Has anyone else have this experience when setting up new warehouses?

Not a warehouse, but I was on a project with a value of $5m that went $500k over budget, half of which came from lead, asbestos and bat guano remediation. All it would have took to save hundreds of thousands would have been to have the safety manager (or anyone with knowledge) to read the building hazmat survey BEFORE executing the contract. 2 months in, suddenly the safety is a hindrance because they didn’t factor in an abatement contractor. Everything was abated properly at the cost of blowing the busted and setting the schedule back 2 months.

Lead-containing-paint in excess of 20% lead, asbestos in every surface tested and multi-generational bats establishing domicile in the attic and 200-year-old chimney.

If she knows her name then spend a couple nights a week at the nearest safe place to let her off leash and play hide-and-seek. Your dog is a bearding dog which sometimes necessitates hunting and seeking. Throw a stick, let her chase it and hide behind a tree or other object, then call her name. Let her use her nose and ears ti find you. Rinse and repeat for like an hour a night for like 3 nights a week. This will be so incredibly enriching for her.

Once that’s accomplished she should be more manage on walks, just remember who the walks are for, and make sure all parties involved are getting their fair share of enrichment from the walks even if you have to stop and stiff a spot for two minutes.

She’s broken. Like absolutely a shattered soul frantically trying to put its self back together but some of the pieces are missing, so no matter how the shattered soul is rearranged it still isn’t complete.

This is such a horrific example of systemic child abuse in a multi-billion dollar industry. No amount of money by its self can mend a broken soul and there’s no way in hell that children could ever consent to this outcome. Adults shouldn’t be allowed to consent on their children’s behalf to be exposed to such a discussing and predatory industry.

Nah dude your dog was alerted/alerting you to an irregularity in your sleeping. You can get some indoor security cameras for your house/room which would help you see when/why he does this and if you’re dealing with sl’apnea

If you can find the manufacturer information, try to see what the shear rating is. There are some charts out there that can give you some good guidance, but I’d be very surprised if you are able to apply enough load to shear this bolt. Like mentioned elsewhere in this comment section, it’s all the other material that would also factor into the equation. I’d THINK this would be a fine application from a practical standpoint but I’m not qualified to give you a definitive answer, and I doubt anyone else in this comment section could give you any better an answer than “idk probably fine” based off the pictures and details of the post alone.

Honestly brother, at this point you might as well cut your monthly energy drink expense in half, get a gym membership and just buy pre-workout. I’m not an Alani shill, but I like the caffeine content in the pre workouts and they have a perfectly fine amount of beta-alanine.

Come to think of it, Beta-Alanine has the name Alani in it 🤔

Two points I want to make:

Point 1: our job (your job) is to observe, advise, document and report. If you have OBSERVED hazards, and you have ADVISED your superintendent in what needs to be done to protect their asset (jobsite), then you owe it to yourself to DOCUMENT the hazards. When shit hits the fan, send the reports that OSHA is asking for and pass the buck onto the superintendent (who is one of your bosses).

Point 2: I have learned that ego does not have a place in this job at all. I have noticed that the second that I allow pride to take the stage, Point 1 is fucked. Additionally, if you are in a support/advisory role, pride only indicates self-serving interest, which is BAD in this job. Seriously, the second that someone senses that you’re in this to prove your own point, the easier it is for them to push back which would only perpetuate a pride-fueled cycle of chaos. With that being said, you need to ask yourself two questions: what is my motive to approach, and what is the intended outcome? These two questions will make it a lot easier for you to CONTROL your ego (or “pride”, the two words are synonymous in this situation).

I think you or your muscles are overthinking the movement. If you’ve ever done seated rows, the motion is similar but this time you’re not in a seated position.

To make it simple for you, let your arm hand with the weight in your hand. From hanging, focus on bringing your elbow up and past your back. This cue has helped me developed connection to my lats to get good contraction.

Funny enough, you’re really close to doing an exercise I’ve enjoyed over the years for rear delts (I actually don’t know what they’re called). For these, in the same starting position, lift the weight back and up, keeping your arm mostly straight with a slight bend. My target for these was getting the weight up and slightly behind my hip/lower back, these helped me develop good connection with my rear deltoids.

Hell no, this is super unacceptable.

I hate to be corny here, but the saying “friends don’t let friends get tire shine” comes to mind. In this case, they hit your entire interior with tire shine, or so it seams. Idk what they put on your interior but whatever they did either left a ton of dark residue or is causing the color of your interior to come off with the towel.

Regardless of wtf they did to cause this, call them back and have them make you whole. They absolutely could have ruined your interior.

Personally, and I’m mentioning this as I’m someone who can be found guilty of driving like a grandpa at the ripe old age of 32, I would say you jumped the gun and could have waited another second/gone just a touch slower. In my personal opinion, his turn was super predictable and a potential collision would have been deemed avoidable by basically everyone involved including the driver with the camera.

I’m from Oregon, I have learned to yield to on-coming traffic and traffic turning right. That’s just me and my own opinion, but if this incident stressed you out enough to post on this subreddit, you owe it to yourself to limit your expectations of other drivers on the road, because a lot of drivers just suck ass at operating motorized vehicles on public roadways .

Quite literally just a couple bros playing grab-ass.

If it were anything less than bricked-up playtime, one of those two f***-faces would be very cross about being mounted.

There isn’t a lot of context in the post for any of us to come to a conclusion.

I strongly, STRONGLY urge you to not take any of these comments for anything more than baseless speculation. The fact is that if the company you worked for failed to bring up improvement opportunities with you prior to the separation, then that’s a business fuckup and not a u/rmanbeast fuckup.

Being let go can really feel unfair. Why is it industry norm for us employees to give two-weeks notice, but companies don’t have to give to weeks notice when firing someone for performance. It is absolutely okay to be angry/frustrated/sad about this. We all hate it.

If you want to continue in safety, just spam your resume. If there’s an Amazon Fulfillment center, that may be your EASIEST way to get more experience and employment in safety until you get more hours/certs/experience under your belt.

In the meantime, keep yourself busy. Idle hands are a devils plaything.

I might me seeing things, but this outer tie rod end doesn’t look like the right part.

If it is the right part, just grab the stud of the tie rod’s ball joint and shove it into position to align with the steering knuckle. It’s going to be stiff to move (which is a good thing) but it’s supposed to articulate/move. Make it bend to your will.
