I didn't like that. Rope access is fun though, for those that like that kind of thing.

curtain twichers and busybodies have their place in society. i have a neighbour nearby who is a not insignificant influence on mrs norman but i know nobody is going to try my windows while i'm at work or whatever and she takes in parcels for me - admittedly probably to have a good shake of them and speculate about what's in them, but i still appreciate it. what you don't do is try to reshape society wholesale by giving those people power over others, they already have a lottery called jury service for that

Barry Foster posted:Sounds like your heart's pulling in a certain direction, Owlie It is, honestly. The idea of changing jobs is very daunting and I need to speak with them to get a read on what exactly they'll be wanting from me and what will be compensated, if they want me to drive four hours a day to remote sites and won't be paying me for it they can gently caress off. But there was talk of possibly something like a 30k per year income once trained which would be very helpful. I've never done a "normal" job where I'm not working more or less entirely independently. I don't think I've seen my current boss since before the pandemic. So a more regimented environment in terms of showing up at specific times for longer hours, is daunting, but it's hard to turn down good money when it would make so much difference. And yeah honestly it does have a draw in that I've lost count of the amount of poo poo people I've worked with, get put through by bloody managers and corporate types just expecting them to shoulder the risk all the time. If I could be on the other side of that, telling people that no, actually, you can't just piss about and put everyone at risk, that would probably be very emotionally rewarding. I already have to travel around to sites and deal with managers so I'm both generally good at it and also very much willing to tell them to go to hell if I actually have the authority and reason to do so, if they're proposing putting their workers at risk. If I can do a job that means someone, somewhere, gets to spend a few more years with their family and loved ones, or without being tied to an oxygen mask, that really does appeal to me. I've had family suffer with respiratory diseases and they're loving horrible. I've spent the last week or so trying to psych myself up to it basically. So cheers thread for confirming I at least seem to have the idea of what it entails something like correct. OwlFancier fucked around with this message at 21:28 on Feb 17, 2023 |

Any steel tank without ventilation will become an inert space with a bit of water and some time. Old water tanks and so on get people occasionally. On ships they deliberately inert spaces to stop even worse things happening, but that's only because the sea is inherently Lovecraftian.

In the continued absence of any kind of plan for reducing that from Labour, when exactly are they going to find the time to sit on this kind of panel?

The human body is remarkably unhappy in low-oxygen environments and will go from unconsciousness to irreversible brain damage to death in a remarkably short number of breaths. You'd think that as people can hold their breath for a minute or two with no ill effects, they'd equally be able to breathe in air lacking oxygen for a bit with no ill effects, but nope.

I'm convinced that reality broke in a permanent way when Gazza turned up at the Raoul Moat standoff with some beers, KFC and fishing rods. Nothing since then leads me to believe that the writers of the UK soap opera haven't been taking some very strong hallucinogens.

It's how people are always getting killed walking back into house fires. They notice the fire and correctly flee the house, then think: "actually it wasn't that bad, I'll just nip back in to grab my phone"; half an hour later, the fire brigade are dragging their corpses out. (The smoke displaces the oxygen in the air, a fact that isn't immediately apparent until demonstrated empirically.)

You'd think that as people can hold their breath for a minute or two with no ill effects, they'd equally be able to breathe in air lacking oxygen for a bit with no ill effects, but nope. That's because lungs rely on passive diffusion rather than actively moving oxygen from air to blood. If you hold your breath then oxygen levels in lung and blood run down slowly in tandem, whereas if you take a few big breaths of say nitrogen the diffusion works just as well in reverse and whatever remaining oxygen that was in your blood leaves. The part of the body which detects changes in blood gasses is your brain, which is a bit like having a smoke alarm that warns you by shooting its batteries out.
