There's a whole field of industry for gas detection, whether it be for the presence of toxic or explosive gas, or the absence of healthy breathing air. It's an easily mitigated problem. If the detector on the wall goes below 20% o2, an alarm sounds, circulation fans turn on, and everyone leaves the room.

This place is full of straight up brainwashed communists. I guess the whole free and decentralized thing kind of lends itself towards that crowd, but these people are fucking insane.

Ok I'm not even from the states, but you should be able to get to Washington DC in less than a day from North Carolina. Hell, anywhere on the east coast is within 5 hours from a huge metropolitan centre

What did they say like 76 percent of the population has had one strain or another of covid?

Even if masks are totally effective, all you're going to effectively do is delay the inevitable. You will catch this; it's only a matter of time. I choose to get it over with.

What do you do for a living? For many, wearing a mask while working is a recipe for guaranteed heat exhaustion. I'm not subjecting myself to that, and if the illness is anything at all like the last time I had it, it was a goddamn cold.

Wearing a mask in a hospital full of people with compromised health and all sorts of contagions floating around is a really good idea.

Wearing a mask outdoors in the summer time on a construction site full of other able-bodied people is just fucking silly.

I just find that screwdriver to be the most pretentiously bad product. Still a product that's half as good as something from Klein or wiha, or Milwaukee, or Greenlee, for three times the price. He put all that money into a designing a cheap but overpriced Chinese piece of junk, when there are already great screwdrivers used by professionals for years and years. Linus was so arrogant he didn't even think that somebody's already made a superior product with established tooling. But no, he has to reinvent the wheel and design a screwdriver nobody's asked for

Normally, I'd agree with you, but in a matter of life or death, like baking in a hot car, the means of exit should be obvious for anyone, including children and the elderly. Just like in public buildings with proper exit signage, there should be no questioning how to get the fuck out in an emergency.

So imagine for a moment that this is a child and not a senior. You gonna scream at little Timmy for not RTFM?

Car doors have been pretty standard and self explanatory for 100 years, until now. There was no good reason to make such a huge design change for the sake of looking cool, especially when the override is hidden behind a piece of trim.

The workers would rather work for tips. You can hide a lot of income if your wage is primarily cash.

Fuck the service industry as a whole
