I'm conflicted by this comment thanks to Poe's Law.

Oh, no, I agree. I don't consider ignoring rules "human error" when it is intentional. Management ordering a faulty safety to be disabled then getting someone hurt because the safety was disabled is so much worse than an error. Much worse, when I saw this happen, management then blamed the guy who disabled the safety.

I'd be impressed if that statue remains un-vandalized for long without significant security.

Either that, or the processes weren't followed. At least, that's been my experience with regulatory stuff.

Ah, yes. States' rights obviously don't matter anymore.

Hah! My mom was my ride to work, and since she started her work day at 6 am, that meant I got dropped off at a little after 5 am, several hours before the park opened. And the music was still playing then. I got so sick of hearing Vivaldi's The Four Seasons (at least, La Primavera. I don't remember if they played other music from The Four Seasons).

I did close on occasion, but I was usually opening. I admit it was one of the better jobs I had when I was young. I tried transfering to other stores the following season (one in Germany, then one in France). I should've stuck with the Emporium.

Italy was one of my favorite places to go for lunch! It was a long walk, though; I was in the Emporium in England. So we probably did meet!

Huh. Small world. I worked at BG that year. It was my first job. Didn't keep the name tag though. They kept putting your home state or country on badges for a few years after.

I was amused to learn it existed. I worked in a cold warehouse but the battery room (where they charge the forklifts) was always too cold, so they put a Big Ass Fan in to push the warm air down from the ceiling. "Wait, is that really its name?" Yup.

The assembly shop I work in now has two of these fans. Feels like once I learned they existed, I started seeing them everywhere.

But... it is easy. And so is the package manager. You don't have to use the command line if you don't want to, it is just another option.

I still play XCOM 2. The mod Long War of the Chosen really breathed new life into the game for me. I'd love to see the series continue.
