For the one at 4:39, one explanation I can think of is that maybe there was a plan to put some kind of beam or fixture in that spot, so those little boxes were left there intentionally to make sure the person responsible for putting the conduit down would know to run it clear of that spot so it wouldn't be in the way.

[@TheLexikitty]

Ahhh, that’s a good idea. Smart thinking.

[@HeroineDark]

4:42 is an easy one. The person or company responsible for the pipes had previously either been accused or actually touched something belonging to the contractor whose boxes those are (or it was between 2 people in the same company).... point being the person laying the pipe was under strict order to not touch those boxes for whatever reason, and this is just malicious compliance. "I was told to not touch the boxes, so I went around them"

[@Zod707]

It might've just been that the company responsible for the pipes was told to lay the pipes that way for some reason and the boxes were placed there by OP afterwards.

Ok, I can give an explanation for the painted over gum, penny, cockroach and occasional puzzle piece in landlord specials. Low-cost commercial painters use paint sprayers instead of rollers and aren't paid enough to care about details like removing small debris.

Sometimes it is a landlord/house flipper/ apartment maintenance etc with a roller that just doesn't care. I've seen this happen all my life, all kinds of debris in the paint and a really sloppy job.

If you have a handgun that can shoot 357mm rounds, and you shoot it, i'm pretty sure you just die from the recoil.

[@gentleman_oni]

I mean that's 1 mm bigger that the main guns on the USS Texas (BB-35). So I guess you should expect some recoil.

[@renakunisaki]

If you can lift that cannon with one hand to call it a handgun, you're probably fine.

[@Nyghtking]

@@renakunisaki I mean there are guys who can dead lift over 700 pounds, that doesn't mean they can use that weight to hit you with, just because someone could pick up the gun in the first place doesn't mean they could also handle the recoil of it firing on top of that.

​@@gentleman_oni That's approaching the size of Richelieu and Bismarck (380 mm)

So yeah, you have to be able to lift 125,920 Lbs (56,872 Kg) or be able to lift 700 Earth Lbs (320 Earth Kg), and go to a planet with 0.005559g (0.05451m/s^2) of gravity

6:24 So, funny story. I had gotten a pizza from Domino's once (yes, I know, already this is off to a good start XD), and I make a habit of checking the food that I ordered (burned one too many times - figuratively, not literally - on people getting my order wrong, I cast no blame on anyone: when you're busy or having a bad day, shit happens, I get it, it's fine, I don't make a scene, that's just silly), so I open the box and...I...don't even know how to describe what I witnessed. One slice was, like, literally just a paper-thin line, one ginormous slice akin to NY-style pizza, and, just...there was not ONE even slice. I ask politely if I could get another made because this one looked weird and the guy behind the counter says "Yeah, that happens sometimes." I couldn't hide the amusement on my face as I turn the box to him and say nothing. The look on his face was well worth it. The dude was mortified, but it quickly turned to amusement as he died laughing and asked, "Wha-...dude...how!? Who-...? I'm so sorry about that, we'll make you another one and you can keep that one for free." I was thankful, of course, because...I mean...free pizza. But he asked me if he could show it to everyone else in the shop first, and I was like "Nah, man, go right ahead." It was REALLY funny; everyone had a good laugh. I can only hope the person who made it had a good laugh, too, 'cause...I mean...you GOTTA laugh at the absurdity of the situation. It's too good not to share. Heck, had I known who it was, I'd have shared it with 'em, let 'em have the biggest slice while I get the tiniest slice. But yeah...sometimes shit happens and you just have no excuse, I get it. ;)

The guardrail one is fake, and a really poor one at that. Besides noticing a few things immediately, these are the issues I can spot within a minute: * The left side existing rail has edge blurring indicative of Content-Aware Fill used to remove the endcap from the original * The right side existing rail has a sharp line where it was overlaid on the "new rail". * The pole for the roundabout sign under the rail has a green smudge from Content-Aware Fill. * The new rail is not touching anything on the right side. * There's no bolt holding the left side of the new rail on. * The image has been blurred, then sharpened to try to remove the effects of object removal, and the image has been saved at an extremely low resolution to further hide things * The MPEG artifacts are completely different on the new rail. * The shadows are different on the new rail. I've done this type of editing and it takes a lot to get it right, but this case is ridiculously bad.

Regarding the translation into different languages. I was dealing with a packaging change on a product family sold in the EU. Every freaking EU language needs to be on there. So I was checking the proof to make sure there was no "Insert Estonian here". The device came in two separate shapes, square and oval. I notices that some nitwit had left the English label intact and copy/pasted the "oval" translations onto the square package. I'm already annoyed because I'm supposed to get this to printing tomorrow so I really scrutinize the actual translations (thanks Google translate!) and I noticed one issue before I even pasted it in. For the Greek translation, they simply transliterated "oval" into the Greek alphabet and not the actual Greek word. So this was a "not my job" inside of another "not my job." Classy.
