My friends coke dealing neighbor had $1500 worth of coke sitting out on his table that he was cutting and i sat down next to him to talk and i ended sneezing and it went everywhere

Broke my 50$ glasses lol

Getting addicted to opioids, I take them for back pain so I'm not a junkie, it'd probably be cheaper if I was. Junkies don't need to pay >150$ a month just to see a specialist for them to even write my prescription, and pay inflated pharmaceutical prices on top of that. Heroin would almost certainly be cheaper but I'd never do street drugs because of all the adulterants and extremely variable quality. Fuck chronic pain

Well that is just impressive. I would think there are all sorts of fail safes to keep that weapon from firing unless authorized. Pretty sure big brother can even remotely disable weapon systems .

I bought a house last week. We were looking for three car garage and this one only has two. We were so distracted by the rest of the house that we didn't even notice. And I'm like... Legally obligated to go through with closing on this house.

I exchanged my MSI gaming laptop for the then current Macbook Pro with Radeon Graphics.

Also, why on earth was a technician allowed to work around live ammunition?

With the apostrophes around 'accidentally' it may be dubious that it even was an accident. It was either intentional or that technician is the biggest moron in the military (that's a feat). Either way he shouldn't be around expensive military grade weaponry/equipment ever again

it's just a facebook meme, no need to take it seriously

It happened airforcetimes.com/news/your-air-force/2018/10/16/belgian-air-force-mechanic-opens-fire-by-mistake-blows-up-another-f-16/

Damnit I hope your not in the military.

You learn to deal with it without taking medicine. Drugs are a crutch. Tylenol or nothing faggot.

You're not legally obligated to go through with the contract even if a purchase agreement is signed. You should consult a search engine to set you free.

Broke a $1000 projector lamp because two colleagues did unexpected things.

Thankfully it was still in its protective casing otherwise I'd be finding shards of glass under my skin to this day.

My crew has been doing renovations on a really old church in Paris. Decided to sneak a smoke in the attic yesterday. Really don't want to fucking talk about it though

Man, I can sympathize with that. A kid in my E+M lab in undergrad did that and got a hell of a screaming from the professor, all his assignments were brutally graded after that as well. No benefit of the doubt, ever.

I'm not sure if it was me or what exactly happened but I was the last one to work on a guy's car and it caught on fire and burned his garage down. All I did was pull a freeze plug and put a block heater in it. People gave me a lot of shit about it. The fire started in the under hood fuse box. I don't know how I would have caused it but everyone said I did

Working in the offshore wind turbine business, did a helicopter intervention(flight from land to offshore structure) to fix something.
Forgot to flip an important switch so we couldn't start up the system remotely once we got back onshore. Had to take another heli flight to flip a switch in a extremely remote location.
Helicopter flights costed $6000 + cost of loss of production.

I've also left the power off and fucked up the signal system which didn't have power to operate. Resulting in the container trains being delayed a couple hours until the problem was fixed. it's about a mil an hour in lost revenue

I hit (and broke) a 400€ tv with my head cause i got killed on Lol. Best part is the image ''you were killed by blablabla'' was burned on the screen for some hours

Did you have to pay up? Or at least get your ass beaten?

I was a maintenance tech. apprentice for a couple of years after community college and I once blew up an airline. Scared the shit out of me and would have probably killed me if the quick disconnect had hit my head when it blew off.

I worked at a science museum in college. They had a computer virus that apparently fucked up half the nation's computers on an old, and I mean old floppy disk.
I had never actually touched an OG floppy disk, and when I went to grab it, it apparently ripped the thin plastic casing off the magnetic diskette, and when I tried to put it back on the diskette literally ripped and torn like a Kraft single.

I managed to put the plastic casing back on the diskette and I quit my job there to work at a pet store. No idea if that disk is still there or if they know it's fucked.

Have you done the inspection yet? If not it’s almost guaranteed to find something that will allow you to pull out from the deal and get your earnest money back. You will just be out the cost of the inspection. If you have or nothing shows up, just forfeit the earnest money. I recently did this, backed out after second thoughts. I was out the $500 for the inspection but got my $1000 earnest money back.

