Ironically (or not I guess), leaving out the one time he for real accidentally almost killed himself.

He's been pretty transparent that this one incident was a legitimate accident and could've been significantly worse.

I want to know what special kind of magic he uses to be okay with getting shocked all the time. I may just be a wuss but I'm pretty sure my lizard brain would not let me poke myself in the face with a homemade taser.

I wouldn't be surprised if he's lying about the current in a lot of the goofs where he shocks himself, and playing it up for comedic value.

I have fond memories of playing with a van der graaf generator in high school for hours. You can get some pretty nasty looking sparks out of that thing but it doesn't really hurt all that much.

I went to post the Wikipedia article but they have a big ole picture of a dick, that I unknowingly opened, on my work computer, in an open office, so it was nice knowing you thread.

Here's a, somehow, more work safe urbandictionary link before I get fired.

The most bizarre thing to me when I moved to the burbs is that all the EMTS and firefighters here are volunteers.

I don't know why you would volunteer to work the worst job in the world, for free, but apparently there's a poo poo ton of suckers willing to do it.

When I started university I was in halls and one of the guys on my floor was from way up north in Scotland. Now obviously the fire alarms went off fairly regularly with 200 complete morons with access to toasters. This guy always felt really sorry for the firemen that turned up every time because 'they've got to get up and got to work in the morning', it hadn't occurred to him that the city would have actual professional, full time firemen. He'd only ever met volunteers.

Where I live now has a volunteer fire service, I'm thinking about joining.

I have this discussion with my wife pretty often since she grew up out here and I grew up in the city, so what's absurd to me is completely normal for her.

Instead of dialing 911 and having 3 fire engines show up within 5 minutes, you call 911, have to wait for the county's singular fire marshall on staff to show up, decide that it's legitimate, then call in the volunteers.

My one takeaway is to never have an emergency, because I'm probably just going to die before help arrives.

Where are you that 911 doesn't immediately dispatch at least one truck upon a call? Even for full volunteer service that is usually pretty standard.

Maybe they do, I wouldn't put it past me to not fully understand.

I'm dead as gently caress either way.

Old post but I'm catching up with the thread:

I celebrated my new years day by having to deal with a fiber cable that got hit doing the same thing somewhere in the deep south. At least I got paid OT for it. People are the loving worst.

Is the filmer waving the person into the train?

Looks like it. And I wouldn't be surprised if they only went because they panicked and saw the person behind them motioning to move.

So I'm not sure where this should actually go, but how are companies proving they're essential so that employees that have to commute through curfew areas have something to show the police if they get pulled over for violating curfew?

Or is it just "Print off the email where the company claims this and hand it to the cop if you get pulled over"?

My company gave everyone a copy of a letter with the Dpt. of Homeland Security letterhead on top defining my company as essential. I was told that + my work ID would be enough. It's from the CISA and is all officially and important, except scanned a thousand times over until it's all sad and pathetic looking.

e: my boss called it my work permission slip :(
