For real, give me the ol' "Hey, bud?" first and then when it's clear I'm paying attention, then ask.

I love operating heavy machinery as long as I don't have to get out/off the heavy machinery.

If I have to get off to fix it when it breaks then I'm unhappy.

Using an airconditioned tractor for literally anything, fun. Unjamming the fucking hay bailer when it's over 100F and 95% humidity and there's dust everywhere, not fun.

You just gotta add a sign that says "Warning: trapping wild animals without a license is illegal. This trap is for feral cats only. Any wild animals found in this trap will be shot on sight."

For a more forceful solution: pull the plug out slightly and then arc a screwdriver across the pins. Note: the screwdriver is consumed in this process.

Alternate method: pour mercury into an air vent on the computer.

I don’t really know what air filters filter out can they remove CO2

They filter particulates, CO2 is a gas. Some also have UV-C lights for killing microbes, and some have ozone generators which, despite making things smell clean, should not be run near people.

If you want to "filter" CO2 out you need what's called and carbon-dioxide scrubber, like what's used in rebreathers for divers, submarines, and the space station.

With the exception of mockingbirds. Who do it to be jackasses.

I had one in my yard that copied the sound of a tool once, I walked away and then heard it going and of course I'm thinking "how the hell did that turn on?". Of course I go to check and it's off and was just a mocking bird. It then proceded to make that noise for the rest of the day.

They're telescoping so they can retract them for bridges or inclement weather.

No, you make an account on that piped instance.

Which is why "spurious emission" is the proper term to use.

The point where you can call it a "radiation hazard" when talking about RF is if it's at the point where RF Burns are a possibility which a phone is just not capable of.

Devils advocate: at least in the US they need to get rid of the thing that says sleeping in your car in the parking lot of the bar is a DUI.

That's literally a person doing the responsoble thing but the pigs can't help but salivate over the easy DUI they can add to their "not-a-quota".

It encourages people to drive drunk when they might have slept it off in the car because there's a chance you get away with it, whereas sleeping in the car at the bar is a guaranteed DUI.

B but I also wouldn' use that guillotine, I'd use the 300ton one that the US government has for decapitating B52s
