@vitalis I worked in industrial automation development for many years and had seen extremely stupid people sometimes. once I was testing a huge machine, running track at 7 m/s, 10 kWt power. heavy steel rollers. and I was working in arplugs, because it was very noisy machinery. I was debugging some things in electronics and the track was running at full speed. and at some moment I turn back and see that some idiot stands near the machine, bending over it and his necktie hangs in cemtimeters from the running steel rollers. 10 kWt sy 7 mpeters per second, man, that would rip his head off with his tie just in seconds. damn! I was really indignant: who the fuck are you, get out of here! it turned out they brought in a delegation of some idiots from local city authorities and those idiots were roaming around the building and one got into the test room while I was busy with debug and didn't see him. if I didn't notice his presence and we could see his brains (if he had any) on the ceiling. that's not a joke that's serious powerful hardware. so I totally understand such plaques.
