I work with omnidirectional wheeled solid metal carts roughly the surface area of a car and at least half a ton that can and often do roll in random directions regardless of how I'm trying to steer them. these bulk cart fuckers(without the tvs on them):


the amount of people who try to scooch by as it's clearly swinging in a way I'm not intending it to or about to collide with something and nearly getting kneecapped by it is constant every day. and I'd probably get blamed if they got hosed up by it, despite them adamantly not waiting for me to go by and trying to cut through a 20-inch-wide gap or smaller frequently

My favorite irreg driver story was the young lady between noonday and twilight texting and driving that ended up under the drive roller cage on one side of the primary. There was literally nobody there to help her and we found her about twenty feet from the carts. Broken spine, flail chest broken ribs, multiple hand and arm injuries. They paid initially but she ended up getting terminated on video evidence. The train was empty which probably saved her life.

Be careful on those things. I had a full timer early on that was dragging them around an outbound area with his thumbs splayed out on the handles and chopped about a third of his hand off against a structural support. UPS responded by removing a bunch of supports which was even sketchier.

I still say trying to get a combo job is the best hourly route if you don't want to get in management (and I don't blame you). My driver that delivers to my house got a combo smalls sort/early AM package car job and is still thrilled with it years later.

Edit: I almost forgot, we used to have to deliver those Nutting trains when I was on the freight side. Think it's sketchy driving one? Try sticking about nine of them on a short liftgate and delivering to facilities with no tow motor. Extra spicy. We had to brace each one sideways in the trailer to keep it from trying to knock the door off the drat trailer.

I love this video. Can we do Bear Chat, or is that gonna be big derail? gently caress it.

From my limited understanding of ursine issues, black bears (like the one in the video) aren't really all that threatening - comparatively, at least, to grizzlies and (good luck to you) polar bears. "They're basically big raccoons," I've heard from one or two outdoor education instructors. That said, the danger comes in when the bears become too accustomed to humans to give a gently caress anymore.. Seeing one bear cross your property and scaring it off by knocking some sticks together and yelling is one thing, but if that bear thinks it can come around and get some food from your poorly-secured garbage bags and knows all you might do is make a noise, it's going to get bolder around people. That kinda looks like exactly what's happening in this video with these absolutely shook roughnecks. The bear approaches and goes right for their garbage, hanging right next to the drill and no doubt full of Jack Links and Ripped Fuel.

That is definitely not the original audio. I don't know what he's saying, but the engine sounds like an old Formula 1 car.

I saw the original version when it was posted a few months ago, though I can't find it now. If I recall correctly, the fault is more on the red plane than it appears -- he did a straight-in approach to the runway while there was at least one other plane in the traffic pattern, and cut the Cessna off. The Cessna should have seen him, but he shouldn't have been there in the first place.

e: here we go

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tIbdJP-3GM
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSi3LFI0hvk

The video is too short to say for sure, but I would bet that the Cub wasn't flying the pattern, the Cessna was, and the Cessna (1) didn't see the Cub and (2) assumed that he was next in line because he wasn't following anyone else in the pattern. Both are at fault.

according to the replies, apparently all he has is a teleprompter, no video feed. so he heard SOMETHING but didn't realize she'd just been hit by a car on-camera until she said so, which explains well why he raised an eyebrow initially and nothing more.

You're wrong. I guess you could be correct if by "dangerous" you mean "aggressive", but black bears 99% of the time run away from you, probably before you even see them.

These AI upscales/improvements to historical films tend to make historians really testy, because -- like all "AI" systems -- they tend to get things wrong, but people take their output as the truth.

For instance, AI colorization systems have a strong tendency to give everyone blue pants, because blue pants are highly represented in the training datasets. However, people walking down the street in 1895 Paris or whatever were not wearing blue jeans. Even in San Francisco, the home of Levi Strauss, people in 1906 weren't wearing them around everywhere. This video seems to have avoided that particular pitfall, but who knows what other ones might be lurking. Are any of the colors accurate? Who knows!

Upscaling is a bit less controversial than colorization, but it does still create data where there was none, and that's a problem for historical accuracy.

Frame interpolation is probably the least offensive, since it's just enhancing an illusion that already exists, but I'm sure some historians have a problem with it.

There's an excellent Twitter account that only does photos that were already made in early color photography, so he's only enhancing what's already there. This lets you basically see the world 100+ years ago in the exact resolution and color that you would if you time traveled.

I think at one point he says "All I saw was you disappear from the camera" though?

Also, I absolutely lost it at "I was hit by a car in college too". I can't figure out why, but it's honestly the funniest possible thing for her to have said.
