I agree with you, but no matter has good your training and equipment, you’re taking the chance every time.

As someone pointed out elsewhere in this thread, the same is true of driving to work, which makes OP’s position rather questionable.

This is the worst headline I’ve read all day.

I don’t think he has any beef with firemen, but if your job is to deliberately expose yourself to an incredibly dangerous situation on the regular, death is kind of an expected outcome.

I agree, as far as that goes, but I still feel sorry for them.

No, that’s the 35th rule.

Rule 34 applies.

No, not that one. Rule of acquisition #34.

Distilling is dangerous is it goes wrong.

Making meth is dangerous even if everything goes right.

Possible. I’d hardly call that role playing, but I could see it.

OP should take the chance to clear that up for us.

If you’re not talking about furries, then you’re gonna need to use more words to ask your question. Who is role playing animals, under what circumstances. Are you talking about a game? Are you making political commentary? Street Theater? Help us help you.

This collapse didn’t start in January.

Well, that’s customer satisfaction.

In this example, the child is living, and has needs.

Very nice.

How about those Epstein files?

I’m an actual engineer with a degree and everything, although this is not my area of expertise, it’s one I’m familiar with.

They could do something like you suggest, but every step becomes more expensive and less effective. The exhaust from a coal fired power plant is still plenty hot, and more energy could be extracted from it. But it requires more and more to make less and less.

The curse of every engineer is to see a way to them every waste stream into a useful product, but not being able to do so profitably. (Which means no-one will approve the project)

The difficulty is, to put it in very simple terms, is that physics doesn’t allow that. The less simple explanation is a thermodynamics textbook, and trust me, you don’t want that.

Everything generates heat. Everything. Everything. Anything that seems to generate “cold” is generating more heat somewhere else.

Note your use of the word “cool.”

A condenser will generate the same amount of heat that they are trying to dissipate.

I suspect that the reaction to the edited video spooked them. They were expecting to get away with that, and when it was so easily called pot as a fraud, they had to reconsider.

Indeed it is so.

Nevertheless, assholes.

If the employers are using computers to read my resume, why shouldn’t I used a computer to write it?

Assholes to the lot of them.

Also, that whole thing is nonsense of the highest order.
