the phone that I run my business out of started doing this. I could turn it on for 60 seconds at a time to offload my data and it would start ballooning and I would have to turn it back off once it reached a certain size. I left it outside to do the factory reset
drove it over to my local transfer station to make sure i didn’t light my garbage men on fire.
Not anymore if we let the woke left win. The motherfuckers will force me to wear the cat ears and eat grass. If the woke left wins all restaurants will be closed and replaced with plots of land where we can graze on for a allotted amount of time.
I work in propane and have since late 2015. Used to work in the yard refilling, re-valving, painting, etc. these cylinders and tanks.
One of those things I did was empty (purge) the tanks before I pulled the valves out. Normally you do this by hooking them to a burn tower that pulls the fuel out and burns it away like 15 feet above everyone’s head. My company didn’t have permission from the city for they do we set up a tower anyway and just let the fuel pour out of it. You can imagine how… Fucking stupid that was?
Many times (I literally cannot count) people walked out with lit cigarettes and I was ready to die.
There’s also the time my safety manager lit his flip flop on fire and kicked it over the propane dispenser WHILE IT WAS ON FIRE
Also: never swap your propane tanks at one of these cage services. Many of them will aim to give you a close to, or fully out of date tank so you cannot get them filled at a normal fill spot. They’re also insanely expensive. If the swap out is $25 for a 5-gallon tank then you’d need to be spending $5/gallon at the dispenser for it to be even close in price, and if your propane dispenser is selling it to you for that or more then you’re being fucked
Oh there’s more like it, too, lol. Like the time a tank WASNT actually empty and I popped the valve off (I had done everything to bleed it off, the bleeder was stuck full of bug gunk I’d later find out). I was deaf for 5 minutes, the valve landed 1 building over, luckily didn’t hit anyone/anything.
Then there’s the time the cigarette guy climbed up the back of a fuel truck and popped the tank and looked in. He had a cig in his mouth, lit, and thought it was a diesel truck. It was a gas one. Had it been more empty (this fumes) he’d likely have blown his stupid ass up. Instead, he jumped off and twisted his ankle. I unironically hate that man with a passion for many, many reasons.
Or the time my co-worker was doing knife work and just stabbed himself in the gut. That one’s a classic: overconfidence in cutting TOWARDS one’s self.
Ooh, ooh, a good one: trimming trees with a chainsaw while on a pallet on a forklift 20ft in the air, held on by a rope tied around your WAIST. That was also the safety manager lol
Let me be clear: I’ve worked for chickenshit outfits like this before, where safety was an afterthought, so I can appreciate and relate to these stories.
That said, these all take the cake. Like I have seen and done some really sketchy shit, and these all top most of my stories.
I used to work 16+ hour days, stand in a dump trailer (confined space sort of), in the dark, and have a tractor lift 1 tonne bags of pellets into the trailer, open them (working under a suspended load), and dump the contents at my feet. The bags sometimes ripped from their hooks on the tractor and would come down fast.
Funny enough he really was the safest and smartest guy on the team, the burning flip flop was someone else’s fault lol
They’d poured some unknown diesel on the ground and held a lighter to it (testing if it was tainted with gasoline, it’ll burn if so) and apparently it was VERY gasoline mixed. Idiot grabs a WATER HOSE to spray it so safety manager, who’s on lunch and pulling into the yard jumps out of his truck and stomps on the fire to put it out. Just as the first guy sprays the water.
The fire skitters and lights the flip flop on fire, which safety manager kicks off without a thought because it was ON FUCKING FIRE, he just happened to arc it perfectly over the 500g dispenser tank. Another coworker ran over from “off camera” and doused it like 5 seconds after that, it was truly a comedy.
If safety manager was around then all of us yardies were in our steel toes, Anti-Flame gear, and wearing a mask and glasses if the work called for it. He was in the office 90% of the time dealing with bullshit though so we 3 idiots and an actually autistic guy that was so bad he needed supervision just to live (yeah they let him work around EXPLOSIVES) regularly did shit that would have gotten us shut the fuck down, and rightfully so. Gotta eat, though, so…
In particular, note the nonsensical reflection in the mirror (which is inexplicably placed on the floor?), weird toilet paper roll, and half-unicorn horn half-third ear thing sticking out from the head.
And if you check out that Pinterest account, it’s full of AI-generated crap too.
Which mostly just demonstrates how good the AI has become, to the point where if you scale down the image somewhat, it fools humans and AI detectors alike.
lmao no wonder something looked so off to me, the HD verision makes it even clearer that it’s AI-generated, even more so considering the website it came from.
