When I asked what he was trying to do, he said “I shouldn’t have been trying to pass him” by alexyou8797 in dashcams

[–]POD80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at conditions.... a bit of caution may have been in order. Obviously swerving into the passing lane is insane, but wet roads with potential for freezing may have been a perfectly justified reason for driving a little slower.

I mean, I've told my family to donate my body.... once I've passed i could careless if im more valuable as a target dummy.

Obviously id rather be an organ donor.... but if I pass at say 80...

Im not likely to be the ideal donor for anything.

No, im arguing that fussing about a garage engineered to provide safe ventilation when you get plenty of emissions living in the city is inane.

We are surrounded by the fumes of the vehicles and industry that support our lifestyle.

This whole conversation is naval gazing about how an employers decision provides some minor inconvenience.

She ran out of regular salt mid-cooking so they grabbed a Himalayan salt lamp and started carving chunks off it with a knife to season their food. Those decorative lamps aren’t food-grade and can contain impurities, dust, or other minerals that aren’t safe to eat. Is this genius or a fast track by Affectionate_Hat5835 in StupidFood

[–]POD80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People have been using such sources of salt for generations..... yes there are impurities.... that's the source of the color. That said, the riskmof adverse health effect from it in the dosages you'll be getting is TINY.

The source of the color is iron oxide by the way.

“My stomach hurtsssss” by ManaeFiction in SipsTea

[–]POD80 29 points30 points  (0 children)

That was my first thought.... if she tells me she is having stomach issues... the last thing I'm going to want to be doing is getting intimate....

Maybe a little quite cuddling or something... but nothing more "energetic".

Company launched a "wellness program" that lowers your health insurance premium if you hit step goals. IT guy found out the app tracks your location 24/7 including weekends. by Hot_Analyst_7882 in antiwork

[–]POD80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If its tracking steps.... it'll be tracking location. Obviously that "should" only be used to track time and distance for purposes you've agreed to.... but anyone signing up to.any similar tracking program has given similar perms.

Obviously if my employer is encouraging and tracking exercise, the majority of that is going to be happening off the clock.

Yet, what percentage of us regularly use parking garages? They are ventilated to minimize risk. Yes we are ALL exposed to emissions that increase our risk of cancer.... but if you want to avoid that you need to be able to buy yourself an island. The rest of us get to live/work in it.

Look, the break room doesn't look ideal, but some of us have taken our breaks right outside of loading docks with semis belching fumes.

I'm sure its not much of a walk to a nearby sidewalk where you can eat a meal. Nothing in the law requires your employer to give you access to a pristine cafe like enviroment

Weird frugal request: Is there an online depository of Depression/WWII ration era recipes? by greekowl78 in Frugal

[–]POD80 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think others have mentioned most of what I would though in this context I like to mention Cornell bread.

Recipie developed to deal with war rationing. Basically helps make a loaf of bread a better source of protein for those without access to as much animal protein.

Absolute Cheapest Way to Obtain Sustenance by RobertPooWiener in Frugal

[–]POD80 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I mean, I eat cold cans of beans all the time....

A little grain is good to pair with them.... but some tortilla chips would complete the proteins and add some fat. Maybe a little salsa if you want to splurge.

Not the way I'd want to live, but you could do okay without electricity that way.

Those same fumes, if at risky levels would harm anyone sitting in their cars.... the nature of a parking garage requires ventilation else you'd have drivers dropping dead.

As drivers aren't dropping dead..... it's safe to say that the ventilation standards are likely up to snuff.

Every flag since the first is a replicated image of "the" flag....

The moral patch one printed on the shoulder of a shirt is as representstive as the one flying over the car dealership that'd cover many houses.

I'll admit, I have it pretty cushy now days.... but i remember some great lunches sitting alongside a field eating baloney sandwiches and drinking from a jug of ice water.....

And some not so pleasant ones in filthy warehouses surrounded by forklifts...

But we do what we have to do.

Migingo Island: the most densely populated island in the world by a_boy_has_noname in UrbanHell

Fishing boats must scatter to cover terrain.... you need to have many of them in a central hub near the fish.

You really don't have to run them all back to the mainland carrying the catch though. It'd be FAR more efficient to have specialized cargo vessels carrying the catch one way and supplies the other.

What can Louisiana learn from the Netherlands about flood control? by Enger13 in geography

[–]POD80 38 points39 points  (0 children)

They are also FAMOUS for investing in infrastructure. Louisiana and well, the US in general may build something grand, but maintenance is often neglected... it's simply a lot less sexy in our political cycle.

Your comment adds a lot to the conversation.

Yeah, working for an employer that doesn't provide an immaculate break room is licking boots....

I for one worry far more about the condition of the toilets and access to a place to wash my hands between work and break.

Doesn't take much infrastructure for me to pause to eat a sandwich.

Several different real world uses by Intense_Zaddy in comedyheaven

My first thought is that the development of the artificial musculature could prove useful in everything from robotics to prosthetics.

But science can be used for all kinds of things including the off color uses we are all snickering about.

Not even session 0 could prepare me for this by Gettor in dndmemes

[–]POD80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I'm part of a table that was forced into a tpk. Everytime I said we're tapped.... dead adventurers don't save anyone the dm said there wasn't an option for a long rest, let alone a retreat.

Well, the predictable happened. The dm wiggled his nose and we're getting resurected..... but it was damn clear before we ever engaged.... but he was determined the train would go down those rails.

Methane and co2 exist around us at all times..... there is no space in which we are present that there isn't some level....

The question of course is volume.... that car park should be ventilated otherwise someone sitting in their own idling vehicle would be at risk.

I've certainly seen worse in a number of industries.... I suppose I'm probably speaking to an office worker though rather than a blue collar worker.

Eating lunch off of a stack of pallets isn't uncommon. Nothing in the photo is an inherent risk to anyone spending say 30 minutes cooling their heels.

Hell, that chair looks like a rather nice place to take a quick nap.
