The obvious one is an enclosure or latches door to prevent accidental falls. They might be wearing fall protection that we can't see but I doubt it.

There's a good chance nobody ever fell from one of these but those regulations exist for a reason.

Maybe less obvious is fail-safes for any elevator system so if the brakes fail it doesn't freefall into the ground.

I went to Chicago air and water show this year. Blue angels did a low pass and it was deafening. Couldn't imagine being that close

Sorta. CBM is cubic meters and the entire world uses feet for shipping containers. For Intl logistics CBM and kg are the standard for volume and weight but they get loaded into containers measured in feet.

You'll see similar stuff in other industries. Machining a lot of measurements are in mm but tolerances in "mils" or 1/1000 of an inch. Or medical where volume is in mL or drams.

When it comes to distance though I only really know miles.

For context 28 CBM is about the volume of a 20' container.

Or a stacked pallet is about 1.8 CBM so about 15 standard height pallets.

If anyone has any tips on how to cope with this lmk. I'm medicated but still an ineffective human 70% of the time. Life is hard I'm tired.

Cis dude here, the only way is to have an understanding friend help. There are ways to do it yourself but it's such a pain and takes forever.

In the long term, laser hair removal. It takes multiple sessions but it's cheaper than it used to be.
