My workplace (manufacturing) has air conditioning, technically, but it has been busted for the last two years. It regularly gets over 90 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer, and last year, we had several people pass out. Supposedly, management has signed off on getting the air conditioning repaired, but only because it has been causing machines to overheat and malfunction.
If this plan passes, it would make summer conditions inside manufacturing plants like mine safer and more bearable for workers.
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.
Which translates to 0.08% of the cost of a $30,000 car, and a lot of their gas guzzlers cost far more. Literally pocket change for them.
Learn to crochet. It’s not hard to learn, aside from some people whose brains are wired a bit different, and it doesn’t cost much to get into. Eats up a lot of time for larger projects, and you can kinda watch tv or listen to radio/audiobooks while doing it.
There are some things we don’t have to imagine, because everybody has experienced licking it. One such example is OP’s mom.

Every day, my work computers force a shutdown-update, take 20 minites, fail the update, recover from the failed update, and then force a 24-hour timer to do it again that I can’t turn off. IT doesn’t care.
I was hoping for an actual list of jobs he is barred from in the posted link, but it’s just another dime-a-dozen article on Trump’s conviction and riddled with ads.
I got grandfathered into YouTube Music since I was using Google Music when it got shut down. While not as good as Google Music, YT Music works well for me and has been building playlists suited to what I want to listen to. Plus, some lesser known local artists that only have their music on YouTube as video uploads will still show up on YouTube Music. I haven’t really tried any other serious streaming platforms, and only YT Music and Spotify natively sync to my car with maps.

I had a new tooth start sprouting on the inside of my mouth a while back. The new nerve in it was horribly sensitive, and I thought I had a cracked or damaged tooth before the dentist told me what was going on. I would rather have a nerve-less implant than a new-growing tooth like that again, given the choice.
Edit: It was a random new growth along the outside of my gums in my 20s.
The wiki page says right on it that under 18 is considered a minor for federal and forbids any interstate transport for illicit sexual activities. So any pornography (even within same state if internet/messengers are used), and any sexual acts that would be illegal where teaveled to (which could be determined by the state’s age of consent instead of the federal term of minor).
I was more trying to point out that some stuff that states find legal could get pulled into being illegal on the federal level in certain cases.
Federal is still at 18, I’m mostly sure, but they don’t really get involved unless it fall under their jurisdiction; mainly when interstate commerce is in-play such as internet porn.
But then what about high school couples that are 18 or 19 with 17? Most states have a Romeo & Juliet clause for near age couples to ignore that but I’ve heard of people getting arrested at 18 for cp because their 17 year old gf sent them nudes. (Interstate commerce = internet = federal jurisdiction)
