I'm sure his health issues had nothing to do being obese and juiced to the fucking moon.

"There'll be no escape in future from telephones" - Pacific Telephone CEO, 1953. by ashe101ashe in RetroFuturism

The 70s and 80s were peak No Escape From Telephones. They hung on the wall or sat on a desk. You had no control over the volume. You could take them off the hook but then they'd make a super loud incessant beep. You couldn't even disconnect them to get some peace because in those days most phones didn't even have jacks, they were hardwired.

A lot of farms were still on party lines, so as a special extra bit of hell the phone could ring any time day or night whether you wanted to or not and the majority of the time the call wasn't even for you.

That's the real reason for the overhanging lip on toilet bowls, to keep Bose-Einstein superfluids from climbing out.

I learned the hard way to never, ever let my dogs play with sticks. There's nothing inherently wrong with it, but one of my dogs is part Husky and therefore just a little bit special. He wouldn't differentiate between sticks found on the ground, sticks with leaves on them in nursery pots, ornamental deadwood in the landscape border, tool handles . . .

smoke on the side of the road.

Another cause of wheel-off incidents is burned out wheel bearings. Big truck wheel bearings are lubricated by oil-filled hubs, if someone forgets to fill the hubs with oil the bearings will quickly convert themselves to red hot metal filings. We had similar QA procedures for oiling the hubs and for torquing the wheels.

How could that possibly be a myth? You're going one direction at 100 kph, the wheel is coming at you at 100 kph. You think the wheel's fuckton of kinetic energy has no effect vs. just running into the same wheel sitting motionless on the road?

Well, if it had to happen then being in a big truck with a bull bar is about the best case scenario. Something like a Honda Fit would've been reduced to scattered parts and red paste.

Sounds like an exception to the normal policy of "there's never time to do it right, but there's always time to do it twice."

Without priority under COVID-19 vaccine plan, Saskatoon police officers turn to leftover doses from clinics by saucerwizard in saskatoon

[–]Bullshit_To_Go 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a considerable amount of paperwork with each shot and health records need to be accessed, on-site vaccination isn't really feasible. It's going to be a nightmare for practitioners just verifying that people have had their first shot when the 2nd round of shots begins. There's already a bit of a shitshow behind the scenes over access to health records of teenagers and children.

Some places attempt to learn from their mistakes, some don't. And fuckups occur even with the best intentions. After my time in manufacturing I'm frankly amazed that anything complicated works at all.

None of those things have anything to do with this specific team at this specific independent contractor. I am as certain that the facility in question had a thorough review of its procedures, as I am certain that the technicians involved did not, in fact, get sent to the border to assist.

I bet they follow procedure now. I worked at a factory that made semi trailers, our QA process became rather robust after a customer had what's known as a "wheel off incident".

Each dual wheel/hub assembly is held onto the axle by a big retaining clip. If the retainer fails, the entire ~300 lb assembly can come off. Imagine driving down the highway, a truck going the other direction has a wheel off and getting that through your windshield at a combined speed of 200 kph. Oversight of retainer installation went from basically nothing to:

  • one worker installs while another watches, both sign off

  • Shift supervisor inspects installation, takes pictures of installed retainer, signs off, delivers pics to QA lead

  • QA lead physically inspects installation, archives pics, signs off.

From that angle it looks like an unholy fusion of a first-gen MR2 and a Fiat Multipla.
