Little Things You Hate

• 0.2%: Confusion, feeling dazed, and disorientation are common. Standing and walking may require help, as balance and muscle control will have deteriorated a lot. Sensations of pain will change, so if you fall and seriously hurt yourself, you may not notice, and you are less likely to do anything about it. Nausea and vomiting are likely to occur, and the gag reflex will be impaired, which could cause choking or aspirating on vomit. Blackouts begin at this BAC, so you may participate in events that you don’t remember.
• 0.25%: All physical, mental, emotional, and sensory processing functions are impaired. You will feel numb on many levels, and you are at a high risk of choking on vomit, falling and severely hurting yourself, or killing yourself unintentionally.
• 0.3%: Stupor may set in, which is the brain essentially shutting down. It’s like passing out but you appear to be awake; however, you will be unresponsive to nearly all stimuli. There will be very little recognition or understanding of people or places around you if you remember anything.
• 0.35%: The level of impairment at this BAC is on a level similar to that achieved via surgical anesthesia. You are very likely to pass out, and you may stop breathing.
• 0.4% and over: This level may put you in a coma or cause sudden death because your heart or breathing will suddenly stop.

The article said he blew 0.362% and that was after he had "tried to sleep it off"...

Alcoholic. Shifts that whole scale a long way up.

It's quite amazing once you look at what the numbers mean. You have to be a seasoned drinker to even move once you get past 0.35% really....

Wiki with the goods but I'm certain these are the exception rather than the norm. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_alcohol_content

Highest recorded blood alcohol level/content
There have been reported cases of blood alcohol content higher than 1%:

• In 1982, a 24-year-old woman was admitted to the UCLA emergency room with a serum alcohol content of 1.51%, corresponding to a BAC of 1.33%. She was alert and oriented to person and place.[52] Serum alcohol concentration is not equal to nor calculated in the same way as blood alcohol content.[53]
• In 1984, a 30-year-old man survived a blood alcohol concentration of 1.5% after vigorous medical intervention that included dialysis and intravenous therapy with fructose.[54]
• In 1995, a man from Rzeszów, Poland, caused a car accident near his hometown. He had a blood alcohol content of 1.48% ; he was tested five times but all results were the same. He died a few days later of injuries from the accident.[55]
• In 2004, an unidentified Taiwanese woman died of alcohol intoxication after immersion for twelve hours in a bathtub filled with 40% ethanol. Her blood alcohol content was 1.35%. It was believed that she had immersed herself as a response to the SARS epidemic.[56]
• In South Africa, a man driving a Mercedes-Benz Vito light van containing 15 sheep allegedly stolen from nearby farms was arrested on December 22, 2010, near Queenstown in Eastern Cape. His blood had an alcohol content of 1.6%. Also in the vehicle were five boys and a woman, who were also arrested.[57]
• On 26 October 2012, a man from Gmina Olszewo-Borki, Poland, who died in a car accident, recorded a blood alcohol content of 2.23%; however, the blood sample was collected from a wound and thus possibly contaminated.[55]
• On 26 July 2013 a 40-year-old man from Alfredówka, Poland, was found by Municipal Police Patrol from Nowa Dęba lying in the ditch along the road in Tarnowska Wola. At the hospital, it was recorded that the man had a blood alcohol content of 1.374%. The man survived.[58][59]

Fuck I hate it when heroes you look up to turn out to be bottom feeding scum suckers. Worst of mine was Bob Brozman, who was clearly the greatest live guitarist I have ever seen. Hard to listen to his music now when the reasons for his suicide have become clear.

Off to google and...well fuck me that's terrible news. I knew about the suicide, not the reason that prompted it. He was a great live performer and musician. Time for more musical deletions.

People still seem to like Peter Brock, even though he was a wife-basher. Thats just a person weak as piss.

Yeah, growing up in a rev-head household he was a childhood hero. But when I heard about his treatment of women - face-palm. Good riddance ya chunt.

... but when it endangers others through actions like jumping behind the wheel, then its harder to disentangle a lapse of judgement from character.

It is his true character.

Poland and Eastern Europe in general are great drinking nations.
Everyone brews and distills their own. Always offering toasts of rocket fuel from 10 am.
Not much traffic esp rural areas , you could get away with murder.

I find Bali is the same, it really depends where you are. Where we live is Arak Central where its brewed for supply to places like Jakarta, so the people are always pretty off tap except for temple days.
Drunk Australians in Bali on the other hand

LTIH, office politics.

We have a pretty relaxed atmosphere at work were it can get crazy busy but we also get the opposing lulls, so everyone is left to their own devices during the lulls, you can use the time to do maintenance/r&d/clean up/generally fark about.

Long story short, I'm quiet at work going though one of these lulls and think I'll have a tinker about the place and try something new, one of the machines is dormant and the operator has zero interest in trying anything new, I jump on and have a bit of a play and it manages to create a bit of interest about the place.

We come back from the Fri pub lunch and said operator blows up *(like proper angry) about me cutting his grass and making him look bad. I want to treat him the same as everyone else in the place but when he's more interested in his phone instead of finding out what the tools available to him are capable of I struggle to have any sympathy. Two of the directors have given me tasks so I tried to include him and he said it's a waste of time and just go to Ikea... he's totally missing the point that the machine he uses is not limited to cutting squares out of acrylic/comp/MDF

* he's been invited numerous times to lunch with us but he always declines and goes to the local bowlo where it's been rumoured he does his wage in an hour on the pokies.

Sounds like a top bloke with a long future in that company ahead of him.

My tactic would be to keep making him look bad, especially if your bosses let you have free time like that!

At my workplace there's various levels of intelligence, but at least we're all engaged in the task at hand

I'm guessing he got his one small nut stuck in your new chair hence the rage!

 

[nzhumpy]

He has been argumentative every Friday since (espacially post lunch) <<<<day dot so he hasn't got a kiwifruit pinched in a chair made 2 days ago .

All good fucking him off now now but when we start cranking up we need Goldilocks onboard ( he does work well if you spoon feed him work, not too little not too much) but it's time like this to try shit out and he'd rather spend 7 hours on FB/Insta whatever.

Anyone want to learn the ins and out of CNC router, location Inner West Syd...must like mtbs, and beer, no dickheads.

Fuck yes!

The 48 hour ride to work each day might make it a bit tricky tho

 

[nzhumpy]

Yup

Yup, we're in a bit of a niche market and clients love our stuff and keep coming back...that also may have something to do with the r&d during down times.

I don't care what actual hours you actually work as long as stuff gets done, just put in a solid 40 and bring in a duvet and only commute once.

We are just around the corner from Batch...you need to able lift a schooner, can't do that with a busted finger.

Edit: and we have proper hills, not mountains but just hills but it would great for your training purposes.

Ah, I know where you work. Bought a growler the day Batch opened.

I hear the pizza place is gone.
