I do this too! I’d also put in a plug for a couple sets of rubber gloves (color coded e.g. bathroom, kitchen) - my hands are already torn up from other stuff and this keeps them safe/pain-free from cleaners and less dried/cracked.

I thought that’s why it’s called a “brrrr” - it really shivers your timbers

Idk that sounds like an excellent time to kick him- far more efficient than when he’s up

I had a friend who had a strip club go in at street level below their apartment (a somewhat odd zoning decision in a mostly residential/commercial area.) Was kind of funny though - they ended up being close with the bouncers who really liked their little dog, and they had enough of a relationship with the DJ that they could text if the music/bass was too loud (they did first/swing shifts) while the club adjusted to the new environment. They were a union organizer though, so I was impressed, but not surprised, they could find common ground.

To be fair - the US isn’t just failing to update infrastructure, but to educate future labor in such a way that’s capable of even maintaining/rehabilitating infrastructure to a lasting state, and instead investing in technology with a short term gain for investors 😎

It’s me, the bear with a large black nose and bushy eyebrows - smashing up a chocolate bar to decorate this freshly frosted cake I made for my internet friends

For sure- I only know them from seeing them in shops lol. In the two percent I’m not in the office, I’m in the “why are we even wearing hard hats, anything on this site will kill you” field 😆

I can’t recall specifically, but I believe it was more subtle; along the line of doing momentum computations to be input via punch card (maybe more recent than punch cards, but I believe it was in the late 70s/early 80s).

Good to know. Thanks for clarifying my post! I’ve not used one myself, and assumed they’d offer a greater degree of protection than that, esp vs a baton or deflecting something like a rubber bullet.

Lmao. This is too real. Was talking with an older colleague who was doing her phd in physics, and working at honeywell on a project she learned was helping develop targeting for cluster bombs. So she quit that and got into studying sediment transport. Insidious is such an understatement for the military industrial complex.

Putting in a plug for “bump caps” and “bump cap inserts” as a low profile method of head protection. Not as protective but it’ll distribute the impact

Retraction - go with something more protective when the pigs are out for blood.

Fr though- wealth inequality; mythicization of regional differences pitting the proletariat against one another under false pretenses; cameras everywhere/expansive police state (including technology we surely don’t know of yet); predatory, electronic buy-now-pay-later; development of technology for the express purpose of spying on/advertising to/dividing/alienating/pacifying the proletariat/reddit; declines in reading comprehension/critical analysis/thought terminating declarations that any person one disagrees with is a “bot/putin/china”; vr porn/ai chatbots as a solution to alienation; lack of clean drinking water/air in major cities and massive public health disparities based on class differences; widespread virtual gambling; companies predictably selling genetic data people paid them to take; commodification of every aspect of modern life/encouragement of predation on one’s neighbor via forms of landlording; shit-tier techno solutions (eg e-scooters) for private profit instead of structural solutions (eg transit); rolling blackouts which primarily affect poor neighborhoods; ceos crashing their planes into people’s homes; expansion of mercenary/private police forces; books (primarily nonfiction) being treated like a mythical source of “old” knowledge one needs an advanced degree to understand; neon signs (😍 on the last one)
