Preoptopus posted:This happened to a guy on a winter highway in Minnesota or something. His driveshaft on his truck fell off and he reattached it. And threw his wrenches and all the tools from under the truck in order to leave. Before realizing his head was caught trapped by the drive shaft and exhaust. People kept driving by him seeing his feet sticking out from under the truck thinking oh its just some dude working on his truck and he froze to death. I'm so sorry I read this. I hope it's an urban legend Otherwise he must have kicked his feet frantically when he heard cars until until exhaustion overcame him I suppose

I like some big yellow on my dog but that's a little over the top. Could have laid down some nice dimes and still had just the right amount.

This reminds me that you see a lot of memes and cornball t-shirts about being a forklift operator, which is a relatively easy license to get (poo poo I should renew mine). But I've never seen any memes or t-shirts about being the guy who runs the big crane on a construction site. You'd think those guys would be King poo poo in the smug blue-collar meme hierarchy.

Did that at university to printers all over campus. Nothing offensive, just silly stuff like “INSERT COIN.” I was a student IT worker, so I heard that the printer admin went crazy, thought we were being hacked, and completely restricted access to talk to the printers so everything had to run through the print server. Like hell I admitted it lol.

Weave is prettier, but stringers put less heat into the material for the same strength.

Re: Crane chat, I am an accomplished truck and forklift fuckler and y'all can have those loving things. I was always jealous of the guys running the marine dock cranes when I was up it Boston, I'll admit. Since then I've only ever dealt with the train version locally but the big boys are insane. Even with a 53' TOFC one of the most amazing things I have ever seen was one get picked up with waterbeds loaded in the middle and it just ripped it in half. You couldn't pay me enough to get up in the tall ones.

We've had two crane collapses in the past couple of years here, and a few weeks ago some poor construction worker got snagged on the line and lifted into the air.

Toronto. One I don't remember where but the other one was right at Dundas and River. The guy dangling from the crane happened way earlier than I thought, in June, and he was waaay further up than I remembered. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8Xx_hxV2z0

Like hell I admitted it lol. I did that to a couple of printers at work. I think one was unnoticed for a week or so, the other someone laughed, then rebooted it. Although I made sure to not run it on any printer that wasn't in IT. I had more luck with printing out the fake voice activated printer sheet. That had one of the more highstrung data entry people yelling at it.
