mostlygray posted:They were all hard workers, just reliable third time losers. They showed up on time and were the best crew I'd had in 10 years. That is about the best you could hope for with the salaries that we paid. I wasn't allowed to do the hiring, only management of the staff. We once had 8 employees disappear one day due to immigration issues. Another staff member we had looked like a hard-time criminal gang member. He constantly said "Don't judge me because of my looks." His mom called us to tell us that he had stolen product from our warehouse. He even said "Don't judge me." as he ran in circles around the outside of the warehouse until my co-manager caught him cartoon style. No charges, we just made him do the walk of shame to his mom's car when she came to pick him up. He must have been about 40 years old. What did you pay, $5 an hour?

Dick Trauma posted:I received radiation treatment following surgery for a tumor in my leg. I've always wondered how much radiation I was exposed to, not that I could've avoided it. If it makes you feel any better, the room is so well protected because the nurses and technicians have to work next to it all day for years on end. One short, relatively high, but precisely applied dose (yours) is less dangerous than a decade of continuous random low exposure (the nurses, if the room leaked a bit). Also, in the first place, the doctors are making a calculated risk assessment and determining that the amount your lifespan will be reduced by the radiation exposure is less than the amount it would be reduced by not having the surgery. Enjoy!

Remember those painters in China pushing the scaffold? It happened again with a boom truck trying to move a sign.

I manage a warehouse and this is accurate. Someone smashed a water fountain with the forklift and the only two people who know how to operate it (or are certified) both told me they didn't do it. It was just running water all over the floor and when I arrived for the day there were tools scattered around it in the puddle of water where someone was trying to.....do something. Nobody could explain why they needed a level or a hacksaw since nobody apparently did it. These guys have 10-20 years on me and act like little kids that don't want to tell their Dad that they broke something.

I remember burning magnesium strips in High School, and they were bright as gently caress. The instructor warned us to not look directly at it.

Airborne Viking posted:I remember burning magnesium strips in High School, and they were bright as gently caress. The instructor warned us to not look directly at it. I can only imagine the eye-damage some of those people got from this explosion. A friend of a friend would throw a huge bonfire/luau at the local beach during the summer. They would go to the local pick n' pull and grab a magnesium casing from a car's engine block (Volvo? It was some particular model). They would then light it using a blowtorch after setting it on top of a nearby dune. The thing would burn all night and make a light about as bright as a rising sun. I thought it was an incredibly novel way to light up the night.

I've been to the Yellowstone hot springs and it was freaky because all the bacteria in the water boils off i guess so the water is like super super clear, it's like you can see a mile down into it. It's like peering into the bowel of a monstrous snake

Never thought I'd see something in this thread where I know the location. That station would be Springwood in the Blue Mountains of Australia. It'd have to have happened more than 3 years ago because they didn't replace the time boards with screens till they changed the branding of the station. Springwood is the sort of place where people like to believe it's posh but it has a massive bogan population and the pubs are violent enough that the bouncers walk the crowd to the station on occasions to stop fights. The trains heading down the hill also stop at 11pm with nothing else coming till 3am. I'd say what happened is someone thought they could hitch a ride to where they where they were going.
