WTF images for today MK II

[dark seraph]

not so WTF to start with, but if we look at it from the other side....



So, if you see an odd  placement of box's in the stock room, check to see if a lazy worker is in them napping.

[Black Aeronaut]

Hell, I'd tell him that he's in the wrong industry and the he should check if Jim Henson's Creature Shop or somesuch is hiring.

[Ankhani]

So, I got shown an article about how people in Second Life create Avatars that do (or don't) mimic their appearance, using this photo as an example:

Those of you that play City of Heroes will notice someone Did Not Do The Research.
(Bonus points if you can name the locations where they took the shot!)

I've never played an MMO, but I've seen enough screen captures (mostly on these boards) to recognise those as CoX characters/environments. 8P

Even I know that if your even contemplating doing what happened below, to finish it properly, with some duct tape or perhaps even a socket


"BOSS!! The Scroll-monster's back!"

[CattyNebulart]

That can't be good for the chainsaw tracktor. What is it used for anyway? (presumably not cutting up cars, though I can see the appeal when driving through rush hour traffic)
E: "Did they... did they just endorse the combination of the JSDF and US Army by showing them as two lesbian lolicons moving in together and holding hands and talking about how 'intimate' they were?"
B: "Have you forgotten so soon? They're phasing out Don't Ask, Don't Tell."

[Sweno]

my guess would be industrial logging or demolition

I believe they call that sort of arrangement a "ditch witch", and use it for making places to install pipes and cables in the ground. Some can chew through asphalt, smaller ones are only for soil/gravel.

I'm more impressed by the effort put into staging the spiderman pic, myself.

- CD

ETA: Ditch-Witch is an actual brand name. Yay Google! Anyway, think of it as an "entrenching power tool."

It's a power tool for cutting fiber optic, copper, and gas lines in half. Also occasionally electric lines, which is always entertaining.

I love the possum, just sitting there as if to say. "So?"

[dark seraph]

Happy St Patty's day!

Yeah. You've seen one sentai tranformation scene, you've seen them all. (Unless you happen to find yourself in a grimdark deconstruction anime. Then all bets are off, and you shouldn't watch the transformation sequence on a full stomach.)

[ECSNorway]

Indeed, Eb.

Take, for example, Kampfer. It -appears-, as far as we the viewers can see, to go for minimalist transformations -- flash of light, done.

Then you notice that the magical-animal-mascots are plushies of disemboweled cute little animals...

Yet another there's something wrong here but I've yet to see it.

The daisy-chained surge protectors should be your first clue. (And I know jack and $#!+ about servers.)

in decreasing order of horribleness:

1) servers acting as load bearing supports for the servers above them

2) servers (in fact the same ones as in #1) without their tops, and what appears to be cables plugged into their internals (we have external ports for a reason people)

3) power cords under physical load

4) horrible cable management

and someone please tell me that the front most power strip (that got really washed out by the flash), has it's lead running into the floor. And that it's plug hasn't been cut off and wires jury rigged into something else?

0) Servers running off line current instead of the rack's power supply. (If I see anything like that in tomorrow's safety inspection, I'll be filing a report to the appropriate group's superior...)

Not to mention the head-of-knuckle photobombing in the small visible space on the right side of the rack;  staring at the audience with effronty equivalent to the fictional Bartholomew Bandy as if suddenly expecting a burst of lavish praise for his server management skills.
