Unlike your table saw, companies have to have isolation plans in place to perform routine maintenance. All equipment is designed to be isolated for work at some point. Only critical equipment should require shutting down the whole plant.
That's why proper LO/TO requires VERIFICATION prior to starting work. Locking out is step 1, verifying the energy is isolated is step 2. In your home example, yes you can put a lock on the breaker, but then you still have to verify with a meter to verify the line you are working on is de-energized.
In the case of this robot, it was obviously not powered down, it was not verified powered down, and no-one considered the hazard. That's a failure of process safety which would be the company's fault if the hazard wasn't identified. It's a failure of personal safety and the employee's fault if the hazard was identified and the energy isolation was skipped.
This should come as no shock to anyone who has ever been in a swamp. You can pump out water forever... You're just going to have new shit flowing in to replace it.
Instead of a compromise solution, we get extremes and the winners ranting about how democracy requires them to get everything they want and fuck you fascist anti-democrat for even daring to question it.
That perfectly explains every piece of legislation for the last 20 years...
Except everyone who is familiar with the law outside of Washington politics has called out the FBI director for a problem with his conclusion. His evidence against her is solid but he said it wasn't something a reasonable prosecutor would pursue because there was no evidence of Hillary's intent. However, intent is not a factor in the execution of the law. Even negligence without intent is enough to bring a case on.
I am all about a presumption of innocence for the defense in a court case. If there is suspicion of a crime and no court case will ever be held, I don't have to maintain a neutral stance and all I can do is consider guilt on my own knowing that for whatever reason she will never see a court room or a judge.
Conspiracies and a government where the leaders aren't held to the same standards as the citizens have very similar structures don't they?
So yes, if you throw out everything the FBI director and media have reported, then there is no evidence against Hillary. What's the point of any of this discussion if you (with your apparent prejudice) refuse to accept the direct words of the FBI director himself in a press conference? That's as close to raw evidence as any of the public is going to get. It's so nice that she deleted all of the records when subpoenaed (well reportedly she did) so there can be no evidence you can review on your own.
Am I prejudiced? Yes. Are you? Also yes. I don't think you know what disqualifies one from a jury... Having any kind of prejudice and making a decision based on incomplete evidence is the norm for jurors. And luckily for Hillary, no jury ever will get to rule on it because the FBI said so. That is totally a more fair system...
No, I've judged her as having broken the law based on evidence that the FBI director provided to the public. I'm not saying all prosecutors are too corrupt to take the case, but that the FBI believes that is the case (again, the FBI director's words, not mine). If using evidence provided by the FBI director in a press conference is "hearsay" then what evidence would you accept? Good luck getting your hands on the server drives or phones that were confessed to have been destroyed by the Clinton staff.
I'm not claiming to have all of the information. The information I do have clearly indicates the law was not followed. If you want to call that guilty you are welcome to even if it doesn't fit the legal definition of guilty. I would argue it is far more likely that she is guilty of much more than just mishandling classified information and lying about it during congressional hearings. She's probably also guilty of obstruction of justice, destroying evidence, and racketeering. Conspiracy is also likely if she is guilty of those as well. But I'm content with giving her the benefit of the doubt and only being "beyond a reasonable doubt" that she mishandled classified information.
Furthermore, I don't need any of this information or legal proceedings to have ample evidence that there is massive and widespread corruption throughout our legal system. For that all you need to do is look at any case involving a politician or law enforcement officer. They are not held to the same standards as We The People are.
That's the key right there. Piss poor city planning... Which is directly caused by large real estate developers. I live in the suburbs of Atlanta. Got a crowded street that is a clusterfuck? Sure developer, build a huge dense townhouse development right in the middle of it! We aren't even going to make you pay for improvements to the already overcrowded street.
Going to make a massive development that occupies multiple square miles in the middle of a crowded urbanizing area? Sure, go right ahead and don't bother needing to put any 4 lane thoroughfares through your development either. Make everyone go around on the undersized avenues on the edges of the development.
Meanwhile 2 lane state highways built in the 60s that back up for miles aren't getting improved because the state is upgrading rural 2 lane highways to divided highways to bypass a small 1 stoplight town to save rural drivers a few seconds every trip.
Public transit you say? Yeah, those same residents who complain about traffic cutting through their neighborhood constantly vote against MARTA expansion. Heaven forbid those urban elements (non-white people) have access to the suburbs...
No, the entitled people are the ones in neighborhoods that were designed without through streets. I have no sympathy for the rich neighborhoods I cut through to get home every day and I flagrantly violate every one of their unnecessary stop signs. Maybe if those rich people didn't want people cutting through their residential street (which has no houses on it by the way) they would have actually designed some thoroughfares through their massive 2 square mile with a lake community in the middle of gridlocked suburbs...
These residents who complain about commuter traffic through their neighborhoods sure aren't clamoring to improve their major streets to allow for more traffic capacity to get people off the rural roads. It's far easier for them to lower speed limits, add stop signs, and have the cops issue tickets to get those pesky commuters back in their gridlock where they belong.
judged that in total, it wasn't enough to even make a reasonable case
No, they judged that no prosecutor would take the case... All of the evidence they gathered clearly showed that she broke several laws. She is innocent until proven guilty in court, but the courts never got to rule. Thus the only ruling that can be gathered is based on the evidence that the FBI released which was overwhelmingly that Hillary didn't follow the law.
I believe in the rule of law. Hillary is guilty, but not in jail because she broke the law, but no reasonable prosecutor would put her in a court room. That's not the rule of law, that's the powerful not being subject to the laws because of prosecutorial discretion.
Nope, it was a warranty issue that the cruise wasn't working. Default tech behavior for warranty work is to return things to factory condition and see if the problem goes away.
I disconnected the module with a box that allowed me to use the On-Star buttons for bluetooth connection to my phone. After awhile the cruise control and other features stopped working. Dealership removed my box that allowed me to use my phone for what it should be able to do from the factory and told me On-Star was required for the cruise control to work properly.
I have since sold that car and have a Ford with a shittier infotainment system... But at least bluetooth works.
You don't have to pull a fuse, you can unplug the box. But when you do, random things that shouldn't be related to the On-Star service will stop working... For my Pontiac G6, it was the cruise control that wouldn't work without the On-Star module connected.
I unplugged the On-Star module on my Pontiac G6 (I no longer own it) and suddenly things would stop working. The cruise control going out was the most annoying. Why the hell is On-Star even connected to the cruise control system?
It's called earth? Maybe you missed the physics lessons where the atmosphere is bleeding off into space at a certain rate, but gas emissions from within the earth tend to keep the atmosphere is a semi-constant state of pressure and composition?
Kind of like the science fair project I judged one time. It concluded that Elmer's glue was the same strength as Gorilla glue (and a few other glues). Looking at the experiments I informed the middle school student that their study setup sadly had determined the tensile strength of popsicle sticks, not the shear strength of glue. You also have to make sure your experiment end point isn't influenced by limited equipment or testing setup.
I admit, I'm not familiar with Chilean history, but other than the fact that Pinochet was influenced by free market economic ideas of Hayek I can find no evidence Pinochet is considered libertarian. Libertarian isn't just economic freedom, it's limited government with rights retained by the people. Pinochet was a military dictator who ruled with an iron fist. That's not libertarian by any stretch of the definition. Learn your political science.

Speedo worked fine. Pretty sure it's just a "feature" GM includes to make your life a living hell if you unplug Onstar.
