A PSA about laundry that reminds you that the decision makers don’t think about working people at all

The fuck sort of bullshit is that?

That is laundry advice that only applies to the whitest of white-collar workers.  People who only wear designer jeans in climate controlled offices or work from home and sit behind a laptop.

Anyone who works in jeans that are made to work it would tell you just how bullshit that is.

I worked in a sheet metal mill.  Everything is covered in rolling oil.  It’s sprayed on the metal and gets aerosolized and coats every square inch of everything. It soaks into your clothes.  Your jeans feel like they’ve been dipped in butter.

I’ve worker in a restaurant kitchen, I’ve worked in a weld shop, I’ve worked in a refinery.

I’ve had jobs where I came home and showed with Lava soap.

I’ve had to take my work clothes to a laundromat because they were coated in so much gunk that I didn’t want to wash them at home.  I’d wash them twice, first time with Zep industrial degreaser then in laundry detergent.

There are millions of working men and women to do dirtier jobs than that.

But this sort of advice gets put out there like it’s the norm.

It’s not.

It’s that the people who come up with this shit and publish it are so cloistered inside their bubble that they don’t even consider that working people who do dirty jobs even exist when coming up with policy.

And this is her mugshot:

I bet she is thinking “I am immortal! They can’t kill me!” “THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!”

 

 

Fixing the battery pack of a Tesla: The Finnish Way.

Reader Ziggy89 AKA The Whiffle, sent me this video. It seems the owner did not want to shed $22K for a new battery pack and the owner decides to “recycle” the vehicle the Finn way: 66 pounds of explosives

 

Holy Crap, that was me!

A photo taken by the missus Christmas Day 3 or 4 years ago I did not remember, versus today.

And I was feeling guilty because I murdered the diet this morning. There were pancakes and biscuits made from scratch and bacon and sausage and maple syrup and butter…. so, I said, “Screw it, go for it.”

I don’t feel as bad now. I’ll go back to the diet next year.

Gym? Tomorrow.

I love the irony of her “righteous” indignation demanding the old man to put on a mask while she is not wearing hers.
And for the record, at the face-scratching part, she would have gotten slapped hard enough to have her lower jaw chew 90 degrees off center.
