Baronjutter posted:I've seen so many gifs of warehouses collapsing like that. Now, I'm sure this would 100% kill the entire economy, but maybe warehouse shelving should be built to slightly more robust standards with a little structural redundancy ?? 100% someone did the math and concluded it would be less expensive to build cheap shelves and just replace the workers/merchandise lost when they occasionally collapse than it would be to be to build them properly. I mean I agree with you but I would bet one of my less useful appendages it was a deliberate choice at some point.

PHIZ KALIFA posted:I just had a really unfun realization: The west never really outlawed slavery. Outside of prison labor, which is 100% just slavery with more steps, we've exempted certain industries from regulations, then staffed those industries almost 100% with undocumented workers. Undocumented people can't even invoke the basic human rights protection of their country of residence, meaning they are 100% at the mercy of their employers. This is literally the 13th Amendment.

Fallom posted:Why the gently caress do I have to “donate” my body to get blown up instead of selling it for 4 large directly? Yeah that's the part that pisses me off, that someone besides the family of the deceased is making the profit off what was meant to be a charitable deed. If the army wants to blow me up they can pay my wife and not the body warehouse I donated myself to. It would be like being an organ donor and finding out the hospital charged the recipient $20,000 for your kidney (not the surgery but the organ itself) and your family got nothing. Although they probably do do something like that knowing this ghoul factory of a country. Imagined fucked around with this message at 19:52 on Aug 15, 2019 |

minato posted:Tangential to this: For some real OSHA fun, I highly recommend reading Eric Schlosser's "Command & Control" about US nuclear weapon security. It focuses on the Damascus Titan missile explosion (which is a great story in itself) but there are also many reports of other accidents. Reading this book I found out, by talking about it with a coworker who I guessed would be interested in it, that said coworker had been a Commander at SAC in Little Rock during the 80s, just after Damascus. He's promised to show me some of his collection of cool stuff from that time. On the plus side, I did guess correctly that he would be interested.

When you look up any crazy element or chemical discovered more than about 50 years ago you'll always see notes about what it tastes like. Apparently combining random poo poo and seeing how it tasted was just how chemists rolled back in the day.

I've always wondered how a steel mill or similar facility cleans up a spill like that. How do you get hardened steel puddles off the floor and ceiling once they've cooled to room temperature?

Old Swerdlow posted:I was on edge the entire video once she brought out the mandolin and wasn’t using a guard or chain link glove. Those things hunger for flesh. One time my wife bought a cheap mandolin. I came home and saw her struggling to slice a potato or something on it. I snatched it from her, saying, "Give me that. You'll hurt yourself." and then tried it myself, IMMEDIATELY slicing a nice hunk off my thumb. Fortunately, I maintained the presence of mind to use the comedy timing, holding out my mangled and bloody thumb to her: "See?!"

GotLag posted:They should stop calling it Autopilot But autopilot is kind of exactly what it is. Autopilot doesn't take (currently) take off and land the plane (AFAIK?), or execute complicated maneuvers. It just keeps the plane going at a certain speed, altitude, and heading. Including probably directly into a mountain if you set it wrong and fall asleep. I mean I agree that that's not what the average idiot hears when they think "autopilot", but it's still a technically accurate description of what the feature does.

The thing about humans is we have brains and make tools. If we can't lift something or can't lift it safely we build something to make it safer and easier. Saying you can't lift a big stone by hand without using your back is a dumb argument because yeah, duh, so we use the muscle between our ears and don't try to lift it by hand. Like seriously someone came into the OSHA thread and argued that advice about doing something safely by hand is dumb because it can't be done safely by hand, so we should just ignore the advice?
