I was browsing through Twitter and managed to get a photo of the victims pop up on my timeline. I barely recognised them, and really wished I hadn't looked harder at the photo to figure out what was going on.

I once saw one of those worker camps in Dubai, back in 2009. Something like 12 guys to a large room, bunk beds, communal kitchen. No AC and I don't know what the bathroom situation was, but I can't imagine it was great. We were told it was one of the "good" dorms or whatever they called them.

Seeing that poo poo will turn you into a commie right quick.

I have not done the math But I am pretty sure that if one of those blades came off at full speed it would go clean through you.

I won't be doing any carving with it until I can put together enough protective equipment to use it without risking serious injury from a loose tooth, maybe 2.5mm steel plate for the body and 20mm polycarbonate for the face

His exact thought process was "The trailer attachment is all the way across the yard, but I only need to move this boat a couple feet so I'll just balance it on the end of the fork. I'll go slow, it'll be fine."

He's probably done it like a dozen times before without any issues, too.
