Do y'all like these "4K" Photos? ๐
(It's Guangzhou City btw... pretty sure I used to walked around here as a kid before we emigrated)
Those kids in the second to last picture should really be wearing helmets while riding their invisible skateboards.
They're soaping, bro
I remember I kinds did some "parkour" on the ledge... (just walking on the ledge there not really "parkour" but its more fun to think of it as parkour lol)... Like you see that wheelchair ramp thing? I remember like just hopping over the barrier and on to the stairs and the back on the other side... kinda scary to think the on the other side of it is like a very high drop... ๐ซฃ
Oh we used to play with these "Skateboards" in the plaza around the area... (still played this a bit when we were in Brooklyn NYC during the first few years when I was like 8-12, then just grew out of it... felt childish to me)
Also safety? Pffff my dad literally just turned off an electric circuit then proceeded to TOUCH THE WIRES without gloves to fix something...
Like what if the circuit switch failed? Where are the precautions? Do electritions do this? (He did not have a license in electricity stuff)
I was like: Aaaahhh dad don't die and leave me alone on this mortal realm... ๐ฅบ
Luckily nothing happened
Also: OSHA is not a thing in China.
On a related note: My old apartment building would not meet western safety standards...
Depends on how long they've been an electrician, sometimes they're in the game too long and get complacent. You're supposed to check it with a multimeter first though, if you want to be safe. If you don't want to be safe take a shower first, don't dry off, and bite on a wet sponge while you do it lmao.
There are special measuring tools to check it the power is really turned off after you flip a switch.
So no, electricians (who get to retire) do not do this! You check the tool before and after every check as well!
