacts with something, it's no longer dangerous, as the dangerous part of the radiation (the energy) has already been absorbed. Alpha particles just become helium, beta particles become electrons, etc. Something is only radioactive if it emits radiation, and things that absorb radiation do not themselves emit radiation or become radioactive.

Now, in the case of nuclear fallout or other accidents, the danger is that particles that emit radiation are thrown into the air, which then can be breathed in. At that point you have radioactive material in your lungs that is emitting radiation directly into your tissue, which is very very bad.
You left out Neutron Radiation, which is absolutely horrible since it irradiates everything nearby though it has its uses in imaging.

As the joke option, Neutrino Radiation is another type that no one thinks or cares about because it is so weakly interacting that the only way to suffer a lethal dose of it would be to be inside an exploding star.

As an adult, the worst I have done to myself in a kitchen was slice the very tip of a finger off while cutting a capsicum in half (Bell pepper to you american weirdos). I bandaged it, then stretched an old plastic bag over it and secured it with a rubber band before finishing my food prep (To keep blood out of my food. Hygiene is important). Before this comes off as me being some kind of tough person, I was swearing the entire time.

As a kid, I was extremely young and pulled a pot of hot water off the stove and onto me. My mother ripped my shirt off over my head, getting the water off me before I could burn all over, but I have a scar just above my left elbow joint where water actually made contact with skin and burned me.

Sometimes that's not enough. I had to do that for a recalled dehumidifier once but one of the junk trucks which roam the neighborhood snagged it not three minutes after I set it out for the city's appliance recovery folks to pick up.

I am absolutely certain that they just stuck a new plug on it and resold it since they were looking at the cut cord very intently and checking over the whole thing. Should have glued one of these on it I guess.
When I did volunteer work at a St Vincent de Paul charity store, electricals that were obviously bad or had failed when tested by the electrician went in the dumpster after having the cords cut right at the base so there was nothing left to splice to.

We also had to repeatedly run people off from diving our dumpster for stuff because yes, while there may well have been stuff in there that was salvagable with a good deal of laundering, there was also a shitload of broken glass in there. We often had to lay a great big board of wood almost as big as a table top in there so we could stand on it as we used our weight to crush the contents down.

On the subject of sorting donations, that was potentially dangerous as well. There are far too many things to list so I'll simply say that if you could put a knife in something, we probably found a knife in there while sorting at one time or another.

I want to know more about this one. What precludes you from being rescued? Is the ship so big that nobody notices when you go overboard, or are you gonna get chewed up by the big props?
Three things:

1: It is an extremely long drop into the water. You are definitely going to be at least injured when you hit.

2: A large ship isn't able to stop and simply go back to get you. Once you're in the water you are going to be left behind simply because a ship has that much momentum.

3: Even if they do manage to come around, it'll be almost impossible to spot a person in the water especially since it'll take a while to get there.

Basically: If you fall off a large ship, you are probably going to die very quickly and help is going to get there very slowly, if at all. My advice is to not get on big ships and stay on land.

Finally you should check out First Dog as it's a good comic I like it very much.
