#shake hands with danger

[foone]

I want to make a mod for Outer Wilds where every time you die due to an obvious player error, like getting out of your ship without putting on a space suit, it plays the Shake Hands With Danger bass line.

I was ridiculously overtired yesterday - and my stupid brain slammed two random things together and produced this.

So

Yeah

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is the equivelent of 1950's educational videos to the Ferengi. Basically shake hands with danger "what did they do wrong" kind of viewing.

On October 25, 2014, Ciao! Manhattan and Shake Hands with Danger were screened on TCM Underground.

For the love of god don't die in my labs, there's a lot of paperwork if you do. is one hell of a sentence. It made me laugh quite a bit. I'm not that familiar with University and professional labs, is it a common occurrence that machines say they're done while they are not really?

heyo, anon!

So my uni lab was a high-volume lab, meaning we were running undergrad, postgrad and doctoral thesis projects simultaneously. Between glassware, autoclaving our powdered agar suspensions with deionised distilled water to make sterile agar suspensions and media and the lab techs sterilising equipment for first year labs and demos, our autoclaves were going near constantly.

What happens with the autoclaves is that they beep once to tell you that the cycle is finished, and again to tell you that the autoclave has depressurised and is safe to open.

Because we weren’t just running the autoclave and we’re doing other tasks concurrently, it wasn’t all that hard to forget which beep you were on, and if it was the first beep, you ran the risk of opening a pressurised autoclave and getting a face full of ~90c steam at about 6atmos, which would, at best, their degree burn you to hell and back.

(The autoclave has lights on the top indicating which part of the cycle it’s on, but you can’t control for user error, and 40 harried undergrads who haven’t been in a lab for two years on account of The Rona doing their thesis project are like. the poster demographic for user error.)

To forestall us from reducing our faces and/or extremities to a homogenate with the texture of chunky marinara, our prof made us confirm with the lab techs — absolute rockstars who had been working alongside the university professors researching COVID and keeping the research teams on other projects afloat throughout the acute phase of the pandemic — who have had years of experience using autoclaves under time pressure and at speed, that we were on the ‘safe to open’ part of the cycle before opening the autoclave with every use.

Probably just so he didn’t get pulled away from his agar plates for a major incident review, but it’s the thought that counts! 😂

Shake Hands with Danger but Submas

Just coming in with a quick aside but I can see Emmet and Ingo making a train safety video in the same vein as this glorious safety classic:

Warnings: moderately graphic injuries, re: an incident with a power sander and another guy loses a hand but nothing too gory

You will never get that guitar jingle out of your head. Ever.

[arueshalaetablebuildingsociety]

even when you're not on them, they're still looking for ways to kill you

nearly had a medical emergency today because - and i cannot stress enough how little i am making this up - a helicopter landed in front of an open grain silo while i was getting off my ship and i am deathly allergic to the wheat that said helicopters rotor blades proceeded to blast in my face at full force. the cosmic forces are plotting against me ass situation to be in

If you ever wanted a jingle to play whenever your about to do something stupid, PLEASE watch watch “Shake Hands With Danger”.

I’ll absolutely admit that it is very “country-esque”, but it still manages to be both both over-the-top funny, down to earth, and would probably kill you just to prove why you should never let your judgement lapse, ever!

Kind of glad the CG animation didn't last long.
