Took me a while to figure out how the two locks on the bottom can unlock the gate.
This is not only funny but quite ingenious.
(Probably easier to have one lock and six keys though).
Knowing who opened the gate can be important.

That's my personal hell, unless there is a band. I can handle crowds for a band, but I still don't have to talk to people.
Drizzle it with olive oil, wrap in bacon, gril it and add some Romano and black pepper so it doesn't taste like asparagus anymore.

Sad enough.
Some of the Kardashians rear ends could function as moons, I guess.
How we made these idiots "a thing" is beyond me.
Maybe I need to join Tiktok.
The good news is, eventually the Kardashians will age out.
Maybe we'll have a "golden girls" version before too many years.
Tesla had very little to do with the war of the currents; that was a matter for the business folks, Edison and Westinghouse. Westinghouse was a smart inventor and brilliant business man. Edison was a brilliant inventor and business man. Tesla was a brilliant engineer and inventor. None of them was a scientist. Tesla did not create AC, the AC generator, or the transformer. He invented the distribution system based on upsizing the generators, transformers, etc. A terrific feat of engineering.Westinghouse only Financed Tesla, did not create it. Oh, yea, Edison didn't invent either
This way you can always tell who left it open.(Probably easier to have one lock and six keys though).

Generally, you are supposed to have ALL locks prevent an unlocking. If all of them can allow a guy to turn on 12,500V on the others, the locks aren't helping much.View attachment 643432

Depends if you're limiting access to any of several people or locking out equipment for work. Lockout/tagout equipment is set up so you can have multiple locks and all of them have to be off before the [switch/valve/whatever] can be operated.

Each owner of a shared property supplies their own lock. If the gate is open when it shouldn’t be you know who is responsible.

The entire idea with lock-outs is to prevent anyone else from turning on the piece of equipment you are working on.
A lockout that allows anyone to re-energize the system would be an issue.

What I'm getting at is that the gate lock above isn't a lockout like you'd use for a machine. It's sort of the opposite--a means of providing access to many people individually. In more formal logic, the gate lock is an OR function since it can open with any individual lock removed. A machine lockout should be an AND function, where all locks have to be removed before opening. Different approaches for different purposes. And no, I wouldn't stick my hand into a machine locked out by the gate lock!

Westinghouse (AC) and Edison (DC). Who is the guy that got replaced?
The guy who invented the self driving car.
With his name on it.

But this way, you can always tell who forgot to put the lock back on.View attachment 643432

Before lawyers we could drive across the spillway of a dam NE of Phoenix. On the gate there was a chain of many locks linked together plus some real chain.
The secret was there was a key on top of the post.

Don't know if this is true but I'll go along with it.
