    I know this is mostly a shit post, but if you’re ever working on anything that has the slightest ability to maim, electrocute, etc use lock out tag out procedures. Industrial accidents are real, and can take someone from this world in a heartbeat. Stay safe nerds!

        It literally takes 5 seconds to grab a hobo outside and put a work shirt on them. Do you understand how long it takes to make custom molded plastic boxes? I swear people don’t want me to get my second super yacht or something, greedy fucks

      I heard some horror stories when I was a TV engineer, usually from people not doing lock out tag out or disabling safety features to do the job faster.

      It was kind of surprising to me to see that it was literally a lock like you’d put on a storage shed or something. I thought it would be something fancier.

        It doesn’t need to be secure, they fire anyone who removes someone else’s lock.
