I think I'm a doctor, but that doesn't make me a doctor. This fancy avatar does.
Sitting in one of the "Hotel Spaces" at the, I poo poo you not, insurance company I'm doing some contract work for, and this is the outlet to plug my laptop into:



I wish I could say it only pulled out of the floor when I went to unplug my laptop, but it was like that when I walked in. And yes, it has power going to it.

After this, my videos won't blow your socks off. But I worked at a (little bit different) place like this. If you want to get a sense of scale of those places, they might be interesting. I never bothered to upload them before, so OC, don't steal!

I had to put poo poo audio over them because Youtube doesn't seem to have an option to just remove it. So mute them! Also, I couldn't find the option for the auto stabilization :(
I'm standing where there pallets are normally placed. A coworker is driving me around, he's in a cabin behind me. There's a manual mode for when we humans do things. Everything is quite slow.
Video one is driving forward with manual controls. Video two is going up with manual controls.

Then, there's automatic mode, which drives to a position at ~3 meters/second. This is the third video, which is the most exciting one.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OprCDk3BREk&list=PLzk9Q1XB-ZCrJPhJzb6-JO_OHpLyHqWG_ (This should be a playlist of 3 videos without me talking, if it isn't, please tell me!)

Those lifts could pick up or set down pallets on the right or left, up to 750kg. There were 20 lanes. ~10,000 pallets were put in/picked out each day.

For OSHA, one time a lift got stuck at the top and instead of putting on the climbing equipment and climb 45 meters of ladder (it's harder than you think!), we just drove the lift in the next lane up and walked to the other one. Without safety, because there aren't any attachment points on any of the storage structure. I wonder why.

my postman deep tongue kisses all three of my lawn gnomes after dropping off my mail. given the circumstances in the video, a quick peck to the goose is probably alright, but call me a traditionalist, I prefer my civil servants to do things right, even if it takes a little more time

Sometimes it's not the bomb that's retarded.

A man got run over by an airliner on a takeoff run at a Moscow airport today. The investigators say they'll need DNA analysis for any kind of ID.

The plane has suffered no damage whatsoever.

Yes, the entire back end is basically a solid steel counterweight. Any part of him that was caught under it would have been SUPER squished.

We could easily have been looking at a criminal-level amount of code violations here. There are regulations at all levels that help preventing over-loading or under-supporting structures in industrial settings. After the inevitable investigation I wouldn’t be surprised if there was evidence to bring a queso manslaughter.

Forklifts are really tiny but can weigh as much as 5 tons. The official recommendation if you're in a tipping forklift is to stay belted into your seat instead of trying to jump out because the roll cage will basically pulverize anything it crushes.
