Its mitigated in that you take a high GWP and turn it into a low GWP. But I think he means we should cut back on the farting pigs altogether.

We're kind of turning the page on how much we can do with mitigation and how much we need to literally upend the supply chain for cradle to grave management of pollutants including cutting back on farmed meat.

And to get on one of my favorite soapboxes that in a lottery winning world I'd probably shop around grad schools: there's some reevaluation of recycling supply chains needed to control for emissions over raw material saving. We aren't going to see peak much of anything before the ecosystems as we know them collapse. Like paper products probably deserve to be hermetically sealed in the ground instead of recycled to add price pressures to paper goods while sequestering carbon.

Got one from my work.

I'm in Afghanistan overseeing generator overhaul contractors through some local national safety guys. Just after Christmas one of our contractors needed to move a generator across their shop yard. They did this by renting a lovely undersized crane, planning nothing, documenting nothing, providing no secure footing under the crane, and then physically dragging the generator sideways across the yard with the crane using I think the hoist point on the engine block in the generator housing.




Even dragging the generator sideways they still had enough force on the crane to cause to to twist enough that the outside outriggers were unloading and the outside tires started twisting off the ground.







I sent the contractor and asked them to please never do that again and I got an apology/non-apology that included the following items.

Crane operator not wearing a hard hat while leaning out of the cab with the door open and the boom up:
"The crane operator doesn't need a hard hat because there was no overhead threat since the crane was so badly underrated that it couldn't actually lift the load overhead."

In regards to the report that our safety guys sent.
"Yes the crane was dangerously unstable, but why didn't your safety guys stop us? Isn't that his job? Also, he quoted the wrong safety regulation telling us that cranes must be operated on stable footing. We think you need to train them better."
(I did ask my guy to never do take pictures like this again or at least take them from across the street or anywhere but close to this poo poo)

We have a firm fixed price contract stating that the contractor SHALL comply with all included safety regulations with a crisp contractor signature right at the top and price negotiations took several months.
"if we make our Afghan subcontractors conform to the these safety requirements it will raise the cost of the contract!"

I always wanted to be a Wizard

It's funny how over time of seeing wildly unsafe things how even though this would absolutely 100% not be up to OSHA spec I'm like honestly it looks fine. Those barrels are strong, it's securely attached, he's not standing on the thing he's demolishing (!), the mounting has good control over height and orientation (he's not flapping around at the end of a cable, for example). There's even an extra hoop up higher on his chest, so his center of gravity should be below the railing. Honestly this looks more "handmade but actually pretty safe" more than the thread-standard "how did the person even live long enough to get a picture taken".
