The FIRST cleanup was half-assed completed in Jan 2018, fixed it for them

Yeah, I guess they’ll be going back in and tearing the place apart to remediate. My spouse is a geologist and works for a cleanup firm (mostly Navy bases, which as you can imagine are crazy contaminated) and hexachrome is one of the worst things she has had to deal with. As you can see it gives the water a nice Mountain Dew look.

IDK why we're sending it to heavenly bodies when the vast emptiness of space is a much broader target.

Yeah, what we should be doing is using Earth's velocity as a catapult to launch the spent fuel into deep space. Too much work to make it go into the Sun.

There is totally some OSHA in here - the last dude wearing open toed shoes. None of them are wearing boots at all anyway (should they be wearing steel toed boots around forklifts/heavy pallets etc.? I would think so)

I'm not a fire extinguisher professional or anything but I have heard of ABC classes for fires, I thought that was pretty common:

I was like this till I drove something with actually useful cruise control.

You want to talk about not driving tired, radar cruise control takes a huge load off your driving calculus brain centers. Massive difference in how I feel after a long days drive. Non cruise brain needs to think about : what pedal position for my cruise speed, what pedal position when car in front get closer, what pedal position to pass or clear dangerous drivers, is car in front getting closer, am I able to pass yet etc. Radar cruise control is just set it and occasionally give it some gas to pass or brake for congestion. You're still driving the whole time so those latter events aren't going to surprise you. In fact with your pedal calculus brain freed from figuring out control inputs you have that much more brain capacity for defensive cataloguing the cars around you.

I have a 2022 Honda Accord with Honda's adaptive cruise control/lane changing tech. I really wanted a new car with ACC after driving some rentals, it's so much nicer than regular cruise control especially for interstates and long trips. You still have to steer and pay attention to the road, of course, but losing the cognitive load of managing the accelerator is great. I drove from MD to AR a few months ago and it was super useful for exactly this reason. It's a 2-day drive and ACC made it immensely more comfortable. I've found ACC to be pretty useful in DC Beltway stop-and-go traffic too. I have found that I would brake sooner than the ACC would, but I've let it do its thing and it's ended up fine.

Lane assist though, I'm not a fan of. Sometimes you need to ride the line for one reason or another. The Accord has both passive and active and I don't use either.

I became a gowning instructor because I got a $1500 bonus every quarter for having 1000+ plates and <5 micro recoveries of non-questionable organisms.

My best buddy was consistently getting TNTC (too numerous to count) ACTIONS and getting banned from the core, it's not a job for sweaty motherfuckers.

Don't touch anything touching the floor in an active class 1 can't be stressed enough. A camera will see it, it will get caught by someone, and it is a one-way ticket to being escorted off the premises. The company I worked for was a CMO, so internal quality, customer quality, and maybe some reg agencies of the countries where the product is going to be sold are going to do QA video review. Someone will see it.

What is plating, and why is the floor bad? I can't make it out from the context.