If anything i feel bad that the kids are still going to have to deal with thriving on government benefits. Government shutdown doesn't help.

So basically you are admitting don't know what chronic pain or severe pain (cancer/heart attack/severe physical trauma or the like actually feels like.

Good to note and dismiss your teenager point of view.

Navy fag here, I was a Material Control Stock Clerk in an F/A-18 squadron. On deployment, I picked up a part for our avionics guys and brought it back to our main office for them to grab later. When they came to sign for it, I went for a fake toss to them as a joke and it slipped. It was dented as shit and was useless. ~$3,000‐$5,000 loss not including man-hours. I just wrapped it up and told the ship supply office we got it that way. A friend of mine accidentally shattered the crystal on a heads-up display and that was $25,000 in damages.

Chronic pain isn’t a simple matter of will. Until I had months and months of physical therapy, the pain could be debilitating. NSAIDs rarely worked. Unfortunately, a lot of prescription pain meds didn’t work, either, so I just had to endure it for the most part, other than drinking. The fact that pain meds didn’t work probably saved me from opioid addiction, but I thought about killing myself a lot.

>tl;dr version: Fuck off with your smug bullshit about chronic pain

They didn't actually, they were designed to be long-range nuclear bombers but could also carry 21x 1,000 lbs conventional bombs.
They only time they ever got used was in the Falklands war and they didn't do much useful then except maybe be an ECM platform that helped other aircraft.
They were made obsolete by Trident and other ICBM nukes which were a much simpler way of nuking things far away.

You sound like a fag.

generators are supposed to work synchronically, 0 deg out of phase. in case of 180deg one generator acts as load of the other (one of them consumes the energy that the other produces), hence no generation, hence, stopping motors.

If it is at a plant start-up can be 'understable'. But at a already operating plant, ffs, you don't want that.

worked at an urban outfitters a few years ago, went into the backstock to get something and propped up the door with a fire extinguisher because it was the only thing nearby. as soon as i get back up to the floor i hear people talking over the walkies about a fire extinguisher exploding. it covered a shit ton of product in this yellow dust, got all over the hallway and stained the floor, apparently it was so bad this one dude breathed it in and started coughing/spitting up/puking yellow. the manager's office desktop was a picture of our manager sweeping up all that shit with an annoyed look on her face for a little bit. they never knew it was me, this chick went in around the same time i did apparently and they didn't blame her because she was a fucking chick. just imagine the shit i would've been in if they found out it was me. it was at least a couple hundred dollars worth of clothes/house stuff.

Dude what? No.

Contributions were over 200m total for those 100k people.

Somehow I literally sorted the SSN column different from the amount column in Excel. The first row matched, so i assumed the rest also matched when I did a copy and paste. The total was also the exact same amount.

Boy was I wrong.

true, we would have people steal a bunch of shit all of the time, but i was like 22 and didn't know any better. and it set off because i used it to hold the door open because of its weight, and it must've not been enough and shifted. the door closed and it exploded in an enclosed room. they must've heard it making noise and ran in immediately, breathing in the powder that filled up the room and hallway. i doubt he threw up, but they were saying he was coughing up dust which seems possible.

check those quads, see you later perras

Whats your weight, height and gender?

You are being dense. I mean I mixed up as in I had one row that was sorted differently than another. Not that I got the SSN row switched with the amount row.

The SSN row got sorted independently from the amount row. Therefore everyone but one person got the wrong amount of money, but the total amount of everyone was correct.

What the fuck? Hardy backer screws fucking drill their own holes.... Were you drilling in the slab? Were you using a hammer drill and a rated hammer drill masonry bit? Should be able to use one bit all day long.

Obviously a sandnigger

GC was a cheap fuck, I usually used a shitty makita impact and [spoiler]drywall screws[/spoiler]
The fucker seemed to have an endless supply of bits (excess from buying 5-20lb boxes of screws) and i would literally snap 15 bits installing hardy board in a 6x8 area.
Fuck if I'm gonna be using my personal power tools working under someone, only things I'll bring is my tool belt, hammer, punch, square and a tape measure.

