(picture of a ridiculous forklift safety failure.)
At a totally open gas station. Dude was just walking around on the awning.

I've done some unsafe stuff in my life. I used to prefer riding the forks over riding a pallet because you can't always trust pallets. I know you should have a cage but that takes time. I'd wear a safety waist belt and stand, arms overhead, replacing bulbs or wiring with the mast at max extent. I wouldn't let others do it, but I was the warehouse manager and I knew that I wouldn't sue if I fell off because I was a dumb poo poo. I'd holler down to make sure that the power was off on the fork truck and the parking brake was set. That's pretty safe. It's nothing compared to poor safety on the farm when I was a kid.

But, a step ladder? An un-commanded forklift? Left sitting there? Good Lord!

Also, don't ever do what I did. When you're looking straight up with both hands putting in an arc-sodium light bulb, your balance get's pretty wonky. I'm shocked that I could keep my balance. I get vertigo when I look straight up even on the ground.

Bottom line: OSHA is a good idea. You get smarter as you age. Also, switch out the arc-sodium lights for florescent lighting. It saves a thousand bucks a month easy. And you don't have to ride the mast all the time.

Being anti-science seems to be a popular downfall. Nuclear research was seen as "jewish" so the nazis didn't look into it as much as they could have.

The Nazis didn�t have the material resources, labour, or secure homeland necessary to do anything militarily useful with fission.

It was a lucky break for them that Heisenberg didn�t suck up as many resources as Von Braun with equally little to show for it.

Apparently they had enough Uranium to make a small test pile, but in typical Nazi fashion it was split between two competing research groups who refused to cooperate.
https://www.sciencenews.org/article/scientists-trace-uranium-cube-nazi-germany-nuclear-reactor-program

quote:

The researchers� sleuthing also resulted in an unexpected historical find. Modern computer simulations have suggested that the Germans� 664-cube uranium stash hadn�t been enough for the scientists to create a nuclear reactor. A minimum amount of the element, called a critical mass, is necessary to sustain the chain of reactions that occur in a reactor. To reach that mass, the Germans, working under physicist Werner Heisenberg, would have needed a few hundred additional cubes.

But as Koeth and Hiebert scoured documents at the National Archives in College Park, the pair found references to another 400 or so cubes held by a different German research group. At the time, German science teams were competing against one another. Had they combined forces, they would have had enough uranium to make a reactor, Koeth and Hiebert determined. The German scientists were still far from producing an atomic bomb, however.

I've seen this type of video far too many times in the past few years.
You'd think that for machines of such sheer size there would be better training and safety measures around operating them. But from what I remember reading in the old A/T maritime thread it turns out the entire shipping industry is full of lovely captains, idiots and underpaid alcoholics.

Looks like a mechanical issue this time.

�The MSC ship had an engine failure, which was immediately reported by the captain,� Davide Calderan, the head of a tugboat company involved in accompanying the ship into its berth, told Italian media.

�The engine was blocked, but with its thrust on, because the speed was increasing,� he said.

The two tugboats that had been guiding the ship into the Giudecca tried to slow it, but one of the chains linking them to the cruise ship snapped under the pressure, he added."

i gassed myself once. was cleaning out an outdoor garbage bin with bleach then i ran out of bleach. so in my infinite wisdom i figured "hey, i got half a bottle of 409 under the sink, i'll just finish the job with that!"

yeah, bleach + ammonia. i managed to only get a single inhale before my wife screamed at me for being a dumbass and i still had a smoker's wheeze for like 3 days afterwards. and the poo poo of it is that i absolutely know better, i just had a moment of complete idiocy. i'd like to think it gave me an appropriate respect for the OSHA component of janitorial work but, again, i already knew better and i'm not sure "dumb as a stump" is something you can train out of
