It really is, the average time loss injury in our company is usually upwards of 30k down the drain. And just an accident can be catastrophic in terms of cost as well.
I work in the LTL freight industry, if we go 30 days without an accident or an injury we get a free BBQ day with unlimited food for everyone. We're talking burgers, hotdogs, chilli, chowder, chips, drinks, etc. Sometimes they even do catering. Our last one they did Hawaiian Food for 2 days (they got too much) which definitely made everyone happy.
I've been there for almost 10 years, we average about 2 per year.
Edit to clarify: 2 BBQs per year. We're really good as getting hurt.
Off to a rocky start but the week is looking like it's going to shape up pretty good.
Started a much needed server migration, it's started out pretty rough with having to change the number of drives and forgetting I had to mask the 3v pins on the hard drives before hooking them up or the wouldn't power on.
I'm currently on day 3 of the migration and I'm hoping to finish it by Wednesday.
Update: My server is back up but a portion of my network is down (whole 3D printing corner is down) and will hopefully be operational by Sunday.
I hike a lot‡ and yeah soggy socks suck but the level of suckitude isn't high enough to overshadow the bliss of a rainy hike. But that's living in the PNW, you either hike in the rain or get used to not hiking for 4 - 6 months out of the year.
‡ I've had a fairly tame year in terms of hiking, I've only done about 350 miles since January. I should be able to pass 400 before New Years if the chaos of the year levels out a bit but given we're heading into the holidays, I'm not going to hold my breath.
There's a special bliss from camping in the rain, hiking in the rain, and just standing in the rain.
It's hard to capture the feeling in words really but I'll give it a try.
The calming drops dancing their frigid feet on your skin as you spread your arms and turn your face to the sky, washing away your worries with each cold step on your eyelids. The drumming of the rain on the canopy above sauntering into your body, shifting it to the rhythm. Calming bliss flows through your body from the top of your head to the soles of your feet. You are there, right then, alive.
Hell just making it so after 3 failed attempts it can't be retried for an hour would have made your efforts take over 7000 hours rather than 5 minutes.
People will watch the videos, report the segments that are sponser slots, and then when people watch the video they can upvote or downvote the accuracy of the report.
In stream ads would be a hard one to tackle because YouTube would likely inject them randomly into the stream to boost engagement (readas, prevent people skipping them easily).
Oh absolutely, but it does do something that I'm not sure people realize: it normalizes the idea of a government agent holding the keys to all of your stuff.

A BBQ compared to that is nothing.
