I'm honestly surprised the train was able to slow down even that much in only 260 feet.

When I was a teenager I worked in a factory that made truck and suv frames. Tons of robot welding.

Last station on the line was 4 humans, to fix all the hosed up robot welds. They're like any other tool, maintain them or they gently caress up.

I also worked in an automotive manufacturing plant and if a machine hosed up, it was our fault.

If we let supervisors know there was a problem, they would let the line limp along as if nothing was wrong, churning out lovely parts and it was still our fault if poo poo got out. They would not allow maintenance to purchase the parts needed to permanently fix a machine.

If someone got hurt, it was our fault. If someone got hurt even after we turned in a safety issue to the health and safety officer, it would never get fixed and it was our fault. We had to bring our own foam pipe wrap in to put on sharp edges of metal because if we didn't, no one would.

If we didn't make quota for parts daily, it was our fault. If we made quota, they expected that every day and if we didn't reach it, it was our fault. If we exceeded quota once, then that was the new quota going forward and if we didn't reach it, it was our fault.

I worked every department in that place (PCB manufacturing, ABS injection molding for the housings of the fuse boxes, and LSR molding for the electrical seals, and inspection) and it was always the loving same experience.

Years of this poo poo grinds you down. You'd have to be a hosed up individual to take pride working in a place like this.

I was splitting some wood with a hatchet a while back and it glanced off the wood and continued down (like in this video) with the side of the hatchet head glancing off my ankle bone. It hurt like hell, but it was also so very close to a much more extreme injury that I just stopped right there and went inside to contemplate how lucky I was. And also how bad I was with a hatchet.

I've had these similar moments when I hurt myself or realize I'm doing something carelessly and dangerously where I just have to completely stop what I'm doing and go inside and sit down and think about how loving careless and/or stupid I was being and how fortunate I was things didn't go worse.

My recent one was working under a push mower but I had the bright idea of putting a dumbbell on the handle to prop it up so I didn't have to turn it over on its side. Didn't occur to me at all at the time that this is also depressing the throttle. And I left the spark plug cable attached. The entire time I was changing the blade.

That whale video has reminded me of something. Was it this thread (or a past iteration of it) that had a poster talk about how they went cave diving alone? Everyone else called them an idiot and tried to convince them to stop and the poster just ended up no longer posting one day.

All this gun talk reminds me of a guy who I knew in our 20's who confessed (wasn't proud, told the story as a warning) of the day he earned his gun license (I think he was in high school). He went home and was hanging out with his girlfriend. At some point, he grabbed his "unloaded" gun and pointed it at her as a joke (?), very thankfully didn't pulled the trigger, pulled the pump, and a bullet was ejected. Immediately dropped the gun and spent some time freaking out.

He was a much more mentally confident adult and told this as huge warning. Not sure if he still had guns when we worked together, but he definitely learned his lesson and took it to heart.

So, what happened with the girlfriend
