👋
hi everyone,
I'm starting to work at sudo again (after a very long hiatus) (mostly evenings, 6-12, m-f). I'm currently working on some game, ai and architecture stuff, you can see it here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CelEcmAlsaq/ Very pumped to get back in the space and see what people are working on and doing.
Nonetheless, I have some concerns about the laser cutter. Today, the laser cutter was being used, and, well, it, to my mind, smelled up sudo pretty significantly. I think you could also even smell out in the hall. I guess what I'd like to know is (a.) can we prevent this somehow? and/or (b.) can we have a laser cutter moratorium until we know why this is happening?Â
I could be wrong, but I believe that improper ventilation of a laser cutter can be both long-term toxic and even short term life-threatening (if someone is cutting something really wacky, which I don't think is what was happening today; I think someone was just cutting wood, hopefully not laminated in any weird way).
Anyway, yeah, I have to defer to people smarter than me on the above, but something was off today in the way the machine was working (this was about 6pm); and, personally, I found it kind of spooky. Thanks for your thoughts/help/ideas/etc.
Best,
AK
