    What kind of child we talking about here? Some upper crust pansy? Or a salt of the earth kid that's swept chimneys since they were two, beat pneumonia twice, and adds some opium to their morning gin as a pick me up?

    Speaking of taco bell they now sell a tortilla wrap that just has their nacho cheese in it.

    They had teenagers try them on a recent JOLLY video and it was a universal pan.

    Which

    Yeah. Untoasted tortilla. Lukewarm processed cheese.

    This was something like two decades ago, but the last time I went to Taco Bell they were using a frosting bag gun to add the beef to tacos.

    I did not have the highest standards as a 19 year old. But I at least had some.

    The last two centuries have been an escalating series of near-misses for the entire species

    Remember when like for five years in the 1920s we decided putting huge amounts of radium in everything was great because of how it made you literally and not metaphorically glow and tingle?

    That was cancer!

    Language class ends next week. Then I never take it again.

    Promotion initiation ends too, which will end my reluctant involvement for the last time. (Shit goes for six weeks.)

    I am accruing last times. I need more, faster.

    I think I'm gonna go for a grenade build. Looks like they're revamped to just operate on a cooldown now, and you just equip whatever kind of grenade you like the most, instead of needing to carry around 85 grenades.

    So yeah, just start every fight with 5 grenades, even if its bad (it'll probably be bad) it'll still be hilarious.

    I'm at a tubing mill in India. I just did a facility tour and their solution annealing area is literally just brickwork tubs roughly 3 feet wide and tall and 60 feet long filled with heated acids. Guess if your building barely has sides you don't really need any fume control...

    I do like how every employee is wearing a hard hat despite their not actually being any substantial overhead danger. But they are all in tennis shoes or flip flops and not a single one is wearing safety glasses or gloves.

    Industry in the developing world is wild. That said my workboots cost about $200. The lowest level guys here make $7/day.




    Malaysia from what I remember was a lot better, but saw all the same shit when I was in Indonesia.

    spoiler for gross
    A guy got a tiny metal sliver in his eye. It was still partially sticking out of his cornea. And they were trying to remove it by pinching it with the edges of two dollar bills.


    We also had a machine that flattens and chops like 1" diameter steel tubing into like 7" long pieces for easier scrapping. The number of times guys would stick their hand down inside the feed ramp cause it jammed(because they were feeding them in like 5 at a time not 1 as instructed) was insane. We had warning signs(in Bhasa), we held safety briefings, its should be readily apparent that that is a BAD IDEA. Still yelled at a the same guys doing it every couple nights.

    They built a scaffolding platform 30' up over concrete and steel plate with a 3'x3' hole in the middle of it because they built it from both sides got to the middle and could fit any pieces there.

    They used bailing wire to hold the power cable coupling two 480v generators to said scaffolding out of the way. The wire eventually saws/heats through the cable sending idk 500 amps into said scaffolding and down onto the steel plates 50 people are standing on.

    Yeah working in any sort of industry site in the 3rd world job #1 is keeping your head on a swivel and keeping their unsafe from infecting you.

    I thought I could go a day without my acid reflux medicine.

    I thought I could.

    No. No I cannot.

    Had the mildest of mild korma curry tonight, it can't from a jar!

    And I'm in acid agony.

    Dear body, why do you hate me.

    When I was doing epoxying or internal fibreglassing at the boat yard I had to get completely kitted up, like hazmat suit grade stuff. One of the older guys said when he worked at Hallberg-Rassy in the 90s they just wore shorts and deck shoes.

    He could only do woodworking now because years of epoxy exposure meant he'd swell up like a balloon if he touched it.

    I've been reading about 2k epoxy paints lately, out of a vague sense that it would be nice to correct the dodgy fairing repair on my motorbike

    You can actually buy the stuff in an aerosol with a separate compartment for the hardener, you twist a thing at the bottom, it mixes, and you spray as if using acrylics

    The number of people online who are like "just stick an N95 on, it'll be fine" in reference to a material that specifies breathing apparatus in its handling instructions is startling

    When I was a kid and helped out around the house, in the garage, we would always wash our hands with white spirit or acetone if we had gotten grease or oil on them. I wonder if that’s inspired why my hands are extremely dry year round now.

    As a kid I hung out with a kid I would describe as "greasemonkey in the making", and at their house they had some special handsoap just for that. It was really gritty, as if it had sand in it.

    It probably did. Or, more likely, perlite or calcined clay or something. It's for the scrubbing effect.

    I had a go at sheepshearing once, and after a couple of hours of it my hands were smelly but lovely and soft due to the oils (or whatever it is, lanolin?) in the wool. The guys and gals who do whole seasons must have baby-soft hands.
