I can understand company owners not liking OSHA and such but it boggles my mind when actual workers get annoyed with it. You're getting paid by the hour and you're mad at something that makes your job take a tiny bit longer while keeping you bodily intact and alive?

spacetoaster posted:NSFW due to screaming profanity. Dude get's crushed between train cars, but they somehow get the cars stopped and pulled apart before he's strawberry jam. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Btr1wsEwTkE North American railways use "knuckle couplers" which are like two half-open fists that fist-bump and latch onto each other. They can then be remotely or manually uncoupled. Humans don't really need to go near them. Europe is insane and still uses like 1800's technology couplers for the most part where the trains bump up against each other on big bumpers and then a loving chain lashes two hooks together. A human has to go in there and latch and unlatch everything manually and it's super dangerous and bad. Typical european coupler  Typical knuckle coupler

Why is everyone's instinct to seeing a metal cylinder to put it in their pocket and take it home??

Azhais posted:If the company is that inept they deserve to have their electricity stolen. Guy at my company started up the software bitcoin miner a few years ago on a mostly idle rarely used lab computer. It was noticed within 24h and he was reprimanded, then fired a week later when he did it again. God forbid actually setting up hardware in the server room. He didn't get fired the first time then did it again after officially getting reprimanded and probably told if he did anything like that again fired? loving bitcoiners.

Powerful Two-Hander posted:Christ how can "yeah this thing that planes do will never happen so we won't bother teaching you about it" be a sound basis for a pilot training programme. Airlines, like all capitalist ventures, are run by the absolute scum of the earth and they under-pay and under-train pilots while over-working them.

It's also unfair to the chippers because once they've acquired the taste for human blood and associate it with food they have to be destroyed.

There's been some towers in china burning down too. I don't know what's up witht he Dubai one but in China there were hundreds of towers built with an aluminum cladding with iron pigment paints/coating and some other poo poo that when ignited became thermite. When the product tried to come to the west for approval they couldn't actually measure how flammable it was because it got so hot so fast it broke the testing machine. But totally fine to cover a skyscraper in it. The building standards outside the west are really really bad. Even if they're ok on paper, there's so much bribery and corruption and cultural/institutional corner-cutting and graft that you end up with some extremely unsafe buildings and job sites.

We defeated the magnetic security thing on a big laser cutter to try to laser cut someone's finger nails with the power turned down low. Didn't work out so well, he was fine though.

Three-Phase posted:Is this one of these "We bought a panel designed and installed by this A&E firm... then we started making some small modifications... yes we have the original prints but it's been modified so much by so many people the prints are now worthless" situations, or close to that. (Worse variants: "The A&E never gave us the prints" or "this guy who left/died/was fired knew where the prints were".) I'm working on a fairly new building, went up in like the early 2000's or so that just got an addition. It had a fairly old style of fire alarm system in it because the large institution that owns this building decided in the 90's that this will be their forever standard panel/system and the vendor was forever good. Very quickly the fire alarm system landscape shifted and that company is regarded as a relic and that style of panel is regarded as hopelessly dated even by the early 2000s, but they stick with them because large institutions hate change. Anyways, the new addition is constantly activating the old fire alarm system because none of the people who wired it up know anything about this ancient grandpa tech since the other brands are standard now. They've been digging into the system for a month now and everything is an undocumented clusterfuck. The shiny expensive building is barely usable because the fire alarm keeps going off, and to make it not constantly go off they have to compromise the entire system. This is what happens when you let huge institutions make sweeping edicts about technical issues they don't even understand.

I was just at a little facility that sold commercial gases of various types anything dangerous you could possibly drive into had huge bollards protecting them. How did this place have critical valves in the path of idiot's trucks??
