drat, now i wanna see more out of control truck tires just rolling over/through everything.

I'm curious how far that tractor tire would've gone if it didn't completely demolish the ramp.

I will always admire the sheer brave stupidity of the two guys with the orange mat who have just seen this 220kg tyre travelling at half light speed annihilate everything in its path and yet STILL decide to try and stop it.

This thread is a good supporting article for a corporate death penalty. If you are lack of safety practices gets someone killed, your company should be nationalized and liquidated.

I've been in two near wrecks involving people not securing wheels properly on their cars. These things are dangerous on the highway.

In my fantasy land the entire company is seized so the C-levels lose any equity/ownership they might have, as well as any investors. Yes, it might burn some workers, but other companies will fill the void in the market.

And after a couple rounds of this it would stop happening as companies stopped being as poo poo.

In your sad fantasy world anything is possible, sure. But in reality, capitalism will find a way to avoid spending money no matter what.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:

My brother has been living in his current house for about 10 years now and every now and then he'd get a faint whiff of gas in the kitchen, even when he hadn't been using the gas grill at all. It was only ever a tiny faint whiff of gas and it barely ever happened so he never got around to looking into it. Last year he finally decided to get a plumber to check it out and the guy discovered that when the house was being built someone put a nail right through the pressurised gas line but it was only when the weather got to a certain temperature that the copper pipe expanded enough to emit some gas.

Now that's a slow leak.

When I moved into my house I first thought it was just the house being musty from the previous owners, which was weird because the place was immaculate when I saw it. After leaving and having a nasty headache I realized we had a gas leak. It was a fairly small leak on the feed to the furnace so we don't think they dislodged it while moving; only guess we had was it was winter and unseasonably warm so it had managed accumulate enough because the fan hadn't turned on, and thankfully the pilot light didn't ignite and blow the whole thing up.

Sorry, last page but since this wasn't answered - the groundman hosed up. The rope is a set of blocks, and the groundman was supposed to let the top fall and slowly arrest it on its way to the ground in a controlled manner. Instead, he held the rope fast and the man standing 80' up paid for it.

In the video you can hear the groundman yell "SORRY!"

Ahh that makes sense thanks

Trains are not a thing you can leave to the vagaries of the "free market" without making a few omelettes along the way.

Nah omelette works, they gently caress everything up and just let it sit there on the fire.