Interestingly enough even the larger image on the original website fooled most of the AI image detectors, with only one of them (isitai.com) just barely saying that the image is probably AI-generated, while all the others said with >90% confidence that it wasn’t.
I can only speculate that all of these detectors are outdated and were trained with older AI-generated images that were easier to detect.
Which came first? The AI image could be a bad render of the original picture with low quality.
There’s issues with models pushing back source material with minor modifications, which suggest they were trained on some copyrighted material. It seems like it could be the case here. Or, as you suggest, it’s a lowering of the AI quality to add a more realistic appearance.
Lol motherfuckers playing the victim, the prosecuted, and the weak when no one cares besides wanting equality. Oh and also stop molesting children you fuckin perves in white gowns.
The states are wrong. That’s a sausage roll, and it’s been a sausage roll for decades. The whole “pig in a blanket” thing is a new thing from people that basically reinvented the sausage roll and didn’t have the sense to check if it already existed.
I’m not exaggerating when I say that wars were started over less, and Australia and the UK would probably happily have their finger on the nuclear button if America doesn’t come to its senses and just embrace the correct food names…
Anger aside, I’m absolutely shocked that Greggs hasn’t tried to make its way stateside. Extremely cheap, fast food that’s greasy as fuck, has barely any nutritional value, and so convenient that you can just eat it out of the bag - sounds like an American dream.

I’ve found American food is generally less liquidy grease than british food. Americans don’t want fried chicken dripping in grease, they want it dried then covered in various sauces. Also places like golden corral and cracker barrel already exist and are kinda dying
No idea why this is downvoted, America does love a condiment. Thankfully, sausage rolls are extremely dippable, and some people do decide to dunk them in all sorts. It’s not something I’d do, but I’d tolerate it.

I’m all for American versions of things, but please get these staples of British cuisine right.
Kind of ironic this is where you’re making a stand.
The first known use of the recipe for pig in a blanket, the American cuisine, was in 1940 by the US military.
The first known use of the recipe for pigs in blankets, the British cuisine, was in 1957 and was inspired by British soldiers who tried the American version during WWII.
But the American monstrosity is a rip-off of sausage rolls, which originated centuries ago. They gave a name to something that they should have known to already exist. Frankly, I’m all for revoking America’s independence and returning them to secondary colony status over this…
Typically when I do it, I do the tasks like watering plants, feeding pets, etc. I also believe the point of house sitting is to make it appear occupied and busy, so I spend about an hour playing with the pets, watching tv, and cleaning up little messes
You just sit there and so what you normally do but there are pets that aren’t yours that you have to take care of and sometimes (often) they are not very well trained
I did it for a friend last summer. I Had the same questions. You do those things but the most important part is making sure people knows that the house was never left alone.
In the previous year, my friend got robbed while being on vacation, so she asked me for the favor.
Back in the 90s I was living in a small apartment, so house-sitting for a friend meant that I got to stay in a house, watching satellite TV with cats. A good deal.
With these corridors, they fence the road so that the animals can only pass over the bridge. And youre right, sometimes they do raise the road and let animals pass under. It depends on the topography.
When we design things like this in reclamation, there is often the concern that the designed feature can act like a trap or increase predation. There was an article a while back that showed that these are actually safe, and blend into the surrounding landscape in terms of risk to the animals.
Oh look, someone actually backing their viewpoint up on the internet:
i’d imagine that risk would be easily outweighed by animals being able to safely cross anyways, not like predators just sit there inhaling prey unceasingly, they would go there to catch something then leave with their food to go eat.
While you’re right, in that predators won’t sit there, doing their best to get on Season 8 of My 600-lb life, they definitely exploit linear corridors like this if they aren’t properly constructed. Transmission lines, for instance, can be really gnarly for ungulates. Both predators and prey are smart. For predators, if there’s an easy meal to be had, they’ll continue to over-use this feature on the landscape, rather than the rest of their habitat (why cook, when you can order in?). This in and of itself is an impact on the natural ecosystem, and something we try to avoid, when the goal is ‘no impact’ or ‘as close to no impact as possible’.
From a prey standpoint, if you see Jim-Bob getting ripped apart by wolves, or got chased by pack of hungry wolves, you’d be pretty hesitant to use that feature again, now wouldn’t you? In this regard, not properly designing these things can essentially render them useless to ungulates and the like, and prevent the re-connection of the two polygons (areas) we’re trying to connect.
I sent it better to funnel wildlife into traps for predators than to have the wildlife killed by vehicles on a road, attracting those predators onto the road seeking out their carcasses only to be hit by vehicles themselves?
Many owls and raptors get killed because they are trying to feed on a carcass in the road and get hit themselves.
