elevator

I've seen this kind of fuckery at my workplace. Scary.
- If this is in the US, I feel like it would be a violation of OSHA. Or maybe it's something so stupid that OSHA never thought to make it a rule.
  
  Oh I'm positive its an OSHA violation,but it got fixed after a while. A stopgap till the right switch/part arrived. In recent times,at least. In the past however,this would stay till safety came through and made them do it right. And this is a billion dollar company too. Blows my mind.
  
  Has to be a country where 3 phase AC is uncommon. So US.
  
  Or building codes, something.
  
  We've got an elevator at work that is... less than reliable. To reset the elevator is a giant breaker BUT sometimes it's not the mechanics in the elevator but the control board. To reset that board is just a GFI. Also the lights in the elevator are a different light switch in the same closet.
But now all I want to do is turn off the light switch.

I crave the chaos.
Comments in my code be like:
- #The following code does nothing, but if removed the whole program crashes
  
  -Me, circa 2011
  
  Have you found what it does?
- Just don't comment your code. Problem solved.
  
  Coincidentally today I am wearing my /* No Comment */ shirt xD
That's some dwarf fortress level shit
If I saw this, I would have no faith in the elevator and would just hoof it up however many flights. Not fair to the disabled though...
- Yeah its probably a prank or nonsense, but Im still taking the stairs.
- I love how Loki Season 02 introduced me to the wonderful word or phrase "hoof it" and now when I inevitably see it online its Mobius voice in my head saying it.
  
  Haha. It's a cowboy term, as far as I'm aware...
C/funny would be so much more active if this stuff was posted there instead of dumped here as more no-effort crap.

Quit with the shitty non-meme posts.
- c/lostLemming needs to happen if it hasn’t already.
- Does c/funny exist? What's the syntax for mentioning a community again? !funny@lemmy.ml ?
  
  Yep you got it. Thank you for covering the link.
  
  That works on jerboa
Onboard the ISS: "Please do not turn off the coffee maker. It also operates the CO2 scrubbers."
Probably to get people to turn off the light when they leave. Kind of genius.
May aswell be a big red button saying "DO NOT PRESS"
- If you're going to make "as well" into one word, why not add "may", too? Mayaswell!
  
  May Aswell, who is she?
- All you fuckers who press big red buttons in weird places need to stop. They're usually emergency shutoffs for gas powered appliances. Maintenance and logistics people everywhere thank you for your service lol.
- *candy apple red button
That is actually a great idea for a fake sign to put up... 🥸
- Feels like a 200 level college psychology experiment.
You could not entice a teenaged me more.
- Teenager, nothing, Im in my 40's and I'd turn it off.
  
  Maybe they will learn about what should be paired on what circuit if it gets turned off enough.
I wouldn't want to switch off the elevator anyway
This doesn’t seem like a good solution to me. Like, even just superglueing the switch on and then covering it with duct tape would seem safer to me.
