It's a safety procedure: if equipment is faulty, you lock the controls with a special device to render it unusable until it is serviced, and a tag accompanies the lock to show when the service call was placed. If locking is impossible, just the tag will suffice.

Very similar experience in 2012ish, definitely had a rough time of it. That's when I learned I have a deadly allergy to penicillin.

You're definitely thinking of T1, or health class and the Internet lied to me all my life. Come to think of it...

But for sure you can get T2 from making unhealthy choices with sugar consumption.

This is a top tier meme format for music communities. Making me need to dive into more game OSTs.

If anyone is on the hunt for good ones, Brad Derrick did some incredible work for Elder Scrolls Online. It's all fantasy sounds, but an excellent source of ambience for the TTRPG player. A two album set for the base game, and an album for each expansion. It's some 10 hours of solid work!

I'm a department manager where I work, so not very high on the ladder, but I run a 14 person team. That being said, I get where you're coming from. I'd never try to be my employee's friend, though I am most certainly friendly. I might grab a beer with one or two of them every now and again (usually on me, as why not?)

It's a hard line to tow, as I'd like to think of myself as a pretty agreeable person that wants to connect with people, and I've done that to an extent with my team. It has made certain work facets difficult though, especially "behavioral notices" and the like.

Ah yes, I too value the mastery of the Thu'um in my partner.

Ah, so even the "landed gentry" made the migration... /s

Thanks for the solid source! I do understand the need for keeping the discussion real, but the article clearly states,

...concluded that to avert catastrophic health impacts and prevent millions of climate change-related deaths...

Sounds pretty existential to me, at a scale we have never experienced.

While your numbers, if factual (no source posted), are statistically correct (in that it won't make our species go extinct), you have to remember a simple fact: those numbers represent individual human lives. Family, friends, neighbors, your pizza guy, etc. Pretty brutal to be so flippant about.

Also, this doesn't take into account the potential for cascading environmental system failures that could be caused by such warming. These unknowns could greatly change the equation.

I realize you are mainly arguing the point in response to "existential threats" being bandied about, but it's a weird stance to take here.

Honest truth, you go around actually paying a network for their services and everyone loses their minds. There's a Nolan Batman GIF somewhere here...

Fair enough, I just don't have a frame of easy reference for standard, as it seems many don't for imperial.

Fahrenheit, as opposed to Celsius. Pretty mild day, 26 C for those across the pond.
