Kenning posted:Strictly speaking, all of these except busking are the purview of tramps, rather than hobos. Remember the following taxonomy: What kind of work is available to hobos nowadays? They used to go door to door and offer to do outside tasks for the woman of the house, ditto ditto businesses, but I'd think that would be just about impossible.

Before the plague you could always get a job washing dishes pretty easily. I imagine there's still stuff like that around. Depends on how long you're in town I guess.

In 2009 I lived in nowhere Alaska for a summer and needed a job so I walked around to anywhere that was a business and asked for work. I ended up washing dishes at a bar. Never really thought about my hobo days until now.

I actually meant people who still identify as "hobos" per se. I think they still have a convention or gathering or whatever.

HolHorsejob posted:I'm surprised there isn't, like, a giant saddle valve for safely puncturing these things. E. I've told the story in a past version of the thread, or maybe the chemistry thread, about the refrigerant plant they makes fresh refrigerant, but also recoups heels and leftovers from returned ton cylinders. When a ton cylinder was too rough for customer duty they used them to hold antimony fluoride and HF for superacid catalyst processes. One of these got mixed up and sent to customer as refrigerant. They sent it back because the valve was frozen (dodged a bullet there). Well it weighed full so off to recoup where a guy straps it down and takes the valve off and gets sprayed with antimony, dying days later from the chemical burns. Not everyone gets to dodge that bullet so uhhh better take hazcom seriously. zedprime fucked around with this message at 18:48 on Dec 6, 2021 |

There are still some train hobos on Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EH5LrdMgfM&t=2830s Not stobe though. Incident not pictured FYI. quote:The update to Jim Stobie (Stobe the Hobo) Our friend James Stobie, aka Stobe the Hobo, died Wednesday the 8th of November, 2017. He was trapped on a bridge with an on coming Amtrak train, and while he got to the side of the bridge the best he could, the train caught his backpack and and pulled him into the train. The police identified his remains from fingerprints from the Coast Guard records Friday, and notified his parents.

Speaking of OSHA thread worthy youtube hobos, Check out Shoestring https://www.youtube.com/c/TheHoboShoestring/videos. From an article on him : quote:He was hurt one time while traveling on the Kansas City Southern Railroad in Pittsburg, Kansas. He fell and had a pinky and ring finger on top of the rail. The train ran over his fingers.

Kith posted:fwoosh When my high school chemistry class started doing stuff with fire, we went through a short safety rundown. Part of the process was that, if anyone were to light something on fire that they couldn't control, they were to say, "Code 1, code 1," until the teacher came and helped. The teacher put the paper down on his podium, sighed, and said, "Just yell that you're on fire. If anyone ever says 'code 1', I will come over there and make sure you're even MORE on fire."
