Shit, I'm only in my early 40s and I'm feeling the pain of age.

As this is the random pictures thread, I present an image taken at a small grocery near me:

I laid down my motorcycle a few weeks back. I'm 50 now. When I showed one of my younger friends the injuries, he was like "damn, I'm not sure I could be walking around like that so soon". I told him that once you get used to a certain level of aches + pains all day, something little like dropping a bike is hardly noticeable on top of it

landing at Dulles is always rough due to the wind patterns. today winds are going to hit 60mph:

Report from pilot landing at Dulles in wind: 'Pretty much everyone on the plane threw up' | WJLA


A pilot who landed a flight at Dulles Airport Friday morning reports that "pretty much everyone on the plane threw up" during the windy descent.

"Very bumpy on descent," the pilot's report reads.

"Pretty much everyone on the plane threw up. Pilots were on the verge of throwing up."

The turbulence was the result of a powerful Nor'easter that has brought damaging wind gusts throughout the DC area Friday morning.

Because that requires understanding how a contactor works in the first place. The same employee tests for live voltage with a screwdriver and ground, instead of you know with a meter or something. We only have literally a couple hundred flukes laying around here. But who am I to judge.

Usually the guy who got the machine stuck will only make it worse. The one in the picture should have stopped way before this point and waited for help and certain supplies. But stupidity and stubborness seem to lay eggs and multiply between certain ears.

I've had to get them out and it is work.

sixshooter 03-06-2018 04:45 PM

Usually it involves 4 or 5 crane mats and shoving them beneath the tracks of the machine with the bucket while moving the tracks to get the machine up on them.



Here's one who is not stuck using them:

Nope. But about 4 years ago the area this equipment is located was sprayed down with a 13% sulfuric acid and deionized water mix for an unknown amount of time. What we do know is that it ended up being roughly 25,000 gallons based on what was lost. Since then this equipment and the surrounding equipment has been experiencing failures. We do know that corrosion was more than likely to blame. Now the story i got from the operator was a little different, something along the lines of "we were running it to hard(wrong load for the equipment), and it just stopped". There were(i don't know why i say were, there probably still isn't) no fuses / breakers inline to stop the equipment before the current draw got to high.

You assume incorrectly. Thats a hamper dumper frame for up to 1 ton hampers of mail/packages. It would likely hurt the operator and probably crush your box and the dildo inside, as well as the conveyor is usually feeds.

And here I thought stability testing on our cranes was sketchy. We are way over the rated load capacity here, for science.
https://images2.imgbox.com/ec/47/Ff7vLvdJ_o.jpg

What was just on our "baby crane" model. Backwards stability testing will make your butt pucker though. Putting a crane at 15-20° up a pivot is scary. Especially when the engineer before you turned one over because he had a brain fart and pivoted the upper while at that angle.

https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...f2722a5830.gif


okay.

typically to display an image in HTML code you use the <img> element tag. you give it a source attribute to link the image to display, and to be 508 compliant for people with special accessibility needs, it also must have an "alt/title" tag, which displays text when you hover over the image. A screen reader can read the text for them. This is standard web practices.

https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...dbc2e6feb1.png

the image will display, at full w x h.

I just ran across code the other day, where the developer placed an image on the left and right side of a column. instead of using an image element tag, he used div with a background image. Basically a div is a container for element, that you can style directly and the elements within are relative to it.

https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...e91462490e.png

as you can see here, there's no change to putting a img in a div.


but since you can style a div directly, you have the ability to add a background image to them -- sometimes this is useful -- especially on these new mobile websites that scroll for days. But some developers like to go overboard with it, and try to make divs display as an image.

https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...5cce0ebad8.png

as you can see here, I changed the IMG tag to be another DIV within the container DIV. I had to give the image DIV a classname [or id] of "fake-image" in order to find/select it later for styling. then in my css, you can see I set the background as the url for the mt logo. because the image is just a background image now, the div has no size, so I put inline styles on the div to force the width and height.this is incredibly sloppy coding to display an actual image element back to the user: A screen reader will ignore it, so you'll fail 508 testing. And mixing inline styles on the html code, AND a css file causes headaches if you need to make changes later, not to mention that it adds unnecessary lines of code.


The place I last saw this used was on a site banner, where the developer wanted to make the left and right edge "break" past the border for a graphic element. He mixed css and inline styles to do it and placed the images he wanted as divs as shown above and positioned them one either side of the containing div and used absolute positioning to have the beak the border of the div. It worked, but again sloppy code.

https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...8c85252e1d.png


here's how I would have done it:

https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...b07da439c8.png

Now the HTML is not cluttered with design/styling elements and I've only applied styles to the container class itself. I'm using :before and :after pseudo-tags on the container to have the browser render the pink boxes before and after a container class -- and I've positioned them all within the css.

I've got a set of those gloves. If i was doing anymore than tidying up and calibrating the unit i'd put more PPE on.
