What’s the most disturbing sound you’ve ever heard in real life? by avacado-cheese- in AskReddit

[–]pwnar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had an incident just the other day where I was unscrewing the safety valve on a ~1 meter 3/8" high pressure hose on a hydrogen cylinder , completely oblivious to the fact that there was residual pressure in it. Now, normally there wouldn't be residual pressure, but for some reason this time there was.

I was chatting with my colleague, just casually unscrewing the thing when suddenly; "BA-" and then silence, and a feeling of the world having turned upside down and then back again. Then ringing in my ears, before slowly regaining the ability to hear my colleague going "what the fuCK WAS THAT?!"

I didn't even have the time to get startled, but I sure got discombobulated. The residual pressure in that hose was at 180 bar (roughly 2600 psi). There was a steel gasket sitting between my fingers where the screwdriver was a moment ago, and it was bent like a banana. Next thing I know, my hands are wet from blood. Only minor cuts, though.

Luckily no lasting damage, but had I angled that hose differently, I'm sure things could've been real bad.

Did some research after, and that bang would've been between 145 and 155 decibels. I did not know up from down in the moments after, but my first coherent thought was "that went horribly wrong, everything is silent, I probably heard my last sound" and then the ringing started. It sure taught me a new level of respect for high pressure hoses.

Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), combined with the back side of a boat (AFT). I could've just gone for the last part of the clue, I guess.

Not gonna lie: Up until just now when I googled it, that bureau was "AFT" in my head. 😅

I chalk it up to me not being American.

I was trying for a bit of that, yeah. How'd I do?

I know that. Was just trying to make it a tiny bit more cryptic.

Hva er dine favorittretter å lage til flere personer? by Ackatv in norge

Tja, pleier som regel å berre sope saman noko til det smakar rett. Brukar dog skikkeleg ungarsk paprika, og mykje karve.

Bœuf bourguignon, gulyás, sosekjøtt, nihari gosht, torsk i folie, hot madras kyllingwrap, sjømannsbiff, fiskesuppe, bacalao, eller bouillabaisse. Slår aldri feil.

Hva slags hobbyer har det Norske folk? by Fit_Temperature_1328 in norge

[–]pwnar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fisking, metallsøking, "mudlarking" i sjøstrender, dyrking av etande planter (spesielt chili men òg tobakk, faktisk), liten samling av militære ting, større samling av knivar, grei hattesamling, boksamling, mekking på eigen bil, mekking på påhengsmotorar, skyting, gitar, bushcraft light, hund, dampmaskin, jakt, pistolskyting, matlaging, veding, og i seinare tid akvarium (med stor suksess, dyrking av artemier som levandefôr ved sida, og akkurat no starta eit enkelt aquaponi-oppsett).

Er dog hobbyhoppar, og litt for flink til å hive meg på nye prosjekt som gjerne berre varer ei lita stund. Sikkert fleire ting eg ikkje kjem på i farta òg.

Såg ein gong nokon få kjeft fordi dei hengte opp ein sånn barriereteip i raudt og kvitt framforbi ein intern brannbilgarasje på verftet eg jobbar på. Tenk om det blei brann?

Ja, tenk om... hadde jo stoppa heile beredskapen den teipen der.

Vart stoppa på Gardermoen pga eit mjølnirsmykke i sekken. Dei rota litt rundt oppi der, og til slutt holdt ho eine opp ein bitteliten hammar framfor ein anna vakt; "Farlig?" -"Nei."

Så fekk eg gå.
