As opposed to what happens when your drop your PC without vacuum tubes in it?
Does it just fire right up after you drop it? I think, vacuum tubes or not, dropping a computer is not a good idea.
That's why locomotives are required to have a clearly labeled "Fuel Cut Off" handle. Take a quick walk around the loco, and pull the handle. Isn't that what it's for?
Safety, schmafety....
Yes, certain of these big engines cannot use antifreeze, they have to use water. I believe it has to do with either the cylinder sleeve or the gaskets/seals in the engine.
A railroader friend of mine said his company had two engine blocks freeze and crack (and almost lost a third one) because of the water. See, the engines his RR uses have a 1500-watt heater and circulating pump that they will plug in when the engine is shut down at a yard or maint. facility. If there is no power for some reason, and it gets close to freezing, there is a safety valve that is supposed to dump the water out of the engine if it is about to freeze. Needless to say, the valve doesn't always work, and that's why they have two blocks to replace. Fun stuff!
Of course, this comes at a time when PA is advertising on TV to keep graduates in the state and try to reverse a 'brain drain'.
How can they expect to keep tech workers here without porn?
