I can only assume that they do it to let off steam after being forced to do neat, correct work in the exchanges and cabinets.

If you think that's bad you should see the PLC cabinets I've been inside of. 2"x3" Panduit completely packed with control wiring. Some of the wires had labels. Some of the labels were correct. "This drawing shows the signal wires going from cabinet 5A to cabinet T06." "Uh, we haven't had a 'cabinet T06' since 1998. Big Steve did that work, he quit in 2004 and they threw out all the documentation he was working on."

I mainly mean the faucet on the left, so maybe like legless dwarfs. Anyway: quote:An architect has fallen to his death from a New York City skyscraper after losing his footing while at work.

Not "The Manhattan Building", but "the Manhattan building" as in "a Manhattan building; particularly, the one from which he fell". Awkward wording and the grammatical equivalent of not capping your protruding rebar, if I may say.

Not OSHA related, but whats the deal with the slow mo in this gif? It looks like it was artificially created somehow? Its really noticeable in the bottom right of the gif, its looks like a computer is blending the frames together. Anyone know what this is called?

It could be a mixture of the GoPro recording at a higher frame rate to allow the editor to slow down the frames, and if it was an older GoPro they had a problem with Jello-roll.

The MDF is customer owned and maintained. Any "extra" work they do will just lead to being responsible for it later + they are not getting paid. Humphreys posted:One look in a regular Telstra pit and you will doscover the ancient mystical art of electrical taping a bag over a bunch of connections to 'waterproof' them. Same thing here really. Contractors aren't paid to do extra work or give a gently caress about the network or services beyond the one on their ticket.

It was a heavy, dark, rainy day after a long drought. Opened up the box to get horrored out by approximately six trillion mostly dead ants. theyd found the only warm, dry thing they could get to, the power supply board, swarmed it till it popped and overheated, which then cooked them all it was bad and we went medieval with silicone sealant on everything after that

"I didn't gently caress it up so I'm not fixing it" I work tech support and that's exactly what I do when I run into the software equivalent of that phone panel. Yes, it's absolutely terrible and whoever set it up should get properly trained/yelled at/fired, but it works. The customer never wants to take the whole system down long enough to unfuck it, so it just gets worse every time anyone does anything to it.

Wanted to post this Canadian OSHA, which is a great mix of awful safety and hipster business people arguing for exemption. http://www.lfpress.com/2016/05/19/arva-flour-mill-shut-down-after-federal-safety-inspectors-said-it-didnt-meet-modern-day-standards Idiot Owner posted:Their order says the mill’s workings are unsafe for employees unless guards are put in place to prevent millers’ hands from coming near the roller mills. But it also notes that testing the product requires millers to place their hands between the rollers. Even better is the CBC Radio Interview with the owner, and its got some choice quotes http://www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappens...8?autoplay=true "All my employees know the equipment well... so I don't consider the equipment to be unsafe" "At first, I thought they didn't have any power [safety inspectors], and I just thought because we were 197 years old we had an exemption to...sort of the modern standards". "It's not that you putting your hands in the rollers, your grabbing about eight inches above the spinning rollers and grab a bit of flour as it comes out" "You can see it demands respect"

If anything they need periscopes to see around the nose that's sticking up in front of the cockpit. But those things add weight and drag, and those are racing planes.
