People Are Anonymously Sharing Secrets From Their Jobs That They Aren't Supposed To Share In A Viral Online Thread

The $1000 ashtray for submarines (seriously). Admiral came on Johnny Carson and showed Johnny the ashtray. Looked normal. Admiral reaches under his chair, grabs a hammer, and smacks the ashtray as hard as he can. It breaks into 3 pieces. He then tells Johnny that that is the spec - to break into no more than 3 pieces. Can you imagine glass pieces on the floor of the submarine. Need to know the whole story.

This reminds me of the $1000 dollar hammer that NASA bought that everyone was up in arms about. The media left the impression that it was a normal hammer. If they'd told the whole story people would understand why it cost so much. I was at a power plant being built and there was a bolt that had a thread about 10" in diameter that was about 30" long. That thing probably weighed over 1,000 lbs and cost thousands as well. But the media would report it as, "Florida tax payer paid $2,100 each for 400 bolts." without giving any context.

I'm a massage therapist and the biggest secret is stretching if you stretch properly you will get rid of effectively 90% of the problems but no one is taught how to stretch properly The best stretches are actually the stretches you learn in middle school hold still count to 10 take deep deep breaths move on. I'm not going to lie this post has blow up a lot more than I expected and I'm just going to give a guess a little more information. The whole point of stretching is to do the opposite motion of what the muscle does whenever it's in use and the whole point of stretching is also to alleviate pain and bring circulation to the area and regulate the muscles basic systems. So here's the basic rule if you hurt somewhere do not stretch that place find the opposite muscle in the opposite movement and stretch THAT ONE. The way the body works is kind of like a giant game of tug-of-war muscle actually controls the movement of bone and helps with your posture , no one has perfect posture though. so stretching make sure that nobody wins the tug of war and that your bones remain in place is close to perfect posture as possible, which means that your bones and ligaments don't take any damage from gravity or any other force that affects your body during your daily life. I will not lie however if you do have injuries like if you broken or torn or dislocated or separated something that pain will never go away it will dissipate and it will get to a lower level in which your body will be able to tolerate on a daily basis but it will never go away The body can never correct something that's been broken. this should help you be able to search your own stretches online but apparently I need to make a YouTube channel. just thinking opposites if you're back hurts look for stretches for your front like in your chest in your core if the front of your legs hurts you need to stretch the back of your legs if the front of your arms hurt stretch the back of your arms just do the complete opposite of wherever you hurt and start stretching that area and you should notice pretty quickly that it's tighter when you stretch the side that does not hurt then versus when you stretch the side that does.. if I make a YouTube channel I'll make the post here somewhere in the comments so people can find it good luck!
