Yeah I’ve got one too. They’re certainly nicer, but the thing that worries me is while the braided cable is a little more durable they’ve taken away the strain relief.

(That said these usb-c ones look like they have strain relief, so maybe?)

You can bet your left nut that braiding will do precisely zero for durability. No way they want to eat into their cable profits.

Basically the only reason to collect that level of ID if you’re not a bank is so you can fulfil anti-money laundering requirements necessary to allow trading of some commodity, or currency.

I wanted to play it but even at $5 I don’t think I can justify giving them money after what they did to Mick Gordon.

Perhaps 2nd hand.

But if you don’t glove up and scratch your face, your fingers are contaminated too.

I mean yeah same, but shoving a fistful of cheese onto a slice of bread 4000 times? Not quite the same!

Gloves and mills/lathes are totally a bad combo I agree - if shit gets caught you can easily lose an appendage. But that’s not really a hygiene issue.

I get the contamination risk, but again not really a hygiene issue.

Is there truth to the statement that no gloves can be more sanitary?

Yeah but… remove your gloves before leaving shop floor, put on gloves when entering shop floor is much easier to enforce than “did you wash your hands” - you can catch them blue handed (or not blue handed, as the case may be).

How so?

True. Chef in a restaurant? No problem.

But expecting minimum wage workers doing mindnumbing factory work to do that perfectly every time and never cut corners without significant oversight seems… unlikely.

Also let’s think about why they’re not wearing gloves. Do you think it’s for any reason other than cost cutting?

Nothing mores appetising than ham being described as a “log”
