Progress, then? My '02 CRV doesn't make a noise if you leave it with the lights on so I've been bitten a few times when I started driving early in the morning and finished when it was bright out.

Well you know how Dr Bruce Banner can grow extremely large and strong? Pretty much exactly the same as that except on a really really tiny localized scale inside his organs.

15 minutes away from leaving work today as i was reaching over some drill bits in a rack i put a 3 inch gash into my forearm. Cleanest slice ever i just grazed the bit and it felt like a fingernail scratch. I've had more painful paper cuts but its quite ghastly in appearance and i saw it cut through a few different layers of meat before blood started flowing.

The other guy said to take a picture so i took 3. 1 for the thread. Here's a worker's almost bandaged forearm in a factory backed with 1, possibly 2, grey floors accented with crud. The shine is antibiotic ointment Crisco because im a fatass goon and can't put down the shortening even in a filthy warehouse.

it's gory but didn't hurt much cause those drills are really loving sharp. Do Not Click if seeing blood makes you faint unless you need sleep.

An inch to the right and it would have hit some serious poo poo. An inch to the left and it would have missed my white rear end.

Second picture is a bandaged hand; first picture is a mangled hand.

Conversely, there are plenty of shops that will pass your vehicle that has many things wrong with it for less than a few hundred bucks.

CO2 inhalation feels scary as hell. I've had it happen a few times. I've had to open up fermenters to add either fertilizer or antibiotics to them. The only reaction I've ever had to CO2 is dizziness and terror. I'd hate to die that way since it was a panic attack.

Maybe so you don't gas the people if something is broken that causes the room to get flooded? Someone likely died getting that rule written, just got to look for it.

I think it's ozone plasma being generated by arcing. Ozone is created when the air reaches breakdown voltage and an arc passes through, and ozone plasma glows purple.

I'm pretty sure that's our travel expense system. I just got an expense report rejected because I included a line item for a $22 tip for hotel housekeeping (11 nights stay). No, I need to redo it so that it is 11 separate line items for $2 each.

Edit: Ooh, Monday bonus. Left work last Wednesday, our big expensive mobile telemetry trailer is sitting right where in should, in the parking lot/accessway between two buildings.

Today, the big expensive mobile telemetry trailer was sitting a big hole filled with the remains of the fire main. It has now been moved to a less subsidable location.

Pneumonia kills 50,000+ people a year in the US and is the 8th leading cause of death.

Also, that image is from the late 1930s, and pneumonia was probably killing a shitton more people back then.

As a person who learned to drive in northern MN:
1. Take the deer, not the ditch. Comp covers hitting a deer, it does not cover the ditch.
2. If a deer jumps out in front of you, steer into it. That way you pass behind. If you steer away, you'll hit it. If it changes direction, you and it were screwed anyway.
3. There's no such thing as one deer. If you see one, look behind it for the other. Come to a complete stop if you have to.
4. Save the deer and eat it if you can. If you break it's neck clean and don't smush it, there's good meat there. If anything, you can save the hide. Once the cop or game warden calls it good, enjoy your venison. They don't mind.
5. Do not hit the deer dead on. If it comes through your window, it will not die and will be quite upset. An angry deer sitting on your lap will likely kill you.
6. The deer *will* jump in front of you. It's a given. They always do. I once had a buck break it's neck by ramming the car while we were passing it slowly. They are silly creatures.
