We'd have customers leave their cars and walk off to get lunch or whatever, and we'd park 'em out front. One daft bitch came back, paid, hopped in, and spent about five minutes revving her motor, and then walked into the waiting area saying "you guys broke my car!" No, dumbass, here's your brake release lever. Have a nice day and learn how to loving operate a car.

Oh I so want to shoot hidden video of my boss telling me to lift him to the top of the warehouse racks on the forklift with him just standing on the forks and then crawling all over pallets of stuff up there. Like literally being a monkey jumping from pallet to pallet. There are way to many identifying marks for me to stay anonymous and the boss in question is the owner too.

Secretly establish a life insurance policy for him that pays to you and justify it as: if my boss/the owner dies, I might be out of work and I have to provide for my family, of course. I'm pretty sure there's a Law and Order or American Greed or something about this where the guy in the forklift loses patience after his boss's risky antics somehow don't end with him getting dead so he just murders him.

mostlygray posted:Parking brakes don't work well in reverse. What would give you this idea? Parking brakes work equally well in both directions. In most vehicles they're just a cable-actuated drum brake (generally inside the rear discs) which works exactly the same as the rear brakes still to this day found on cheap cars. On a few higher-end vehicles where the rear disc doesn't have the space for this it's an additional cable-actuated caliper. Odds are that truck was an automatic, and most automatic owners pretend the parking brake doesn't exist 99.99999% of the time, then when they actually need it the cable snaps or it's so far out of adjustment that it doesn't hold.

Thomamelas posted:As per this, https://fas.org/sgp/othergov/doe/lanl/pubs/00326640.pdf there were still detectable amounts in his urine during the 70's. I'm sure there were. Minute amounts of it will be excreted for the remainder of your life if you ingest the stuff, it sticks around that well. I don't have the retention factor data in front of me right now but I'm certain that it's over 90% and the biological half life is quite long, with a physical half life of 24,110 years. It really does not like to leave your body, but some small fraction of it will as long as it's present inside you. The issue is that "detectable amounts" are insanely small in most cases. Alpha radiation in your urine is not at all common, and in most cases people don't screen for it unless they suspect you've been exposed. In his case they know to screen for it, but unless you work directly in the weapons industry or some bizarre niche of the nuclear industry at large (check source manufacturing maybe?) it's not going to happen. Testing for this involves putting the urine in a liquid scintillator and looking for light flashes, which you'll get from the alphas and the associated gammas. Because there should be zero, even a few flashes are enough for someone to determine there's contamination. Internal dosimetry is weird and I'm not terribly great at it, but usually the results are "welp, can't do much about this." You can use chelation to remove heavy metals from the blood stream, but that doesn't do poo poo for plutonium because it is mostly in your bone structure and not freely in your blood stream. Mostly it's about identifying what, how much, and when you were exposed to figure out what the health outcomes will look like.

You can see the treads spinning under the vehicle as it drills, so he probably didn't even lower him onto the roof at ALL. spankmeister posted:Confirm. Who leaves everything in a vehicle? Even if it's not at risk of rolling off, that's a great place to just leave all your valuables to get stolen while everyone is gone.

Yeah but they didn't even have their phones, passports, and apparently wallets (since their cards went down with the jeep) on their person. It's one thing not unloading their luggage, but not even having your phone and wallet with you?

The barge is just a floating platform with engines so they didn't need their wallets for anything, they were between the mainland and an island so there probably wasn't any phone reception and I doubt the barge had wifi so their phones were useless except I guess for playing solitaire, plus they weren't travelling internationally so they weren't going to need their passports at any point. Also as far as they were concerned all that stuff was a lot safer in the car.

Maybe it's just me, but I never leave my phone or wallet anywhere if I'm not in my own house or a hotel room. I keep them secure in my pockets where nobody can grab them and they can't be left behind by accident.

Why are they calling it a barge? Looks like a ferry to me. A ferry with a ramp that should be raised before embarking so that the cars don't roll of

That'd usually be a good idea but your pocket often isn't the safest place when you're on a boat out at sea, poo poo's likely to get wet.

Cugel the Clever posted:...what third-world country do you live in that pickpocketing is still a thing? Either way, just wear a jacket with an inside pocket. lol just lol Anywhere a subway exists, anywhere street performers exist, anywhere you're forced into close contact with people there will be pickpocketing for obvious reasons. If you live somewhere that pickpocketing happens all the time (i.e. a city) you might want to consider keeping your wallet in a breast pocket and zipping up your jacket, instead of having it in your trousers/backpack/handbag. You might think you are paying attention but really you're not and there's a good chance if they pick you you wont even realise.
