  • I’m not a masonry\stonework expert. Someone more knowledgeable may correct me. This issue may be lawyer overreach and or overreacting. Worker respiratory safety gear is standard on processing engineered stone, natural stone, cement, resins, and or anything requiring grinding, polishing, even in the sandblasting business.

    If OSHA is finding employers harming their employees – that is a litigious thing. If OSHA is finding a trend increase in the trades skill industry – then the entire trade (stonework) is scrutinized. If migrant workers, in the trades, are harmed more often then that is another 𝙙𝙖𝙧𝙠 issue.

    The cultured, artificial, or engineered stone product was invented so we don’t have to quarry the real thing – where silicosis risk is highest.









  • Can you look up hhh:\\www.sony.com

    I may have a false memory Mandela Effect on that “hhh” instead of “http”. I once collected websites into a binder as I found them in the wild, along with AOL keywords, CompuServe rooms, ICQ handles, etc.
    Up until I purchased a Sony Discman with the new websites printed on the packaging, I updated my web phonebook entries by strikeout and write new ones in. The Sony company sticks out only because whenever they put out new gadgets or service, I had to evermore new ones down.

    That binder was a feudal effort as time went on.
    But I remember seeing a few more “hhh:” sites, before I learned computers and there’s no such triple-h protocol. Just early advertisement typos perhaps. But funny how may have spotted it more than twice.





  • I went down a brief rabbit hole on the zip+4 and the IMb (intelligent mailer barcode). The +4 was originally a local division inside a single zipcode, like a neighborhood or mail route. +4 and the barcode was then called POSTNET – decommissioned and now upgraded barcode encoding to IMb, which can contain like 2000 bits of data. The zip +4 technically now has a length of 11 digits, and is inside a IMb barcode.

    Conclusion, barcodes have sensitive data too. ~✍️

    edit add: i wanted to see if my phone’s barcode app could scan too see if OP’s post office really calls him Mr. Off, but it cant natively read mailer codes and I fell asleep and the rabbit hole ended.








  • After one hour and a half of intense interrogation, Waldo never said one word. He never even blinked. In fact it was oddly odd he just starred straight off at the off-white wall the whole time. In fact, it wasn’t until the investigator walked behind the chair to see it was in fact a cardboard cutout of Waldo sitting in a chair in the chair the whole time!. With a Post-It note on the back that read… "Dear Sir, did you know Kinkos can print high quality life-size cutouts of your favorite celebrity? This Kinkos employee is also a mole working in your precinct for the last 35 years – whom is also a cardboard cutout. Best of luck finding us inside your 2D universe.
