Is it somehow really common to have access to electricity but not running hot water in China? I'm struggling to see why you'd want something like that in the first place, even if it wasn't that likely to murder you horribly.

I work 3rd shift til 6am, have an hour commute home and typically try to get in bed by 8am. There's a company wide mandatory training meeting about safety that I'm required to attend at 7am for 4 hours after my normal shift. The other 2 shifts have classes scheduled during their work hours.

I'm a bit frustrated. It'll be a fun drive home.

i worked with a tiny chinese man like 5' he would crawl inside animatronic dinosaurs for hours at a time and come out covered in raccoon poo poo and high as gently caress on chemicals, he wore the cutest onesie it looked like pajamas. he was always so happy probably made bank here. my job was to stand around and look official and smoke a cig with him between dinos and fetch different size ladders. once he cut a hole at the rear end of the really big dino (triceratops?) and an hour later poked his head out and smoked a cig in plain view of a bunch of european tourists. we all had a hoot

i called him mr. chan for the whole week he was there because my manager called him that. he would just smile and nod. in fact that's all he ever did. smile and nod and occasionally say yes while smiling and nodding. sometimes he would crack joeks in mandarin and slap me on the back and smile and nod faster. turns out his name wasn't even close to mr. chan. he never cared. i miss mr. chan i wonder what he is doing now

You can dispel it by shouting this enchantment:

Eighty-seven! Pickup!
Fifty-two! Open!
Fault, begone!

Eighty-six! Pickup!
And do not return!


This is some basic but important electromancy. If your equipment is protected with an enchanted SEL relay, you should also shout "Assert! Assert!". If you have a cursed GE Multilin relay, throw it out and replace it with an enchanted SEL relay.

The BRCT came because I explained how British porn laws are dumb, but not dumb in the way the internet hivemind thinks, but that nobody will change them because the tabloids will crucify them.

(Admittedly this was in the middle of a mini-meltdown where I was going against another part of the internet hivemind about surveillance powers but as I was specifically saying that they should be changed and the BRCT mentions how it's too hard to change things I assume someone objected to that part, because drat nerds love their porn).

Charlie talked to us at work. Third-degree burns sure are a thing. :gonk:

One of the lightest bits of his horrible story is after he was brought in with severe burns in came an intoxicated priest who gave him last rites. Charlie complained that the priest was going to slow, to which the priest responded "WHY DON'T YOU JUST DIE!?" causing Charlie to almost jump off his gurney in a rage. That was one of the darkest-funniest things I've ever heard. The resulting "well now I'll show him" mentality might've helped keep him alive.)

Hour long safety meeting once a week. Work from 7am to 5pm, safety meeting at 6am. Every loving week.

Last ones focus was about snakes. Don't mess with snakes, stop the job and call the company man or your pusher. Also make sure to give the outhouse a good shake rattlesnakes and black widows love them.

Oh lord. The vaguely-relevant safety meeting. I know the feeling.

About the snakes - it's not as bad where I am up north, but in other parts of the US they have a really nasty habit of getting into electrical equipment. There you run the risk of a surprised snake striking a worker, or just getting electrocuted inside the gear. Like this little guy inside a medium-voltage disconnect switch:
