Calm the fuck down. This wasn't a "Russian lathe accident" situation. We were trained professionals, and never left the machines unattended in an unsafe state. There were no injuries and only that one close call (which IIRC was traced back to a faulty e-stop button).

We never fell victim to complacency and I am quite proud of that.

What gave you that idea? Your failure to sense the sarcasm?

Russians claim it was shot down by a Ukrainian Su-25... a close air support ground attack aircraft with no air-to-air capabilities.

"And don't you feel guilty about that one third?" - the 10%

Let's not forget the legend himself.

Sometimes for maintenance, sometimes because manual intervention was necessary. The machines where we did this were built in the 90s and have been in near constant operation. Moving parts are worn out and the tolerances are gone. Replacement parts are difficult to find and expensive to manufacture, so if something more complex than a ball bearing or axle got out of alignment, we had to pound it back into place (sometimes literally).

I personally never bypassed the interlock, I wasn't paid enough to take on that responsibility. I would just file a downtime notice and call the on-site mechanic when needed. I didn't give a shit about reduced output.

We used to routinely disable safety interlocks on production machines. A guy almost got decapitated once while performing maintenance.

Not leaving per se, but even now, there's a disinformation campaign targeted at citizens to resist Ukraine's EU accession, pushed through every media outlet owned by his cronies, from billboards to televisions. I don't think even Orbán is stupid enough to reject EU funding, close agricultural exports, and give up his influence. It's the worst kind of status quo, where everyone loses.

If you can, don't live on the wrong side of history. It's bad for the health.

From a completely selfish perspective, that is exactly my greatest fear. Hungary needs the EU to protect it and its people from its own government, and the EU needs to retain some influence to avoid having a second Belarus.

of course "we" had to be involvedf, I fucking hate this fucking country.

That's wishful thinking. Users don't give a shit as long as the problem goes away without having to lift a finger.

They have a half-assed solution without a problem. The next logical step is to create a problem.
