The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) XXIX

Yeah I saw that thread. Decided to stick with the cable I got and not be jealous that I don't have the BT module that came out shortly after I picked up my cable

No reason to leave it in all the time. And it doesn't affect the fob while you're driving the car.

That is true. I drive the car so little, I wasnt even bothered to check for a dead battery in the fob for over a year.

Actually, it did start affecting mine. My car would randomly tell me the key wasn't detected - while driving. Not that I couldn't keep driving, but still annoying.

Yup I actually just disconnected mine too. I'll plug it in when I'm in the car if I'm going to use it, otherwise I'm taking it out.

Exciting morning. Looks like there was a big explosion at our facility last night. We're still determining root cause, but it looks like an electrician doing work for our facility inadvertently shut off the water cooling for our hydrogen furnaces, causing a water jacket failure. Steam pressure built up outside the retort, and actually blew a 1200 lb retort out of the ground, shattered every window in the department, and did a fair amount of damage to our recorders and various electrical systems.

Neat!

Wow! Nice.

One of my machining gigs was making electrodes for EDM machines. They are made out of graphite and we had a transformer over our four milling machines... about twice a year the graphite dust would build up and BANG! fireball flying It was right above our computers where we would do the CAD and programming. Knocked me off the chair one time, thought I was ded. Had to check to make sure my shoes were still on.

Somewhat related, at my last job, we machined titanium beams for the S92 helicopter for Sikorsky. My brother Dave was one of the machinists, and he'd been deburring the titanium, and was covered with titanium dust. Struck a spark with the grinding wheel. Most people aren't aware that titanium dust is highly flammable. He was briefly engulfed with flames.

Dave has this thing for attracting fire. When we did construction together, he set the fringe of his jeans on fire with a roofing torch. While welding a beam over head, he dropped enough sparks to burn through his boxers and do the "help help my pants are on fire" dance. Yesterday, he sends me a text. "I just set myself on fire again. Cutting through rebar with a grinding wheel."

*shakes head* Amazing he's still alive.
