Right now the sex arses need to detour via Skagerrak, and there are probably a number of vessels stuck in the canal. So sex arse distribution to and from the Baltic sea is blocked.

Just goes to show how capitalism uses up people and spits them out. My grandfather proudly worked his rear end day in and day out only to see the entire industry be made redundant with artificial arses. Disgusting.

We recently updated our “what to do if someone shows up at work wanting to do violence,” training at work (not the sort of business where that happens often, but I’m sure it’s covering some liability the auditors demand we address.) If you’re in pretty much any country in the world, the training is to “run, hide, call the authorities.” In the US, it’s been updated to, “run, hide, call the authorities, and also feel free to fight them.” This is fine.

meatpimp posted:On a smaller rubber mill like that... maybe. On a production 60" mill, it's a hard, dangerous job. The rollers are heated hot as gently caress, so everything is hot, the material is often sticky, and the machine is designed to pull material into the rollers... and those things will mill you just as easily as they do rubber. You know the saddest part about this? I probably would still do this for fun if it weren't for the heat, gently caress that. Crush my arms all you want but don't cause me to sweat.

zedprime posted:If someone is just there with an intent to murder there's nothing to lose in attacking them if you're stuck and already ran down the run hide escalation list. The US thing here is that this happens enough to figure that out. Our training at work goes "Run, hide, fight if necessary," in that order. They also specifically say multiple times that if you have a gun for God's sake only use it as a last resort for self defense because if you get the bright idea to go looking for the attacker the police will probably think it's you and shoot you.

Splode posted:I remember reading about snapping turtles in a picture book when I was a little kid. I think the difference is that with the American dangerous animals it's real easy to avoid most of those - just don't go to where they are. There's also a ton of separation in habitat - alligators are basically a Florida thing, bears are a northern states thing, and mountain lions are a western thing (and especially with mountain lions, you almost never see them even in states where they live because they tend to stay away from humans. Bears too to some extent - black bears are basically large raccoons unless you A) get between mother and cub or B) they've become used to humans and have lost their fear, in which case they're usually culled. Grizzlies at this point are solely an Alaska thing). Compare that to snakes and spiders which can be anywhere and you may not see them until it's too late. Also, even your "non-dangerous" spiders aren't something I'd want to have around - clockspider is a meme for a reason. I don't have a pathological fear of spiders, though I don't love them either, but a huntsman a foot in diameter popping out from your toilet seat, behind your clock, or, as I understand it, from above your car sunvisor, is not on my list of desired daily experiences. We do have dangerous snakes and spiders (and scorpions) here but most people don't encounter them unless you go out in the country. And the real problem is not Australia's relatively normal dangers like snakes and spiders, it's that you have insane things like the gympie-gympie and blue ring octopus. Seriously, a plant that embeds thousands of microscopic needles in your skin that cause immense pain for up to years afterwards? gently caress. That. poo poo. A tiny octopus that fits in your hand and can deliver a bite you don't feel that can kill within minutes using one of the most potent neurotoxins around that has no known anti-venom? NOPE NO SIR I'LL BE LEAVING YOUR COUNTRY NOW. Not to mention, since you brought up alligators, that the NT has crocodiles. Most alligators are pretty drat small and many wouldn't attack an adult human (toddlers at Disney are another story), but crocs? Hooboy. It's not as bad as the others since the same "just don't go to there" argument applies but my point is that everything scary or dangerous in Australia is ten times more so than really anywhere else, but certainly than in the US.

As someone who used to have to do a lot of active shooter drills, the thing to keep in mind is there is going to be a ton of confusion. No two reports would give the same description of a shooter. Sometimes they would be reported as a short Hispanic male, a tall black man, an average height white man and the occasional report of the shooter being a woman. In that case it was a white deputy with a cop haircut, cop mustache, and cop body language. But the reports with wildly different appearances were sincere. Hell, two witness were happy with argue with me that it was a black man. Assuming the cops are going their job, which is a big assumption, the thing they are going to be looking for is "person with a gun". It's why the crowd demanding we arm teachers are some of the dumbest motherfuckers around. That's just going to lead to teachers getting shot. And the reality is that even if a teacher feels like confronting an active shooter, shooting under stress is hard. It's why we see the headlines of "Cops shoot at suspect 48 times, hit him 3 times killing them." I'm not sure where teachers are eager to take their remaining 10 minutes of free time a week to spend it practicing shooting.

It's why the crowd demanding we arm teachers are some of the dumbest motherfuckers around. That's just going to lead to teachers getting shot. A number of years ago, the state legislature of Arizona tried to pass a law that would allow students and teachers to carry guns on state university campuses (i.e. ASU and U of A). The student unions were strongly opposed to it for obvious reasons. The faculty unions were strongly opposed to it for obvious reasons. The president of ASU wrote an open letter to the newspaper saying "there is no possible benefit to carrying weapons on our campus. We are no longer the wild west." The Phoenix police department put out a statement saying it was a terrible idea, and giving a hypothetical example where there's a shooter on campus and the police arrive to find several people pointing guns at each other in a standoff -- how do they know who is the bad guy? Literally everyone with any skin in the game hated the idea. The only reason it existed was because some Republican state legislators wanted to get some second amendment cred with their shithead voters. Ugh

Lol, almost. They can be anywhere that butts up to a body of water in Florida, no matter how small. Places I have found alligators: underneath trucks and cars, in the neighbor's pool, in the communal pool, in the flooded casement of a stationary scissor-lift, behind some pallets, in the middle of the road, across an entire protected left turn lane (being stared at by a very confused policeman), under a porch, on a porch, in a dirty towel bin, you get the idea.

It's the NRA and Sheriffs that push that poo poo. Within ACAB different kinds of cops have different kinds of shittness. Sheriffs tend to be more likely to be elected to their position than other kinds of cops. This means they draw dumb fucks who want to spew conspiracy nonsense. And since they come from the ranks of cops or cop wanna bes, they skew conservative. I'm not saying all of the stupid poo poo said by law enforcement comes from Sheriffs but the kind of really brain hurting poo poo tends to be them.

sigher posted:Not gonna lie I kinda want to do that for fun. Come on over to the last place I worked and you can do it all day for $14/hr. The rubber is black Styrene-Butadiene and the rollers are double the size of oil drums. The rubber you'll chuck in at the top gets squeezed through, and after it's mixed you'll cut off strips from the roll to weigh and throw into a compression mold across the way. What's not readily apparent is that the friction of all this generates a ton of heat, which helps to melt the rubber but also burns your hands if you're not wearing felt gloves... which really suck. If you think the factory will have air conditioning, think again. Also if you think the factory will have adequate lighting.., think again again. e: oh, for the OSHA part.. yeah, there's a trip wire all around the top of the device that you're meant to grab that will stop the rollers. By the time you've grabbed them and the inertia wears off, you're probably going to be halfway through, so you're really just choosing between dying fast or dying slow. It helps that the top of the thing is above head height, and you just chuck the rubber into the rollers like shooting hoops. NoWake fucked around with this message at 00:41 on Dec 1, 2022 |

This is probably good enough content for the osha thread!    This garbage road went on for ages and eventually lead to a massive sand mine? there was loads of sand and trucks everywhere.