You’ve obviously never seen one in flight. Awesome aircraft.

Plus actually read up or better still watch the documentary on the Falklands mission. Inspiring stuff

>drywall screws
mcfucking kill yourself
Even if I'm working for someone else I won't use that shit.
When you say 'bits' do you mean you #2 Phillips bits or were you literally drilling holes in a slab and running fucking drywall screws into them?

>mcfucking kill yourself
You've never worked for an extreme penny-pincher have you? I've tried to get him to purchase the correct screws but I don't press matters too much when he's the one that writes my check. My shithole of a state is severely lacking in the jobs department and most contractors usually only hire scumfuck pillheads and beaners that can hardly speak english, both of which I refuse to work with. Yes, it was Phillips bits.

Yeah I wouldn't even do that. I've worked for cheap people before and I explain to them that breaking 15 niggerass bits is a waste of my time and theirs. My work is good and no one questions my advice.

no, she still purchased the jams. everything else was in ruins

Construction error. Was digging around fiber optic bundle. was about 80-120 thousand dollar oopsie

I finally got out of carpentry work for the most part and landed a nice cushy job in an AutoBody shop for my state's DOH. Only thing construction related I'll do nowadays is roofing and siding on the weekends during the spring and fall, I usually will hire non mexican/pillhead help and I'll make em' sign a waiver that if they're stupid enough to fall off a roof, I ain't liable.

the retard here is the guy who left its coke in open air.

As a testmanager for a banking software I said it will be fine. I knew it won't. I guess the damages were around 20 million dollars and 15000 angry employees. still worked there for another year as I managed to blame the project manager

You move hundreds of millions of retirement contributions with Excel Sheets?!

Seriously? You're either fooling or that's pure idiocracy in the bureau you work.

We used to laugh how bad our management was, when we had to more our timber storages (around 100 000 €) with Excels for couple of years, until we got a proper managing program.

Drove a forklift into a 10inch water line, flooding a factory with about 6 inches of water before it was able to be shut off. Many machines damaged or destroyed. Fired.

I am seriously considering doing this.

What kind of internet do you have?

I used to be a SharePoint consultant and I was thinking the same thing honestly.

Good.

I have a Verizon hotspot. 90/month for "unlimited" but throttled after 15 gigs. There are probably better deals out there but I haven't bothered to change. The throttled speed is still enough to stream Netflix.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I am serious about it. I have some money in the bank and nothing tying me down and I'm sick of the daily grind.

It's really not even an issue. I can get stuff sent to friends places or general delivery at a post office. There are also mail services that will provide an address and forward mail for this precise circumstance though I've never bothered with one.
>Are there any other snags you have run into, things you wish you could have done differently, or advice you can give?
Legit I just wish I'd done it sooner.
You should have some money or credit available in case of break down but honestly this life is freeing in so many ways I can't begin to explain right now.

Maintenance tech here too.
I opened a valve instead of keeping it closed during a maintenance operation, and flooded hot bitumen (200 deg C) somewhere it shouldn’t be. It cost the company about 100K and almost killed one co-worker. I’m still working for the company.

> OCDness

First week working at a ford plant I fucked up the machine I was supposed to use so badly they had to shut down the line for the rest of the shift.

Sent home everyone, with pay. They had to replace the machine, and stop production. Supervisor broke down the costs to me, and let me go. Was somewhere in the 300,000 range.

I was a service technician and had a major depression and stress burnout and neglected the shit out of a contract and lost the customer.

10s of millions a month loss to the company.
I warned the bosses for months that contract needed to be taken away from me and I couldn't handle the massive workload they put on me on top of it, so fuck em.

If we send a tree onto the tracks, or smash up a signal box or infrastructure and it shuts down the line, they will try bill me 6,5k a minute for the loss of business during shut down. Do not fuck with the trains. Fell trees onto each other by all means, do not fell them onto, or near the tracks.

I love my job but it can go horrifically wrong fast.

Don't fuck up until your probation is over and you're solid with the union.

Trying to make it work with a girl who cheated on me. Don't be that fool. Even if you still have love for her, she doesn't love you. I want those wasted dinners and vacations back.

