Razor bumps can now get you kicked out of the marines. Black men will likely suffer the most

I meant without... Though I doubt you spent much time in it. What was your mos again...? Never answered that. I'm guessing based on the fact that you're non Lemmy it wasn't infantry..... I'm guessing you were on a computer most of the time.
Reduction in effectiveness does not mean failure you dolt.
Lol, again ignoring the part where you claimed that razor bumps affected seals.....you aren't arguing in good faith. You are also making conclur not made by the original source.
Lol..... With chemical weapons?
My claim was that facial hair has little to do with a good seal, and that facial shape and brand has more to do with it.
Your argument is that it's facial hair not, so the brand doesn't do anything to support you argument.
And the argument is about facial hair.... Remember? I like how you constantly they to redirect the argument away from your original claim... really helpful.
Honestly surprised your arguing with some with a degree in chemistry when your only experience was probably in basic training. You deal with a lot of Sarin attacks in the 4 years of doing IT for the army?
At this point we're getting nowhere... When you say shit like "With chemical weapons?"... Yes we're talking about literal war... where soldiers are the ones following these policies. This is literally the primary place chemical weapons are used as far as all of known recorded history.
OSHA, ANSI, all branches of DOD and the study agree with me... You can argue whatever you want, I'm disengaging.
OSHA paragraph (g)(1) of 29 CFR 1910.134 ANSI Z88.10
You basically admitted to breaking OSHA rules though. So congrats!
Lol, you really have issues with reading comprehension..... OSHA doesn't care as long as it does not impede function of the seal. You determine the fit of the seal by doing a fit test. If you do a fit test and pass, it's not impeding the seal.
"The Respiratory Protection standard, paragraph 29 CFR 1910.134(g)(1)(i)(A), states that respirators shall not be worn when facial hair comes between the sealing surface of the facepiece and the face or that interferes with valve function. Facial hair is allowed as long as it does not protrude under the respirator seal, or extend far enough to interfere with the device's valve function. Short mustaches, sideburns, and small goatees that are neatly trimmed so that no hair compromises the seal of the respirator usually do not present a hazard and, therefore, do not violate paragraph 1910.134(g)(1)(i)."
Yes, and in war chemical weapons aren't exactly known for their deep strike capabilities. Chemicals are hard to disperse accurately and in significant quantities, especially from far away.
You're claiming chemical weapons are usually used to attack deep behind enemy lines?......source for that? Again, besides your supposed "service" that made you an expert in respirators.
Lol that razor bumps impede the seals on respirators....? hilarious that you haven't engaged with that rebuttal a single time despite it being my first correction.
Judging by the way you interpreted that last paper, I don't feel confident you're really capable of having an educated opinion. So I think it's best you disengage.
though I think you're really disengaging because I'm on the money about your time in the military. Still haven't replied about your mos......
Literally /noOSHAcompliance
Incredible.
Also thanks for your in point comments and detailed explanations, you have not been pedantic at all. Also correcting your comments? what a sight!
Don't take it personal
People inside Lemmy tend to over react with name calling and what not when their supposed knowledge about how the world works is threatened
They lash out in ignorance
Thanks for your service o7
Eh one person being crazy isn't personal... I get there's crazies out there.
It's all good... Just wild that someone can in one breath claim there's reading comprehension issues then in the next sentence quote the regulation that proves them wrong thinking they're right...
It's scary that people like them are touching chemicals (according to them). Literally just now...
Then quotes "respirators shall not be worn when facial hair comes between the sealing surface of the facepiece and the face" and completely misses the fact that ANY amount of hair would come between the sealing surface and the face... This is the inside of the mask, the red is the areas that touch/seal against your face... The entire chin/cheek area would be touching hair.
I'm actually just disappointed in myself that it took me so long to realize that the discussion just wasn't going to go anywhere...
It's funny because Canada ALSO looked into the same stuff... and apparently came to the same conclusion that something else has to be used to get a sufficient seal. But Noooo! I must be wrong!

Their answer was to just add an entire fucking hood to create a snug fit around the neck... Not sure I'm a fan of that... But even in this video some of those beards are pretty short.
