Low wages and a growing conservative retiree mecca, kind of like Arizona, but much less populated so there’s a much stronger impact.

I get what you mean, and it’s a common thought and strategy. It just doesn’t work as well as one might think. Unless there is a union, employees are at a significant disadvantage. Forming a union would be FAR more effective than quoting OSHA regs.
The main thing is regulatory violations aren’t (usually) criminal so there’s a long administrative process to most enforcement actions. Companies overwhelmingly have the resources to litigate beyond their employees means. So if they have the resources to have legal council or a compliance officer, there likely needs to be a well documented paper trail of concealment or otherwise flagrant disregard or denial of improved conditions.
There not being A/C isn’t enough. Refusing requests to install A/C is better. The company removing workers fans to make a point goes further in a case. Then putting out an internal memo requiring zero ventilation and to lie to investigators is a strong case.
The fear of god isn’t enforceable. The main thing you do in referencing OSHA is to demonstrate a level of knowledge, commitment, or at least interest in the issue. And most of the time it is the appearance of concealing a condition that is the enforced violation. This is usually what companies are actually sensitive to.
So while an OSHA violation is a serious thing, the conditions in question here (heat) are not a regulation that can be violated and therefore enforced in the same way.
Yep, and precisely why there is the need to develop an argument in defining ‘reasonable’ instead of just citing the applicable law or regulation. The OSHA recommendation provides a less arbitrary foundation for defining a reasonable temperature.
The OSHA recommendation is 68-76F, which isn’t a direct link to ‘reasonable’ but provides a suitable context to frame workplace conditions.
If people’s body temperatures can be measured exceeding 100F a link to heat stress and increasing risk of injury in the workplace can also be drawn as it’s generally the equivalent of working with a fever.
Without it the value of the Suez Canal plummets. Please, think of the shareholders.
distract americans from the nightmare they are enduring
I assure you the nightmare is being experienced more acutely and directly by the people being actively bombed.
The collective age of this comment chain is now approximately 120.
We do a lil’ innvoation in the private sector here.
Bladder sourced is what the study determined, with the fluid being normal urine or Skene’s gland secretion, but likely some combination.
Plausibly there could be pure glandular secretion squirt. Or urine. But likely a mix.
Moral ABCs never disappoint.
It isn’t a paradox, or it doesn’t have to be. It isn’t a seemingly false or untrue statement that belies a deeper meaning.
It is a definitional and logical conclusion that a concept cannot tolerate its anathema and inverse.
Chemically tolerance means the limit at which something begins to degrade or an organism has to/begins to adapt. This is at least what I interpret with what is being brought up with tolerance of intolerance: when adaptation or degradation is required, the limits of tolerance have been reached.
Insert one shibboleth, like one bit of information critically wrong intentionally. Make lists of users who point it out for HR.
That’s likely what’s at work with these things. I even got a few chronic haters that downvote just about everything I write, even when it’s calling out racism. They’ll downvote criticism of Nazis in the effort, even.
Ah the 20 upvotes to 14 down. Good ol’ reliable internet.
My history is lacking on the conflict but IIRC the area was ‘run’ as a monarchy under British rule. The monarchy was Hindu but the population was largely Muslim.
So you had a local population in conflict with a ruling class inheriting being a mechanism of the colonial apparatus.
No technician on Earth will be able to debug this black box spaghetti except the manufacturer.
I do not share such faith in the manufacturer that made the black box spaghetti.
PS3 launch relied on its backwards compatibility to have a deep roster of games. Removing hardware backwards compatibility was a blow, and in my opinion really started the unfortunate trend of rereleasing ported last-gen games for the next-gen console.
To me there’s a difference between using assets that were generated by AI and a game using generative AI to create assets.
A person hired as an artist to make dialogue portraits could have shoveled some slop to meet a deadline. That’s a production issue.
But if the games are being integrated with a generative AI model to cover minor assets, that’s a fundamental development issue and I
cancannot possibly see how that’s good for anything.
