Oh man, I am so happy I blocked that community months ago because I just have no interest in it or their diet.

Not who you responded to, but that’s an interesting source. I’m intrigued by a textile company claiming to be experts in lithium ion fires.

It sounds more like options for preventing a fire to spread. It’s also including CO2 extinguishers under “foam” which they very much aren’t, making me doubt the rest of their blog post.

Extinguishing fires can work largely in two different ways. Either by smothering a fire or by cooling a fuel below it’s flash point. Quite often they put out a fire by doing both. A fire that contains an oxidizer cannot be smothered, but smothering can help prevent other materials in a vehicle from being able to burn along with the batteries. Cooling down a large, vehicle sized lithium ion fires takes an incredible amount of water. However, the cells themselves contain so much energy that their failure produces more thermal energy than water is able to remove.

Is water the best to put out large EV fires? Nope.

Is water good at preventing fires from spreading? Yep.

Is water easily accessible and carried on every fire truck and engine and available through hydrants? Also yep.

A lot of agencies are including car sized fire blankets as well that help smother the fire some and make burnt/burning EVs safer for tow trucks to move to a safe locations where they can be left to burn out. Sometimes for over a month! You might see fire engines literally escorting tow trucks because even with the blanket and being doused with tens of thousands of gallons, it’s still at risk of reigniting during transport.

The other big issue that agencies are facing with EV fires is that the water used to suppress these fires essentially becomes hazmat. So there are issues with letting it just run off into the storm system or the environment.

Jury Nullification!!!

Seriously people. Know it! Use it!

Yea. If I remember my fires correctly, this one also has doors that opened into the theater so as mobs of people pushed to get out, the doors jammed and couldn’t be opened. It directly led to the regulation for outward swinging egress doors and “crash” hardware. Which are those bars on exit doors so in an emergency people can just crash into them and they open.

As someone else pointed out. The triangle shirtwaist factory fire.

But as another example of businesses doing shitty things that led to people dying. The Iroquois Theater fire in Chicago. They didn’t want poor people changing seats to nicer ones so locked the doors to those areas when the play started and they bribed people to not finish their fire safety equipment but still get approved to open. Hundreds died.

Does Halloween count?

I’ve done Johnny Depps character from fear and loathing in las Vegas for something

Nerdy from Jurassic Park.

Jack from The Titanic when I went to a haunted maze at the Queen Mary one year.

I cosplay as someone with their shit together most days.

“Politics has gotten way too lame,” he said, adding, “I’m not going to apologize for posting a joke, but I wish the best for Caitlin.”

Then get out of politics, you fucking weirdo.

On her computer, why not just use Thunderbird on it? Or even outlook, or whatever she likes. She just needs to pick the software.

On her phone, or even yours, why the stuff with accessing Thunderbird through vnc. Just add the server to whatever mail app on your phones?

If you want a web based thing, roundcube or sogo. But Thunderbird is gonna suck the way you are trying to use it.

Stupid rspamd default config on my server blocked an email confirming an order from rayban I guess because it was the first time it saw an email from them? Couldn’t even release it, which annoyed me greatly.

And it also put a confirmation from a hotel into quarantine because the resort didn’t have a valid spf record. But at least I could release that one.

I ended up making it much more permissive as a result. But it was super annoying.

$1000 is likely small claims court. At least where I was, no lawyers are allowed for small claims so the landlord would have to come to deal with it himself or a representative of the payment company.

Honestly, I think our regulations have gone a little too far. Requiring backup cameras and automatic braking systems sounds like a good idea, but now we can’t have a bare bones car.

Prices are up because there are so much additional shit they need to include. Personally, for a lot of my driving, all I want is a geo metro or similar shit box.

I mean, if I buy a two-seater convertible (if I can even find a new one) why does it need a backup camera? There isn’t even a back window!

For day to day driving, maybe not.

But if I’m trying to to break the back end out, engine brake downhill, or have a dead battery and want to pop the clutch to start it I really want a manual transmission or a sequential gearbox.

I also can rebuild a manual in my garage (and have) so I’m more comfortable with something I can easily service if I need to. I drive 20 year old cars and intend to keep them, and any other car we buy, on the road for decades to come.

What’s the torque band? Driving a diesel, it’s really high compression and torque is applied low in the rpm range. Gasoline is a lot lower compression and might be twice the rpm to get the most torque. Outside of that torque band and your using more fuel for less movement.

That’s when I stopped playing. I think I was an hour in before I got spotted and then wasn’t going to spend another 2 hours literally crawling.

If any of my reports told me they booked an appointment through the health care we provided and it was during the work day I’d just say okay, mark it out on your calendar as busy so I don’t bug you or expect anything from you during that time. If they need to account for all their time like some roles, bill it as admin time.

External locus of control.

Bad things in someone’s life is not their fault, but the fault of whatever scapegoat.

Can’t get a girlfriend? It’s women’s fault.

Can’t get a job? It’s illegal immigrants.

Can’t afford to do the things you like? It’s the government taking too many taxes.

Whatever problem someone has, they are looking to blame someone rather than make any changes in their own life.

Based.

It’s fucking annoying and adds literally nothing to the conversation.

They developed the rest of the farm.

I can’t imagine jail time for this, but then I also can’t imagine what it’s like to go through life losing your child and knowing it’s your fault.

To me, that would be literal hell to live with every day. No amount of jail time would come close to matching that torment.
