Have you ever fapped when in your crane with nothing else to do?

I notice around my area there is two types of cranes
one of those yellow cranes (like the one in your pictures usually)
and there are the ones that have like a tilting arm (pictured below)
can you tell me what are the adavatages and dis advatages between them?
also I notice there are giant blocks of cement behind the control room
why are they there for?
I am guessing it is like a counterweight but I have much doubt about that guess of mine

Ask a crane operator.

by the way how high is a crane?

It is currently 300 feet and will be close to 600 feet tall by the end of the job.

Not at all.

If you knew the answer to that you'd literally shit your pants. Besides, it's none of your business.

The ones with a "tilting arm" are called luffers. The major advantage of that crane is it's ability to shorten its radius by booming its jib up. Thereby affording it clearance to swing in tight quarters.
Which is why it is seen mostly in major cities when building adjacent to an existing skyscraper.

You guessed right. They are counterweights and nothing more.

Silly question but... are you scared of heights? Has it ever bothered you when there's a strong wind and you rock backwards and forwards?
I ask because just looking at that picture I had to turn away... I'm shit scared of heights.

But if you put a gun to my head I'd have to say a shitter flipping upside down the second I brought it off of the building and all of its contents (one week worth of mexican diarrhea,, blood, cum etc) spilling 35 stories onto unsuspecting poor bastards, lol.

Well were the fuck does the blood come from?

I was nervous walking out to the tip of the jib (long yellow thingy sticking straight out) to inspect and grease the tip.

You walk out on that thing?

HOLY SHIT.

Firefighters put it out?
It would have to be very intense to be of any issue to me or the integrity of the tower.

Not at all man. I've had people come up there that havew been scared shitless and got over there fear after a couple of hours and I've had people that became catatonic on the way up while climbing the ladder.

I'm figuring that you belong to the latter group.

I hate noise man. Just the sound of someone calling me from another room drives me nuts due to people calling me on the radio all damn day long for picks.
