I had to ride in one of those from Commack Long Island all the way to the museum of natural history in Manhattan. I remember absolutely nothing about the museum but I was sick the whole day.

Yeah, my parents had a Chevy wagon with the rear facing seats. That poo poo was fuckin awesome. When we were teenagers, it was the best spot for hanging out the window and throwing eggs at people/things.

Because usually when a car has 6+ occupants at least two of them will be children. It's an option anyway, so most cars probably won't even have those seats.

My dad's GMC Safari's back seat was like that for a year or so. Not by design, the reclining mechanism for the driver's seat broke and my dad realized if we turned the back seat around, it kept the driver's seat back from flopping horizontal and kept it and a comfortable angle for him. It made for a pretty great 8 hour road trip when I was like 10 or 11 and I got to put my feet up on the cooler and felt like I had the whole cargo area for myself.

My dad's Chevy Cavalier station wagon didn't have 3rd row seats, we just sat in the cargo area, sometimes with the hatch open if it was a short trip. Took a nearly 9 hour each way drive one time in my cousin's minivan with 8 people when we were kids. They removed the center row and half the people sat on the floor for the entire ride. Edit: it was probably safer then when we put five people and luggage into a Fiat Maluch for a 3 hour drive across Poland.

when I was 11 or so, my parents bought a Dodge van. it'd been used by the previous owners to make pilgrimages to Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker's Heritage USA Christian amusement park, so they'd stenciled a dove into each door. except for the driver's seat, there were no seatbelts, and the back bench (which folded into a bed, futon style) wasn't even bolted to the floor. (so on our first trip in it, my brothers and I laughed uproariously when it tipped over at every stop, with us in it.) (it was a different era, but the first thing Dad did was put in seatbelts and, uh, bolts.)

The thing with those is that you literally can't get the cert without having had the course open for the required n hours. It won't even launch the test for you.

The company I worked for would have the local fire department take the course with all of our clean up folks. When you have to retake the course every year because a lot of people are extremely bad at record keeping, the course turns into 16 hours of actual training and 24 hours of sitting around, bullshitting with fire fighters, EMTs and fabrication lab workers and listening to stories of horrible poo poo told by sociopaths. It was the real-life version of this tread and it was a once a year treat that I looked forward to.

Fat Loser posted:the course turns into 16 hours of actual training and 24 hours of sitting around, bullshitting with fire fighters, EMTs and fabrication lab workers and listening to stories of horrible poo poo told by sociopaths. This sounds like every class I took during my apprenticeship. My boss signed me up for a week long OSHA 30 class and I assumed it was going to be pretty much the same thing, and maybe it would have been except then COVID happened, so he had me do it online. It was the worst class experiece I've ever had. The 'class' was be clicking through what ammounted to PowerPoint slides with accompanying audio reading the slides out loud. Every slide had a timer that wouldn't let you click to the next one until the 'reader' had finished all of the content of the page. Every few slides was an interactive exercise, you had to match terms or put a list of steps in order through click-and-drag interface. This was super annoying to do the few times I tried to use a mobile device instead of my laptop because it wouldn't let me zoom out and it would quickly scroll well past where when my finger approached the edge of the screen. Luckily the interactive parts didn't have a timer so you could just click right to the next slide and completely skip all the excercises. The quiz at the end of each module was 10 multiple choice or true/false questions. Sometimes they were about important parts of the module like dimensions of trench where shoring is to be required. Sometimes they were about not important or memorable things at all like the job title of the person who holds the traffic signs at the edge of road work project. When I finished clicking through each module and all the section quizzes there was a mandatory course evaluation before the final exam. Mostly statements with a strongly disagree to strongly agree scale and a few places where you could type comments. I answered the scale questions honestly and gave what I thought was constructive criticism for how boring and not engaging the course was in the comments sections even though I'm pretty sure nobody is going to read them. Also you can't go back and change your answers after completing the evaluation, I found this out when I tried to go back and and write some very angry things because... After the course evaluation when I clicked on the 'take the final exam' button a message popped up saying: [paraphrased] You clicked through all the slides in 21 hours and 15 minutes. And this is OSHA 30 so go back and review material for almost 9 hours before we let you take the final exam. Also the course software will time out after 15 minutes of inactivity so you can't just disable your computer's screensaver and leave the course on overnight. So for the next few days after work I had the course open and set a timer to go off every 13 minutes on my phone and I would go just hit the 'next' button until the timer hit 30 hours. The final exam was about 30 questions in the same style as the module quizzes, it took about 5 minutes. Would not recommend.

I took OSHA 10 a bit more than a decade ago in a union hall. Did they ever put expirations on those? I remember hearing that being talked about, but didn't stick around long enough in the trade to care. Doesn't taking 30 qualify you to teach 10?

They don’t officially expire but lots of contracts nowadays are calling for record of osha10 for all workers within the last 2 years.
