That's an analog phone line spliced into a cat 5 cable. It's a complete butcher job of a splice, but it's a perfectly appropriate use of the cable, and it probably works just fine. Since it's all low-voltage, there's no safety issue here unless someone trips over it.

Probably won't kill you but you still might get an unpleasant shock if the wiring is exposed. The DSL connection might be a little wonky too.

 It's important to use all the recommended safety gear when working with timber.

Those race car tires should have 1G of lateral grip, so even if the platform was vertical the car should have been okay.

I've decided to finally go back and read all the books I've never read but have meant to, and this weekend decided to pick up The Jungle. I nominate it for official thread book. I'm at the part where Jurgis gets work at the fertilizer factory and boy it is just not getting any better is it

Is the audio in that Mythbusters cement truck video legit or is it ADR? As many times as I've seen it I've always thought it sounded fake.

The noise of the explosion was so incredibly loud that it overwhelmed the microphone and that's all you got. You encounter the same thing pretty often with guns. I recorded myself shooting at an indoor range today and the noise on video was almost all the high tones and background echo that sounds nothing like the real thing. The real sound of a gun going off indoors is a very deep boom that thumps in your chest, and I've never once found a microphone that accurately picks it up. That explosion was probably very similar in tone, but loud enough to permanently break your ears at that distance.

 When I first saw this I thought it was some temporary thing to keep the wires up while they were working but nope, i't's been six months now since I first saw it. The bamboo poles aren't anchored or anything.

 copy / paste: When I went to work for a steel company in the mid 90's we got the lesson of not messing with train cars from an old timer that had been at the mill for decades. He had pictures and a story. The guy that had gotten coupled, stuck in the couplers of two connecting train cars, asked that pictures be taken and his mistake be used as an example for future workers. So the old timer had some pretty intense pictures. The first thing they do is set up a tent around you. Not a big tent, but enough to give you privacy, because as soon as those cars are uncoupled, you're dead. They tarp off the bottom of the coupler, so that you don't get the image that you're talking to just a torso. They ask who you want to see before you die, if you have a wife, a priest, co-workers or anyone else that you want to say your last words to. They also get a doctor on-site to administer drugs and final care to you. All of this happens very quickly, because you don't have a ton of time, but it is a slow death. The old timer had pictures of the guy coupled, the tent being set up, the coupler being tarped, pictures of the wife entering in tears, pictures of the wife leaving in tears and pictures of what happened after the guy was uncoupled. The one that got me was the picture of his kids talking to him through the tent side, he wanted to tell his kids he loved them one last time, but didn't want them to see him in that condition. It is not a user friendly experience. This guy got caught between the couplers because he thought he could beat a slow moving train car and against one of the train-worker's warnings, he gave it a shot anyway. He lost. When backing up a train with multiple cars, the cars can gain or lose speed quickly because couplers are not a rigid connection. It just so happened that he got in the middle just as the cars picked up a bit of speed, he hesitated and that was that. After you say your goodbyes, and in this instance, the doctor loaded the guy up with a bunch of morphine (or pain killers) and they uncoupled the train, at which point every internal organ that was where it was supposed to be when the train was coupled, slid out and onto the ground and half a torso dropped out. The old timer had pictures of it all, and during this class, everyone was either white as a ghost or dry heaving. It was silent and everyone was just listening to this older guy talk about losing his friend. The class did it's job. I'd hear the train bells and immediately be aware of where the train was, what it was doing and what my proximity was to train tracks. Even to this day, I give trains plenty of respect and the sounds of train bells make a shiver run up my spine. Even though everyone went through this class, someone still got coupled in the time that I was working there. I didn't see anything but the white tent, but knew exactly what was going on.

That a workplace has a standard procedure for what to do when someone gets cut in half tells me that there's got to be a better way. Is that guy in the gif doing things the way it's supposed to be? Are the people that get hurt getting in between the big bumper looking things sticking out or something else?

I'd argue that directly down the axis of travel (literally between the rails) of the big fuckoff train is exactly where you shouldn't be. I'd guess that the proper procedure is to gently bump into the next car and have a guy reach over the bumpers to attach the latch/collar thing he puts on, not have the train come flying in like that. But doing it right slows things down sooooo get in there, you big pussy.

Duct tape and cable-ties would have prevented that.

NSFW due to screaming profanity. Dude get's crushed between train cars, but they somehow get the cars stopped and pulled apart before he's strawberry jam. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Btr1wsEwTkE I looked up train couplers and there seem to be a million different things that exist to couple cars that do not involve a human getting between cars.
