Can this one count as OSHA because it's footage from a policeman on the job?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8B8CE18KWXk

Bike cop on-board camera. About 2 minutes in he starts chasing another motorcycle, apparently for speeding. Watch as the most unbelievably dangerous police chase ensues. The fugitive is going triple-digit speeds through dense residential zones, riding against traffic and splitting between cars...and the cop follows right behind him for twenty minutes.

It's :psypop: that the police department allows it and :psyboom: that nobody dies.

Major pants-making GBS threads moments around 4:00, 6:20, 10:30 but the whole thing is insane.

Anytime I watch high-speed motorcycle stuff, my main takeaway is that poo poo is incredibly dangerous. This is like a drat action movie.

I dunno how you gently caress up disposing fireworks just set them off one at a time and have a blast for like a month straight.

Don't know if it belongs here but,

they are trying to find the plane again,

Malaysia's government said Saturday that it has approved a new attempt to find the wreckage of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, nearly four years after the plane's disappearance sparked one of aviation's biggest mysteries.

BIG DATA and algorithms and poo poo can get you far, but you still need a human touch. A substantial amount of Google's creepy search accuracy can be credited to their army of independent contractors who massage individual search queries.

That was like 6 years ago you may as well be talking about how to game the Dewey Decimal System.

They replaced all them people with RankBrain.

I've been spying on a Facebook group of roofing company owners for work, kinda get a lay of the land and take notes on how to market them.

The overwhelming response when someone posted this in the group was along the lines of "whatever it takes to get the job done!"

On a related note, they also spend a lot of time bitching about how they can't find non-felons with clean drug tests for their jobs. I wonder why :thunk:

He further told me that while the health insurance was indeed quite good, the plant was a terrible place to work because they ran two 12-hour shifts which rotated day/night by week. So you'd work 6AM to 6PM one week and 6PM to 6AM the next week, then repeat.

This is the dumbest poo poo

In the US there are requirements for overtime exemption beyond 'is on salary', otherwise almost every lovely min-wage job now would be "min-wage X 40/week" salary, 80 hours a week.
So, yea, if you know someone getting hosed like that, tellem to talk to whoever handles wage-theft in their state.

Oh yeah, just take it up with the labor board that hasn't been fully staffed in 6 years, and when it will be fully staffed it'll be with people picked primarily based on their loyalty to trump.

They'll get back to you in 6-8 years

Took me a moment to realize that that is the 4 year old kid.

Yeah, I may have gone too overboard with the anonymizing, but that's his 4-year-old he's got on a roof that he's working on.

His main defenses in the comments are:

1) gently caress you pussies
2) It's a private job not through my business so OSHA can't touch me therefore it's all OK

There's all kinds of crazy suicide poo poo people do. The Wikipedia article about anti-tank warfare has a section on suicide attacks. China and Korea would both strap bombs to people and have them run up to a tank, lay down between the treads and then blow up when the tank rolled over them which exploited the weak underside armor of the tank. I guess you can't really complain to OSHA if your job involves blowing up.

The Soviets used to train dogs to do this. Just spend a few weeks teaching them to run up and lay under a tank for treats, and then get them out on the battlefield with a bomb strapped to them.

The initial plan was for them to run up and leave the bomb and run away, but that didn't work so they switched to doggy suicide bombers.
