I have never been to a bog, but the old PBS Mystery! episode of Hound of the Baskervilles, where the guy gets sucked into the bog at the end and the peaty water goes into his mouth, scared the crap out of me as a kid. It's still pretty creepy as an adult. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXo_iH_w1xw&t=5859s Won't be catching ME running around on a bog.

I've fallen into a bog a few times, usually it's not dangerous, just annoying since all your clothes are now full of water and swamp. When you fall through, you instinctively grab the moss on your sides, so even if it's deep you won't go under. You don't really get sucked in or anything, it's easy to dislodge yourself by just calmly moving back and forth. If your boots aren't tightly fastened, you might lose those. It's also easy to lose stuff from your pockets and you will absolutely never see that poo poo again. It only becomes a real problem if you're injured or exhausted and can't pull yourself out because of that, or if it's cold enough that hypothermia and frostbite set in before you can get back to a warm place. Animals sometimes die in bogs because they panic and exhaust themselves to death. That being said, if the moss starts to undulate like under those girls, don't be an idiot, backtrack and find another route.

You can basically just float in swampy terrain/quicksand/sucking mud. The problem is carpets are dangerous because if you make a hole and fall through you're not gonna be able to find that hole again. e. same thing happens to people dicking around with their pool's solar or winterizer covers

I lost a horse in a bog like that. Poor ol' Artax, thought of depression and died.

This reminded me of a video of a chess champion playing against a power tool and almost getting punched in the face by it. I had a lot of trouble finding it because that thing seems to have happened to him at several occasions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTWM7LA540Y

I thought crash cart was slang for a buggy full of poo poo in a hospital, like a defibrillator, monitors, poo poo needed to reverse a flat liner.

It was a DocWagon competitor that was sometimes doing really, really messed up things with the patients they picked up. It was a less expensive alternative until they went down in a huge scandal early in the game's timeline.

I was curious so I looked at the site, and it's looks like it's more complicated (and not entirely unreasonable). https://www.klim.com/Ai-1-Airbag-Vest-3046-000 It looks like you are buying a $400 vest, and then get the option to either finance or purchase outright the electronics module. However, the module costs another $400 if purchased outright. Instead, you can finance the module monthly or yearly, and then after 3 years upgrade to the newest module for free (and restart financing payments on it) or buy the module you have for an additional $100. Also looks like you can pause payments in the offseason, for better or worse. Either way, they end up getting the better of you if you finance it, so that's not great. It's basically a cell phone model crossed with a car leasing model. But I have no idea why they tried to spin financing as a subscription, aside from "services and subscriptions" being a popular tech company (scam) business model that traditional companies try to emulate.

Automobiles of the future are just bait cars that you finance. When you stop making payments all the doors lock and it drives you straight to debtor's prison.

I didn't pay my seat belt bill this month, so they don't latch anymore. Just hook the strap into the hook I screwed into the center console.

Sankara posted:Why would anyone buy such a thing? IDK about how many people ride with a Klim airbag, but i see people buying Dainese D-air vests occasionally. Still a bit expensive and bulky for the average rider. Why? For the same reasons you'd buy a car with an airbag. All drivers are out to kill you, an airbag makes it less likely that they'll succeed.

Seems like the hard hat did its job, at least. I guess technically the flesh-toed shoes also provided exactly as much protection as they're designed to.

a primate posted:Ok yea that seems like a pretty OSHA job. poo poo, the store I work at has cash pickup through Garda. There's been at least a couple times where they're so understaffed they pull up and one dude gets out. And it turns out he's the only guy and just leaves the armored car sitting at the curb while he picks up the deposits. There's no way in ever-living gently caress that's proper procedure for them. Garda is pretty drat OSHA itself, there's been tons of accidents involving their trucks. And a lot of whistleblowers reporting almost absolute lack of maintenance. There's one report in here about a truck with no drivers seat, just a bucket to sit on. https://projects.tampabay.com/projects/2020/investigations/garda-world/armored-trucks/

I've watched their trucks, at that specific location, ram into each other while trying to leave the DC. They don't pay well. Good thing I failed the drug test!
