"Identity Crisis" MurdererWild Guess Bizarro #1Bizarro"Me am first one I suspect!"

I’ve seen a nicely placed ‘end in the ground’ barrier in a rural area in Texas that was on a left bend at the end of a long straight stretch of road. On a 70mph highway where most people clock 80+.

Could probably hit that thing and Dukes of Hazzard yourself all the way into Louisiana.

- Range Officer

Unless you opened every single box of ammo that part is easy and whoever is in charge of the ammo at the range should have a running count of how much ammo is left and how much has been given. There's no avoiding counting it, how many rounds by type is reported every time a range is closed.

My view is if you do something questionable that could get you in trouble and you film it and post it online then you have no one to blame but yourself. Rookie mistake.

100% that TRADOC commander made some phone calls that eventually worked their way down to some battalion operations officer getting chewed out about something they're unaware of. The battalion commander will surely be pissed off about having negative attention from that high up so there's no telling what kind of restrictions will be put in place to prevent this "from happening again".

So we're decommissioning a box plant and the riggers showed up last night and dropped a 34,000 lb forklift with a DOM placard of 1971 on the dock. It won't start due to a faulty switch and they won't be back for 2 weeks. It was blocking half the shipping dock and they said it was OK to just "push it out of the way".

Sure

Honestly all of the placards except for the DOM are eroded off so I had to google the weight of a modern Hyster with the same capacity. Wouldn't be surprised if it's heavier.

We just shipped out a pair of rollgrabs at 20,200 apiece.

Forklifts have to lift very heavy weights at the front without tipping over or rolling, so they have HUGE counterweights at the back.

You just need another forklift that can lift 34k.

Edit, seconding the hot wire suggestion, or a screwdriver "key".

If you are driving a forklift the world is your crumple zone :killdozer:, I have personally witnessed one knock a 40cm deep buried bollard clean out of the ground and I have also inspected a 15mm thick steel H beam that had a nice rectangular hole punched clean through it by a forklift tine.

Another thing with forklifts is that the tines can have pretty sharp corners on them, one of the forklift drivers at my old work got about 6cm long slice into his scalp bumping into one while trying to fix up a partly collapsed pallet load :gonk: so so much blood.

What an incredible coincidence! I was just talking with my co-worker about how much our little powered fork-truck weighs. I estimated it at about 4500 lbs, and was off by less than a hundred. He was shocked that something that little would weigh that much. The lift capacity is like 2200lbs.
