bandman posted:This is why (generally) these type of companies have good, well-documented safety procedures and they don't put up with morons or tough-guy/cowboy bullshit. Interesting post, thanks for the insight. I've always been curious about the typical jobsite attitude where the workers seem to know and follow all of the safety restrictions, even if mocking the rules and following them sarcastically. You don't want to be paint a target on your back or be the guy who costs your company a bid down the line. My father is a retired union electrician, and I know one of things he definitely doesn't miss is standing around not doing work because the safety regulations stated that he needed so-and-so many other team members and representatives around just for him to climb a ladder and push a button.

atomicthumbs posted:What's so bad about three-phase power sitting around? Three phase power isn't the issue when done properly, but arc flash is a scary thing. That, and the general state of the transformers + the way the connections used to be done into the disconnects was... interesting. It was more the general lack of respect and disregard for safety procedures (yes, you need to LOTO the 600V/3P panel before working on it, oh wait holy poo poo it's still live my god what are you doing) than anything else. It will kill you if you gently caress up. Plus all the stuff STR said. We manufacture equipment that winds up on industrial sites around the world, so there's just about every type of transformer out on the floor. The shop is significantly better than when I started, mainly because we're bidding on high dollar value work that typically requires very good safety records / policies / procedures / etc. before you're even allowed to bid. Arc flash is scary though, now whenever I throw a disconnect I do it with my left hand standing beside the disconnect, never in front. Always throw a disconnect with your non-dominant hand, so that if it explodes you've still got your dominant one!

I haven't been in probably five+ years. I will probably start going again (as in, maybe a few times a year) once my daughter is a bit older since I think she might get a kick out of it all the same. Galler: In this case, at least when I last went, trailers were heavily frowned upon, at least partially due to how much parking they take up from other businesses.

I have no idea who this guy is but he's got alberta plates so would't "oil money" be the assumed source of funds? Or at least other people with oil money, willing to spend it on retardedly done-up supercars? I mean there's always these amazing cars on kajiji I see the alberta guys posting in the craigslist gold thread, I just assumed it was because there were so many people with oil money. I certainly met more than one 20something male who was into hot cars or racing when I lived in Calgary, and they all seemed to have money stemming from the oil business in one way or another (petroleum engineer, businessperson for oil company, oilfield worker, or just straight up oil money.) Of course most of the oilfield workers just build brotrucks. wilfredmerriweathr fucked around with this message at 01:41 on May 13, 2014 |

 Veganism and SUVs; you shouldn't eat meat but hey never mind the poisoning of the atmosphere.  Generally speaking if you get a boot at the university parking lot, it is probably because you have other tickets owning. The funny thing is that the owner showed up later with a friend who was driving a Honda NSX, arguing outside of it on the phone with whoever--assuming security.

Figured this series should go here, maybe get kastein to sperg about it. I wasn't able to spend too long taking pictures, since the guy who owned it was inside the office to the left in the first one, and I didn't want to have to explain to a bro why I was taking pictures of his Jeep while giggling and shaking my head slowly.        Granted, I don't know all that much about offroad suspension, so this might be okay. Considering how worn the tires were and the splashes of muddy water (or rust) on some parts, it might work just fine, and just look like poo poo, in which case, carry on.
