The social stuff may be bloat to you, but it helps me to see which friends are online, and let's me join their games or invite them to mine.
There's nothing that epic adds that I care about and I refuse to buy their exclusives, because that encourages them even more to keep doing that.
Steam may not be perfect, but it's pretty damn good. I have enough with GOG and Steam, and don't want to add multiple storefronts to the list of launchers on my PC.
If they offer it on steam and then sell Steam keys on their own website, that should get them the most from each sale...
Press "no tip" and sue them for hearing damage....
Seriously though, as a non American I only tip when the service or food was exceptionally good for the given establishment. People do however get paid a decent salary here, so tipping is optional.
In my workplace, there are a few options: When a disabled person is on a certain floor above ground floor, there will be a special chair they can be put in, that allows one person to maneuver them down the fire escape. Multiple people in the company are trained on the use of this contraption and are notified before the evacuation is necessary.
When there are more wheelchair bound people in the building than there are evacuation chairs available, they'll have to be taken to the fire escape behind double fireproof doors, where the area is pressurized with clean air. There the firemen will evacuate them.
A third option is the area where the elevators are. It closes automatically and has a fireproof door where you can wait in front of the elevators for the firemen to evacuate you using the elevators (or otherwise).
Normally there aren't that many wheelchair bound people in the building that need those chairs, because visitors are normally confined to the ground floor. On a floor where a disabled person used to work (now retired), one of those chairs was permanently available.
Edit: the ones we have resemble these https://evac-chair.com/
Probably because he rides a bike
Damn, Boeing is really on fire lately!
You could start here...
Sync for Lemmy also shows a preview of the YT video.
Of course the metal can support a person. It's not like one side is floating in thin air. The way this is constructed, both sides of each step are supported and the metal seems thick enough to support quite a bit of weight.
The only thing that bothers me is that forward/backward motion of the steps would put a lot of strain on the connection to the wall or floor. With normal use, that motion is quite limited though.
I'm quite confident the designer of those stairs used the right thickness for the material used, which you can't judge from a picture.
That would be too much freedom for the "land of the free".
They do however state that they will add these destinations in October. Will any EU countries still be missing out when those will have been added?
