Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.

  • I picked up a glass tube straight out of a furnace, it wasn’t glowing but it was bloody hot. A few hundred Cs. For a few weeks my hand looked like that nazi guy from raiders of the lost ark, seared into a grasp shape. It was fairly painful. Luckily no scars.

    The danger of heat can’t be seen with eyes, it has to be learnt well for each situation.

    • Holy shit, that sounds awful. Glad you’re healed.

      We have an unwritten rule in the house that anything in the kitchen that’s hot from the oven gets a towel or mitt thrown over it, but I should have known better than to assume. All good now.
