It was -2 f last night for me at work. I was outside in the cold wind (it was windy as fuck) for 20 or so minutes at a time 4 or 5 times and about froze my fingers off each time. It was fucking miserable. Based on that alone its hard to imagine working in -67f conditions.

I don't miss being the grunt at work, luckily we never weld outdoors below 0°F because metallurgy. In this weather we'd be doing mechanical inspections, like gapping, greasing and replacing bearings on conveyors for example... things that require thin gloves & dexterity.

The prairie provinces/states are dry as a desert in the winter, so while it's cold as fuck it may feel different on the surface. That said, the wind chill (a drying effect on the surface) can still freeze a man's ear in seconds.

HOLY FUCK -67F Below. Coldest I have ever been out in, Colorado winter -40F I took my glove off for less than a minute, my hand did not regain warmth while I was outside that day.

-40F I took my glove off

I've also experienced this. It's uncanny how cold your fingers will feel when all you do is take the glove off for long enough to reach for your keys. The pins and needles feeling doesn't go away until you run them under warm water for a few minutes. In such temperatures, unless tactility is absolutely required, mitts are strongly recommended.

Also (related but unrelated) in these places, cold emergency kits require a jar of vasoline so you can cover any exposed skin to protect from the windchill.

It is no secret that they targeted an industry largely benefitting white men.

The largest company in the world used to be Exxon Mobil; now it's Apple. And if you look how the world has changed in that time, it shows why.

Any of you know roughnecks?

I know many, and they don't do this shit because of their skin color, they do it for money.

That alone is how they measure their manhood and prowess, then comes their ability to consume alcohol.

Don't be like these people.

They go into the jobs thinking it's for money but they end up spending the same amount with as normal job with the vacations and partying.

It does sound amazing at times. I talked to this one guy who said he made 150k a year but had to work six months on and then six off. Didn't sound terrible to me unless you can't manage your money. And even if you can't, just get a side gig.

[ - ] Ragnar 1 point 3 monthsJan 14, 2024 15:35:17 ago (+1/-0)

150k is not a lot anymore. Can barely provide for a family

Biggest problem is the other guys on the rig that are strung out on fent or meth.

Safety is not thought of.

Instead be like niggers. Like on a continent with an abundance of natural resources in a climate requiring little to no effort to survive. Only survive as a species do to gibs.

[ - ] Oldguynewname 0 points 3 monthsJan 14, 2024 11:57:23 ago (+1/-1)

It isnt they don't work, or the gibs aspect. It is that these guys are strong as an ox, and almost as intelligent.

They spend 90% of their money on scratchers or lotto tickets, and the other 10% on child support.

where are the niggers and muslims?

[ - ] bobdole9 2 points 3 monthsJan 14, 2024 10:02:24 ago (+2/-0)

Hope they kept short stints so they can thaw.

Wombats are okay.

Can you turn me into an echidna?

[ - ] GreenSaint 0 points 3 monthsJan 14, 2024 08:58:39 ago (+1/-1)

@rotteuxx I’ll create a whole goddamn wombat army. I’ll teach them to speak. I’ll teach them some shitty useless language like some fag language from those little nigger tribes in Australia. Bunch of fucking nigger languages from Australia. They probably hump kangaroos n shit.

[ - ] GreenSaint -1 points 3 monthsJan 14, 2024 08:55:28 ago (+1/-2)

@rotteuxx do you ever sit there and night and wish you were a wombat? I don’t. But I bet your faggot ass does. I am god. I will yurn you into a wombat any day you want.

[ - ] Rotteuxx [op] 2 points 3 monthsJan 14, 2024 09:04:26 ago (+3/-1)

You talk like a wombat, cunt.

[ - ] ShitstainTango -3 points 3 monthsJan 14, 2024 11:52:58 ago (+1/-4)

DO NOT DISPARAGE A CUNT SINCE YOU HAVE NEVER WITNESSED ONE. GAY OWLS HAVE NO STRAPONS.

THOSE MASKS WONT PROTECT YOU FROM THE AIDS YOU GOT WHEN THE GAY TRANNY HOOKER BLEW A LOAD ON YOUR BLACK AFRICAN NIGGER FACES. WHEN IT IS SO COLD OUTSIDE THAT THE SEMEN FREEZES BEFORE IT HITS YOUR FACE THE AIDS BECOMES EMPOWERED. OIL COMPANY EXECUTIVES DO NOT WEAR BLACKFACE.
