War is definitely OSHA. I knew a KBR contractor who was basically trapped in a hotel in Qatar because his entire company was in the process of getting investigated by Congress. The base he worked at had AC units whose condensers drained directly into ungrounded electrical boxes. If the floor of the shower got too wet, people would get electrocuted.

I don't think America has much room to diss on other armies as far as corruption goes. We just spend so much the graft doesn't really impact our capacity for unmitigated genocide.

Also on the subject of military OSHA, we do a lot of training and certification for soldiers and contractors. One year we got a Navy contractor who came down from South Carolina to train and test. About 2 years later I got a call from the supply sergeant at his base, saying he never got his certification card.

It took me a bit to pull up all the info and find someone who remembered the guy. Apparently after failing his practical exam he just ran. Didn't try to retest or take any of his writtens. He got in his car, drove all the way back from Florida, and didn't say a word. Told everyone he passed and they'd mail the card. It took 2 years for them to finally realize he was still missing his card and called us.

I wish I was there to see the chewing out he got.

I don't know if you read the article but that is not a tool you can buy. That is an angle grinder with a carbide-toothed milling cutter mounted on the arbor, contrary to the directions of every angle grinder and milling cutter manufacturer on the planet. It sure does rip through metal extremely fast! But it is also extraordinarily unsafe and should not be used for any purpose, because the teeth have a tendency to grab into the material and twist the tool back into your hands or face.

You can make a (relatively) safe tool with similar functionality by mounting two counter-rotating cutters on the same shaft. That prevents the kickback that makes the single-bladed version so dangerous. But that tool is more expensive than just taking a cheap regular angle grinder and sticking an unapproved cutter on the arbor, so...

I think he means like metabos are fine, if you are using abrasion discs because its just a motor on a stick, you got no leverage on it for anything else but it being mostly lateral force.

You can get hand rotary saws that look a lot like a metabo. I don't recommend it, but if you're like a shipyard and you want to mostly avoid your hired help going to the emergency room everyday you can get them. The extra side handle coming is huge to help to two hand it in a counter balanced way so you can, you know, have a lever's chance in not sending the thing into your face.

I mean realistically your brain probably isn’t going to start processing anything as pain until the lizard brain part is satisified that you’re not in further immediate danger, but yeah the “that’s my foot, what’s it doing over there” shock is going to be rough
