The “Praise Allah” one was absolutely real and many news orgs have written about it at this point. It’s pretty depressing…

1·29 days agoMy friends tell me that I should write stories about the stuff I find but I’m really bad at that, it would be fun though.
Just wait until someone tosses a set of baby shoes, then you’re off to a great start!

15·2 months agoSure, I’m not saying it’s necessarily a good thing that we’re still using it, but recognizing and treating it as a serious carcinogen rather than something benign goes a long way to improving the amount of harm it causes

Nick Shirley, the “Minnesota Somalian daycare fraud” guy. If you watch him talk, or do much of anything, it is pretty clear he’s not particularly sharp.

6·2 months agoHonestly it makes sense. Most incidents are due to complacency with rules/procedures. A new guy joins and follows every rule to the letter, but more experienced people think "Well, I’ve gone all this time without an incident and bent the rules a little here and there, and it’s not been a problem.
You see it happen all the time working around heavy machinery. The new guy gets trained on the Limb Mangler and is absolutely terrified of it, so he follows every rule to the letter. The experienced guy has worked with the Limb Mangler for 10 years and knows that the correct process for un-jamming the de-gloving reels takes like 45 minutes and is a PITA, he also knows that you can quickly wiggle the jam loose with a pair of pliers and get it up and running without a stoppage at all. Everything is fine, until it isn’t, and suddenly you’ve got skeleton hands because you didn’t feel like taking time to properly de-energize and LOTO tag the system.
Also the title is literally called “The Staff”

Having also been in Colorado and being big into mining at the time, I can tell you that you would have sold when it hit the ATH of $1000, or definitely when MtGox happened and it halved almost overnight. I worked at Microcenter at the time and remember all the people returning GPUs after that crash. Everyone likes to think they would have held this whole time, but you’d have been a fucking greedy idiot if you had seen something so volatile, made 1000x returns and still said “Nah, I’m gonna hold”

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Would you drive differently as left-handed if wheel was on other side?English
1·2 months agoYup. Had no issue following the direction driving in the city in Japan, but going out to the mountains there were a couple times where I turned onto an unmarked road and went the wrong way for a bit. Hopefully I didn’t spook anyone too badly.
