I thought it was a portmanteau of 'squirrelly kid'. i've heard the claims that it's an acronym for "stupid quick unfortunately imminently dead" and the like, but as in literally every case where a word (gently caress, posh, etc) is claimed to be an acronym, that's undoubtedly horseshit i've also heard that it stands for "squirrelly kid" and that is a little more plausible but also stupid imo i've also heard that it describes the way they move, drifting slowly in one direction and then rapidly shooting off in another i've also heard that it's a description of how the person's torso looks when they get ripped in half and all their guts spill out i personally believe that all of those are bullshit and it's just a word people started using for no particular reason. i guess the one about motion is the most plausible if i had to pick.

TorpedoFish posted:More EPA than OSHA but: I love that "dump it in the ground and let future people worry about it" mentality https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dounreay#Nuclear_Decommissioning_Authority_ownership quote:A new company called Dounreay Site Restoration (DSRL) was formed as a subsidiary of the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) to handle the decommissioning process. By May 2008, decommissioning cost estimates had been revised. Removal of all waste from the site was expected to take until the late 2070s to complete and the end-point of the project was scheduled for 2300. After leaving the UK the Scots will spend the next 300 years cleaning up this radioactive disaster. Good thing we've learned from our ancestors and won't be doing anything like this again.

One pallet is not a stack, you need two of them to form one. Double stack is therefore four pallets in a pile. This is only 1.5 stack.

When I worked at a Sears one idiot basically lost half his foot doing this when the bale expanded just that little bit extra to roll out on it's own .

Yeah I've seen those bailers do stupid poo poo and I've always advised my coworkers to not play with that garbage, and my response to crawling into the fucker has always been "lol no". Especially when the problem is something dumb like someone forgot to put the chains down before the bailer was filled. I don't even like standing next to the wire loops you put on because I've seen them overfill those fuckers all too much and then the wire bursts.

I think the saw guard is sticking, so the blade is out and still spinning as he falls. It's like the trifecta of really dumb poo poo here: * Hanging on to the work piece instead of moving the ladder back to maximize instability. * Saw guard sticking as he falls off the ladder to increase risk of inserting saw into body.

Fallom posted:Here's how the firefighter conversation should've gone: "You didn't pay your $75 fee, so we'll stick you with a $10,000 bill to put out this fire." "Ok." An ad hoc verbal agreement right there? How would they have enforced that? A week later you ask for payment and the homeowner says he remembers the conversation differently.

A favorite trick of mine to get dumbasses to not gently caress with balers at later jobs is I'd score one of the bale wires before training new hires on operating it so I'd get a guaranteed wire snap. Seeing one go off like Satan's bullwhip and saying "Now imagine that hitting your face" put the fear in all of them.
