My theory on this one is that's a mannequin or something and it's a joke photo. There's no way that guy's holding the other dude and, if he is, there is no way he's getting back up. Also as the other guy said what the gently caress is he supposed to be measuring??

If he was holding him like that he would just fall out of his pants, unless that's actually an overall under the jacket. It still might be real photo taken for shits and giggles but there'd have to be some cables holding him up.

Why are there giant open holes in the street in China

Well, this isn't what's happening in the video, but when I lived in China there were always new holes on my morning bicycle ride to work because every night some of the manhole covers would get stolen.

Also once the road just collapsed right beside me from a broken sewer.

I've always been worried about that happening. Never remove the guard on a cutoff wheel and never put side load on it. They will explode. I'm not sure how this guy had this happen. He must have had his head sideways with a guard-less cutoff wheel.

Could have been one of these. The one pictured has a masonry blade, but you can switch them out for an abrasive wheel for cutting metal. They're meant to be held with the blade vertically, and the weight of the saw does the cutting. This guy could have been holding it horizontally to cut something, with the guard off. Then when his arms started to get tired the weight of the saw put a side load on the blade and then kablooey.

Easy, just burn your house down.
My favorite thing about that truck photo is, in trying to get twice the load off at the same time, they spent more time puzzling out how to do it and had to bring in an extra palette and whatnot, and it still broke.

I think they realized when it sagged that the dumb guy in the blue shirt had overloaded it, and they were looking to level it off so they could pull one of them back into the truck. Their mistake was asking dumb guy in the blue shirt to fix it. He hosed it up by accidentally pulling the lift backward.

Should have started unloading the pallets back into the truck from the top down. would have taken forever to rebuild the pallets or bomb it all in by hand but at least it wouldn't damage product/potentially crush someone's foot :shrug:

He was probably looking for another shortcut, thinking that he might be able to lower the lift if he could get it level with the pallet.

That's just the way he rolls.
I think he was trying to raise the lift to put one of the pallets back, but after lifting the jack, physics happened and it pushed the jack away from the lift. It would have worked if those jacks had a brake.

We all had a laugh, then we were shown the case of 2 guys who died when they ran over an unmarked sump which collapsed and caused them to be flung them to their deaths, which kinda took my mind off of trebuchet memes. Can't find a link covering that incident so here's Worksafe Victoria's list of incidents and prosecutions instead.

Reminds me of the time when someone thought they won't bother following procedure, which is to always lower yourself before moving the lift, and tried to drive it while up in the air. Too bad he forgot to switch the controls from height to movement and crushed himself against the beam he was working on.

Every drat safety procedure we have is because someone died or got their legs chopped off and still loving kids* are all "why should I do that why should I do that you're not my real dad" even though they've done the same training so they should know bloody well why.

Yeah I can pretty much assure you it's 1KVA and not 1KVac. It looks like the transformer primary are the small leads on the right side, secondary are the larger leads on the left. Insulation is pretty gonzo on the secondary if I am looking at this right it almost looks like the high (medium) voltage Raychem heat shrink tubing for covering splices.

If someone just threw that together you may want to at the very least put a fuse on the primary side of the transformer if it's powered single phase line-neutral. (Fuse the hot wire, fuse both if its 240V Edison or 208V or some other line-to-line supply.)

Here's a better picture of the transformer.

Please don't forget that I am an extremely racist idiot who also has terrible opinions about the Culture series.
Yeah, that says 1kW, not 1kV. 3V, 6V? That's a big fuckoff amperage because it needs to generate heat to melt through things all day long and resistive power is R*I^2, but that level of voltage is pretty much nonhazardous unless you're doing things like putting a metal object across the terminals to watch the pretty sparks, or touching the leads while covered in open wounds and salt water.

Also, use timg, those images are enormous.
