What people always forget is that it's not a lack of oxygen that gives you the "I need air" feeling, it's an excess of carbon dioxide.

So when you just displace the oxygen with another gas you don't get the sensation of suffocating and you think you're fine until you suddenly black out.

Not pictured: The left ladder is sitting on a partially demo'd deck which is currently being held up by a piece of firewood.

The guard on that saw has long since been removed, of course.

This reminds me of a callout I went to (volunteer fire fighter, we also do medicals) where a guy was trimming tree branches with a circular saw, on a ladder, by the edge of an empty pool.

Is it included in OSHA if you "walk" the ladder? Like straddle it and then move it while you are on it by rocking back and forth. I do it all the time so I am not sure, it doesn't seem too bad.

That said, sometimes we rig up like a ladder like below
  /\
 /\/\

and use it like a bridge then put another ladder on top of it. This was in Arizona where nobody apparently gives a gently caress.

Also during monsoon season it would rain like crazy + lightning and you would be on top of this metal ladder wondering what the gently caress.

In Alien, the Nostromo has a room that's apparently just devoted to being full of hanging chains and running water. When you activate the self-destruct sequence, all the regular lighting is replaced with strobes, while steam vents open up and blow freely. Space OSHA needs to get its act together.

I can't find it now but I remember some industrial planner wrote a really neat article about The Abyss explaining that the issue at the end where under the yellow light from his suit Ed Harris couldn't tell the difference between the blue wire with white stripe and the black wire with yellow stripe should never have happened because planning wire colors is actually a pretty huge and basic part of industrial engineering/design and it should have been built with a solid wire and a striped wire instead of two similarly colored striped wires. Of course, that's in a perfect world where people are competent and companies don't cut corners.

In aviation all the wires are the same colour, but with labels on the ends.

IIRC that nuke was never designed to be used underwater, so nobody would have considered the effect of diving suit lights on it.

That still wouldn't matter. You design things like those wires to look absolutely different no matter what, whether it was lit by a flashlight or someone lighting their own farts while encased in lime jello.

Sigourney Weaver clearly says "well gently caress that!" here but for some reason they redubbed it "screw that." I wish there was a version of the movie somewhere with the original line, cause it's much better that way.

They edited the hell out of the movie to get a better rating. All of Tony Shalhoub's weed references got removed too. Dude's character was stoned the entire time but it barely comes up, you just seem him squint-eyed and eating bags of doritos in every scene.

Speaking of wire colors, I'm red/green color blind. Green, brown, red, orange all look the same depending on shade and context. Also, blue and purple look the same. I swear that no devices take red/green color blindness into consideration. When your server has an indicator light that says green=good, amber=notification, red=failure, I can't tell the difference at all. It wouldn't be hard to engineer the equipment to take into account the 1 in 10 people that are the same as me.

We use a software development tool called Jenkins at work. Normally its web panel shows a blue 'light' (just a ball icon) for success, and a red one for failure.

There is a plugin for Jenkins that changes the blue icon into a green one because apparently some spergs hate blue.

Anyone remember when the PS2 first came out? And how loving futuristically advanced it was because it had a BLUE LED omg, then a few years later every loving thing had a blue LED. There was a button sequence or something that turned the PS2's blue LED into a green one too, if you wanted to.

In one of the classes I took in Uni we had a team assignment and I had used red and green highlighted text to signal problems and one of my teammates reported a bug with the highlighting. Took us a good few minutes to remember he was red/green colorblind. We switched red to black with white text.

Reported that as a feature.

I checked out the color blind test and every now and then there was just grey on grey with no number but at the end it said I"m not color blind. Were those false positives tossed in there to see if you're honest about not being able to see poo poo and might just be guessing? Or is there a magical color out there I just can't see and all I perceive is grey but they are withholding that information from me for some nefarious purpose. I feel like my enemies are writing secret notes in octarine or whatever and laughing at me now.
