This mess is driven by Project 2025, which was written by a bunch of accelerationist Evangelical death cultists who are desperate for Jesus to come back and rapture them.

They think the looming climate crisis is a good thing since it’s one of the signs. That’s why they care about Israel, because it’s part of their doomsday fanfic. They touch themselves at night dreaming about how they’ll be sipping mimosas in heaven watching the rest of us burn. They’re gleeful about killing us all.

Of course they’re YOLOing this shit. The sooner everything collapses, the sooner they’ll get their preordained rewards, and they want to be fat and happy in the meantime. And by the way, if you aren’t ‘blessed’ enough to be rich already, you must be wicked and you deserve it.

They’re going to pillage and kill us all if we don’t stop them.

Welp, it was nice knowing you all.

Highway to the extreme caution zone just doesn’t have that ring to it.

I doubt they did that intentionally – i think many indoor thermostats don’t allow space past 99 (I just checked mine, and it doesn’t either), because that’s an unreasonable temperature for indoor spaces, and would be such an edge case that display space is more important from a design perspective.

The point is that’s an unreasonable temperature. Sorry they’re treating you like this. Makes me angry for you.

Environmental temps that high put you a serious risk of heat stroke, though. That seems like a pretty clear health and safety violation.

From OSHA: Exposure to Outdoor and Indoor Heat‑Related Hazards

Dangers of Exposure to Heat Hazards

Exposure to heat hazards both outdoors and indoors could lead to serious illness, injury, or death. Heat-related illnesses and injuries can happen at varying ambient temperatures, especially in cases where workers are not acclimated, perform moderate or higher physical activity, or wear heavy or bulky clothing or equipment, including personal protective equipment. Heat-related illnesses and injuries also generally occur when body heat generated by physical work is performed in conditions of high ambient heat, especially when combined with humidity and inadequate cooling.

Heat Index

The National Weather Service (NWS) uses a heat index (HI) to classify environmental heat into four categories:

• Caution (80°F – 90°F HI);
• Extreme Caution (91°F – 103°F HI);
• Danger (103°F – 124°F HI); and,
• Extreme Danger (126°F or higher HI).

It sounds like you’re in the Extreme Caution (and sometimes in the Danger) category.

OSHA mentions a Heat Safety Tool app in that document, too.

Here’s their Heat Stress Guide, too, which says:

The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act) requires employers to comply with hazard-specific safety and health standards. In addition, pursuant to Section 5(a)(1) of the OSH Act, employers must provide their employees with a workplace free from recognized hazards likely to cause death or serious physical harm.

Enforceability does vary, but OP should know this sounds like a pretty blatant violation and may be enforceable.

As a UXD who was a firmware dev for products (not thermostats, but similar things), in looking at this display, I’d bet money it’s not capable of showing numbers past 99. The layout doesn’t seem to allow space for more than a 2 digit temp reading.

The ‘heat’ and ‘fan’ indicators on either side of the temp reading are in a fixed location, so the temp display would max at 99. It’s highly plausible the real temperature exceeds that as you say.

Are you in the US? This situation feels like something OSHA would frown upon.

Trump himself has said he’s stunted. He told his biographer:

When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I’m basically the same. The temperament is not that different.

So according to himself, he has the temperament of a 6 or 7 year old. And he’s somehow proud of this.

He basically already has:

Trump on Elon Musk: 'He knows those computers better than anybody. All those computers. Those vote-counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide.'

My favourite part was when he was bragging about remembering ‘person, man, woman, camera, tv’ when those would absolutely not have been the words in the test. The word list will always be unrelated things (like daisy, piano, horse, book, etc), since related words would defeat the purpose.

He was obviously just naming things in his field of vision at the time. It’s such a weird thing to repeatedly boast and lie about.

I feel like you’re the only person here who actually understands what WD-40 is and what it’s for.

Thank you.

It’s actually a solvent, not a lubricant. It can unseize things, but you need to apply proper lubricant if you don’t want them to seize again.

Perhaps because if they did that, there’s a very high chance trump would nuke them. He’s been itching for a reason to use nukes since his first term, and that would give him the excuse he wants.

e: I think the fact I got 2 opposing comments (he’d do it without justification and he’d be stopped by the CoC even with justification) might be telling here. He’s a monkey with a machine gun, and who knows if justification would work on others in the chain of command? Perhaps they’d rather not risk that.

Thanks, this exactly. Each material has its own ideal product or method, but a light rub with WD-40 works on nearly anything (but not what you’re thinking – it’s never lube. It’s poisonous.).

It actually has interesting chemical properties.

That’s not really a bonus. WD-40 will likely also get you high in close quarters – it’s probably more expensive than weed, though, and likely kills more of your brain than is worth it.

I recommend a high THC, mushrooms, or LSD instead. Combustible inhalants are a worse high that will probably give you a headache and then cancer. No bueno.

More sticky children hacks, please. :)

That doesn’t always work. Some of these adhesives are stupidly sticky, and some leave all of their paper rather than giving up.

If it’s a weak adhesive, that method is fine. This tip is for strong or obnoxiously sticky adhesives, and especially on surfaces that don’t want to give up or that could be damaged easily.

I’m sorry, I answered your question from my inbox instead of in context in this thread, so I lost context.

I haven’t tried cooking oil, just WD-40. I’ll try cooking oil as you suggested.

I’ve tested it on nearly everything over the years. It works on everything so far. I didn’t have any a bit ago and used alcohol instead, and it ruined the rubber surface. That’s why I posted this. I should have been less impatient and waited till I had some. Posted so others can learn before they ruin something like I just did.

Alcohol is far more aggressive and will ruin many plastics, rubber, painted surfaces, finished wood, and coated paper.

Be really, really careful using alcohol on anything other than bare metal and some plastics. Many plastics and rubber will be made eternally sticky with alcohol (I made this mistake earlier today, which was why I posted this).

They often fuck up plastic, rubber, fake leather, definitely paper, and painted or finished surfaces. WD-40 is usually safe on those surfaces (or as others have said, Zippo lighter fluid and possibly cooking oil).

Alcohol removes adhesive, but is likely to ruin the surface too.
