Last time I was at a hospital, they had hand sanitizer dispensers at every entrance to an office.

I did the hand sanitizer thing because it was implied as the polite thing to do and more importantly it was easy.

E: I had just gotten done washing my hands/wrists in the bathroom.

The final layer of HMI can have less rigor if its connected to a system doing the actual controlling that you can separately estop or tell it to stop listening to that HMI device. Its like saying an off the shelf mouse is inappropriate because someone might spill their Big Gulp on it and it will click the blow up button.

e. I seem to recall Nissan wired up a car to be controlled by a PS3 controller as a Gran Turismo promo but I can't find anything about it because they apparently wired up a crossover to be a PS4 controller to play soccer

Kind of the opposite, but the deluxe Ridge Racer arcade machine from years ago came with a real Mazda MX5 car to control it.

Also, CDC reports came out around when hand sanitizer use was getting big (prompted by the 2009 swine flu pandemic) showing that the 40% etoh solutions weren't particularly effective while the 63% ones were. That's why you only see the 63% ones around these days.

I don't use hand sanitizer because it doesn't make my hands feel clean, which is the most important part.

Aren't you supposed to wear gloves while welding? This is one of the pictures that scrolls by on the autobody website I'm taking my car to for repairs. I mean it's no holding the hot part of the soldering iron to repair a motherboard, but it seems a little high on the UV scale for my taste.

when you have a kid one of the safety recommendations is to cap your water heater at like 120 degrees. i'll roll the dice and get water so hot it steams out of my faucet, it's pretty handy

While it's not hot enough to kill bacteria, the warm water helps remove bacteria by removing dirt/oil that the bacteria thrive in.

I don't have any in my classroom. Instead, I have a gang sink with six faucets and plenty of soap. If we need etoh, I have a supply of isopropanol. Not the same, but reasonably effective at 91%.

If you get a tankless water heater, they generally cap out at 120-130*F by design. Saves you over-heating the water when you're about to cool it down with a cold-water mix. I usually do my dishes with straight hot water now since it's just at the edge of uncomfortable.

[ASK] me about OS/2 Warp
On the flip side, the small size of RV water heaters means that your SOP is to run them hot and then mix with cold water at the tap. That way you get longer runtime at your shower temp.

We have a dual fuel heater, the propane side has a 65c thermostat, stock. then we have an electric one that has a separate thermostat, set as low as it'll go which is 55C.

Gotta be pretty careful, but it allows for nice long showers out of a six gallon tank.

I've got a tankless at work that is skin-blisteringly hot. I'm pretty sure it's more like 175F.

The biggest waste with warm water is that all buildings aren't fitted with a sun-heated system that could easily provide more than half of the hot water used in it during Summer (or about 100% if you're in an area where it's always sunny during Summer).

The problem I have is with a central heater, there's a warmup time depending on the length of the piping. (if you're in an apartment complex and take hot showers at odd hours, this can be agonizingly long, like several minutes).

With those local heaters, you get water at the maximum temperature in seconds. That's not a problem as long as the maximum temperature isn't set too high. Where I'm at, on some of these you turn the faucet and it blasts burning hot water.

I'm going to ask about turning the temperature setting down on them.

My institute just considers them "low-lift trucks" or something like that and teaches them as one of several varieties of forklift, along with rough-terrain forklifts (both vertical mast and boom-mounted lifts) and "industrial" forklifts, which are what most people picture when told to think of a forklift.

Dorks on facebook get really mad apparently when you tell them they shouldn't be testing an octcopter with 15" props in your hotel room, while holding onto the landing gear, and bringing your friend in to record it and share with your buds on the official DJI group. One went as so far as to look me up on linkedin and try to argue that not having several years experience in high end aerial photography means I can't talk about the dangers of giant carbon props spinning 18 inches over someones head because they're too lazy to remove props or test their motor orientation in a safer location with some sandbags
