Hopefully some of these flat earthers were CEOs? I mean to say “thoughts and prayers”.

But maybe we need a new cutsey saying “at least one CEO amongst them” or something.

    That story below is tragic. 12 restaurant workers killed in their dorm by fumes from a generator that was used while the power was out.

      I saw that as well. Was there ever an explanation for why they kept the generator inside? I really hope there was a good reason.

        People underestimate how quickly Carbon Monoxide can overtake you and how little air there actually is indoors. I was helping someone with their car once time. It was winter and we were starting it to see if something was working. He kept starting it with the garage door closed and seemed annoyed when I would open the door to vent the exhaust. I’d rather be slightly cold than dead. Those people that use keorose or diesel heaters on their garages in the winter just sketches me out. I’m ready to ditch natural gas from my home altogether because I just don’t like the idea of it.

        Most likely because its cold enough there the generator would freeze if it was outside. Why they didn’t put itin a shed,I guess because money? E: still there should have been ducting for exhaust. Unless there was,and the wind shifted,and blew the exhaust back towards the building?
