If you like truck fuckling, you should know about Storrow drive in Boston. It looks like a freeway and lots of truckers are tempted to go on to avoid traffic in the city, but all the bridges are 10'6".

LanceHunter posted:I think decapitation Schlitterbahn is the Kansas City one. Dangerous river tubing Schlitterbahn is the one in Texas. TBF to the Texas one, it's two different park areas and you can tube on the same river without going to the park. Basically a river flows near one area to the other. The dudes were basically hopping a fence, getting on the sketchiest part of the river, and hopping back into the park if I'm reading and remembering this right

And multiple college kids in U-Hauls they barely know how to drive try going on Storrow on Sept 1 (move-in day) and it’s a shiiiiiiiit show

Nth Doctor posted:Rapids / hydraulics within rapids DO NOT gently caress around. On the bottom of many rapids in those kinds of rivers is a tangled mess of tree branches and poo poo just waiting to entrap your foot or something, at which point many white water rafting guides shift tactics from rescue to body retrieval. I watched a youtube recently about the most dangerous stretch of water in NA, basically a segment of a canal that is electrified to prevent asian carp from spreading into lake Michigan. If you fall in there the electricity will stop your heart and no one can come after you to rescue you..

That’s a trick for breaking open padlocks. It looks like he’s practicing. There’s a better way of doing it though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBSSA5ot0tA

Padlocks are super easy to break if they leave that much space for wrenches

We have some pretty serious freezer units that get down to maybe cryogenics temps from what I heard. I'm no expert, but they use R404A refrigerant with a mystery secret additive that the manufacturer wouldnt tell the techs that came out to install two new compressors to them. I did overhear 'reclaim and bump up with regular R404A' I sense a long-term problem brewing....

https://vimeo.com/473401431 Saw some OSHA on the streets yesterday. They pulled this to the scaffolding with some rope then slowly pulled it into the job site. For extra OSHA, check out the pedestrian ducking under the caution tape in the first few seconds.

I knew that Mike Rowe had gone a bit chuddy, but catching up on a TV thread, I didn't realize how far he had gone.Lurdiak posted:Probably a bit off topic but in case some of you still have fond memories of Mike Rowe: How the gently caress can you be anti-osha and still claim to speak for workers? What an rear end in a top hat. Safety comes third, after money and "getting the job done" (21:50). I liked Dirty Jobs a lot and now I regret watching it.

I bet it's like this, he goes to do shows, on cam he's all buddies with the workers, but really he's in there interacting with the big boss who got discovery to come down to their fishery or shitpond or whatever, so he spends all his time rapping with these maga shitheads and they're going on and on about lazy workers and people milking the system, and mike rowe just loves it. Also he's a class traitor piece of poo poo who'd sell anyone out to improve his personal stock, so gently caress him.

He's not a class traitor. He was never a worker to begin with. He's a loving opera singer with a communications degree who got into acting via modeling gigs on loving QVC and poo poo and has been cosplaying as a blue collar joe. He's Larry the Cable Guy but worse. He's about as blue collar as Don Jr wearing a trucker hat.

Dysgenesis posted:I knew which video this would be before I open it. Nah, a good locksmith knows all sorts of ways to open a lock, including loving it apart. No matter how good your lockpicking skills, if someone, say, flooded it with super glue, you’re SOL. Alternate approach required.

I just watched that 911 episode of There's Your Problem, and yeah first responders did a lot of safety third type poo poo, and guess what, it was a bad idea. Anyway, confusing semantics that purport to resolve an imaginary problem like workers overthinking safety, is just more disinformation to justify limited safety protocol, or poo poo like everyone being an essential worker. Btw, I'm a physical therapist assistant and traditionally we are not essential staff in hospitals, but during hurricane Harvey they suddenly said we were, and tried to trap us at the hospital. My buddy stayed and his house got flooded and his wife was trapped and had to be rescued by boat. Turned out they weren't making our staff work doing essential things, they were making us churn out rehab treatments 24/7 to get those medicare dollars. Then they turned around and tried to deny all the overtime people had clocked, because that's how for-profit hospitals be. I quit working there and went to a state hospital a few months later.
