It doesn't matter, as long as it's made while "occupied" and "working" at polishing that wooden pearl like only a good boy can.

While I think you're all overreacting, and it really doesn't look like a vahjayjay in real life (I think it's the macro image and the lack of 3D depth that's throwing you), I have taken your opinions in mind and added a design to the pendant to hide any potentially confusing imagery

Jonny 290 posted:

we've been chewing on this over the morning and i'm 99% sure this is a home studio attempt. Tip 1 is the styrofoam sheets, a likely cheap go-to for lazy people (I buy the 2" thick sheets of the exact same stuff from Home Depot to build insulating skirts underneath our RV in the winter). Tip 2 is the fact that they didn't extend the ground. This is a Feature Not A Bug as they probably have a bunch of lovely ground loop issues in their janky amps and gear, and that would solve it for everything downstream of that outlet.

Nope, I know exactly what they were trying to do here, because I recognize the problem, but am amazed by how stupid their solution is.

I had something similar when I was retrofitting my 1960's-era house from no insulation to 2" foam insulation; they cheaped out by not using the good foam, but hey, if you're going to make mistakes, make a bunch.

Anyway, basement room had wood paneling on stapping on block, with the outlet boxes inset into the cinderblock by knocking holes in them. If you're adding a few inches of insulation you can no longer use the old outlet boxes because you've got two inches foam plus drywall thickness more wall in the way, and often you don't want to pull new wire through the ceiling. Smart answer 1 is finding the origin point, mounting an accessible junction box somewhere out of sight and running new wire. Smart answer 2 is using the previous wires, only mounting new outlet boxes an inch or two higher on the wall if the previous job cut the wires short.

This is neither option 1 nor option 2 - it's just plain stupid.

Man, watching the video with the people on there screaming for help I was like "that doesn't look too bad" then I saw the photos of the front row seats and was like "welp, I get why they were screaming now, it basically just cut off some legs" which was then confirmed in the article.

From what I understand (I don't do attractions), it's something ride manufacturers build in, to be used in controlled testing circumstances and so on. The people who actually did it violated every single safety procedure in the book. Basically I don't know exactly how it happened but I saw the reaction.

It's easy to pin any after-action safety stuff as a company trying to cover its rear end. I genuinely think Merlin's reaction - getting out in front, saying "hey our company hosed up and we will take care of this as best as possible" and then scouring all 100+ of their sites worldwide top to bottom genuinely came off as a concern for safety, not for PR and monetary concerns.

I really hope those people are taken care of well.

I did spend several years doing attractions, and you're basically describing Maintenance Mode versus Normal Mode. Where they lose me on this is that maintenance mode was never, ever allowed when the attraction wasn't empty. The idea that some ride ops just casually powered down and back up in the wrong mode to get a train off the lift when the ride is insisting it shouldn't go farther is some combination of horrifying and criminally negligent on the part of the individuals at the ride in that moment. How does a corporate culture breed a choice like that?

I think it's one of those things that operators had done it on the fly and were never found out; nothing bad had happened for years, so when the knowledge was passed on by people who eventually moved on or up, the newer pools of talent probably accepted it as normal practice.

I'm fairly certain that it's not really corporate culture, if it falls under this circumstance. At that point, it's negligent, of course, but culpability would likely lie on the rid op who, in spite of "by the book" training, used this other method assuming nothing bad would happen.

This kind of poo poo happens in the military and industrial accidents; people get used to some cowboy poo poo, years of bad habits become accepted training, something bad happens, no one can figure out who the gently caress to blame, so PFC Snuffy is blamed for improper practices causing the injury/death of someone else and is hung out to dry, cycle continues.
