Culinary schools often require an internship for graduation. The idea is to get real world job experience, see if you can hack it in a real kitchen, not just a classroom. The internship is for the school, not the job.

My roommate in college slipped in a similar manner when he was in high school working at a fast food joint. He caught himself before he hit the floor...

He caught himself by sticking his entire arm into a deep fryer running at full heat with no basket in. He had several skin grafts but he healed up OK. The worst was his palm that hit the element. That never really healed right. It looked really messed up. He often advised that floors around deep fryers need to be mopped religiously and mats need to be down.

Wait, so he went back to work there?

Sound Mr. Brown posted:

That's a few days worth of pallets in a busy warehouse. You can fit 32 skids (sideways) on a 53' trailer. That's 160-320 skids on a normal day in a small warehouse that does poo poo 'n' get shipping (read JIT).
Odds are, that video is of an end of the year shutdown for clearing the warehouse and doing inventory. As such, workers get bored and the warehouse manager would absolutely sanction it because they're already on so much OT that the staff is losing their minds.

Or maybe they sell plastic pallets, they just don't give a rat's rear end, and it's fun. It would only take an hour or so for a crew to set it up and it's a fun viral video. Back when I was a warehouse manager, if I came back from lunch and saw the mess, I would chew their asses out for doing it, but I'd be proud of them. There's no harm in letting your staff blow off a little steam.

It looks like a steel tank, like the ones we use as banks to fill scuba tanks. 4500psi working pressure, ~440 cubic ft of air at that pressure. We have ~30 of those in the dive shop I work at, some for regular air, some for nitrox (70/30 cut of N2/O2), and a few for pure O2 to blend the nitrox. The nitrox ones are painted yellow, and the O2 tanks are a solid green.

People are precious about their CHEP pallets. One of my first deliveries at my old warehouse the driver insisted I give him another CHEP in exchange for the pallet he just dropped off.

"Sorry mate, don't have any, we've only just opened. You can have one of those if you want?" *pointing at a dozen lovely non-blue pallets*

"Nah mate, just unload everything off that pallet and I'll take it back."

Yeah sorry mate I'm not unloading a tonne of thermal receipt paper by myself. He left eventually after I swore I'd give him another CHEP next time or he could charge the company for his loving blue pallet, I forget which.

For freaky poo poo underground you can't beat Oklo.

quote:

The natural nuclear reactor formed when a uranium-rich mineral deposit became inundated with groundwater that acted as a neutron moderator, and a nuclear chain reaction took place. The heat generated from the nuclear fission caused the groundwater to boil away, which slowed or stopped the reaction. After cooling of the mineral deposit, the water returned, and the reaction restarted, completing a full cycle every 3 hours. The fission reaction cycles continued for hundreds of thousands of years and ended when the ever-decreasing fissile materials no longer could sustain a chain reaction.

I attended a talk last year by someone who studied Oklo. It’s incredible that we can determine (a) that the reaction was cyclic rather than continuous, and (b) how long the period was, millions of years after the fact. And this was due to the different isotope ratios of tellurium or something like that. If I get a chance tomorrow at work I will track down the guy’s name and post a paper for the thread’s perusal.

We will be cruel
And through our cruelty
They will know who we are
"Atomic Accidents" by James Mahaffey cites a cave in the Ozarks that has natural uranium deposits, and if it wasn't in a book about radiological history, I would have ranked it with the Dyatlov Pass in terms of bullshit.

https://www.dangerouslaboratories.org/radoz.html from "Technical World" 1913 Vol 18

"A little way from the mouth of the cave 'Bill' Henry, John Dempsey, and I found what looked to us like rich silver ore. It was growing dusk and we decided to go back to camp, get a good nights rest, and return the next day to make a more careful examination. In the morning we lit our pitch-pine torches and started in. About two hundred feet from the mouth, the cave was partially blocked by what looked like a big tree trunk of solid silver. It was a light peacock blue in color and glittered like diamonds in the glare of our torches. We filled a small box with bits chipped off this pillar of ore, but it was so heavy we could hardly lift it. Finally we went on further into the cave. Nearly five hundred feet from the entrance we entered a big arched room, the walls of which shone like polished silver. Its roof was supported by three transparent, crystal pillars, each about the diameter of a salt-barrel. The floor and part of the walls were a light blue, shimmering mineral. We thought we had found our eternal fortunes. Presently we noticed that when we got on the other side of the crystal pillars, our torches died down and almost went out. We got scared and hurries back to the mouth of the cave. When we reached the open air I fell down in a heap and was not able to move my legs. Henry kneeled over in a sort of faint and Dempsey commenced to talk wild and raving. The boy we had left to wait for us at the cave"s mouth ran for help and finally we were all carried back to the camp."

"Henry's condition grew so serious that he was taken to a hospital at Carthage, Mo., where he lay for weeks before recovery. Henry collapsed and sores like burns broke out all over his body. Paralysis finally ended in his death."

Eldritch as gently caress, especially when you're listening to the audiobook while driving on a rural highway in the middle of the night.
