My Wife’s Father. I don’t care for him even if he has changed following a letter she wrote to him saying she’d be out of his life if he didn’t. In the past he beat her Mom and put my Wife through constant guilt trips. He honestly has changed a lot since the letter and he does very well with his grand daughter, but I just wanted to be home with my wife and daughter after working 70 hours out of state on a retrofit job. My Wife’s mother and step father will be visiting new years weekend. I just want it to be my family, but my Wife needs the help watching our daughter while I’m gone for work, so I just put up with it like any decent human would.

Skank For Christmas - Reel Big Fish. Their Happy Skalidays album is great. I make it a yearly thing.

Sprinting to their grave? They could release elder scrolls 6 now in its current state and people would say “it’s a Bethesda game, there of course are bugs!” And move on with their day. Meanwhile Bethesda rakes in millions off a broken and incomplete game.

Same! I have been very happy since becoming more patient with buying games after release. Has saved me money too!

Great video, great guy. Always happy to see a Nakey Jakey video! It feels like he’s the only one who really sees how things are. Its too bad consumers accept video games as they are right now.

When I shop on Amazon and see the obvious China companies that sell the same product but have the strangest names. Definitely avoid those products. If I see a.company only ships via fedex, I avoid doing business with that company. Dang, I know I have more just can’t think of them right now with morning brain.

Edit: I avoid many major brands too. I belive them to be selling because of the name alone rather than having a quality product anymore. Dr Scholls is one of those,

Every try Cranberry orange relish? Take a bag of cranberries and an orange, process them or blend them to a finely chopped consistency. Add ab9it a half cup of sugar to start, then sweeten up slowly. The next day it’s a great mix of sweet and tangy.

Cheesecake and cranberry-orange relish. Such a great combo!!

Even if it was a vision system, which I highly doubt it was, there is no way a vision system could mistake anything for anything other than what it was programmed to see. Vision systems are finicky little bitches to setup. Gotta make sure your lighting is consistent and perfect, can’t place the machine near windows or else the sun will fuck up your vision system, etc. The late worker had to have accidentally triggered a box presence sensor while having the robot unsafely bypassed into a not-safe running state.

I once had to male 36 vision programs into one robot. That’s 1 vision program for each I-Beam that came in, in a stack. Couldn’t find the majority straight edges off a layer, no, had to find only one beam at a time. That was a nightmare job. To make it worse, the I-Beams camexin from the outdoors after it could snow. Water reflects light, so we had to make sure all the beams are dried off completely. Lastly, the customer later.decided to clean and update their tin roof with clear plexiglass wavy things. Well, then the vision programs stopped working from sun up to sun down…vision systems are finicky little bitches!

Crazy shit. My boss had to pull someone lifeless out of a horizontal cnc mill. Doing the same procedure they both had done multiple times in the past. Except the guy accidentally triggered a sensor somewhere, which caused the machine to plunge a drill bit into the guy’s head. I am honestly surprised you can continue to work with automated equipment after something like that, it was just the other guy’s turn to do the procedure that day with my boss as assisting (way before he was my boss and we worked at the same company, so years ago). I guess if anything it explains his drive to making sure we are shipping out safe machines.

Robotics technician with 7 years under his belt here: these things only happen due to human error. Either at the integrators level (not the proper risk assessment made or poor programming/design) or by the worker (bypassing safety devices to get the job done). Now since this is South Korea, I don’t think they’d be bad off on providing safe machines in the first place. Since the robot unexpectedly moved, I’d have to guess the fence circuit of the robotic cell was jumped out in some way. Either by a hardwire jumper or taking the safety key off the door and jamming it in the receiving locking module. Normally when a safety circuit is broken (Emergency Stop, Fence/Gate/Light Curtain or Non-Teaching Enable Device) the robot has power to its servo motors disconnected physically.

On the integrators side,.perhaps they didn’t interface a safety gate in with the robot, perhaps they didn’t use dual chain safety (24v line and a 0v line that flip at the same time and if they don’t flip within a certain time of another, safety trips due to the time discrepancy). Doesn’t say what brand of robot was being used, but the 4 types of robots I’ve used (fanuc, abb, motoman and kuka) have had force sensitive feedback to stop the robot in the event of a collision. But that’s a collision, so even a robot at 100% collision detection is going to do some damage before it stops, possibly could kill too if programmed poorly.

There is a lot that can go wrong via human negligence of automated equipment. Having integrators and customers that understand the risks and practice good safety is vital to preventing workplace injuries on automated equipment! I’m proud to say the leading industry turnkey integrator I work for always has safety number one with our machines. Normally I would call BS if someone stated that, but we have almost endless checklists and design reviews geared towards safety. That’s what makes a great integrator standout from the mom and pop shops!

Especially with Microsoft Teams. Teams is such a powerful application for businesses. It’s a pain in the ass to use on my work iPhone. ID love to have MS Phone again. They were well built and I never had any software or battery issues.

They can try, but nothing is going to beat Hunt: Showdown. Especially something coming in late to the game to only steal some revenue.

Home Rennovision on YT always seems to have good videos. I’m dumb with home stuff, but Jeff seems to dumb ot down enough and sct professional enough that, I believe his methods and practices are good and valid.

I’m jealous. I pay $155/month for two internet services: Old Faithful (10Mb/s DDL, reliable) and New Internet (up to 100Mb/s down (usually only 50Mb/s down due to trees), but flaky thanks to older wireless tech at the tower). I keep the old DSL wh3n the new wireless one flakes out. It’s better in Winter (no leaves). They have a new tower they’ve been building and finishing up for well.after a year now, which supposedly has better tech on it. Just waiting to get swit he’d over to that one…then I belive I’ll be actually getting up to 100Mb/s for $135/mo. I hate internet in America.

My employer gives a $75 voucher for boots per year. Would be great if I could find a solution to make them last that long. I should probably invest in an anti-static mat I can put at my US general box since it’s my desk/standing desk lol.

I’m ready to go to a foot dr whenever I can find the time. I work 10 hr days (sometimes 12-14 hrs when I’m on the road for work). Most if not all on concrete. I’ve tried Keen boots, Sketches, Timberland Pros, etc. Different insoles as well. They all fail way too quickly. I think it’s my feet. I’ve spent well over $400 this year on boots and insoles alone. I’m thinking of trying the Timberland Pro Mudsill boots as my last resort since they have built-in arch support, which is what I think I need. I feel a tearing on the middle of my feet after a long day’s work, which I believe is the plantar fascitis thing.

I quit smoking in 2017, but I quit nicotine all together in 2018. Since 2009 I swapped to vape cigs and more modern vape devices. Swapped back and forth back to smoking a couple times due to being fed up with bad quality with vape devices and constant maintenance. Eventually I said to help with it all in 2018 and put everything away and stopped using it, cold turkey. Had a few cigarettes a few months ago as a social smoker thing. Glad I quit and never gonna go back. It was a long journey, but hella worth it.

Sup dood.
