How the gently caress does it not break off on the quick-release thingy? Does it not have a quick-release thingy?

The quick release was in the base of the pump.

Make sure you breathe all over your fans. That will help your long terms sales if you kill a few of them off.

I like the person in orange who comes over to see what's going on and just goes "yeah this is unsalvageable" and tosses an extra wad of cotton in for the hell of it.

Funnily enough the bit he tosses on the pile doesn't burn.

Cotton doesnt burn very well. Its why a lot of fire retardant clothing is 100% cotton sprayed with a chemical.

Looks like the fuzzy fuzz (technical term) of the cotton burning off, that's why it spreads quickly but just smoulders afterwards.

Fun fact: if a cotton bale catches fire, it cannot be extinguished by water as it is too tightly packed for the water to penetrate.
And they can smoulder internally for weeks before bursting into flames.

So, kerosene is used to extinguish it.


One assumes that they use a very different colour for those extinguishers, to prevent confusion with the standard ones....

Cotton doesn't burn very well. The fuzzy unprocessed stuff will burn because of the high surface area. Its like how steel wool will burn even tho steel doesn't burn very well.

The same poo poo happens around here with silage in the summer. If it gets hot enough and sunny enough for long enough, the energy imparted into the silage during the day doesn't fully clear at night and builds and builds until it gets hot enough to fully ignite.

Never heard of using kerosene though. Around here the usual plan is to clear away anything that could cause the fire to spread and ...well, just sorta ignore the problem until it goes away

Because they can say they ARE wearing masks and there's no law that says what kind of mask you have to wear because it totally messes up with your oxygen intake therefore...

100% performative demonstation.
"WELL I'M WEARING A MASK LIKE I'M SUPPOSED TO, SO gently caress OFF."

People following the letter of the law instead of the spirit, because they're pedantic shitheels.
To solve that you basically have to designa exactly which kinds of masks are allowed/demanded, and that's just too much effort for politicians to bother with.
