So I realized why my cursed genie was beeping so ridiculously aggressively yesterday. There were TWO of them. One penned in safely and it was only beeping when they drove it back and forth in the penned area. But a 2nd bigger genie was on the site and it was driving all around the building and on the mildly busy street in front of it (with no flag people, just a worker who kinda kept a lookout) and due to the shape of the building they were working on and landscaping around it they had to make these big stupid U shaped paths to go around the building, so lots and lots of beeping because lots and lots of driving around areas with lots of pedestrians and vehicles.

Humphreys posted:Granted they did that for a reason to maybe curtail those problem drinkers who would sit in their rooms drinking alone by providing only one place to drink and no takeaways. The civil engineering firm I used to work at had that as a safety policy for our Christmas party. We had bus service to a hot springs resort a good 2 hours from home and 30 miles from the nearest town, so when everyone inevitably got shitwrecked at the open bar, they wouldn't try to drive home afterward. For bonus OSHA, there was at least one massive head injury when one of our surveyors tripped over a 3" step in the bar and put a 6" gash in the side of his head. Another year, one of the owners got wasted on the bus trip down, jumped in the pool, and killed his Blackberry. No, Dave, I can't get you a new Blackberry by tomorrow. We're in a canyon, with no cell service, nor internet, on a Friday night, it's 20 below, and I'm not driving my car back to loving civilization because you thought doing Crown shots while the bus was slowed down to detour around two semis that blew over and caught on fire in the middle of I-90 was a good idea. (I never rode the bus. Getting drunk in a confined space with rich white people my parents' age? Ugh.) The best year was when my platonic +1 got sexually harassed by my co-workers ("you should gently caress her, because we're married and we can't, and then you should tell us about it!"), got blisteringly drunk to try and deal with it, went back to our room, and strategically barfed on every object that wasn't the sink and/or my stuff. I think it was over $10k in damages, though I don't know if that was the bill for the entire party's damages or just my room.

It’s 110 V on a Schuko plug, which means it’s probably high impedance, leaking through filter capacitors. In layman’s terms, it will tingle, but if you’re lucky, not stop your heart.

I hope he finishes it too but he was getting unfairly dogpiled on at times. He didn't realize what he had done but I thought he seemed receptive to their criticism even when it was pretty harsh. He just took a "well I hosed it but it can probably be fixed!" attitude and it just seemed to make them go more crazy.

Collateral Damage posted:And some times people cock that up and things (eventually) go very bad. IMO the Japanese response was even worse than the god-awful retarded repair job. The US base at Yokota had the plane on radar, had a helicopter at the crash site within 20 minutes, and rescue teams ready to deploy... and then someone in the Japanese government told them to stand down. The Japanese responders didn't even try to reach the site until the next day, they spent the first night pitching tents in a village 60 km away. Meanwhile a whole bunch of people who survived the initial crash are bleeding and/or freezing to death, with only four survivors by the time Japanese rescuers actually arrived.
