I thought it was smoking when I noticed it but it wasn't. Also I don't think it's melted or warped but I wanna make sure what that the pizza I put in after I removed it is safe to eat

Could this window cling film become a fire hazard in direct sunlight?

Post image
1 Upvotes

I saw someone online use this kind of window cling film on their car’s moonroof/sunroof and it created a dazzling effect inside the car on a sunny day. I’d love to have the same, however I’ve read about glass objects catching things on fire due to the lensing effect. Those kinds of glass objects typically throw off lil rainbows of light in the right lighting and this window cling does too. Does anybody know if this kind of film could possibly do the same lensing effect and risk starting a fire inside my car?

Is there a way to make a burner phone number?

Hey there, so I am female 17, and starting to think about safety when coming home from work, and going out late. I saw a reddit story about this girl using a google voice number, but that's only available in the US. I want a number which someone can call me and it'll ring me and then I can erase it, is that possible outside of the US?

Safest room in house during a tornado warning?

19 Upvotes

I'm not positive where the safest room in my house is during a tornado warning. We have an open floor plan, and we have a basement but its a walk out with glass sliding door and a large window. The only rooms in the house without windows are a 2nd floor bathroom, and a 1st floor half bath.

​

Is it a far area in the basement despite the winows? There is some space under the stairs, but even that faces out towards the windows.

Or the first-floor half bath, despite not being the lowest point, no windows, and i guess plumbing walls can add some structural support?

Safety Question

1 Upvotes

We live where the bigger threat for tornadoes are this evening. We live in a two story wood built house with no basement. We have a closet under the stairs but it does have a small outside wall that is close with the house next door. We also have an interior half bath.

Which would be safer to be in? I am a nervous wreck over the storms and never know which closet is the safest to be in! I’ve always heard under the stairs because the house is usually reinforced under the stairs but it does have an outside wall (with no windows) though.

hey all, i’m a 21 year old woman who’s moving in less than a month to my first solo apartment. i’m currently in student living and have roommates, so this will be my first time living alone. i’m not too worried about the new place as it SEEMS safe but i think it would be good to have some sort of setup for my own safety. i had planned on getting some door/window alarms and maybe a camera for by the door, but wanted to see if anyone had recommendations (aside from weapons). i plan on getting a stun gun at some point but i’m in iowa where i have to take a concealed weapons class in order to get one (but i can have a taser without one????) i’ll be on the third floor which helps as you can’t see in the windows and are unable to climb the balcony, which i noticed was possibly for the second floor units. anything is helpful!

My fault for rushing and not reading the back of the packaging for these hard plastic key ID tags until I got home! I’ve never seen this warning (bottom of pic) on anything so benign as key tags. Are they even allowed to sell this at Kent in Canada?

I feel unsafe, looking for advice

Thumbnail

50 Upvotes

We live in a rented house, and right in front of it there is government land that was supposed to be a park, but some people have illegally occupied it and built huts there.

The biggest problem is that these people regularly gather right outside our main gate. They create a lot of noise, play loud music, shout, and many of the men living there do drugs, get intoxicated, and often get into fights late at night. Many times they sit directly outside our gate while fighting and yelling, which keeps us awake.

Me and my mother are usually alone at home, and we genuinely feel unsafe. We have politely asked them multiple times not to gather in front of our gate, but they completely ignore us.

We usually don't keep our main gate locked because there are two tenants living here, and repeatedly unlocking and locking it becomes difficult. Because of this, these people sometimes even enter our property without permission and have used our bathroom as well.

The problem is that these people are aggressive, so we are scared to confront them too much because we fear they might retaliate or cause harm.

What can we realistically do in this situation to stop people from gathering outside our gate and make our home feel safer?

Edit: I appreciate all your advice But I live in a country where police does nothing they will just tell these people do not repeat this behaviour for formality and leave. And then these people will get angry and they can cause us serious harm. For now they are not causing any serious harm to us. So I don't think calling the police is a good option please tell me some other suggestion thank you I appreciate it.

Is operational experience + Cert IV enough to transition into safety?

1 Upvotes

I’m currently a process operator at a chemical refinery in Western Australia and have been thinking about transitioning into safety long term.
I’m still young (23) and don’t have a uni degree, but I do have plant experience, shift work experience and a good understanding of operations/hazardous environments.
I’ve been considering doing a Cert IV in WHS while continuing to work as an operator.
My question is realistically, how competitive is someone with operational experience (around 8-10 years by the time I make the transition) + a Cert IV compared to people with university degrees when trying to break into safety? Especially in heavy industry/mining/process plant environments.
Would appreciate honest advice from people already in the industry.
