You have to wonder why they bothered connecting the ground wire.

Looks like an instant-on hot water system, where hot water circulates constantly so you don't have to wait for it to warm up. Or perhaps a baseboard hot water heating system. Large lines going out, small return lines.

Here's what seems to be the original post of that plumbing: http://imgur.com/gallery/I83oC If you zoom in fully you can read the writing on the pipes, it's a really fancy looking manifold feeding cold water to bathrooms in what's presumably a small office building.

My high school principal was missing his middle, ring and little finger on one hand from an attempt to un-jam a rock from the blades of a running snowblower.

I had a maths teacher in high school that was missing just his ring finger on his right hand, all they way to the base. Turns out "getting a finger cut off by an African warlord" is an occupational hazard when you're a foreigner teaching in Zaire in the 80s.

I had a shop teacher that was missing half of two fingers on his left hand. He apparently had poor aim and liked to chop wood. He was also reported to be missing a couple toes on his left foot. Again, legend went that his axe skills were to blame. When my older brother got to high school and started shop class with stubby, he excelled quickly, as our father was a carpenter (and we were the free labour). My father, also being a Kids these days.

It's an occupational hazzard playing hockey with canadians, too. Kinda NMS because you see a chunk of finger hanging off. didn't bother the guy who's finger it was much. also technically OSHA because it's the guys' job. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHSiVYCagH0 The attacker was punished by being made the subject of jokes relating to the incident.

JoelJoel posted:I can see the ring finger, but who manages to lose their middle one while keeping the index? I met a guy on our board this week who had two functional fingers to his name. He was born with his left arm ending in a stub with a bent thumb on it and nothing else, but a normal right hand. You'd think he would be extra careful to keep his good hand intact, but he did something dumb and got everything but his thumb severed by something. He now has a thumb, a pinky, and two (not three) half-length stubs in between. Apparently when he was in the ambulance, he asked for a drink of water. The paramedics told him that all they had was the ice his fingers were being kept in. He refused, not because his severed fingers were in there but because he knew where they had been.

How does this happen? Truckers are required to stop and rest every 'x' amount of hours. How did he not get caught at a weigh station or something?

Truck drivers are encouraged to falsify their log books to drive longer than legally allowed, and make more money if they have as little downtime as possible.

Out of all the weigh stations you've passed on the highway, how many have actually been open and operating? I've driven across the entire country half a dozen times. I've seen, maybe, half a dozen operating weight stations.

If they're paper logs, they're easily to falsify. If they're computer logs, they're also easy to falsify, you just need to call someone with admin privileges who's willing to "fix" them, or login with someone else's ID #.

In the days of paper logs, it was more common than not. At my former company, I was asked by the safety department to implement an Elog system. After that, every one of those loving drivers hated my guts because computers don't lie. With the exception of a handful, they really weren't very smart.

Yeah, I worked kind of adjacent to truck drivers in an old job when electronic logging was becoming the norm and they never had a legitimate reason to not want it aside from "I know how to do my job!!" The only driver I'm actually friends with quit the day they put one in his truck and was at least honest enough to be like, "Yeah I can't make enough money at this lovely job if I can't break the rules, later."
