PurpleXVI posted:I think my main question is "how do you train for wing-suit use"? Because I can't really imagine any way you could test it out without going whole-hog on the potential consequences. You jump hundreds or thousands of times with a chute. Then you practice open air squirrel suit. Then you start tempting fate. Then you're called an expert because noone else has jumped that many times without dying, because the ones who have are now dead. A bridge/rock ring out a sound never before heard. There's now a new expert in the field, waiting for his interview on how safe it is and the last guy just got unlucky.

Bertha the Toaster posted:Could be worse, when I worked at Maplin (think a crappier UK version of Radio Shack) I had a guy ask for the opposite. Something you could plug into a light fitting to get a socket you could then plug appliances into. I know people who have every bit of outdoor power from those adapters. They're commonly available at pretty much every home goods store in the states.

Sorry, seem fun. Sound is offensive. I used to work with a guy who wore safety glasses 24/7. Work, bar, working out, didn't matter. Finally he somehow managed to start dating a girl, and she convinced him he looked dumb as poo poo. So they went for a walk in downtown Tumon, GU and he left his safety glasses at home. Sea gull poo poo in his eye.

Ruflux posted:Breaking Bad deliberately got chemistry stuff wrong to prevent people from using the show as reference material. Or at least the writers claim they did, it's also entirely possible they didn't bother researching that stuff too deep since it literally doesn't matter and being too accurate might have legal implications. Probably also thinking of Fight Club, where they change bomb ingredients so no one would make one from the movie.

CRUSTY MINGE posted:I think antifreeze has a boiling point around 230-240°F alone, unpressurized, so mixed, it's somewhere in between. It's been a while since I thought about that, but you're right, it's higher with actual coolant than just water. 50/50 glycol and water is 265 under a 15 psi cap. Pure water with water wetter added is 250. Obviously sea level, ymmv, etc

Son of Thunderbeast posted:I'd load our Co-60 camera into a truck for transport to the job site. I can't find any pictures of what our cameras looked like, but they were big heavy boxes (like, about 3.5'x2'x2' IIRC) that weighed several hundred pounds because of the shielding (using layers of lead, tungsten, & depleted uranium). We used a (again, IIRC) 3mm Co-60 source for our exposures, cranked out from one of those giant boxes. Co60 cameras are loving giant. Last place I worked our vault was originally built for Co60 and all we had was small Ir192 sources so it was a massive vault for this tiny little camera.

Son of Thunderbeast posted:That's pretty awesome! I bet it contained the radiation pretty nicely. Our vault was just barely good enough for most of the x-rays we did. After stacking some cinder blocks around the outside of it we exposure was cut down to 2 mR/hr with the survey meters pressed against the bricks lol Oh yeah, we were at maybe .01mr/hr at the highest point running a 240kV xray. The ir sources (90 to 150 ci) didn't even measure above background, even when we had 2.

MisterOblivious posted:Yeah, it took us a long time as a species to realize that you have to train like it's a "real life" event, or people will act in "real life" like it's a no-consequences training exercise. It's amazing how many people sound like the lady from Police Academy when you start doing any kinds of drills. Just absolutely meek and quiet, and it has to be drilled in that when it really happens poo poo is going to be loud and chaotic, and you need to project over and through that.

deported to Canada posted:It may be that the states treat this as an entirely different beast. I'm ex-military and have had compulsory drug testing (yes where they stare at your pecker) and I get it, it needs to be done to catch those that are using and to deter those who may be tempted. Literally no one has said they're cool with people being hosed up on the job. But you shouldn't be unhireable because in your off time you smoke weed. I can get blackout drunk, drive in the next day and piss test, and be fine. But smoked a joint with a buddy two weeks ago? Obviously you're a menace to society.

Slanderer posted:Literally no one is arguing this so who cares The last goddamn sentence of the post I quoted was talking about not being hosed up on the job, and people are continually making that point, because there is zero justification for pre employment drug screens as they currently exist, beyond the usual purpose of adding a hurdle. Weird how salaried positions in the same companies rarely require one but hourly does.

CRUSTY MINGE posted:Batteries in the trunk tend to survive accidents better. It's a good move. People do it all the time to make room in the engine compartment for whatever poo poo they try to bolt on, I think some racing series require it be more internalized, with a cutoff switch. My wife has an Escape where the battery is under the windshield cowl. Book method is remove the entire windshield cowl, swap battery, reinstall and pray you get the wipers, etc all back on correctly. It's like a 3.5hr Book job. Or you remove the airbox and the front of the battery holder is held in with two clips and you pull it out the front, which takes about 30 minutes start to finish. Bless whoever invented ratcheting wrenches.

Jim Silly-Balls posted:Destin strikes me as a big southern churchie who’s got enough experience outside of the south to know he doesn’t want any of what he’ll get if he injects religion into his science channel. I'm not religious and didn't grow up in a strict house, but I definitely still called adults sir/ma'am. I still say them just nowhere near as seriously or as often. Same with using a Mr or Ms for someone, usually just because they're older (usually 60+) and well liked/respected, but I think that's more common in black (at least southern black) communities, which is where I spent most of my formative years.

It doesn't warn you that you're about to be in between merging vehicles, just that the bike lane ends. I love cycling and motorcycling but gently caress doing either in FL. As poster above said though Melbourne does have some nice lanes; I always rent a bike when we go down there.

Sininu posted:Are you sure about that price for a single plate? I used to operate the machines that prepared those metal plates for actual book and magazine printing and box of 50 plates was way under what you say one plate cost. I can't remember how much one box was exactly tho, it's been 2 years, but I knew it because you could very easily damage entire box of them if you made mistakes handling them. Yeah, and even those flexo plates aren't that much. Depending on manufacturer and the tech you're looking at 50 to maybe 200 per plate. They get shredded once the job is done. And flexo plates go bad when left out anyway. They're hardened with UV light (most commonly, anyway) and degrade when left in the open.

Coffee Sludge posted:Spent time in some shipyards when I was enlisted and seeing that picture I thought maybe a label like that would've saved the dude that picked up a source that was laying on the ground and put in his back pocket. The pictures they showed of the aftermath of that incident were horrifying. Dudes rear end literally fell off. If you're close enough to read that label you're already hosed if it's Co60. Ir192, with the small rear end sources the navy uses now, you may live. You're gonna be miserable, but probably alive for a given value of the word.
