"Moose" is a word derived from the Eastern Abenaki languages (moos/mos).

In fact, this is why the plural of moose is not meese.

Settlement amount and bolding are mine.

Yeah, like it's a shame this guys son died, but also gently caress him because it means other people who lose a loved one like this are limited to the 250k cap he voted for to encourage dangerous and stupid risk taking businesses to set up in Kansas. Piece of poo poo, really.

Its National Construction Safety Week this week.  Any other safety goons doing anything special?  None of my projects are big enough to warrant any cool vendor demos so I'm just giving talks at them as I make my visits.

I sat in on a webinar today featuring a roofer who survived falling 30' on to concrete. Apologies for the photo of a monitor but these were his injuries. Oof.



Moral of the story: fall prevention/protection is important.

I'm pretty sure I got this as a magic trick kit as a kid. I think it came as a small tube of brownish oily liquid you rubbed between your fingers?

18 year old kid hired by a company to help demo the roof off his high school. They just told him to get up there and start tearing poo poo off. He was trying to pull up a nailed down piece of wood when it broke loose, he stumbled backwards and fell off the edge. Landed face first. Per the other workers, EMTs had a body bag ready when they rolled up.

If power was off for an extended period of time, they did you a favor by emptying the fridge. Unless a kitchen full of maggots and flies blotting every window was a goal. And once food spoils like that, good luck ever getting the smell out of the fridge.

My cousin and I once where exploring a house next door to my parents that had been abandoned for 2 years. The place was already in rough shape before abandonment, and it appeared the owner just up and left one day and never came back. Many things where left behind, and the kitchen appeared mostly still stocked up, though everything was rotted. My cousin decided to see what was in the freezer side of the double door fridge. Even though it had been 2 years... the smell was... unlike anything I have ever experienced before. She almost immediately took off out of the kitchen gagging. It took about another second for it to hit me. I started gagging and ran trying to escape, only to trip over the threshold of the kitchen door and face plant into the hallway carpet. I was again engulfed in the stench. I threw-up before I was able to stand up and continue my escape from the cloud of doom. I was running and vomiting all the way to the door.

For the next several weeks, you couldn't get within 100ft of the place without smelling "it". Depending on the wind, you would get faint whiffs of it on my parents' front porch.

Despite my morbid curiosity, I never dared venture back into the place to see what the inside of the fridge looked like. I would have expected after 2 years everything would have dried up. Obviously not! It was tore down a couple months later.

Bonus OSHA: The seat is empty, which means that someone got out and walked under that thing. And they'll have to do it again to get back in and lower it down.

For my own content, a cautionary tale:



Don't go off roading in your service truck. Especially when the nearest town is a 3 hour walk. And that "town" is actually just 15 people living in the middle of nowhere, and there are no recovery services whatsoever so you get stuck there for two days.


Happy ending eventually, although I did just about put it on its side getting it out.

Is this a child laborer doing demolition or some jerk breaking something because he can?


So, does he not know loading docks tend to be below grade or is he hoping some teenager on a forklift is going to tailgate his load through chest deep water?

Maybe the dock is dry once you pass through a loading lock.

Yeah, I feel like there's definitely a credible case for a landlord going in after some sort of natural disaster and emptying out fridges, especially if the landlord owns the refrigerator as is the case in every rental I've ever seen. A fridge full of rotting food is just... indescribably bad.

It's also an issue where your fridge doesn't just affect you. If one dude on your floor ends up with a horrible box of rotten death, everybody has to smell it.
