SpaceCadetBob posted:Wait what? I need to know more. TorpedoFish posted:For those who don't know, the Berlin Brandenburg Airport is (was) supposed to open in 2011, replacing two older airports and serve as a regional hub for Air Berlin. It still is not open. It is now probably approaching €10 million over budget. Air Berlin no longer exists. It...has not been a particularly successful project, and there's a fair bit of OSHA-esque fuckery.

It all burns to the the ground in precise German fashion as to not provide evidence of any wrongdoing.

Perhaps its just this thread, but why does it seem like forklift drivers are always the ones mentioned on the various shirts stating things similar to the following: I'm a forklift driver, I drink BEER. I eat MEAT, I poo poo CINDERBLOCKS, I piss ACID I love PUSSY, cuz I'm a REAL MAN. And so on......

In between posting inane Q-Anon related garbage, the odd "I drive a forklift and furthmore" memes pop up.

Alkydere posted:I know the focus is on the rapidly growing NOODLE OF DEATH and the guy who nearly got killed by his lack of situational awareness but my favorite part of that thing is how the machine vomits one last bit of hot metal in the bottom right at the end. It's like those videos of a rocket launcher that's mostly a dud and just squirts out the end. We had a pretty decent squall line cross Melbourne on Thursday night, gusts upwards of 110km/h in some places. We lost power at 6:05pm, but only experienced a few gusts of wind and a burst of rain. Power stayed out for around 48 hours. Apparently, a few gusts of wind was, uhh, not a typical experience. ~200m from my house you get this:   All things considered I think they did a great job getting us back on again.

Ornamental Dingbat posted:Yeah, we advocate being safe in this thread but never be a narc. I can't tell if this is facetious or not. Being a narc, tattle-tale, whistle-blower etc are all kinda critical if the job/environment refuses to correct things themselves. For this particular example, you can just tell the guy behind the counter that "Hey Yo, your thing is busted" and then if it's there next time you refill just phone it in.
