Been doing it for twenty now, came real real close a couple times, but thankfully haven't actually lost anything yet.

However, just this year I've left my handcart behind 3 different times and have had to circle back to a stop to grab it. What a fun new trick for my brain to come up with :argh:

Oh, no. Where's my handheld? Where's my handheld!?

(Twenty minutes of tearing the shelf apart later)

Ah, there it is. With the stale, where I always leave it.

Everything goes back in it's place. Except when it doesn't. Even then...

Also something I couldn't figure out but I always noticed the F-16's sounded way louder even though the F-18's had two of those engines....

They don't have the same engines, is the thing. The F-16's a single engine which produces about 17,000-18,000lbs of thrust, or about 30,000 with afterburner. The F-18 has two significantly smaller engines of about 11,000 lbs of thrust, or pushing 18,000 in afterburner. The E/F model has two GE F404 engines that are a bit more powerful than that, but still considerably less powerful than the F-16's.

This morning I saw a box truck merrily driving along with the back door open, randomly dropping its cargo along the way


Thankfully, the cargo was big bags of packing peanuts. Even so, it's probably for the best that no one plowed into one

One of the funniest nights I've had working Amazon was watching management freak out when somehow someone failed to close the door on one of the trucks (or the door popped back open) and the driver starts to drive off to the distribution center with the back open...while it's raining. Cue management freaking out about several hundred shipments being ruined due to falling out, water damage, etc. The trailer yard being shut down so they can make sure they found everything. Carts loads of soggy/damaged/half crushed boxes being brought back to the pack areas so people can figure out which shipments are utter write-offs and which ones just need a new box.

Asbestos pipe wrap has kind of shifted to be the workers problem sadly. Entombment will fix it, unless wetting down and respirators will fix it, and anyway it's not our fault you breathed asbestos because you knew where it was and how to avoid it even though we had 50 years to do a real abatement.

The last time I saw a valve like that we all had obviously compromised judgement about chemical risk because it was 200ft from a pure fluorine reactor.

Once I was behind a FedEx package car with the rear doors open and flopping around. I pulled up beside her at a stoplight and shouted over that they were open and her reply was a perfect feminine version of wilhelm_scream.wav

Boss bought a new truck for cheap, someone can-opened it. Cab looks decent but I don't know who he's hired to replace the box; only recently finally fired the mechanic that was going to get us all killed.

He passed away in a vehicle crash in 2018 and it seems like he may have crashed deliberately. People close to him say that he was struggling with his mental health as none of his inventions really took off.
