Frozen burrito slathered in sour cream is vile. At least dip it like a civilized person 😂

If you’re pounding one out that won’t really save you. He probably games with headphones and just doesn’t want to get jump scares by mom.

I always had a desk and a bed and I made a point to never have my back towards the door when I was at my desk for the above reason.

Ya, family holidays are stressful. If you smoke weed and know a relative smokes weed, it’s tradition to “go for a walk” or have a “safety meeting” or “take out the trash” to break away from the main group and get some fresh air.

In my family it’s my brother and his wife. Usually right after dinner.

The obvious one is an enclosure or latches door to prevent accidental falls. They might be wearing fall protection that we can’t see but I doubt it.

There’s a good chance nobody ever fell from one of these but those regulations exist for a reason.

Maybe less obvious is fail-safes for any elevator system so if the brakes fail it doesn’t freefall into the ground.

I went to Chicago air and water show this year. Blue angels did a low pass and it was deafening. Couldn’t imagine being that close

Sorta. CBM is cubic meters and the entire world uses feet for shipping containers. For Intl logistics CBM and kg are the standard for volume and weight but they get loaded into containers measured in feet.

You’ll see similar stuff in other industries. Machining a lot of measurements are in mm but tolerances in “mils” or 1/1000 of an inch. Or medical where volume is in mL or drams.

When it comes to distance though I only really know miles.

For context 28 CBM is about the volume of a 20’ container.

Or a stacked pallet is about 1.8 CBM so about 15 standard height pallets.
