  • 37 here. The message is a reference to Welcome Back, Kotter. A show which most people are unaware actually had George Carlin in one episode!

  • Every time I open a fortune cookie, I always get the exact same fortune, every single time: "This paper has been coated with a food-safe laminate."

  • I watched it based on a recommendation from someone on the Reddit DT and I promised myself I would go back and chat with them about it... but I never did... Anywhoo, interested to hear what your thoughts are when you get to the end of the series.

  • Are they primarily for listening to music while also blocking out noise? I'm looking into them and thanks for the suggestion but just to be clear, I only really need the noise cancelling aspect / hearing protection aspect. Unless these have some additional benefit over a non-chargable set of earmuffs I'm not seeing?

    [edit] oh, and the noise will be intermittent, if that helps. Like, one blast of noise every 15-30 seconds or so. Like hummm BZZT hummm BZZT, etc.

  • Anyone here have experience with hearing protection in a noisy work environment? As in machine noise? Any brands that are better (or the best) to look out for? Price is not really a factor here - I'd like to pay for quality in this instance.

    Musk failed to get the necessary permits to change Twitter’s building signage to X, and the police shut it down just in time for “er” to remain.
  • On public roads and sidewalks, you need permits and to have submitted a plan showing how much of the footpath/road will be blocked and for how long. You need to show where your bollards and rope or whatnot will be and any necessary signage (like 'pedesdrians keep left's) that sort of thing.

    Once you get the approval, you can jam up the area with a cherry picker/crane until you're finished and everything is packed away.

    So anyway, what I'm getting at, is this is the signage company not getting the permits - which they would have charged Twitter/X for and not an Elon oversight - UNLESS Elon decided to park that crane out there himself and to get whoever to pull down the signage.

  • I browse on old.reddit and used unlock to block .awardings-bar a long time ago. It's amazing how much nicer it is not seeing all that junk.
