I have a lot of specifications stuck in my head from previous jobs. A fun one is that precast concrete bridge beams aren’t just concrete and rebar. They typically have a bunch (20-30 or more depending on size) of 13 mm steel cables that are each under about 13,000 kg of tension. The cables are pulled to a specific tension in the concrete form, the concrete is poured around them, then the cables are cut at each end.
A place I used to work had a similar problem with people flushing the wrong kind of paper. Turns out the company, which sold expensive charcoal grills, wasn’t putting enough tp in the employee bathrooms.
I keep asking myself how long it will be before there just aren’t any doctors willing to work in women’s healthcare. Because they are potentially getting threats from two directions: do they save a woman’s life and bring down the wrath of the law, or do they let her die slowly and painfully, bringing down a potentially much more immediate and messy wrath from distraught husbands and other family members?
I doubt many people are “PrO LiFe” when someone important to them is dying.
