No. 6 posted:This is exactly what I thought happened What's surprising is that their pet chimp was not the one to attack them; they were visiting him at a refuge and were attacked by two other chimps who had gotten out of their enclosure. Shortly afterwards, their chimp got out and disappeared into the California countryside, never to be seen again - so it seems that refuge had some real problems with containment.

this was how both of the eyewashes on the production side of the loving injectable drug plant I worked at looked when you ran them, and both were at least 20 feet away from the nearest drain. EH&S procedure was standard copy, with a whisper out the side of the mouth "*get someone to find the EH&S person on duty (if they are there, there are only 2 and they will not be there on your night shift) and get them to provide you with disposable eyewash bottles that are locked in a cage in their office, but also just wear goggles and safety glasses all the time and nothing will happen probably" MrQwerty fucked around with this message at 17:08 on Oct 7, 2023 |

A ton of places are simply too understaffed/poorly maintained to keep up with it, though.

I like to think that Moe escaped into the woods, hopped a train, and eventually got a job as a farmhand in some rural town where nobody asks too many questions. He don't talk much but he's real good with the animals y'know  MrQwerty posted:this was how both of the eyewashes on the production side of the loving injectable drug plant I worked at looked when you ran them, and both were at least 20 feet away from the nearest drain. Our stations drain directly out a pipe on the bottom onto the floor. Supposedly the water goes down the floor drain ten feet away, but if you're running it for the proper 15 minutes, you're going to have quite a flood to deal with regardless. It seems ridiculous to me, but I suppose the idea is that it's better to have an eyewash station that makes a mess than to not have one at all because you couldn't plumb it into a sewer? Or maybe that setup was legal at some point and it was grandfathered in? I'm sure it contributed to the 5 years of non-maintenance I mentioned, though. You gotta attach a fitting and run a hose to the drain if you don't want to flood the shop with every inspection.

Or maybe that setup was legal at some point and it was grandfathered in? There was a wholesale shower station in the dedicated chemistry lab at my high school which IIRC had just a bit of tile and a single drain with nothing to prevent the water from spilling all over the room. I guess the logic was that if somebody got exposed to something so hazardous (or got set on fire) that they needed to immediately be doused in water then the resulting water damage to the building was an ancillary concern. I wanna say the setup had an eyewash station of some sort too but it's been so long I can't remember. There was a sink right next to it as was the standard in classrooms here for some inexplicable reason, not that it'd be much help if you needed to rinse out your eyes.

The horrifying thing that happened is 100% exactly what you’d think. “When his pet chimp got put in a sanctuary, he got mauled by one of the other chimps at the sanctuary” is not really much of a twist. Do not mess around with chimps.

No, I think it's still a pretty surprising twist. When two people raise a chimpanzee like their son and keep insisting that he's sweet and gentle and wouldn't hurt a fly, the expected outcome is that eventually their sweet baby reverts to ape mode and eats their faces. Nobody is surprised. So the story is yes, the guy did get his face eaten by a chimpanzee in the end -- but it was a totally different chimpanzee that happened to escape its cage while they were visiting Moe. In theory it could have happened to anyone at the sanctuary that day. Lol Moe never hurt anyone aside from biting that one lady's finger. When they put him in the sanctuary he was listless and sad and stopped eating, and eventually he just escaped and disappeared. Maybe he really was as kind and gentle as they said.

My grandfather was a handy fellow, and lived in his house for over 50 years. When he died and we went to sell the house we ran into problems because we discovered the full extent of his DIY work in the electrical, plumbing and heating systems. Let’s just say he was a man who considered the building code a ‘suggestion’, at best.

I think that four feet tall humanoids with five times the strength of a normal adult human, giant fangs and a considerable capacity for climbing and learning might just generally be hard to contain. What they can't break, they can climb over, and what they can't break or climb over, they can probably puzzle their way around.

It is kind of a worst case scenario, isn't it. I'm reminded of someone warning that the problem with keeping a racoon as a pet is that they are incredibly curious, kind of clever, and have opposable thumbs.

This is one of those “well duh” moments but it occurs to me that here in Vancouver there aren’t any guards on the opposite side a vehicle enters from to prevent exactly this. But I guess wherever this is the idea of someone trying to sneak over the crossing on a diagonal is the more pressing concern.

In that moment you just have to punch it and push through the guards. They're a deterrent not a cage.

Nobody is surprised. I didn't read the article and I could be way wrong on this but: I remember watching a documentary on this incident and I think the two chimps were thought to have made a targeted attack. It was thought that they were jealous of the attention Moe was getting and/or viewing him as invading their territory. They were separated from Moe so couldnt do anything to Moe and attacked his humans basically out of spite.

To stop at the thing you’ve literally been trained to stop at is an understandable reaction while under stress I think. Bad design, if you expect people to keep driving then don’t put anything in the way.

Guy was a hell of a finish carpenter, and mistakenly assumed that that skill set extended to plumbing & electric. It did not. Oakum to ‘seal’ a 1-1/2” galvanized pipe into a 4” cast-iron waste line. Flying splices in the attic crawls, no wire nuts or boxes, just twist ‘em together & ball it up with friction tape. House should have burned down at least four times.
