Off Topic / Re: Why do people dislike safety equipment?

« on: May 03, 2024, 10:32:53 PM »

not too long ago i was doing work at a warehouse installing charging stations for a robot that moves pallets around pallet shelves. these pallet shelves are probably 30 ft tall and span the size of like 4 football fields. the charging station is at the very top and we're required to 100% tie off meaning as long as we're up there our harness needs to be tied off to something at all times. we're supposed to use two harnesses and latch on one, move forward, latch on the next, go back, and latch off the other one. if you constantly have to move around this is extremely time consuming. do i do it? hell no. i would never get any work done. i just walk to the spot i wanna work to then tie off there.
this is the main problem people have with a lot of safety regulations. some of them are so damn time consuming that if you have a project that has a deadline you'll never get it done in time. as far as safety glasses and helmets and ear plugs go, yes you should wear them. that stuff is important.

this should have a rolling tie off point if it's an I-beam. that way you don't need two separate ties

i wear my hearing protection and gloves at all times when some chuckle forgets couldn't care less. idk how my coworkers don't wear ear plugs/muffs when coupling rail cars together. that sound is devastatingly loud.

you know, as an oldcigarette i'll say that when I recently voiced my opinion that greenlighting this game killed it, everyone in the server got pissed.

as if we didn't watch this game sell out what made it what it is, to become some abandoned game on steam all so he could rake in an extra chunk of change from newcomers.

if this game never got the excessive attention it did that made badspot feel like he could just give up on the game, i'm sure we'd still be vibing with cool maps, AND probably shaders. but no, he half assed it, cut the game in half, then left it to die. what a shame.

he probably would've abandon it much sooner if it didn't get on steam right away.

Jesus christ. I remember shooting the stuff with him a lot on his server when he'd test new add-ons. This blows. Rest in Peace Bushido.
