I don't have a lot of allies here, but I may pick a lefty instance because I prefer your comrades over liberals, too.
For those of us that have used Sync for a long time it has a lot of ui/ux options and we know how to find them.
If someone wants to use a weird definition for a word and hit me because of that they're prolly someone I wouldn't spend a lot of time talking to anyway.
Guys is gender neutral.
I tried reading it twice and didn't finish either time.
The chemical stuff is tough. I mean, viscerally, you've got smells that at least tell our brain to avoid it sometimes, but mostly the threat isn't immediate enough to make an impact. Solvents dry out your skin at which helps for some. It's just hard to make someone think that walking to a tool crib or supply cabinet is worth it over ten seconds of exposure. I'm that way with solvents (IPA and MPK).
It's getting better slowly. I get it for some things, though. If you've been running a manual mill for 30 years, a little piece of plexiglass isn't going to make you any safer and we waste effort on dumb shit like that too often. It makes it harder to get people to do some of the other things. Coming into the industry when I did helped. Watching a bunch of guys retire broken or die working has an impact.
As much as I hate heavy-handed policies, having large areas that are hearing protection required seems to work alright. There's no question about the sound level of a certain task or any room to argue. I managed to shake hands with my boss, his boss, then our director with a pair of ear plugs for each within a span of about 30m once. They didn't think it was as funny as I did. The look on their face when they saw what I put in their hand was priceless, though.
Are you familiar with the hexavalent chromium changes a few years ago? Those of us in aircraft were exposed to it daily in paints with no PPE then they're all "oops. We're cutting exposure limits by 100". And, of course, aircraft mechanics refuse to follow controls because we've done it this way for decades. It's the only thing that has the corrosion resistance properties needed for aircraft, so here we are.
Never buy a musical instrument from this sort of place.
We asked him to make sync for lemmy over in r/syncforreddit.
Uncle Bumblefuck shut him down so hard. It was glorious.
What got me about BM is instead of addressing it, he started deleting comments and shit.
