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.
There are pockets and layers of water in the ocean that behave very differently from each other. There are areas of high salt concentration that pretty much act as death horizons for many organisms. There are waters completely devoid of oxygen that suffocate organisms that get lost or stuck in it.
So, in a sense: yes. However the degree to which marine life had adapted to these conditions, the more unlikely parameter is a dead organism not being consumed by scavengers.
I actually have this thing. The knife thing is annoying and it just sits on the back acting as a brace for the dishsoap bottle. The cutting board rack is kinda dumb because it just dries onto your counter.
But the baskets are nice because they drain into the sink. It was a really cheap kitchen improvement purchase I don’t regret.
What it needs though are raised rubber gasket lined feet so it doesn’t hold bits of water under the base you have to lift and wipe up. It’s cheap material and easily modified.

They don’t even have to pass those if they don’t want to. In portions of America it is just: win an election, appoint your friends and lackies.
A lot of departments use the admission tests to screen out candidates who might be overqualified: they specifically won’t want the best. An overwight blob is preferable to an in shape individual that might think before acting.
Hamas being a terrorist organization.
For what it is worth the Warsaw Uprising and the Yugoslavian Partizans were also terrorist uprisings against their legal governments that were committing a (technically legal) Holocaust.
That’s how I get to be wrong more than half the day. The sun knows when the jacket goes back on.
They’ll both be wrong half the day.
So you’re telling me the company that doesn’t have unions fails to deliver?
I still have a tick where I rate the shelterability of nooks and crannies in public spaces. Dry stairwell here, unlocked gate there, and so on.
It’s an odd feeling, being a homeowner these many years later.
People focus their energies on getting through the day for the most part of their lives. It is very hard for people to muster the time and energy to paying attention to politics, let alone ideologically political propaganda.
The vast majority flat ignore it entirely and remain in an apolitical state. This is a primary function of propaganda: insulating people from political action or thought that might alter the status quo.
I got married while standing in a river and I incorporated a pagan ritual in front of a select few of unsuspecting parents and their spouses.
Worth.
A month and a half later we held a fancy reception dinner and served pancakes.
Also worth.
Bill Watterson was my childhood philosopher.
The adhesive gave out before the glow on those things.
As a sweatshop, where civilized at all.
And that mostly went for Asia as a whole in the average American portrayal.
Remember, communities are more akin to private walled gardens than public open fields.
Most of the time you’re walking into someone’s house to make a post or comment.
The Fediverse is built on the efforts of relatively few individuals on their own motivation and convictions. There are no duties to uphold for shareholders or governments.
People are welcome to be as open and inclusive as they can manage, but there’s no actual obligation to the public at large. So it’s wise just to be respectful in general and let this stuff roll off your back.
Poor depressurized deep sea fish. That thing is dead from being turned inside out from the vacuum pressure of being hauled out of the ocean. They don’t look like that until we do that to 'em.
I can’t read these runes. Life sense, roll for initiative.
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.
