kid sinister posted:Why is it hard to move? They're on wheels You joke, but honestly even on wheels, moving those fuckers just a few inches took some effort. And moving them was enough of a pain in the rear end that the thought of moving them along with everything else I own just made me wanna die. It's funny, it's one of those projects that seems easy until you start doing it, and then you've made 75 trips up and down the basement stairs and out to the truck with arms full of trays, and the bed of your truck is giant mess of trays that spit out screws every time you hit a bump, and your girlfriend is telling you that she's not gonna help unload these ridiculous things that she doesn't even understand why you need when you get home, and then you're like, poo poo, is this one of those cases where she's right?

A case of ziplock bags, a sharpie, and a bunch of flat rate boxes from the post office is the best answer. Empty bin into bag, sharpie label on it, toss into box, repeat. Easy to move, easy to label, and easy to unfuck once you're at your destination. It worked really well for me when I had to move my dad's collection of fasteners across the country.

See I was thinking just use that thick movers' plastic wrap and just double-wrap those bins tightly one at a time, toss them into a bigger box. Then just cut open the wrap when you get there. Bet you could comfortably wrap those at a rate of 2 bins a minute

They all horded fasteners of all kinds, apparently my grandfather once dismantled a piano and kept every screw, so may flatheads. Well, fasteners are expensive. I keep all the nails from the pallets I pull apart. The ones in decent nick, anyway.

Also, lift gates are the devil for moving the contents of a home. Ramps for life. As for Ziploc bags, and individually wrapped trays, and flat rate boxes - You guys officially are more dedicated to screws than me. Ultimately though, there was gonna be no room for the beasts in the new garage, and the basement is finished and far too refined for my sawdust and spider web covered screw racks. The time I spent with them will always be treasured, but some love is fleeting.

It's so close to genius except they stumbled at the very last stretch of the race. That should be hand sanitizer instead of soap.

Hospitals in my area keep having horrible outbreaks of extremely preventable things because staff don't wash their hands, even surgeries resulting in infections because doctors, specially surgeons, seem to think they're above washing their hands or bothering with sterilization. Just dump some antibiotics on them, cheaper than hiring proper cleaning staff or wasting famous surgeon's time on scrubbing properly before an operation. I'm mad about dirty doctors!

I think its more due to the privatization of cleaning services and their costcutting measures with staff and supplies, combined with overcrowding, than surgeons suddenly deciding to ignore hundreds of years of standard medical practice and refusing to sterilize before procedures.

Isn't is all the non-hand stuff like pens and doorknobs and stethoscopes? Shouldn't the whole building be filled with those blue lights dentists use to sterilize tools? What happens if you put a living animal into that little light box?

I like telling this story: Dillbag posted:A co-worker was told a scary OSHA story by Guillermo Del Toro about filming Blade 2 in the Czech Republic. They stumbled across a bunch of what were described as "rad looking post-war era lamps" somewhere, bought them and set them up in the location (I think it was for the blood bank scene that opens the film). Half way through the day, the cast and crew's eyes started swelling and tearing up and no one could figure out what was going on so they shut down the set thinking they had a gas leak or an airborne contamination. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet_germicidal_irradiation posted:In UVGI systems the lamps are shielded or are in environments that limit exposure, such as a closed water tank or closed air circulation system, often with interlocks that automatically shut off the UV lamps if the system is opened for access by human beings. You can see the lights here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D16E17zkdjM

Were I work we have those UV systems for pool water cleaning, more like an add-on to the usual filtration stuff though, but it can reduce usage of chlorine by like 70%.