I think only the jams were broken, everything else was just in a mess.

I do engineering work. I feel that feel. I havent done something like it but coworkers have.

It's not a mistake, but during a feasibility test I did on some equipment, we found bacterial buildup. Shut down production for 4 days and cost the company about 50k.

Just went to the quarterly meeting and they talked about it.

just build an addition what you need to care about on houses is proper plumbing and wiring the rest is just appearences.

There's a story about how when I was a child, my mother was shopping in some giant supermarket and I knocked a big plastic bottle of motor oil off a shelf and it split and started leaking.
My mother just kind of took off around the corner so no one would know we were involved but I picked up the bottle and ran after her thinking that she hadn't noticed the problem or something. She kept going and I chased after her leaving a trail of motor oil all through the store until I caught her and handed her a half-empty bottle of motor oil and told her that it broke.

>You’ve obviously never seen one in flight. Awesome aircraft.
I've seen video, I'm sure they're cool.
Operation Black Buck was a total waste of time and money though. It accomplished basically nothing, put one half of one runway out of commission for about 12 hours, it didn't even prevent the combat aircraft from using it, just heavies.
The only material effect it had was that during their attack flights, their ECM provided an umbrella to the harriers and that was basically a mistake and if the airforce knew they were helping the navy like that, they probably wouldn't have done it.

The entire mission was purely because the airforce wanted to look useful somehow since the navy was taking all the glory in the war and budgets had already been cut a lot in the airforce and they looked like they were about to lose their nuclear role to the navy too.
It was entirely about inter-departmental politics and budgeting, with no sound military objectives or outcomes.

>but the post refers to the Vulcan M61 20mm cannon not the plane itself
And therein is the joke, user.

>They only time they ever got used was in the Falklands war and they didn't do much useful then except maybe be an ECM platform that helped other aircraft.

the Black Buck missions scared the living shit out of the Argentines, and landed a bomb cleanly in the middle of the airport runway. Doing so denied its use to fast jets, and gave them the realisation that the Vulcans could strike from Ascension Island - meaning they could also strike Buenos Aires and mainland targets, if so needed - including with nuclear strikes. That made the junta withdraw the FAA's Dassault Mirage jets to the mainland.

The end result of that move was that the Mirages' patrols left them on limited fuel reserves when on CAP over the Falklands, which meant that they were unable to use the mirage's primary strength - high-energy, high altitude intercept. As a result, the mirages were matched by the subsonic Harriers flying at ground level. as a result of which the Argentines lost air superiority control over the Falkland airspace. As a result of that loss, the RN landing craft were able to land almost unopposed, and retake the island.

the Vulcan was the indirect lynchpin that formed the foundation of the entire retaking of the Falklands. quite the opposite of "didnt do much useful"

Kek

bwahaha, you dumb fuck
Sometimes it's crazy to think how stupid we all were as children

Used shitty valves in a nice engine.
Top of the valve snapped off and fell into the combustion chamber.
It chewed the piston and block and caused a fuel fire out of the carb, destroying a few accessories in the process.

never was a fan of fallout ever since las vegas.

>it didn't even prevent the combat aircraft from using it, just heavies.

the opposite - the fast jets couldnt use it, the heavy transports could (FAA used STOL C-130's)

the Black Buck missions' largest impact, however, wasnt bombing the runway, it was the psychological impact on the Junta leadership, who hadnt expected the UK to have anything like that sort of force projection. they thought they were out of range.

game is literally made by retarded hamsters

Bought a used (but really nice) Volvo sedan. My previous car was pretty crappy. There was sufficient engine noise that it was really easy to hit shift points based on sound, so I never looked at the Tachometer. New car was nearly silent. Took it onto the highway the first day I had it. Didn't get any engine noise to prompt me to shift. Ran it up to about 75-80 mph in third gear and blew the engine.

Ouch.

Worked in a plastic factory for two years making toilet paper dispensers. Made about 400 units of an Electrical dispenser that cost about $60 per part. Didn't notice the machine wasn't fully molding the part in one area. They all got rejected by the customer and we had to throw them out.

Good times.

Checked.
