I am hoping this will serve as a deterrent to beginner armorers taking jobs they are unqualified for and give them the backbone to say “No!” to unsafe requests.

To update: I see that she testified the assistant director told her that, the one who took a plea deal. That person is not her boss, but I accept it counts as “anyone else”. The point remains - it is her job to politely tell them to go f’ themselves or walk off the set, like the camera crew did.

Osha is concerned with the management of a workspace, both in the procedures and the physical layout, not affixing blame to individual workers.

Neither her boss nor anyone else told her such, but even had the request been made it is Gutierrez-Reed’s responsibility to do the check regardless or walk off the set.

There is quite a bit and it shows all the times stuntment and others were wandering about with real guns, too often pointing them at other people. One particular instance was a stuntman using a revolver as a pointing tool to indicate the direction some piece of action would occur, just aligning the barrel with most of…

The problem is, he’s not the only one to get the launchpad to fame. Oprah has quite a track record of supporting truly horrific people. Dr. Oz is another example.

I’ve been watching the testimony and there was plenty of time. Check to see the barrel is clear - 30 seconds. Rattle each of 6 rounds, 3 seconds each or look for the hole drilled in the side to ensure there is no powder in the shell - about 18 seconds more. Think about what a nice day it is and close up the pistol.…

I doubt the reaction would be the same on X were it two male sailors and it was consensual and was just now being displayed for the first time. 

Linear Compressor. You’re welcome.

Longer wash and longer dry = more wear out of clothing from friction.

You realize a certain amount of energy is required to get water to evaporate? Generally, no matter how long it takes, the amount of energy to evaporate the water is the same. Since running the motor longer takes more energy than running the motor for less time, it certainly seems as if more energy will generally be…

The relevant $400 board. With the custom encrypted ROM that is looking for matching serial numbers on other boards. Just a matter of time. 

You know why front loaders save on water? Because they filter all the dirt back through the clothes when they drain. 

I just spent like $15 on a new drive belt that I put in in under 30 minutes on a dryer that is old enough I no longer recall when I got it. 

Probably a scene where Timothy is on a sand worm segment, braced with the hooks and one of the other actors comes up, slaps a hook and says “This isn’t going anywhere.”

Every blank and every dummy round is clearly identifiable as such; if such identification is not made the round is considered live.

The last book of the Dark Tower series is such a jumble of borrowed parts and pieces; I think King is a prolific writer and bit by bit is good, but when JK Rowling’s creations show up in King’s world was what derailed it for me. The fact the ending wasn’t an ending - it’s King’s world and that’s the way it is, but I…

No one has been attacked by a tunnel. The discussion was rocket launchers near hospitals.

Ukraine has demonstrated with cheap drones they can individually take out individual pieces of equipment and individuals with no collateral damage. Israel is supposed to have a more sophisticated than any army on Earth, yet they cannot hit a courtyard? Gotta blow the neighboring buildings to dust at the same time?…

It’s been a while since a rocket made it past the Iron Dome. Those rockets are mainly as effective as bricks tossed at main battle tanks, for which they also kill Palestinians.
