| Username is Starcraft2 reference, loosely inspired by some uThermal build that was mis-referenced by Harstem and maybe misremembered by me as "the repairman build". Thankfully I never had any safety incidents. But nothing I was doing was safe work while under the effects of sleep deprivation. We had a dozen different ways to kill people directly and hundreds of things could go wrong to kill people in more Rube Goldberg fashions. I was unhappy with the work environment so I left. Some of those include: - A 3 mile long cable under +/- 10,000 lbs of tension - A powerful neutron generator that can be started with two button clicks on a windows desktop - Little radioactive source materials like the one that was lost in Brazil[0] - High voltage & current electricity - Shaped charges[1] (these are really only used in military and oil wells AFAIK) 0: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goiânia_accident 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpVVGk2OfQQ&t=0m10s |
Wasn't aware of any applicability in that space, but freely admit I've not spent many cycles on contemplating the issue. Like I guess being a fundamental part of some diagnostic or sensor gear maybe... but neutrons sources? Gamma I might could understand. Neutrons're just good for making shit hard to dispose of I thought.
The cable would legit give me nightmares though.
If you're not at liberty to say, that's fine, but man. I gotcha.
