  • My TLDR version:

    If finalized, new rules announced by the Labor Department would require employers to develop a plan to prevent heat-related injuries and take proactive safety measure if employees are regularly exposed to a heat index or “feels like” temperature of 80 degrees Fahrenheit (80°F) or higher.

    Job site training and a plan to acclimate new workers to hot conditions are also required if the heat index tops 80°F. If the heat index at a work site exceeds 90°F, then paid rest breaks for 15 minutes every two hours become mandatory, and employers must actively monitor for heat exhaustion.

    Heat index is the “feels like” temperature relative to humidity, and employees primarily working inside air-conditioned spaces or taking brief trips outside are not subject to the proposed rules. Instead, the proposed workplace standards focus on employees who are engaged in activities that could raise their core body temperature, according to the senior administration official.

















  • Basically just Fire Emblem Heroes right now.

    I keep trying to find a fun game that isn’t a pay to win where you need to whale hundreds of dollars for a -chance- to get something usable (FE Heroes is kinda like this but not too bad) but everything on the app store seems like garbage whenever I look. It’s all designed to punish you if you don’t pay enough money. I don’t mind paying a bit for a game I like but I can’t really find anything good.

    I might end up just buying Slay The Spire, even though I already own it on PC.

    My dad had a well at once house he had. Something broke on it, and the city (suburbs, but still) stepped in and forced him to pay several thousand dollars to have excavators come out and hook the house up to city water. They wouldn’t let him fix the well.

    Edit: I think the pump gave out, and the city stepped in because zoning laws changed since the house was built. The well was grandfathered in to old zoning laws until the pump broke.
