The pour point of canola is -9c, which means when a container of it is tipped that's the point where it doesn't even move anymore. I'm not for sure that's what caused it to strip the thread, it's just plastic after all. I didn't notice the temps when it broke, but it does hit -40 here on...

Have they not retrofitted these historic places with sprinkler systems yet?

Yup. This could be one of the biggest advancements in decades, pretty cool.

They've started human trials of turning lymph nodes into livers, negating the need for a transplant. https://www.popsci.com/health/grow-second-liver/

Had a wedding yesterday, i drove so the wife could have some fun. Then the cats caught a mouse last night, and from what i could tell they divided it up so they all could play with it, so that was fun to clean up this am :lol:

I was kinda confused about that :lol:

No pics, it's a little makita xcu04, fixed it this last fall/ early winter

I didn't run mine dry, and it's just a little abs plastic worm screw. I've since started cutting the canola with acetone and that seems to be the ticket here. I also keep everything in an unheated garage, so it's basically asking it to gel.

Yup, there's standards for this especially for the European rating, it's basically a pretty long factor 2 fall (rope stretched above and falls 2 rope lengths, aka worst case scenario) with the expected size of a climber, done repeatedly until the rope breaks. The rope then has a number of falls...

If they were that desperate i don't see why someone didn't just cut it down themselves?

Drop tests are performed to ensure that climbing gear can withstand shock loading and not kill you, pull tests determine the breaking strength, which is used in the working load calculation. Isn't that what you meant?

Absolutely, force=mass x acceleration =mass x velocity ^2. Double the velocity you quadruple the force, the same force is needed to break stuff as the slow pull but it's possible with far less weight. Depending on the material and how big the shock load is the force could not have enough time...

There's always a doubting wife there to film it and scream :lol: what in the world was the crowd of people one? That was nuts

If i only had that back in my counterstrike days back at U of Illinois! Yeah that's overkill for most stuff, but for serious gaming that's where it's at. The guys in the room next to me with a shared bathroom (dorm) were both amazing at it, and were in the invite only leagues, right below doing...

Why not just demand it done for the sale to go through tho?

My luck i would trip and spike my head on it or something. Years ago (before i was born i think) we had an ironworker fall from height here into some rebar on a bridge job, terrible to even think about :( that's why they require those rubber end stoppers on them now, at least pad the pointy...

Yeah i get spam texts all the time, either wanting to build me a website, join some Angie's list type thing, or to call them back at a different number than what they texted me with.
