NWI INGO General Post - Part 8

[bradmedic04]

Shame. I'll be interested to see what happened when they start to release more details.

 

[Snapdragon]

I think I had a student by that name, but it's a fairly common name, so who knows. I hope they include his picture at some point.

 

[Redacted]

Then you will be on the same page as the other players. I'm the only one that will be at the table, that has played before, and I'll be the DM.

Where at?
What time?

 

[actaeon277]

11 days ago, I took this pic at work. I took it, cause normally, it's not green.

But leaving work the same evening I see this.

And it's been yellow since then, every day.
Now we're getting the safety lecture.
Our average of an injury EVERY OTHER day is being blown out of the water with 10 days of injuries.

Well gelling engine degreaser performed a miracle. After the application of the 3rd can of that stuff it was obvious that one of the spark plug wires was not connected to the spark plug.

That might make a difference in how it runs

Ya think?

Ya think?

Realize, I'm mostly a diesel guy. No spark plugs required!

What qualifies as an injury at US Steel? If someone gets a papercut or a hangnail, do they turn the light yellow? lol

Minor injury requires treatment at the dispensary.
Major injury requires trip to the hospital.

Not exactly, but close enough.

Red light if you get all your right side ribs broke, right shoulder smashed, hip pulverized, and guts squished out of places it shouldn't squish out of.

Yellow light for cuts, contusions, heat exhaustion, sprains/strains.

Red light amputation

 

[bradmedic04]

If you get something amputated, perhaps you could retire early. Pinky toes are pretty useless.

Not in Indiana, maybe Illinois.

I had heard the guy who owns the Hessville Log Cabin was a victim of a mill accident, the proceeds of which allowed him to build his lovely/weird ass cabin in hammond. Perhaps that's just ghetto lore.

So car gurus Jedi does not think this is normal wear on a tire. What say you?

New tires were bought and installed on 01/14/2014.
This is the front driver side. The front passenger side is beginning to look like this as well. As if it is peeling.
The back tires look fine just like new actually.
Tires have been driven about 4K miles since installed.
The "white" strip you see is actually metal stitching.

 

[bradmedic04]

That thing looks like it might blow. Did you check the tire pressure? What about alignment?

Unless those tires cost $10, that's not normal 4000 mile wear.

 

[jedi]

pressure was 35

 

[melensdad]

Looks like it was badly aligned or not aligned at all.

Install new tires and you should have the alignment done at the same time. If you don't align them you run the risk of uneven wear, which is what that looks like.

 

[jedi]

Well to NTB jedi goes as those tires were bought AND aligned in JAN 2014.
Thanks

On the bright side guess that will finally break jedi working every single day.

10 years ago, I noticed 1 in 10 people that I worked with were missing a toe, finger, or part of a foot.
I've seen a guy leave after losing leg below the knee after being run over by a tank tread.
And a woman lost her leg after losing a collision with a forklift. She actually came back for a while because she wanted to retire at a round 50 yrs.

Why? Wife can't take it in?

 

[jedi]

Why? Wife can't take it in?

It is possible but the van is NOT CLEARED to go into work building so Jedi would have to drive into city with it and then pay for parking in downtown.
Bad enough Jedi has worked 20 straight days. Plus tomorrow's work can wait. Jedi has had it with both the contractors and what work wants.
