Oh there's more like it, too, lol. Like the time a tank WASNT actually empty and I popped the valve off (I had done everything to bleed it off, the bleeder was stuck full of bug gunk I'd later find out). I was deaf for 5 minutes, the valve landed 1 building over, luckily didn't hit anyone/anything.

Then there's the time the cigarette guy climbed up the back of a fuel truck and popped the tank and looked in. He had a cig in his mouth, lit, and thought it was a diesel truck. It was a gas one. Had it been more empty (this fumes) he'd likely have blown his stupid ass up. Instead, he jumped off and twisted his ankle. I unironically hate that man with a passion for many, many reasons.

Or the time my co-worker was doing knife work and just stabbed himself in the gut. That one's a classic: overconfidence in cutting TOWARDS one's self.

Ooh, ooh, a good one: trimming trees with a chainsaw while on a pallet on a forklift 20ft in the air, held on by a rope tied around your WAIST. That was also the safety manager lol

I've said it elsewhere on Lemmy:

I work in propane. I once was proud that I sold the most ez-go (stupid and basically useless accessory) in one month. my name starts with Ha-

I live in CA and prefer charcoal but otherwise I have become the professional persona of Hank Hill. My boss and I tried to get them to put "Hill" on one of my work shirts when I was still in the yard as a joke but Cintas said no

I work in propane and have since late 2015. Used to work in the yard refilling, re-valving, painting, etc. these cylinders and tanks.

One of those things I did was empty (purge) the tanks before I pulled the valves out. Normally you do this by hooking them to a burn tower that pulls the fuel out and burns it away like 15 feet above everyone's head. My company didn't have permission from the city for they do we set up a tower anyway and just let the fuel pour out of it. You can imagine how... Fucking stupid that was?

Many times (I literally cannot count) people walked out with lit cigarettes and I was ready to die.

There's also the time my safety manager lit his flip flop on fire and kicked it over the propane dispenser WHILE IT WAS ON FIRE

Also: never swap your propane tanks at one of these cage services. Many of them will aim to give you a close to, or fully out of date tank so you cannot get them filled at a normal fill spot. They're also insanely expensive. If the swap out is $25 for a 5-gallon tank then you'd need to be spending $5/gallon at the dispenser for it to be even close in price, and if your propane dispenser is selling it to you for that or more then you're being fucked

I work in propane and some body actually did this ~3 weeks ago with one of our cages

It'll not explode, but it'll burn the cage down along with anything the cage is near should a spark catch, they'll go up in flames FAST

Skip calling the cops, if it's hot break the window THEN call the cops, same for pets. In many places this is now the fully legal thing to do. If you wait even a little bit that can be the difference, you never know how close to death they are even if moving

You can buy keychain tools for breaking windows easily, the trick is something hard and POINTY, really concentrated the force applied

Exhausted humans incredibly likely to forget things

Is closer to the actual facts being discussed in the article, which is a very basic and simple thing to understand and fits the headline well

Not likely, R* haven't released a bad (original) game in a long ass time.

Will it be abandoned as a Single-Player experience for the inline aspect? Probably

Wow, what awful reading comprehension you have.

Did I not literally say they weren't perfect?

Did I claim their society was perfect and the result of dictators?

Or did I refute the idea that history exclusively shows dictators abusing their power?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Roman dictators did exactly that, though

Not saying their system was perfect by any means but people out here acting like there's 0 historic examples are just wrong

Did I say he was perfect?

I simply provided a name when the bad faither's pretended like that was the essential part of the argument at hand
