Is that a loving Cambro pan? I've never seen those outside of foodservice in my life.

I never realized how wrongly I washed my hands until I worked at Subway and the Safeway deli.

Re: dish chat, see foodservice mention above. Between those two shitholes, lack of PPE, and piping hot water, my hands were a red, swollen, cracked, bleeding mess. Something about the soaps and sanitizers just reacted really poorly with me. All that worked was Eucerin, and only slightly; and since then, it's always resurged if I try to hand-wash dishes at home. We have one dishpan and let stuff soak, which I rinse (if necessary) and load into the dishwasher after dinner to run during the night.

I discovered that shortening makes a passable cold cream the last time I had a job like this.

If you touch your weiner when you piss, you should probably wash your hands first. Your hands have been touching all manner of surfaces and maybe people and animals and whatnot and they're filthy from the get-go.

Similarly, people who worry about the door handle on the way out of the restroom have it backwards. The handle on the way in has been touched by a lot of people who haven't washed their hands yet (and a lot who need to), and now you're gonna directly provide a vector from that surface to your genitalia?

But really actually we're a cleanliness-obsessed society and we're suffering enormous blowback in many ways for being way too worried about germs.

Good point that everyone is nasty before they even take a poo poo.

Considering that for most people handwashing is a ceremonial wave of their hands under cold water, I'll keep using the paper towel to open the out door. I'm pretty into not touching any surfaces in public restrooms unless I have to, so I open the door with an elbow or forearm if I can, grab a piece of TP for the stall latch (opening and closing), and avoid the hand dryers that may as well have poo poo crusted to their insides. It's not hard.

We don't need to disinfect our assholes and have antibacterial everything, we just need to be practical about handwashing and surfaces.

"Tiny Trains"

The other day I was in a restaurant and their motion activated paper towel thing was being triggered by any movement within a couple meters so there was just a huge mound of paper towels on the floor stringing out of the dispenser.

Also I often manage to get soap on my sleeve because the stupid motion activate soap dispenser (why????) gets set off and sprays me while I'm trying to actually properly wash my hands in the stupid motion activated sink. I hate that poo poo. When it all works it's ok, but they very very often don't.

Those things have switches for adjusting sensitivity and the length of towel it dispenses per activation. You've apparently been running across dispensers set to "I loving hate my boss" mode.

The biggest hygeine problem in the UK (probably all of western world) is people not washing their hands before eating. Noone I know every washes their hands before eating lunch food, or even before eating in a fancy restaurant.

Asian countries (Malaysia at least) have it right; A sink with soap and paper towels, right in the open in many cafes, so you can wash your hands before eating, without having to go into a gross bathroom.

Well, maybe mobile phones are up there for hygeine problems too.

Everyone here who works in the warehouse who washes their hands at all in the toilet (:bahgawd:) washes their hands before and after. A few dudes also wash their feet with the bidette if they fart but I think that's a religious or cultural thing since I don't think anyone's farts are powerful enough to soil their toes :shrug:

How much concrete is too much concrete? Turns out it's 2000 pounds.

Evacuations ordered as concrete slab threatens to fall from construction site

SAN FRANCISCO (KTVU/BCN) - Fire officials are evacuating five buildings this afternoon in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood where a 2,000-pound concrete slab is at risk of falling from the 30th floor of a building under construction.

The slab is on the 30th floor of a construction site at 41 Tehama St., fire officials said on Twitter at 2:54 p.m.

Fire officials are now evacuating that site and four nearby sites including 543 Howard St. and 44, 56 and 58 Tehama St.

San Francisco Fire Department PIO Jonathan Baxter updated the situation at 4:00 p.m. and said the unoccupied building suffered a wall failure on the top floor as the wall was being constructed.

He added that a crane attached to the top of the roof is cantilevered on the compromised wall.

Construction workers have been evacuated. Fire officials said there are no injuries to civilians or fire department staff.

Officials are awaiting information from structural engineers on how to remedy the situation safely.

San Francisco Department of Emergency Management officials are warning people to avoid the area between Howard, Folsom, First and Second streets.

The project at 41 Tehama St. is a 37-story, 403-unit luxury residential tower near the Transbay Transit Center site. Construction began in 2015, according to a 2015 statement from development and construction management firm Lend Lease.

Adding anything at all to tea just ruins the flavour and makes it taste like water with whatever you added heavily diluted. If you brew tea properly, even cheap stuff, it should be sweet on its own.
And yet you ruin perfectly good black tea by adding bergamot.

Is he sawing through the hardwood floor AND the subfloor? And still set the plunge deep enough to hit a pipe. You gotta *work* at incompetence like that.

E: one more. Why would he be *sawiing* the hardwood anyway (assuming he's replacing it).

My guess: first he set his blade depth correctly to go through the floor, over on the right. Next he set his blade depth a lot deeper, so he could notch the joists in prep to lay something (probably a pip). Finally, he started to cut another plank, and then discovered he hadn't reset his blade depth, the very very hard way.

Maybe he was trying to cut a trap door for his movie dungeon.

The OSHA thread has made me very wary of enclosed spaces. But this has two 4 inch pipes and a bathroom exhaust fan, I'm sure it will be fine.

If I had money and property with a hill, I'd totally have a hobbit hole guest house installed.

But none of this totally underground stuff, needs a door and windows.
