Finally some action in your bank account that is similar to mine 

[tenpenny]

Speaking of bank accounts, I was just depositing a cheque into my Simplii account using my phone.  Cheque was for $38.04, a dividend cheque (ie, all printed by machine).  Got a system message saying, ‘our system detects this cheque is for $30,000.00, you have entered $38.04.  Do you wish to deposit $38.04?’

I admit, I was tempted for a moment, to see what would happen.

I didn't know that Chinook winds and Santa Ana winds were the same process.

So that's a no?

(hopefully everyone understands I was kidding...if anyone would think I'd seriously consider it...well...
)

I say go for it...maybe you'll get a nice exit package

Well, while it would be ironically funny, and some might get a laugh out of it... it would still be inappropriate, much like it was when that jackass did it back in the 2000's.  And I definitely wouldn't have thought you were seriously considering it... but thanks for the laugh this morning

Also, can I refuse to work near the carbon black equipment at work as I might get covered in it and inadvertently become a racist?   (I have looked like that when things went wrong before)

What kind of machines?

We have CNC carbon cutting machines at work.

Nothing fun like that.   Carbon black is a major ingredient in rubber, it's basically soot.
We pneumatically convey it from trucks to silos to smaller feeder bins at the top of the rubber mixers, you can dump 200-300lbs of carbon black into a 800lb batch of rubber and mix and heat it to 300 degrees F within a couple of minutes.

It gets everywhere, it puffs out of the mixer occasionally, leaks from busted filters spray it like a powdery black fog eventually settling on every surface,   If you get a drop on your nose, you will immediately find it itchy and spread it all over your face.

Equipment kinda like this, but different:

Interesting.

Our carbon cutters run at 60,000RPM.  There's a vacuum system that thankfully sucks up the powder.  Despite that, you lean on anything near the machine and it's all over you.

We also use a robot to load the "carbons" (it's actually blocks of carbon graphite) onto the machine.

Never seen anything so dirty as black carbon in a tire plant , it gets everywhere

Train Derailment in Winnipeg.  It happened on a bridge over one of our busiest highways (Lagimodiere).  They closed the highway in both directions.  Traffic in the area is FUBARED. 
And because it's a derailment, could take a while before it's cleaned up.  Luckily it all appeared to be grain cars, so no dangerous goods.
