Anyone have a pair of impact-rated safety glasses they really like? I've dealt with whatever I can find at the hardware store long enough, and would consider a "nicer" upgrade if it also reduced the amount of dust that gets in around the edges.
I need them to fit over glasses. I'd prefer earpieces to a headband, but I'll deal if it's effective and comfortable. Also needs to accommodate a respirator.
Do not recommend full-face shields, please. #woodworking#safety
If you're in the UK, check out this new Rough Sleeping Criminal Justice Bill. Feel free to boost this for visibility or add hashtags - I think it's important to set &/or maintain the precedent that these laws be debated and critiqued very thoroughly. Telling someone with no home to 'move along' is a stiff order. That police could be asked to uphold this law (as it is written) could carry a risk of moral injury to our coppers.
“Nuisance rough sleeping” starts at s.59, and the offending smelly “rough sleeping condition” can be found at s.69(5)(c). Including words from subs.(4):
> A person does “something that is a nuisance” if the person ... causes or does something capable of causing ... damage to the environment (including excessive noise, smells, litter or deposits of waste)...
If one were to parody this, I'd propose the following as a start:
"Sleeping in public in the UK must now be done only in a suit and tie or equivalent formal dress, whilst wearing a perfume. Snoring is illegal. Campaigners are lobbying the government to permit it to be carried out whilst wearing a polo-shirt and chinos, however the government maintain that this is a slippery slope to people wearing pyjamas in public, and thence anarchy."
Information about one's MP is available at https://www.theyworkforyou.com/ if you feel further critique of this law is a worthy cause. I'd suggest any MP pushing for this would get positive media coverage.
I made an orange version of my "mag boot" lights inspired by #TheExpanse for visibility when walking around traffic. Might also be useful when on a bike. Thoughts?
Made these "mag boot" lights (red version with arrow pattern) inspired by #TheExpanse to keep me visible when walking around traffic. Could also work for when on a bicycle/motorcycle/scooter. What do you think?

Good morning Mastodonians! Whew, I've had a crazy morning already...it's raining, getting windy, and I had to go supervise the setup of porta-johns at the Roadeo course first thing. Still waiting to hear from the tent people. Thankfully it's to be clear tomorrow, so we'll have a good day to run buses through our course.
And what's a Roadeo, you ask? It's a competition for bus drivers from around the state, testing their abilities. It includes a safety inspection, proper mobility device securement, and an obstacle course that drivers must negotiate safely. This all promotes safety and skill in the world of public transit, and the winners go on to a national competition.

The settlement comes nearly 3 years after the company acknowledged that an industrial foam fitted inside its machines could degrade and release toxic substances into #patients' masks.
