No, i mean not wearing PPE while spraying pesticides. Most of them wear gloves. Maybe long sleeve shirt/pants. Respirator/masks are very rare. Permethrin is not well absorbed through skin anyway (0.5-1%). But easily absorbed by

That's easy - lyme disease. If you read the studies you linked, it even shows this very clearly. The first study is talking about constant occupational exposure. By people not wearing basic PPE, over the course of many many years. I

Agreed It reminds me very heavily of being on woodworking forums as ever more mass automation happened, and the infinite arguments around whether using power tools/CNC/etc was still "real woodworking". Lots of previously

Sure, but COFF and its variations are much less practically common in Unixes (ie ignoring PE) In any case, it’s highly doubtful being different from ELF is offering real value to anyone at this point, it’s just nobody wants to spend time, m

Picardin is based on the chemical that makes black pepper spicy, which is why it does that if you get it your eyes or mouth. DEET is a toluene derivative which is why it is super effective at melting plastics and doesn’t evaporate quickly I

I always found DEET interesting because it is a toluene derivative, which is why it is remarkably effective at destroying plastics and such, in addition to being a repellant. Yet people spray it with abandon and then wonder what melted th

#1 is a bluff. It would be really hard to drag it out and judges hate that. You are much more likely to end up paying the costs of the little guy as sanctions than bankrupting them or whatever. This is also straightforward enough and enoug

Sure it can. So can Vitamin C though. The overall point remains the same: the toxicity, both short and long term, of MMA, is comparable to lots of everyday substances that are both commonly eaten and inhaled. It just isn't that toxic

by DannyBee 4mo ago
MMA is not very toxic. It has the same LD50 as vitamin C. Table salt and baking soda are twice as toxic as MMA, for example. Additionally it is almost certainly not in vapor form at 100 degrees. In sunlight it will also polymerize to a s

So MMA has a fairly high autoignition temperature - it's >815F (gasoline is like 475F). It also has a fairly small explosive concentration range (2-12%). (the inhibitors it gets mixed with are about the same autoignition temperature

This is true in other cases but in this case they are actually hoping it leaks

"How many taxi drivers got stuck?" is the actual comparison." I would bet a lot of money the number here is also >1.

MMA (this stuff) hardens when exposed to sunlight. The tank and valves are outdoors. I would not be surprised to learn that is why the pipes/valves/etc are "gummed up" (to use the term from the article) - people who to

The standard choice for MMA processing is actually stainless steel, because carbon steel/iron/etc scavenge the inhibitor used to prevent thermal runaway. HDPE would work, and often how it is transported in drums, but for actual pr

It's fairly customary for folks who can afford it. So, there are two issues: 1. The grid is now pretty unreliable. Georgia Power overall is a great company to work with (compared to say PG&E), but power quality has dropped out the

According to the timeline the account was suspended for 18 minutes total. That is fast enough that it could have simply been a bug in a Google rollout or something that made something think it was suspended when it wasn’t really. If it was

You have to realize why something like antigravity exists. There are two usual ways it occurs: 1. Political fights internal to the company resulting in incoherent strategy and products. HN assumes this is almost always the case, and but i

It's actually now at least 400 per tb. The 64's are 25k, up from 6k a year ago. I have to imagine the 128's or 256's are at least 500/tb

by DannyBee 5mo ago
The 64's and 128's could be bought, and were not even totally unreasonable, price wise, at intro (IE <100/tb). Concretely: a 64TB was like 6000 bucks last year. You could get them easily. It's now 25,000 for the sa

I mean, everything's my fault - it was overall my org, so it doesn't matter who did it in the org. That's the job :) As for Eclipse, you are correct that at one time it had tons of users, but eclipse was dying very quickly

While i agree for the most part, they can only cut the middle man so many times before they get themselves in antitrust trouble. I suspect that will happen faster than they'd like, because regulators (at least outside the US) are not i
