TVs Ian posted:I mean, something like these industrial ones seems to make sense if you don't have a lot of horizontal room for stairs but don't want to use a ladder. The industrial ones also have a handrail, which those wacky wedge stairs don't. Edit: have a floating glass staircase with wedge shaped steps and no hand rail. I think that's some kind of lovely stair bingo there.

I'm imagining navigating those down in the dark with some sort of emergency (fire alarm, whatever) underway and I cannot see an outcome which doesn't involve me ending up face first and bleeding at the bottom with multiple severe injuries.

Lime Tonics posted:how to fix this? Naegleria is weird. It's not an obligate parasite so it's presence doesn't automatically indicate public infection problems are imminent - the environmental factors that cause it to become parasitic are numereous and not super well understood. It can only enter the brain from soft nasal passages so swallowing it is harmless. "abundance of caution" and whatnot. Y'know, because it's like 90% fatal if you are infected.

Naegleria fowleri is the name of the amoeba, but yes. To the best of my understanding there has only been one neti pot related infection, and it was someone on well water not city (though I could be mis-remembering), you should always boil and cool to temp neti pot water. It's mostly from swimming in tepid lakes, little moving streams, and improperly sanitized pools (which is what made the whitewater rafting infection so bizarre)

This isn't OSHA but a few people asked how the US wound up with its health insurance market. The Sawbones podcast went into the history of health insurance in the US. It's 50 minutes long, it's disheartening, and healthcare chat can continue in the Healthcare Reform Megathread: Can I sell my organs to pay this hospital bill?.

They went too fast for a photo, but imagine this: about 3-5 sheets of plywood on the roof of a little corolla car, no straps or rope to tie it down. Only the driver's and front passenger's hands coming out of the window to hold it in place. God speed you idiots.

Maybe because of tax/regulatory reasons, like how the company that makes Snuggies is adamant that they are blankets (not clothing) because blankets have lower tariffs. This guy found some neat loophole.

All that sign would honestly do is make an auditor stick around the area all day inspecting every flange because you're advertising a chronic leak issue. The "proper" way is since anywhere with acid in quantity should be controlled access through operations check in, anybody not familiar with the area should find out the terroir of that day's drips and puddles by asking the operator.
