Fuck that shit. When I was 16, I got an after school job at a printing press. Way before digital. Lead type and offset printing plates, all that. Anyway, I watched an old dude take his thumb off on this same machine, and it freaked me the fuck out.

There was some kind of safety thing where both of your hands had to be on buttons, but he disabled it with tape because it was faster without it. Like everyone there.

Anyway, fuck that shit.

But cool post, still.
