I once had a similar problem with cats.
Someone mysterious felon was pooping on your cats? Did you set up a camera?

My snorting disturbed 3 cats in their nap.

A feline felon, even?

I once had a similar problem with cats. I hate cats.
A cat taped you pooping on a car?

P2P, use it already.
What you gonna do about it, bub?
I don't know, let's ask her

She ignores you and continues purring. Good choice, Bub.

She ignores you and continues purring. Good choice, Bub.Thoughts in order:
- What's that sound?
- Aww. It's purring. Adorable.
- Still adorable
- Still adorable.
- Well that was an adorable minute.
- AN HOUR OF A CAT PURRING?! WHY?!

a guy he knew had a split develop in his acetylene tank, and just used the welder to braze that split shut, and nothing bad happened.
If the tank split, the tank is empty, although I'd want to make sure any residue of both the acetylene and acetone1 were gone before I started welding. The repair should withstand the pressure easily enough. The acetylene tank, when full, is at relatively low pressure, about 300 PSI (2 MPa) (compared to the oxygen tank at 3000 PSI (20 MPa)), although I'd think that would make the welding supply store be reluctant to exchange it2.
1 A tank of acetylene contains acetylene dissolved in acetone. Not dissolved in acetone, acetylene becomes violently unstable above 15 PSI (100 kPa).
2 Like buying propane for your barbecue (at least commonly in the US), you bring in your empty tank and give it, along with some money, to the store, and they give you a full tank; eventually, they get around to filling it, and give it to the next guy.

Well, I was told it was still under pressure. Of course, you know how third-party stories are ...and how amazing they are ...but just the thought of welding on an acetylene tank gives me the willies. Much less acetone, which is bad enough (Youtube).
I'd think that would make the welding supply store be reluctant to exchange it
Ummm...yeah, I'd hope so. With a response something like, "Are you insane?"
Not only does the tank have acetone and acetylene in it, but it there is (must be) a filler that the acetone is soaked into, in order to isolate the acetylene from shock, which can start an explosion just the same as (ahem) excessive heat. (Acetylene self-decomposes and can explode without an oxidizer.) Without the acetone liner, acetylene is very dangerous above about 50 PSI.
(cutaway view)(The tank suppliers are not supposed to reuse the tank if it has an obvious dent.)
-
Interesting. I'm not sure if I'd ever seen a cutaway drawing of a tank before. I suspect these days they use something other than asbestos, but I don't know.
The cylinders come in more than one size, of course. That's a #5, but there's a discrepancy between that drawing (225 cu. ft.) and what my local supplier's web site says (300 cu. ft.). The sizes go from the #5 down to a MC (10 cu. ft.), which is the size that's used in portable kits like this.
Without the acetone liner, acetylene is very dangerous above about 50 PSI.
For safety, the pressure is kept well below that. The output of the regulator (which, of course, is no longer in the tank with the acetone) shouldn't go above 15 PSI.
-
cutaway drawing of a tank before
Yes, we tend to think of tanks as a big hollow space, big deal! But some tanks can get nasty complex.
Such as the Apollo CSM oxygen tank, which is also interesting (this was the updated version):

Yeah, cryogenic temperatures, the extra-strong oxidizing ability of liquid oxygen and the environment of space do add a few extra variables, I suppose. :)
-
I can't even tell if there's a game in there.
It feels like a virtual art installation.

Car gets shat on once: "Those crazy kids!"
Car gets shat on twice: "Gosh, what a prank!"
Car gets shat on thrice: "Well I'll just clean that off!"
Car gets shat on 4 times: "Oh dearie me!"
Car gets shat on 5 times: "Ah well!".
Car gets shat on 6 times: "Good job rain is forecast!"
Car gets shat on 7 times "THIS IS AN OUTRAGE WHERE IS MY CAMERA!?".

The article itself is a good idea. It's satire about awarding an art prize to ISIS:
“In destroying this ‘art’, the Islamic State has liberated it from bourgeoise, middle class concepts of ‘beauty’ and invited us to examine pig ignorance as an artistic expression in itself,” said Serota, while being held at gunpoint by the Islamic State winning team.
Honestly, what they do is more interesting than a lot of modern art. If nothing else, the observer is more likely to care about WTF is going on.

Ah yes, the younger cousin of "dialog box pops up as you're typing and hit space."
I always love it when that happens.

I remember seeing a proof-of-concept for an arbitrary code execution vulnerability in Firefox a long time ago where a webpage would tell you to type a certain word into a text box and it would pop up a "by the way, can we have shell access?" in the middle of the word and the last few letters would be the keyboard shortcuts for "yes".

Evil idea: charging MORE for companies to buy their own companyname.sucks domain than for unrelated parties to buy it.
Companies with registered trademarks will have to pay an astounding $2,499 to register their trademarked names in .sucks. Registration of non-trademarked names during the "sunrise" period (March 30 until June 1) before .sucks goes live will cost at least $199 per name, while the standard registration fee after June 1 rises to $249 per name.
-
the good ideas thread is.......
nope couldn't keep a straight face!
-
I like their style. Do they have any openings?
And do I have to wax my twirly mustache before the interview?

According to your quoted bit it sounds like you need to pay the high amount for a registered trademark, wouldn't that mean that anyone that wants to camp a name would also need to pay the high price?
-

Yes. They're not charging companies more to get their own trademarked name, they're charging everyone more to get any trademarked name.
-
Then wouldn't that be a good idea not an evil one?
-
Yes indeed.

Reckon we could get enough money together for
discourse.sucks
? Kickstarter maybe?Or, go budget and get
dischorse.sucks
.

Where's that page again?
Or, go budget and get dischorse.sucks.
While I appreciate the idea, surely we have to go for brand recognizability.

Ah, drat. I misread that due to the next paragraph implying the opposite:
Companies are typically hyper-sensitive about brand usage, and few will want their .sucks domains under someone else's control. The .sucks pricing scheme has led to outrage from many quarters, with MarketingLand’s writeup quoting several industry figures who use words like "extortion" and "predatory."

just the thought of welding on an acetylene tank gives me the willies.
I used to work at a company where our safety officer used to work in the petroleum industry. When they have issues inside of a petrol storage tank, they put a diver in a special dry suit made to withstand submersion in petroleum products and he goes in to the tank and welds while the tank is full to the brim. It sounds absolutely ludicrous, but it is the safest way to do it as if they drain the tank they would basically never be able to get rid of the fumes. It is safer to weld a tank while it is full of gasoline than to not.
Kind of amazing what is possible.
-

Well, as has been pointed out in the past, and as @locallunatic is so kind to remind us, Discourse is not an active registered trademark.
So yes, I'm sure we could scrounge up $199.

In hindsight, this might have been a better idea than cups.

That would have been awesome. Instead of buying mugs with @wood's money, we bought discourse.sucks. How poetic.
Is it too late for a refund on custom printed mugs?
Yes, of course it is. But a man can dream.
