The guy says it's sludge from their parts wash machine, so it's probably some kind of slurry of oils, hydraulic fluids, sealants, heavy metals and so on from whatever parts they're making, combined with whatever solvent/acid they're using to clean parts. The label on the drum, Hocut 759-H, is just a mineral-oil based cutting fluid.

Its always funny when people say not to worry about bees/wasps because they only act defensively. The first time I was stung by a bee I was sitting in a parked car playing my gameboy and a bee flew in and stung my eyelid. The second time I was sleeping on my porch and I felt something land on my foot. I looked down and saw a bee. After about 5 seconds of harmlessly walking around my foot it stung me. gently caress bees. They will sting you for no reason.

I've never been stung by a live bee. Only dead bees floating in pools.

I have a kill on sight policy inside my house (since even if they're harmless, that's one less that can reproduce) for everything but lizards, mosquito hawks, and those cute tiny jumping spiders.

Baronjutter posted:Yeah I grew up in a place with lots of harmless snakes, no one really feared or demonized them. We'd catch them and play with them (warning they'll poo poo their panic stink defense fluid on you) and they were nice and smooth and fun to pet once they calmed down. Growing up in rural-ish Texas, I learned the hallmarks of A Snake You Don't gently caress With at a very young age. (Protip: triangular head or red touching yellow = bad. Valid only for North America; Aussies/South Asians, just assume any snake is out to get you.) Hyperlynx posted:Probably not, after all the things that eat mosquitoes, mosquito eggs and mosquito larvae die out as a result, then all the things that eat them, then all the things that eat them etc. So, what, dragonflies (the larvae eat mosquito larvae and the adults eat adult mosquitoes)? Anything that eats dragonflies can learn to eat other bug that eat less offensive things. Hell, dragonflies could probably find something else to eat. Overall, a positive. Or a complete collapse of the ecosystem in which the dragonflies and the small birds/bats/dragonflies/etc wipe out their alternate prey species due to eating more of them rather than mosquitoes, which apparently scientists don't think will happen. Or, worst case, the dragonflies/bats/etc. evolve to feed on mammals (hell, the bats are partially there already) and we just end up with much larger, cuter mosquito-equivalents. OTOH, we could just wear full-face helmets and Kevlar clothing and carry a tennis racket around if we needed to swat those.

Mosquitoes are a goddamn keystone species. It sucks for us but it's a fact. Considering how many food chains they are part of, that's one domino I'd be wary of tipping.

On-topic: when I was a kid, my dad took me to worth with him sometimes when school was out and my retired grandparents were unavailable, because gently caress paying a babysitter. He was the "service manager" at an HVAC shop owned by his older brother with his younger brother as the field tech. So dad mostly worked in the shop building ducting for his lil' bro to install. Sure, let a 7-year-old have the run of the sheetmetal fabrication shop, nothing bad can possibly result from this! Luckily I was more interested in the IBM Selectric in the front office, at least until I was old enough to understand the dangers of using the shop machinery to build things with the scrap bits of metal. Actual OSHA: the ceiling of the shop was rather low, and of course they built their own ceiling fans by hanging the fans from scrapped condenser units from the ceiling. Dad is not tall, and he once walked into one. Cut a good half-inch into the bill of his baseball cap. If Dad hadn't habitually worn a ballcap (he was bald even then, and wore it to protect against scalp sunburn), he probably would have at best needed stitches and at worst got an accidental lobotomy -- they also did commercial work, so some of their ceiling fans had some serious horsepower behind them.

They just fly around, seemingly oblivious to their surroundings, and don't do anything at all. The worst thing they can possibly do is leave a corpse, usually near your A/C vent.
