I never learned the standardized can colors anywhere except incidentally, so I find it pretty unlikely that a private home would ever end up in a situation where water and gasoline cans need to be specifically labeled so people who know the colors can identify them.

I've only ballsed it up a few times, because my dad keeps a gas can full of two-cycle fuel around and it's bigger than the regular one for the mower. Rebuilding the engine and then mowing the lawn is definitely what I wanted to do. Fuel confusions like that /usually/ only harm your equipment, but putting gas in your kerosene heater would be a pretty bad scene, etc. Potable water is in green tanks and lines per the scheme I'm familiar with, which is probably not NATO or whatever; it's /actually/ usually in clear or undyed containers, though. Color coding of the actual fluids is better all around imo.

Previa_fun posted:I'm super interested in this because I drive fleet vehicles and can say that our telematics loving sucks. It's absolutely worthless to detect actual dangerous behavior (I've seen vehicle stability control kick in on wet roads with not a peep from the telematics) but triggers all the time on events like "turning into a sloped driveway at more than two miles per hour." Not to derail too much, but at that job, we were using Qualcomm equipment (which, at my current place, we are too, but I'm distanced from it now, managing their EDI), and much of the data you get back through telematics is based on how well the telematics system was interfaced with the vehicle data bus, and the capabilities of the vehicle data bus. At the previous job, they ran a lot of old iron where J1708 was all I had to work with (I ran the big backend databases which pulled down the raw data from Qualcomm, and I did QC on the unit installations), you really didn't get much data back other than speed, mpg (which was calculated), and mileage/trip mileage. When J1939 was released on the much newer units you had more channels from the ECP on the bus, and you could get stuff like collision avoidance, vehicle stability, engine condition, etc., usually in very close to real time. Regarding the interfacing, our shop employed a bunch of mostly lovely, barely above minimum wage mechanics who would do these installations, and basically would just hook up the power, antenna, and that's it. So when the units went on the air, all I saw was location, and nothing else. When the truck was in, I'd check the bus connection, and see about 4 of 15 wires actually connected into the bus. I would complain, the problem would get fixed, but nobody ever got fired. In my current job, everything's pretty much different and much more thorough.

I work with telematics and HOS compliance it irks me that, 2 years into ELD we still have like two mechanics in our company who can install and maintain them. So we are expected to adhere to an 8-day repair window, but it takes us 3 weeks to get a guy who is certified to repair the drat things, not to mention getting the right parts in time. 90% of my company is still under the assumption that ELD and anything involving a computer is some fly-by-night BS that they don't have to worry about as long as the tires keep turning.

Did I work with you? Yeah, the over the road transportation industry weirdly grinds against technology constantly. I can't figure it out. My current position lets me work with not only OTR, but Air, and Sea, and Air and Sea have embraced telematic, and positioning technology, but OTR folks just get pissed. I wish I knew why. I chalk a lot of it up to the fact that many are still privately held, family businesses, and "back in my day we didn't need that poo poo" "goddamn government is trying to control us 'merca" poo poo is the philosophy of the day. I usually say calmly "hey, it's 2019, not 1975, poo poo's changed, and the Feds want to know what you're doing, as do the customers, so get over it, or get lost". And if these drivers really get me mad, I usually say, "hey, driverless trucks are becoming a thing. you better get yourself ready".

Well the standards only apply to those who are still living so The thing about socialism is that since the state assumes some responsibility for the citizens, it can be blamed by critics for anything bad that happens. Since capitalism doesn't pretend to give a poo poo, if a dust bowl and a depression wipes out your family, it's your fault, not capitalism's.

The Soviet Union killed millions of people because it rejected biology and genetics as "bougie (((western))) pseudoscience" and instead adopted Lysenkoism, the concept of "if you freeze wheat, it will become frost resistant", or in other words, thinking that watching Dragon Ball makes you a expert on martial arts.

This happened last week at a gold mine (not the one I work at) in Western Australia. We get updates from the Department of Mines on poo poo that happens when it's serious. This was serious and could have been much, much worse. INCIDENT DESCRIPTION: • A ERT trainer was setting up a rope rescue scenario • They walked on some checker plate flooring that gave way • They fell approximately 4m onto the concrete floor below IMMEDIATE ACTIONS TAKEN TO PREVENT REOCCURANCE: • Person involved was transported to the Site Medical Centre for assessment • Training suspended • The area was isolated and inspectorate informed of incident PHOTOGRAPH OF SCENE: The ERT trainer has a hairline fracture in his pelvis, and managed to avoid being impaled on those hooks by about 20cm.
