That's a 2016 reupload and he's one of the few youtuber that acts on comments. Dude actually reads the comments and takes "suggestions." He wears eyes and ears now and bought his previous dog a life vest/grab harness after a really lovely near drowning and doesn't have his current dog in the shop while welding anymore because people pointed out that dogs don't know to "safety squint." I've chewed him out in the comments, alongside a lot of others, about a few of those things and he immediately corrected them.

Dude actually cares and a "hey bro, here's a safer way to do things" actually results in changes. He even started getting engineering signoffs for his changes to his container castle.

Dude is still weird as hell for having that much enclosed party space while leaving the living area unheated and overlooking his shop space.

So, are those things preprogrammed for a specific move guessing what the opponent might do?

That's how the shareware Bot Fight I paid for in the 90's worked. You programmed it ahead of time and the bots duke it out with no remote control. It's way more fun to watch participate in than the remote vehicle robo-wars machines.

At first I thought is was just a straight drop one instead of one of those ones that shoots back up (Or I think I even saw one that drops the seats on cables and turns into one of those big swing rides), but then it tilted the seats forward and oh jesus, nope.

Possums are pretty much harmless to humans and they kill a bunch of bad insects we don't like so they are a net good in addition to being weird and adorable.

quote:

TIFU by laughing after a guy got his arm ripped off at work

Well this is gonna be a rough one, I’m still reeling from shock of this whole ordeal. I work in a factory with a large number of large machines and such, and on any one day we have numerous accidents, not due to equipment failure but more so the lack of attention put to the actual jobs themselves, so it’s not unusual to see someone’s hand ripped and bloody from accident my running it through the metal plainer. But anyways.

There’s probably 12 guys on the night shift crew, which is the first mistake here, that number is drastically low, it’s an 8k sqft factory and 12 guys including myself run it all and train new hires (key detail). Well tonight of all night we have 3 guys call out and I have to train a new hire, only having been there a month myself, another gently caress up. So we’re horrendously understaffed for a system that runs incredibly fast, and on top of all that I have probably one of the most unaware and idiotic people I have ever met, when I tell you this guy would’ve probably eaten rock if I told him they tasted good, he would’ve. We get maybe an hour into the shift as I’m training him, and I work with a very large system of presses, metal presses with belts that run them (the belts are between 2100 and 3000 rpm’s) so as we work he’s helping me, I’m giving this guy the simplest tasks possible as to avoid an accident, loving lol. Then one of the supers comes in finally to give me a rundown, and in the 30 or so seconds we were talking this new hire walks over to the belts and i believe he tried to grab a piece of cloth or something behind it, failing to realize that the machine is running, and grabs this cloth, as he’s pulling it out the cloth catches on the belt and rips his arm off, like clean tear right about mid bicep.

I immediately rip me belt off and wrap it as tight as I can around this dudes arm to stop him from bleeding out. (We already wear gloves to do our jobs, so I wasn’t worried about disease and such). I call code over the radios and everyone runs over. Now here’s where the really hosed up part happens, all this guy could think about was gas prices “I’m gonna have to stop working and gas prices are gonna kill me” well this supervisor that I was talking to comes over, and he kicks the dudes now severed arm, and says “well gas is really costing people and arm and a leg now” and at this point I’m so loving nervous I just burst out laughing, I don’t know what came over me but I just started hysterically laughing. So I’m sitting there holding this dudes arm, belt around it and my feet on either side of the belt pushing to get as much force on that artery as possible, laughing like a psycho and low and behold the plant manager comes around, absolutely pissed because he only heard me laughing and walks around to that loving scene. So I’m probably hosed, they sent everyone home on a paid day off, I’m in administrative leave until further notice, the guy made it to the hospital in okay condition all thing considered I was told.

See, that's kind of unfair to me. He did everything right and the only thing he did wrong was bursting out in uncomfortable laughter. Some people do that when they're uncomfortable. My loving wife does too.

Why is the loving supervisor who made the joke at Flipper Fred's expense not being placed on administrative leave?
