My car won't be truly self driving until I can order and pay for food online then send my own car to the drive thru where it rolls down the window, they huck my order onto the seat and it brings it home for me.

Stexils posted:having to watch the road and be ready to take over from the car at any second in order to avert disaster the AI can't handle actually sounds more demanding/stressful than totally manual driving. like having a player 2 controller and control shifting over to you at some random point. it really really sucks. asking a human to pay close attention and do absolutely nothing 99.9% of the time is essentially asking them to not pay attention at all, a problem which gets worse the better the tech gets. until you can say "feel free to not pay attention, you'll have a reasonable amount of time after we alert you before you actually need to do anything" it's not a significant improvement.

Just get a private chauffeur! Now I know, I know, it's expensive. But just how many hours a day do you need to be driven places? With a revolutionary new app, you can share your private driver with friends and neighbors and split the costs!

I had a job like that once. I had to sit by the road with a speed radar and write down the time, direction of travel, and speed of every driver who went by in a 4 hour span. I thought, cool, this sounds super easy and I can just sit here and read, or...uh...oh wait, all I can do is stare at the road, my watch, and the radar for the entire afternoon. This was well before podcasts, and I didn't have a source for books on tape. Also, apparently pizza delivery only works if you're at an actual address, not, "Sitting in the brown Honda on a road in the valley."

These days you could drop a pin on Google Maps and it would give you an address that the pizzeria would dutifully drive to, even though no one receives mail at that address.

Zil posted:I can't rub one out on the bus like I can in my self-driving car. That sounds like quitter talk. We just fired a guy at our job (he didn't even have a month in yet) because he blatantly disregarded safety. Dude was walking around vertical glass being transported with no PPE on. The driver of the truck and several ground guys were yelling at him and he just shrugged it off like it was nothing. Had another one working around a machine with no loto or PPE straight up tell a supervisor that they hope they get hurt. The stupidity of people never ceases to amaze me.

Just wanted to make a call back to the radium painters and how much poo poo they had to do for labor justice. The state of Kentucky recently passed a law that required miners seeking compensation for occupational exposure must have their chest xrays read by a very short list of 6 pulmonologists. Who all happen to have been on the payroll of coal companies for years specifically to snake miners out of deserved health care related to their occupation. Radiologists are the physician specialists that almost universally read these chest xrays, so it is all the more suspect that only pulmonologists from the coal companies can certify if a miner has a valid compensation case.

been saying for years people should start standing their ground and blast dudes that pull poo poo like that since that's actually trying to kill them so the company can make an extra buck of course this is the real world so they'd nail you to the wall as an example so lol

On top of all the other bullshit, the fact that is was radium and not phosphorous actually did make a difference. At one point, the watchmakers had run out the clock on the statute of limitations and almost got the whole thing tossed out of court. "Can't hold us accountable, the injury in question was years ago" Until one of their attorneys successfully argued that, though the radium entered their bones years ago, it was still radiating to this day. In effect, they were being injured anew every day.

maybe they could not use it when they don't know what's in the container. seems like that'd solve the issue

In some cases, let it burn while preventing the fire from spreading.

If it’s too big for a class D extinguisher and it’s burning somewhere that isn’t equipped to seal the chamber and starve it of oxygen, either drop sand on it from a helicopter or wait it out. Even halon feeds a magnesium fire.

lost another at the plant today. had a foreman playing hacky sack with another floor worker above the iron smelter and lost his balance and fell over the rail. he landed next to the pot luckily but the weight of him falling off shook the walkway (suspended with wire ties to the connecting joints to save money) and the other guy dropped his slurpee into the molten iron and the foreman took a splash of liquid metal to the face. goddamn hippie.
