I’m going to sign those papers in about 15 minutes. Been weighing heavy on my mind since my mom brought it up. She finally decided to do it after tearing both rotator cuffs and having to have a couple vertebrate fused due to an injury at work after someone put a 50+ pound box on a shelf and asked her to get it without telling her about the weight as a joke. She grabbed it, fell, and then went to the hospital.

Well, you know, there's that little label on it that says don't open, risk of electric shock, etc. Doesn't say anything about screwing a few bolts into the front panel, though.

It's tagged to primary but they presumably want to use secondary some day.

Gonna guess people kept flipping the selector instead of turning it off which probably gives the MCC a heart attack. Why it's set up that way and why they're using a wrench as a tag/lock is probably related in that it's a control box designed and operated by idiots.

Update on Kuznetsov: the fire has reportedly been extinguished.

quote:

Russian daily Kommersant reported on Friday that the fire started when hot metal fell down a shaft and came into contact with a pile of garbage lying on a lower deck, which included a piece of oily cloth.

The fire alarm on the ship had been dismantled during the refit, which was why the fire had a chance to spread, the newspaper said, quoting its sources.

A probe was launched Thursday into possible construction safety violations.

Kommersant said damage from the fire was mostly to cables which were to be replaced in the refit.

Those are car hauler railcars, the hazmat in question is unlikely to be more serious than lead acid batteries, motor oil, or possibly li-ion packs, all in the format of "installed into a complete and functional motor vehicle".

While i agree the titles a bit alarming, being in central/northern alberta we have a lot of rail leaks, tips etc. And the amount of absolute mayhem they cause on everything living remotely near is horrendous. Although I guess Detroit doesn't have to worry about any of that.

Ah yes, pile of oily rags three decks down ignited by welding sparks is a true OSHA-Shipyard Edition classic.

Looking at Murmansk the two drydocks they are supposedly combining to put her in for further repairs are only 700-800' long. The carrier is right at 1000', so look forward to more OSHA stories! It looks like she's had alot of the flight deck replaced, maybe where the crane fell on her?

That last screencap there, when he walked the laser over to his hand and talked about it 'yeah sure, it hurts a little I guess', I was pretty much all set with the video. It's not a bad video! But something about that particular moment threw my 'that's quite enough now' switch.

The internet is pretty great as a whole. But there's all these pictures of really exotic truck fuckling. Truck fuckling at really impressive angles. Truck fuckling with really unobtainably good looking trucks. Even violent truck fuckling. It's really starting to ruin my truck fuckling experiences in real life because of the shifted expectations.

Later in the video, he puts a frequency doubler on the laser and actually hurts his hand with it
