The whole green / carbon neutral ethos isnt sustainable period, nevermind just in the IT sector.
The technology and infrastructure simply isn't up to the job. Here in the UK the power grid is at least 10 years behind for the needs of coping withe EV alone...
Just recently the government have pushed back the date for the banning of new natural gas boilers for domestic use.... The world's gone made
WTF is an electrical plumber?
As an electrician myself, its a sin only punishable by a good rogering with a wire brush to mention plumber in the same sentence. In fact youll never see a plumber and an electrician in the same room, the hatred between the two trades is THAT bad.
I was installing wireless AP around the perimeter of a warehouse, in a safety cage on a forklift. The AP were only just above head hight but as step ladders were not aloud to be used in case of a fall, I was driven around all day by a FLT driver.
Anyway, being the professional that I am, I had got most of the PPE on, hard had, hi-viz etc, everything but the full body harness, which was in a heap in the bottom of the safety cage.
At one point during the day the H&S 'Git' came walking past and pointed out that I wasn't wearing the harness, and that I 'must' put it on or I will be removed from site. I smugly pointed out that the risk assesment that I did prior to the job states that the harness is not suitable. The 'Git' was still adamant that I wear it. I then pointed out the it wasn't suitable because the harness had a 3m fall arrester on and that should I fall I would most probably break my legs before the harness had any real effect.
He didn't know what to say, but low and behold the following day there was a suitable harness in the cage.
