Fun fact, John Brown had chronic back pain from carrying around the weight of his massive balls.
Actual fact: Americans don't learn about John Brown because John Brown's existence highlights a lot of ugly truths about American history, the American people at the time, and how corrupted the core of the American experiment really is.
I work around forklifts.
No.
By virtue of there being a lot more of them cars are killing more people, but forklifts are far more dangerous, relatively.
There are about 35000 forklift injuries every year in the US, 90 or so are fatal. Of roughly 800,000 forklifts in operation that gives you roughly a 4% chance for serious injury from any given forklift per year. This does not include non injury accidents which, conservatively, happen at least 10 times as frequently. That would be things like dropping a load or damaging a safety barricade.
Motor vehicle crashes, and this includes everything from minor fender benders to fatalities, are around 6 million a year. Out of 285 million cars on the road that's about a 2% chance per vehicle.
Forklifts aren't capable of anything quickly. Less so under load. Loads are frequently unsecured or poorly secured. Unlike a car, they're not only interacting with the road, they're interacting with shelving, pallets of shit, conveyors, and the people around them, and the people driving them are just as likely to be drunk or stoned as anyone on the road is.
Of the 6 forklift incidents I've seen in the last 5 years, 2 involved a driver who was able to pass a drug test after.
1 was an injury, that individual lost her leg below the knee. The rest were all loads being flung in new and exciting ways, in one case throwing the operator forward out of the lift. (Standing lift). In all other cases that no one was injured was purely luck that no one happened to be nearby when it happened. Our facility is on the good end of the bell curve for forklift incidents. They're much more common in other facilities.
That sounds like a guy who would sabotage a condom.
That sounds like a guy who insists on driving.
That sounds like a guy who will get problematically jealous.
Cancel the date, if he reacts like an adult you can always reschedule. I suspect he won't.
The online safety act isn't actually about protecting children. That's a smoke screen for a surveillance bill. They want to eliminate anonymity online.
My sister is highly educated, and started her career doing medical research and got in to crime scene investigation. She ultimately left when she discovered the job she wanted working for the FBI was not nearly scientifically rigorous enough and didn't really hold water scientifically.
She now sees a psychic, is entirely convinced it's real, and eats up and parrots every single Republican talking point. Biden too old and dimented, Trump is literally the greatest man alive with decades to live. She even accused our mother of cognitive decline when she didn't buy the bullshit my sister was spewing. My mother is sharp as a tack and there's no family history of dementia.
On top of this, my sister's idiot husband ~~is~~ was an executive in charge of international sales and literally lost his job because of the orange man. Still, God's gift to the US in their eyes.
We don't talk anymore but I'm curious how they feel now, they also suckled on Musk's taint.
Their ideology started with money. They only cared about taxes. Now they agree with anything anyone says as long as they start with lowering their, already generously low, tax rate.
Because it's 4chan. And there are no women on the Internet on 4chan
"oops! All pedophiles!"
Obviously he was actually a woman, or he wouldn't have died.
Evidently plutonium just tastes metallic. And radium is flavorless.
What I'm saying is people have tasted these things.
There was a time when all memes were demotivational posters.
Couldn't have been. I was with the fire all night, we were miles away
