I feel like if asbestos was banned today there'd be a huge pro-asbestos movement
  • You probably know about it more than me..

    I've been onsite plenty of times when they've been cutting that stuff up. Some owners argued better PPE would be enough for the Stonemasons, but it won't protect other people where its being cut.

    Furthermore, nobody NEEDS engineered stone anyway, and people tend to take shortcuts when they are in a rush

    And its mainly the workers affected. The people selling it are sometimes the ones who aren't even cutting it up (especially because they know there are risks).

    Feel bad for my friend though who now has silicosis and no way to cure it.

  • I feel like if asbestos was banned today there'd be a huge pro-asbestos movement
  • When it's cut for bench tops and such , that's what exposes people.

    Lots of stonemasons here in Australia now have silicosis because of it.

    Natural stone has far less issues and there is stone available which doesn't cause it

    Business owners were also claiming they weren't given enough time to switch. Everyone including me (I have a friend with silicosis now) has known engineered stone was dangerous to work with for years.

    So they had years of warning that it was dangerous But they pretend like it was unexpected.

  • Despite a court order, White House bars AP from Oval Office event
  • Haven't you heard though?

    Both parties are the same apparently

    Also "hunter bidens laptop" /s

    It's literally 1 party which isn't following any laws and getting in shit fights with literally, vs a party where Israel is the only bad thing that can be said about it...

    It's like that black mirror episode with Waldo.

  • I feel like if asbestos was banned today there'd be a huge pro-asbestos movement
  • Here in Australia we just banned engineered stone because it tends to cause silicosis

    And yep, lots of shitty business owners whined and a few shit customers on Facebook

    Silicosis is what's killing people at the moment, and business owners in particular don't seem to care, despite the fact there's is alternatives

  • Something's up with all those airbnb locks | Purplepingers
  • They stopped using them on construction sites specifically for that reason. You can just cut them off (or knock them off the wall), and open them at your leisure. Everyone hides the keys instead now.

    Also, its just a stupid solution for AirBNB too, since anyone can easily clone the keys. You're better off installing a lock that accepts pin numbers and you can change whenever a guest leaves

  • Rightwing lobby group Advance says it makes ‘no apology’ for support given to anti-Greens groups
  • Voting for people like this is like being convinced to punch yourself in the dick.

    Some people need to wait to discover what a truly shit idea it is before. Its a pity that when people get cancer, it doesn't pop up with a label saying it was caused by Coal and car fumes, because if it did, the choice would be obvious

  • Should we learn from Canadian marketing?
  • Yep. Was going to mention that

    And they say what percentage in Australia in a lot of cases

    A year ago, I thought it was stupid. But with trump in charge, Im even switching to Linux now, and dumping Apple music for Spotify again

  • The Republicans Should've Faced Way More Criticism During The 2024 Presidential Campaign
  • Fascism is forceable suppression of opposition.

    The only one who has actually proven they do that (by reporting people who haven't broken any rules to silence them)is you.. Making you a fascist

    Everything else here is just accusations of such by yourself with no evidence (and lots of evidence against)
