Wes Borland was probably the single most unique guitarist to come out of that whole scene. Nobody else sounded like him. He was really doing his own thing. There was never really one specific nu-metal sound, but even then, he was really out of left field. Wait what thread is this?

I don't know if Limp Bizkit started the rock band + dj craze but it's really annoying listening to some good music from that era and every song has some stupid scratch session from the wheels of steel.

Its important to know that Gotti was financed by his family, so it was inevitable that E from Entourage's magnum-opus would lionize this dude who was no different from any other low-life.

It's no different from the forced rap breakdowns in every mid 90s to early 00s pop-rock song or the forced "exotic instrument" (mostly steel drums) from the late 80s early 90s in the same genre. Every pop musical era has a poison pill built in.

The last time I saw Fred Durst do A Thing was when he was filmed in the audience of a WWE event, flipped off the camera and was quietly escorted out afterwards. Google tells me that was 2012.

Pastry of the Year posted:You know what? I'll say it: I bet driving a forklift is actually really easy and forklift operators are just talking up the danger to feel like Big Men. I've operated forklifts occasionally. I am by no means a good forklift operator. It is difficult. If you're just meaning "drive somewhere across an open, empty floor, pick up a pallet, move it five feet, and put it down with no time constraints", then sure, that's not difficult, just go slow. The problem is that when you're actually trying to get work done, it's never that simple. There are going to be other things, forklifts, and pedestrians in the way, the thing you're trying to pick up is probably awkwardly shaped and up to the limits of what your forklift can handle, and you're under pressure to get it done as fast as possible because that truck needs to leave five minutes ago. It's seriously impressive how fast professional forklift operators can load and unload stuff while still being safe. Let's put this in perpective: forklifts can easily weigh 2-3 times what your car does. You got a stuctural support pillar you want taken out? Aim a forklift at it and hit the throttle. If that sucker is moving, those tines will go through pretty much anything. What tolerance do you have for a forklift driver who's good 99% of the time when the other 1% can easily destroy $10-20k in one shot?

It's not that it's difficult, exactly, it's just that it's extremely easy to cause a lot of damage with a forklift. Operating them very safely is actually way harder than it seems. This is why you have to be licensed to use them; it's like cars. Yeah once you learn how to operate them it's not that difficult to do it safely but there's some learning you need to do before you can operate it without anybody dying. Anything with an engine of any real size in it can potentially do a ton of damage. Forklifts are specifically designed to move around really heavy things so you bet your rear end that engine has enough power to damage things or people in very serious ways.

Forklifts are specifically designed to move around really heavy things so you bet your rear end that engine has enough power to damage things or people in very serious ways. This has come up in the OSHA thread a few times and there's no proper "licensing" in the US, at least not at a federal level. Some places will give a teen 30 minutes of instruction and off you go. Most of the "certification classes" are poo poo like 4-hour online classes. There's no standard and no accreditation. That's actually part of the reason my new company that I'm forming is going to be offering a much more rigorous forklift certification, which will include a practical exam to show that you can safely operate in a variety of situations. Also, forklifts are loving heavy. They have to be to counterbalance the load, so your typical warehouse forklift weighs about 4.5 tons. That's why you're instructed not to try and jump free of the cab if it tips: it will absolutely turn you to mush.
