It’s even worse considering that they only have five boards. They expect at least one accident every month

I work in the LTL 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.

I wonder if that’s still cheaper, because it makes people value safety of others but also because it raises the burden to report smaller accidents and workmans comp fraud because of peer pressure.

It’s a great way to save on number boards
celia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 days ago
Not so much on board space

You can save if your lab is unsafe enough!

It bothers me it’s not in 4 bit “bytes” even though I know it’s just a convention for computers
Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 3 days ago
The four bit sections of eight bit bytes are called nibbles, you know because nibbles are small bites
xenoclast@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Ugh jeez… right. I literally always mess that up
satans_methpipe@lemmy.world 3 days ago
A byte is eight bits.
Revan343@lemmy.ca 3 days ago
That’s a matter of convention, not technical definition. A byte can be any number of bits, depending on hardware. For a while 6 bit bytes were common. RFC 791 refers to an 8 bit byte as an octet

4 bits is a nybble
xenoclast@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Yes. I am dumb.

You can do all of math in binary, it isn’t just for computers. In fact, the proof for “Russian Peasant Multiplication” was written in binary.
ziggurat@lemmy.world 3 days ago
So you can do all mathematical operations in binary, but you can’t represent all numbers in binary like 0.3, which is a repeating number, and had the same issues as a number like 1/3 in decimal where you can’t avoid rounding errors

-1 days? (or 17, without the overflow)
tetris11@lemmy.ml 3 days ago
Twos complement, so its -15 days.

Good point!

It’s telling that their counter only goes up to a month
TragicNotCute@lemmy.world 4 days ago
I love the leak in the other room. Get ready to reset the counter folks!

And the fumes being vented inside that room.

The author of this comic has a number of excellent coffee table compilations: www.tomgauld.com/comic-books-v2 (unaffiliated – I just like them :))

i like their style, very pleasant and original
MehBlah@lemmy.world 4 days ago
I totally got that without the text bubble.
cobysev@lemmy.world 4 days ago
For anyone who doesn’t want to do the conversion, that’s 17 days.
chuckleslord@lemmy.world 4 days ago
It also has a max of 31 days possible. Which has… implications.

Among many other duties I manage the safety and claims database for an outsourced industrial cleaning company and let me tell you, some of the plants my company works struggle to make it a week without an accident, meanwhile some will go years without an accident. We also have one plant which had its last accident during the Bush Administration. Its absolutely wild how much safety can vary from one industrial facility to another
Slovene@feddit.nl 4 days ago
🤔 … What implications? ಠ_ಠ
phoenixz@lemmy.ca 4 days ago
Unless it’s a signed integer, then it’s -1 and they’re expecting something…
DacoTaco@lemmy.world 3 days ago
A 5 bit long signed integer? What kind of weird system you using ? :p
computergeek125@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Only if you’re using a sign bit rather than two’s compliment (a sign bit allows for two representations of 0)
Entropywins@lemmy.world 4 days ago
Or 11 in hexadecimal
scholar@lemmy.world 4 days ago
B is 11 in hex though?

I did and I regret it
