I look at that and if no one was pointing it out I wouldn't even know what was wrong. Sadly that was also the situation Hemingway was in, to some extent.

One of the reports other conclusions was that it is management responsibility to ensure everyone is adequately trained and assessed for the job they are asked to do. That's actually the bit I feel we've had biggest rollback on as in some grades the responsibility to make sure you're adequately trained has fallen back on the staff again.

Some military OSHA. It was reported recently that a Belgian F-16 had been lost in a fire. Turns out the fire was caused by the cannon being armed and a technician accidentally pulling the trigger, blowing up the other plane.

TELL ME WHY HILLARY INJECTED A MARIJUANA
Pretty minor OSHA compared to the rest of this thread, but at my work, some intrepid soul disconnected the safety interlock on our trash compactor that prevents it from being operated while the door is open.

Since it's one of these,



it's more than capable of several thousand pounds of compressive force. I assume a member of the custodial staff disconnected it so that they could turn on the compactor, then open the door and use the broom handle/section of pipe next to the door and controls to manipulate the trash for more efficient compacting, or something. Since wooden shipping palettes get put in it periodically, all I could think was that some poor soul was going to be impaled by a piece of wood under just the right pressure in just the right place to grenade. I reported it on the company website, and two representatives from the relevant departments were down there in 10 minutes investigating it. Later that day, it was fixed, and a sign affixed to the door that says DO NOT OPERATE WITH DOOR OPEN.

A happy ending OSHA story, for once.

jesus christ. i know hindsight is 20/20 and all but there are, like, dozens of specific events in that woman's history that should have been an immediate "go to the hospital and never get out". her family, her friends, and the police departments of every community she ever lived in were either directly culpable or at best criminally negligent in allowing her violence to continue to escalate over the course of some 40'ish years.

"raped by every male member of her family?" eh, yeah well poo poo happens
"injured multiple children and adults in school?" sure but she had great grades (although she COULD NOT READ OR WRITE)
"shattered her husband's skull with a skillet?" hey people get drunk and fight. 'Stralia, mate!
"left her newborn baby on a railroad track and went to buy an axe to explicitly kill someone?" nah, she's sane, it's cool to let her sign herself out 24 hours later

it. just. keeps. going. god drat that is an infuriating article to read

My ball python went missing from under desk. I couldn't figure out how it disappeared, couldn't find it anywhere.
Later, turned on computer speakers and the bass sounded muffled.



Of course as soon as I went to reach for it...



Tried banging on the speaker, shaking it, luring the little guy out but it would not leave. So...





Couldn't force it out either way and it still took a long time to coax it out of that duct.

The hair dryer is actually a pretty good idea, I'll have to remember that next time my BP escapes. I'd imagine the heat is just too much for them to be comfortable and so they'd try to find someplace else.
