The Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority has been doing a bang-up job in Somerville recently on their years-late and billions-short Green Line Extension project. Two bridges in the area have been closed to all traffic for nearly two years longer than originally promised, and the most recent bridge to reopen, over Washington Street, just had its underpass become an enormous swimming pool after some seriously heavy rainfall. The whole project's been plagued with drainage problems and that's why those other two bridges are still closed, but this is the first time there's been an operational failure open to the public. And, of course, the public's going to try to ford the drat thing and fail.

Worked at a call center where one day the meth head two rows over stood up mid-shift, took his shirt off, ran a few screaming laps around the cubicles until they chased him outside, and was back at work the next day like nothing had happened.

That's the good ol' Bagel Buzzsaw from Finagle A Bagel, and I'm very sorry the chain no longer really exists in Boston.

Phanatic posted:There's nothing classified about making napalm and there's no legal issue with posting how to make napalm. I thought the point was more that the AI had been trained to say "sorry, I won't give out dangerous information" and people are coming up with ways to circumvent that, which turns out to not be so hard at all

This is some absolute bazonkers stunt work though the second raider to jump off the bow didn't roll and it sure looks like they felt it but carried on with the raiding anyway

Railing Kill posted:My dad is a retired paramedic/fire chief. He has a well-honed gallows humor from three decades of work in the field, but there's some things he never joked or even talked about. My sister and I could always tell when he caught a child fatal by how uncharacteristically quiet and humorless he would be for a couple of days. Hey, same. My father was a firefighter and EMT in a small town with a large highway cutting through it. He told me once about the room at the station they' used to debrief and to process, where they'd brew strong coffee and make all kinds of jokes about the poo poo they just had to deal with. They were as horrible and as tasteless as they had to be in order for them to get it out and off their chest so they could get back to their families. When I asked him for an example he told me "Nothing said in that room ever gets repeated outside. That is the rule" and I knew never to ask again. Emergency workers need that outlet, whether they share it or keep it internal.

Aishlinn posted:there is something almost therapeutic about watching sandblasting (or even better, the anti-rust laser) doing its thing. its so satisfying. one of the youtube channels i really like, "Odd Tinkering", does restorations, and one of the toys in his shop is a loving laser that blasts rust off things. its a joy to watch it go. PowerWash Simulator is a game that can scratch that very very particular itch
