Three-Phase posted:How do you mix up flying to Montana instead of flying to Texas? You have a GPS and a compass... The article mentioned it briefly. Pretty much the only way that this could've happened was because the guy was a supreme fuckup and misread the runway designation (L51, standing for Length of 5,100 feet) at Amarillo as being the name of the airport. Alternately, he thought that the runway's designation could be entered into the GPS in the same way that a street or interstate could. What really makes the whole thing astoundingly stupid is that he would have had access to the Amarillo layout chart in the first place to learn about the L51 designation in the first place, which would mean he already knew the name of the airport, and all he had to do was just plug in "Amarillo". spog posted:Surely they have heard of chairs?

Power Bottom posted:In the US, most customer service associates (aka cashiers at groceries and fast food places) are not allowed to sit in chairs while at work because it is viewed as "lazy". This could actually provide massive benefits and relief to an already beleaguered minimum wage working class. Sitting all day at work is loving awful for you.

Facebook Aunt posted:LOL. Standing still all day is also awful for you. "Standing five hours a day contributes to significant and prolonged lower-limb muscle fatigue, a small study concluded. This may raise your risk for long-term back pain and musculoskeletal disorders." As compared to sitting: http://www.cnn.com/2017/09/11/health/sitting-increases-risk-of-death-study/index.html "No matter how much you exercise, sitting for excessively long periods of time is a risk factor for early death, a new study published Monday in Annals of Internal Medicine found. There's a direct relationship between time spent sitting and your risk of early mortality of any cause, researchers said, based on a study of nearly 8,000 adults. As your total sitting time increases, so does your risk of an early death." https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/sitting-health-effects_us_57b4b4e3e4b095b2f5421a58 "In the lengthy paper, a team of cardiology experts reviewed existing evidence about the link between sitting and health. Their conclusions, published this week in the journal Circulation, say that no amount of physical activity is enough to combat the dangerous health effects of sitting for hours each day. "Studies have linked long periods of sitting with an increased risk for diabetes, heart disease and even cancer." In other words, there are different degrees of awful.

You neglect to factor in the amount of assistance olds will need when they can't computer and they're blinde from cataracts and they're suffering from dementia. One of the important reasons for manned cashiers is loss prevention. The only reason self-checkout works is because they're all millenial wage slaves and already know how to run a point of sale. Good guess is that your walmart is full of young and poor people. Because rich old people aren't going to scan their own items like a plebeian.

Same thing is happening in Ontario but there's literally always a bunch of cashiers next to self checkout that always have significantly more customers.

For the few decades that we'll have friendly robots that is. After that they'll be getting their revenge and pulling our hearts and lungs out with taloned, steely hands.

zedprime posted:These replies are ripped straight from the headlines of 2007. I'll actually be curious to see how much labor in retail just gets shuffled. Cut your cashier force in half and move them to staff the new Drive-Up thing Target is doing for example; reduce foot traffic in stores while keeping some of the sales volume from convenience. Hopefully they give those loaders orange vests so they don't get run down by distracted motorists thinking they're all done loading and slamming the gas while still in reverse.

There have been a number of planes that have crashed due to pilot sleep deprivation, where they are breaking their yokes trying to push down when the auto pilot is pulling up because they just don't know what's going on anymore. Regional airline pilots generally live like 6 guys in a 1 bedroom because they earn so little and fly so many hours.

I'd like to imagine this the most recent picture. They've been doing it for a while and that's just how the truck looks now . That pressure point has been going on since the truck was "new" and they're just waiting to turn it into a flatbed.

Reading Patrick Smith's Ask The Pilot blog, including such delightful poverty hacks as how to cook ramen in a hotel-room coffee maker, is as frightening as it is depressing
