Yo, forklift sister sibling, definitely get her a shirt with skulls and flames and poo poo.

You know the ones I mean.

Also, you better be nice to her because she can totally gently caress you up with that forklift. Even if she's not likely to ever be running it.

Okay so forklift awareness and appreciation is the theme. How about this 650 dollar pewter model forklift from the Hyster-Yale web store?

If you’re too close for sheep in the vicinity to look picturesque, you are too close to the dynamite.

This implies that seven eighths of a mile is as close as you should be to the dynamite.

so how reactive is that dynamite now? will a loud clap set it off? or a strong light?

I once woke up from a nap midday and walked outside to find some emergency vehicles at the end of the block. Turns out that bassy rifle report I heard along the river the previous week was some kids tossing around grandpa's dynamite. I guess I slept through the evacuation notice as they swept through the neighborhood, funny thing was they couldn't diffuse it and had to call out of town to get people to take care of it anyway. That said, considering the kids were setting stuff off I assume it was in better shape, but who knows.

Not quite that sensitive, but it's probably going to be a challenge to move it. Hopefully it's not under the main house.

Probably not, but tossing it a couple metres onto a hard surface could do it.

do the bomb squad let you watch them detonate the sweating dynamite or do they make you stay inside out of "safety" so you dont get to see something explode?

The site I work on used to be a firing range during WW2, but had activity on it dating back to the Napoleonic war. The Canadian Army was billeted there in the run up to D-Day and used some of the dry valleys as target ranges. We occasionally find the remains of 2" mortar rounds in woods. Last time we found one, the bomb squad guys let my colleague press the button to blow it up.

Best day of their life!

I'd be mostly worried about any attempt to move the bag causing the lumps inside to shift in position relative to each other and snap a crystal.

The bag itself is a nightmare.

Why couldn’t grandpa have stored the old dynamite in a box, like a civilized member of society?

No right on red is standard in Finland and I didn't know it could be otherwise until I was an adult. It feels pretty weird to contemplate that there are places where it's legal and normal to run a red if you turn right.

Gummy Bear Heaven ... It's where I go when the world is too mean.
Technically, it's not legal to run a red. One must come to a complete stop and check to make sure there is no traffic coming your way.

For cars, it's not really an issue. It is for pedestrians as the drivers tend to be looking left while driving to the right. I don't know how bad it is statistically, but there's been a few dangerous intersections I've dealt with because of that.

That says a lot more about the capabilities of the average Finn than it does about the entire rest of the world.
