I was honestly expecting you to have lost your job over listening to a podcast at work.

You were having a "spirited debate" about drinking urine? And a comment on a podcast was the awkward part? š¤£

I thought it's sterile
hufflestitch t1_isxfvsn wrote
Urine is only sterile if 1) you donāt have a UTI, and 2) itās collected sterilely. The tissue surrounding the urethral meatus often has bacterial colonies on the skin. So antiseptic would have to be used to clean the skin, and the urine would have to collected sterilely into a sterile container. Otherwise allowing urine to āageā is likely to result in bacterial growth. Regardless, bacteria still isnāt the biggest issue with drinking urine. You have to consider that this is what your kidneys excreted as waste, so putting it back through your renal system isnāt going to do any favors to your kidneys. Theoretically the same could be said for the liver if you are spilling bilirubin.

Is someone's mouth considered a sterile container?
hufflestitch t1_isxufhy wrote
Unfortunately no. š¤£ no part of the GI tract is considered sterile.

no more with the speakers though dude you gotta use headphones only
old grumpy bastards like us over 30 hate that playing anything on a speaker in public crap, so will your boss

If you are on a construction site, earbuds/headphones are a REALLY bad idea. Saftey first... Every contractor I've known had a boombox that they blast music on.
St3phiroth t1_istqvow wrote
I live in a new construction development that's still being built. They've definitely always got music on at all the in-progress houses. The flooring guys have especially good taste, and one of them can sing super well! You can hear him installing carpet and belting out 90s ballads from a block away.

Especially if there is heavy equipment in use, no headphones.

Idk a lot of my coworkers are 50+ former construction contractors and they blast music without *headphones in the office daily
Edit: said speakers meant headphones

Because theyre practically deaf because they didnt wear ear protection because its the macho thing to do.
Just using a circular saw you can get hearing damage. Same thing with a hammer.
Githyerazi t1_isss3u4 wrote
If they are using headphones (without speakers), is it still blasting the music?
horsempreg t1_ist6zr1 wrote
But theyāre not using headphones soā¦?
Githyerazi t1_isukyyl wrote
Okay, I thought the next option was to blast the music using anal beads, but don't think the sound would go very far.....
Psych0tix t1_istabgq wrote
I work in construction like 90% of us have a speaker or radio blasting some shit or another

Idk seems like all the contractors we work with play their boombox looking radios loudly
AlmostButNotQuiteTea t1_isuxmog wrote
You shouldn't be using headphones on a construction site.
Everyone has speakers and you just accept it, and have courtesy, that when someone is trying to speak you turn it down if its loud, or if you walk into a room with your speaker going and someone else is already in there, you turn yours down/off.

This was one of the things they always bitch at me about. I usually have some kind of thing playing at my desk-music, a Youtube video, something to relieve the tedium of sitting there doing paperwork and answering phone calls and emails. Usually have my headphones on because nobody else in the office has the same interests as me and I don't want to make the 8 middle-aged Hispanic women out of the 11 staff we have listen to the Swedish and German metal bands I like. First it was "Fine, just get your work done." Then it was "We don't mind if we hear that, just don't use your headphones because you might miss the doorbell." Odd, considering that my office is about half the building away from the door and we have two people with offices on either side of the door who can answer it. Now it's "When you have your headphones on it looks like you're not working. Please don't use your headphones at your desk." This is despite the fact that I currently do the work of about 4 people including a hefty amount of what should be my boss' work that he's either too lazy or too apathetic to do. How do I know this? Because last week while he was on vacation we found months of backlogged paperwork stuffed in drawers and in intermixed piles all over the office, as well as the fact that he had over 300 unread emails from clients trying to get ahold of him.
But sure, bitch at me about being considerate and wearing headphones while I'm working.

Nope, but we did find a shit-ton of unfiled client applications which we now get to explain to the federal agency that gives us the vast majority of our program funding. So there's that.

