“It’s the Democrats’ fault because they let Trump win!”

We have a big maple in our yard and more through the neighborhood. The sound of wind running through their leaves is very calming.

But my Maga coworker just told me she wants to make everything more expensive! Now I don’t know who to believe; you both sound equally sensible. /s

I always thought this one was pretty… WEIRD…

Being a kid with ADHD, all of them. Each and every service drove me to the brink of insanity. I stopped going once I was old enough to decide for myself.

“I got some great plastic surgery, the best plastic surgery. Better than the world has ever seen.”

How many more times will I see this headline this summer?

Music is probably one of their few exports to other states, so I can see why they would want to protect that.

My workplace (manufacturing) has air conditioning, technically, but it has been busted for the last two years. It regularly gets over 90 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer, and last year, we had several people pass out. Supposedly, management has signed off on getting the air conditioning repaired, but only because it has been causing machines to overheat and malfunction.

If this plan passes, it would make summer conditions inside manufacturing plants like mine safer and more bearable for workers.

My TLDR version:

If finalized, new rules announced by the Labor Department would require employers to develop a plan to prevent heat-related injuries and take proactive safety measure if employees are regularly exposed to a heat index or “feels like” temperature of 80 degrees Fahrenheit (80°F) or higher.

Job site training and a plan to acclimate new workers to hot conditions are also required if the heat index tops 80°F. If the heat index at a work site exceeds 90°F, then paid rest breaks for 15 minutes every two hours become mandatory, and employers must actively monitor for heat exhaustion.

Heat index is the “feels like” temperature relative to humidity, and employees primarily working inside air-conditioned spaces or taking brief trips outside are not subject to the proposed rules. Instead, the proposed workplace standards focus on employees who are engaged in activities that could raise their core body temperature, according to the senior administration official.

I was hoping for an actual list of jobs he is barred from in the posted link, but it’s just another dime-a-dozen article on Trump’s conviction and riddled with ads.

This strategy is called “watching your opponent shoot themself in the foot.”

I wore some of these at work for a while to listen to music, since earbuds were an OSHA safetey issue.

• They are horrible in loud environments. I had to turn them up so high thay they would vibrate, which was an unpleasent feeling.
• However, you can still hear them fine with OSHA approved earplugs, but then the music sounds all muffled.
• You can find lots of different ones on Amazon and such just by searching for bone conduction headphones, ranging from cheap to expensive.
• The ones I got cost about $20 at the time, and had an okay sound quality, but not much bass.

I leaned about these from the Soundband Kickstarter over a decade ago, whoch I backed. None of the backers ever got a product, as it seems the creators dropped the project and ran with the money. Those ones had the bone-conduction wrap around the ear. Instead of sit on the bone in front of the ear.

Edit, to add a few points:

• They were comfortable enough to wear for several hours, but the vibration got real annoying if I had to turn up the volume due to a loud environment. The band that wraps around the ears could get uncomfortable after a while.
• It didn’t irratate my skin, but vibration at loud volumes was uncomfortable.
• I wore these with glasses no problem.
• The band that wraps around wasn’t tight, but fit okay enough to not flop around while working. Not sure about for jogging or other work-outs.

Nobody _earns a billion dollars. It can only be stolen and exploited from other peoples’ labor.

I think games as a while have shifted focus from being fun to being addicting, with few exceptions. Little Big Planet and Twisted Metal were fun; Roblox wants your money. And then there’s the micro transaction hell that plagues mobile games, which seem to be most of what children play or only have access to these days.

This may be just the kind of response we need to bring about a sort of reform that prevents any MAGA style dictatorship in the present or future, but I can’t help but worry about the gun-nut trump lovers that will go out and murder anyone they _think is a democrat if this happens.

I actually saw this documentary about people with a quicksand fetish, who go out in groups and just lounge in quicksand (without the getting swallowed/dying part). They said they loved the way it felt on their skin and being enveloped by it, among other things. It wasn’t desert quicksand, but it looked kind of wet.

I think most real-life examples have been plagued by corruption to the point that they fall into a different category altogether.
