Pick posted:Plants on cliffs grow outward. Heh, yeah I realize they do but to me the one in the excavator pic looks like a plain old vertical shrub. KoRMaK posted:So is that supposed to be a mountain side in the background? The power lines or whatever don't really make sense in the tilted one if that's the case I think the assumption that those are power lines and need to be perfectly horizontal is what sells the illusion of the rotated pic. There is likely a pole cropped out of the shot that would make sense of it.

The power lines make more sense in the first one (the way they sag shows which way gravity is pulling)weg posted:
but the background mountains (if they are mountain sides) make more sense in the second image. the power line sag makes less sense here, its dubious

Guys, even if the excavator operator has balls of steel, who the hell builds a road that isn’t remotely level?

Power lines going up or down a mountainside are definitely not horizontal, and tend to sag a bit differently.

I'm in the opposite boat. My total cholesterol is 149, my LDL is 69, but my triglycerides are 229. I blame the beer, which I'm not willing to give up.

I need some advice regarding my current work situation. I work as a power equipment mechanic and we had a pallet of equipment collapse yesterday (in the area where a guy works, thankfully he went home early), which really shocked me into potentially reporting my business for unsafe practices. There's a laundry list of things I find completely wrong with the place: numerous electrical code violations, open 5 gallon buckets of gasoline in a storage shed behind our building, 2 stroke gas stored inside under the bench where we use the propane torch to melt the ends for starter rope, grinders without shields, leaks through the roof (one was through the ceiling fan in a back room), moving 20ft tall pallets of equipment with the forklift with others around. I'm sure I could come up with more if I thought about it, but that's just off the top of my head. We also wash off equipment with a pressure washer and have oil/fuel runoff that isn't contained. My question is, what governing body would I be best with reporting anonymously to in California, CAL/OSHA or CARB? I'm not looking to bury the business, but to just reign in some of the lunacy we have going on, because the owner/manager doesn't seem to give a poo poo when I bring anything up to him.

We've actually had OSHA in before (a year before I started) for 2 incidents, once involved an employee cutting his fingers off with a lawnmower (tried to catch it while it was running and falling off whatever he had it propped up on, I never got the whole story), and another that cut the tip of a finger off after getting it wrapped up in a chainsaw chain because he was trying to wire wheel it.

That said, you never know, maybe if you call OSHA, someone who would have died at work the next day will sit at home looking for a new job instead of getting killed by unsafe working conditions.

It sounds like your laundry list would be more interesting to the fire marshall and CARB. But yeah, if you get the fire marshall you're going to get laid off while it gets rehabbed by a contractor. Comedy slash super serious answer, organize a union and threaten walkouts if conditions aren't improved.

Report to CARB seems like the lowest risk option (to your continued employment, not bodily wellbeing). They won’t instantly shut the place down .

I thought air fines were serious business in California because smoggy LA is still in living memory. That is a violation could easily gut the working capital in a fly by night shop and at best your paychecks start coming in a month late. Interned in paper manufacturing in California and the bit of hardware that adds lotion to tissues straight up had a hood for VOC recovery. Any failure to follow procedure around it was grounds for instant dismissal, which is unique in my experience for being the only no tolerance rule based on environmental issues instead of personal safety.