My kids have in ear headphones and over ear headphones, they use both at the same time, that way they can listen to music/YouTube and hear their friends while playing games.
cafedream t1_issnp5c wrote
I do the same and Iām a 40 year old woman. I listen to audiobooks while I virtually kill shit. Itās a nice way to shake off my work day.
I also listen to an audiobook on my headphones literally all day while working. Helps my ADHD brain to not get distracted as much.
ThsMnkyWntsaWrdWthU t1_isuo7rd wrote
I do this too! Man, one of the best feelings in the world is finding out other ADHD people do the same "odd" things I do to get by/relax. It makes me feel more normal. Thanks for being that person for me today!
cafedream t1_isv8xwg wrote
I used to listen to music and then podcasts. But now I find audiobooks to be the best way to minimize distractions. I also listen while Iām cleaning or doing literally anything that I need to minimize distractions. If I need to concentrate hard on something and the book is becoming the distraction, I turn it off. Otherwise, Iāve got sound in my ears.
My ADHD friends hard core plan and make lists. I just distract my brain so I donāt get distracted. If that makes any sense. š
IHerdYouLiekMudkipz t1_isvdp4u wrote
If you do this on a computer you could pull up your audiobook or podcast in a web browser or application, that way you only need 1 headphones
cafedream t1_isvs32z wrote
I could but thereās something about having the sound come from a different source than where my game is from that helps me concentrate on both. Like I could legit listen to an audiobook and have someone talk to me and itās fine. But if two people are talking in the same room and one of them is talking to me, my brain jumps back and forth and short circuits.

DJSugarSnatch t1_isry9r6 wrote
just throwing this in here, I'd suggest a pair of the Bone-Induction headphones. My wife got me a pair last year and I'm already at two pair. They dont go over your ears, so you can hear conversations in the room (as long as it's not blasting full volume)
My last job gave me a bunch of crap about headphones and in-ear plugs, but for some reason, they couldn't figure out what the new headphones even were... and a super cool bonus? You can wear ear plugs and still hear the music, pretty cool when you have to work with heavy equipment.

Bone conduction?
I had someone think mine were a hearing aid.
DJSugarSnatch t1_istxmxx wrote
actually, another cool part is, you can wear ear plugs and be able to still have a phone conversation... not that they'll be thrilled about all the noise tho.
lipp79 t1_issta60 wrote
Any recommendations on brand for those?
the_ringmasta t1_ist7hxe wrote
Aeropex sound good. Mine keep breaking, but they also keep replacing them in warranty. So, just don't plan on them lasting past the warranty period, which makes them pretty expensive.
lipp79 t1_istcowm wrote
What is causing them to break? Is it daily use? Poor design?
the_ringmasta t1_istm5sy wrote
I use mine a LOT. Almost constantly, really.
I think there's a design flaw, as they all break the same way at the same spot, and combining that with my rough treatment may be too much for them. They may work great for people who don't wear them nearly 24/7.

I'm so much more productive if I'm working while listening to something; podcast, music or audiobook.
If I get bored, my mind wanders.
When my mind is wandering, my productivity drops.
If I'm listening to something, I'm not bored, my mind doesn't wander and productivity is great.
I also have depression and anxiety, so if just left to my thoughts, the bad ones start to seep in eventually.

Wireless Bluetooth ear mic. Looks professional since you're always ready to take a call, only inserts in one ear so you can pretend to listen to people. It's how we do it at my job.

Nah when he said he was working carpentry I pretty much knew he didnāt lose his job. I worked as a framer for half a decade when I was younger. Nothing that is said on the radio could get you fired from a carpentry job. Iām pretty sure I could have told my boss I ass fucked his mom with a glitter covered dildo and not been fired as long as I was there on time and could swing a hammer.

Totally untrue. Construction trade unions operate differently.
I've never been on a jobsite that allows music to be played, it's a safety hazard (although its not usually strictly enforced). Someone can absolutely be fired for a blatant safety violation.
