Slack3r posted:One of my old bosses..... He had a 20 foot sailboat that sat outside for ~10 years. No tarp.. Leaking hatches. Had about 3 feet of GREEN nasty water in it when I was asked to tow it 100 miles from his lake place to our shop. I drained it in his driveway with a 12V bilge pump and hauled it back on rotten tires. It looks like a MacGregor, itīs a POS trailerable thatīs marketed to fratbros and morons. Babyīs first (crappy) sailboat. The sides are so thin that you can push them in just by leaning against it. And the guy that said that boats are a hole you throw money in is pretty much right, i have seen million dollar yatchs rot beyond repair in just a couple of seasons because rich idiots canīt be bothered to read the owners manual and have no idea how to winterize and store their boats.

Everything about it is perfect: the way the dude goes down like a log, the woman in the pink bikini bouncing around everywhere, the yellow bikini woman's glasses boomeranging around; they couldn't have done better even if it was on purpose somehow.

Genuinely curious, not being a dick Standing under a suspended load is the big one, safety is taken very seriously in mining in Australia. The guy filming it stood there and let it happen without telling them not to, that's just about as bad. I heard about three contractors that were fired from a mine in Tasmania because they were in a company vehicle and drove it from one side of a carpark to another without putting their seatbelts on. It sounds ridiculous, but there's seriously no room for error. The penalty for safety failures on a mine site is generally a body count. The Chinese coal mining industry is a great example of what not to do.

There was also an incident in the US where a firetruck involved in an Ice Bucket Challenge contacted an overhead high voltage line which sent a few firefighters to the hospital for electric shock, and one died. You would think firefighters, of all people would be conscientious about not hitting power lines with their big trucks.

You may have to zoom in, but if you look closely you'll see a guy napping on a fold-out lawn chair on this crane: I took this picture a few months ago, from a 21st floor window of an office in downtown Chicago. A girl at the same office took a similar picture and shared it on Facebook. Through her friends, it got back to the site owner. Three people got fired.

That's like the third time this week I've seen videos of birds attacking people, and its usually in Europe. Are the birds just assholes over there or what?

That's an Australian magpie. It's spring here, so they're getting territorial about their nests. Expect more videos as this poo poo will just keep happening for the next couple months.

IF you're seeing them from Australian, then yes, they're arseholes. Magpies are basically just a pack of ornery pricks that decide that everything is a threat to their nests in breeding season. I've seen one that constantly swooped passing cars.

Count Uvula posted:Looks kinda like it has orcha whale markings, in which case it's more like "nearly eaten by a giant intelligent sharkdolphin." Many sharks have a similar coloring, i.e. dark on top, light on the bottom, to blend in with their surrounding depending on which angle it is seen from. Plus it has a vertical caudal fin, and a notch in the upper fin lobe seen in the gif, definite shark traits.

That's an Australian Magpie. They're smart, hate people during spring and they teach each other who to hate. It's been proven that they hold grudges and communicate this to other magpies.

I just moved house, and it appears the magpies were fed by the previous residents. drat near had a heartattack when 3 of them came swooping in at me only to air-brake and land on the fence and hop along the top squawking at me until I threw a chip.

Humphreys posted:This. Anyway one time me and a friend were at a KFC, and he was throwing chips around but nothing too serious, just into plants and out the window and poo poo. So anyway I throw one down the stairwell just as this Magpie slut is coming up and it hits her smack in the face. So she starts Chirping on and this Magpie guy comes charging up the stairs towards me ( I assume its her boyfriend) he comes up and starts getting in my face saying "WHY? WHY YOU THROW CHIP? HUH?" and I said some lame response like "Oh, well I meant to just throw it down the stairs and she walked into it". So he does this little thing where he turns away like he's going to walk off, and then spins around and goes to punch me in the face, he's much shorter than me so instead he just flies into shoulder. Next thing I'm punching into his beak and the top of his head (he's going down into a crouch) and my friend comes in with his knee and starts kneeing him in the face, then I lifted him up by his little feathers and slammed the back of his skull into a supporting pole. Meanwhile his girlfriend and some old bird bitch are jumping all over us chirping on in birdspeak or whatever, screaming at the top of their lungs so the whole of the kfc runs over to watch. Then this big black security guard chick (!) comes over and starts throwing her weight around wanting to know what's going on, I look down and the Magpie dude is sitting on the floor holding his face which is dripping blood, so I run the gently caress out of the shop and down the road a fair bit, I expected my friend to follow or someone from the kfc to give chase, nothing happened neither my friend nor security people followed. So I cautiously walk back to see what the gently caress my friend is doing and I see he's in there with 2 security guards trying to restrain him, and he's still trying to have a go at the Asian guy, and pretty much everyone in the shop yelling "COME ON THEN!!! loving COME ON!!!" at the top of his lungs. Needless to say he's a bit of a psycho, he goes a bit crazy when he gets into a fight. So I go to the door and yell out "hey, fuckin come on man" and comes running out and we take off down the road. Next thing we hear some sirens so we pissed off down into the train station. Fun. And I didn't even get to finish my dinner
