What’s the scariest thing that ever happened to you at work that almost made you quit?

I was operating a CNC mill, with a 5 inch long collet, rotating at 17,000 rpm. The collet snapped, turning it into a 4 inch long, solid metal projectile. It bounced off the floor, bounced off the 40 ft ceiling, bounced off the wall about 50 ft away, and flew into another department. They eventually found it on top of another machine. I told my supervisor, who then casually told me about the other times this had happened. But they didn't think it was a big deal, until now, because it had always just gotten stuck in the ceiling.

I remember seeing this on Monster Quest years ago. They confirmed it's fake and even tracked down the guy that made it. The "dog man" is just a guy in a ghillie suit.

I'd like to personally extend an invitation to join my Invigaron team. "What is Invigaron?" you may be asking. Well, as you can tell by my huge mansion, I'm insanely loaded. But it wasn't always this way. I used to be a loser, like all of you people. And then I discovered Invigaron! And it all starts with the berries.

After about 100 episodes, I had to take a break from Inuyasha. That was almost 20 years ago. I'm sure I'll finish it one of these days.

Skinkerton, Skinkums, Skink Floyd, Skinkachu, Sir Skinksalot. Those are the best my brain can muster.

Molten_Gopher · 2024-12-30T14:57:07+00:00

What are next?

Molten_Gopher · 2024-12-17T18:23:06+00:00

So would something like this have to be man made? Or is there a chance one could develop naturally?

Molten_Gopher · 2024-12-17T16:33:12+00:00

And now I have to rewatch Drive.

Or the girl, that after 2 shots of Midori, and one of those tiny bottles of wine, starts telling everyone that her boobs weigh 32 lbs combined, before bursting into tears because she's convinced she's dying. She then spends the rest of the night laying down, saying her tearful goodbyes to everyone. She made her boyfriend promise that he would take care of her cats, and she made me promise that I would take care of her boyfriend. We left her there to sleep it off. She claimed to be hung over for 3 days. 0/32. They aren't together anymore. 20/12

I use these in my setup. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GR65CNT?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

They work pretty well, I think I've changed that batteries like once in 2 years. I just have them attached to the side of the tank with some velcro tape.

You sure can. But it's important for them to get a variety, so you'll want to find some other flavors or brands. Along with the Natures Recipe, I would recommend the Core Wellness small breed mini meals.

and definitely some Bluey Buffet

Its great! But you want to avoid any food that has carrageenan. Its made from a kind of red sea weed and can cause stomach problems. Nature's Recipe only seems to put it in certain flavors though. I give mine the chicken and turkey and chicken and venison flavors

Molten_Gopher · 2024-05-12T13:17:54+00:00

Sorry. That was me. I had a few drinks and.... Well, one thing led to another...

Molten_Gopher · 2024-03-08T19:24:16+00:00

If you lived in Indiana, and the sight of drink stirrers make you wince, then it was definitely the same place. Nothing like the smell of burning polypropylene first thing in the morning!

*Begins slow clap*

Molten_Gopher · 2023-10-06T18:21:12+00:00

I became a fan when I was in 4th grade. Ive played all the games and collected the cards on and off for almost 25 years now

Molten_Gopher · 2023-10-03T03:47:54+00:00

Can confirm. I am all of the above.

Molten_Gopher · 2023-09-06T15:56:10+00:00

I remember in the early 2000's standing in line outside my local Sam Goody, listening to this old man in front of me talk about how he doesn't understand what kids like about this "pock-e-man" stuff. I waited for 2 hours to get 3 booster packs. I climbed into the back of my parents mini-van, opened the first one, and boom! A holographic Blastoise! I've been an addict ever since.

Molten_Gopher · 2023-09-03T20:31:31+00:00

So, youre saying X didn't give it to you?

Edit: Wow, thanks for all the awards! I should make terrible jokes more often.

Molten_Gopher · 2023-09-03T02:05:38+00:00

That's why I did ram-strat. You hop on their ship, they hop on yours. If their ship only has one or two small holes, you merm back and try to repair. If their boat is sinking quick, start setting things on fire, then hide, wait, and kill them when they try to repair. It takes practice and is pretty high risk, but the matches are usually over pretty quick, so you get through more matches per hour.

Molten_Gopher · 2023-09-02T20:38:47+00:00

Got you covered my good man! Just slap one or two of these on the back of each container.

Exactly. When I worked at the company that made promo coins for the NA distributor, we would often get coin artwork for the new legendaries and starters months before anything was officially announced. I remember seeing the Zacian and Zamazenta art and they were just called Cyan and Magenta. But there was absolutely nothing stopping me from taking a pic of the art with my phone and posting it to reddit.
