<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://autistics.life/@Uair" class="u-url mention">@<span>Uair</span></a></span> Blahaj are cute and cuddly and lots of computer / electrical engineering nerd types like them.</p><p>But they&#39;re also made of an electrically insulating synthetic fabric which can produce static electricity when it rubs against things, which can destroy sensitive electronics. This makes an OEM blahaj unsafe to have in an electronics lab.</p><p>The ANTISTATISKHAJ will be made of special ESD-safe fabric with carbon fiber yarn woven into it, the same kinds of things that you see lab coats for electronics labs made of (e.g. <a href="https://elimstat.com/product-category/clothing/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">elimstat.com/product-category/</span><span class="invisible">clothing/</span></a>, <a href="https://www.esdanti-static.com/sale-39444219-medical-antistatic-fabric-esd-strip-5mm-99-polyester-1-carbon-fiber-anti-static-work-clothes-fabric.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">esdanti-static.com/sale-394442</span><span class="invisible">19-medical-antistatic-fabric-esd-strip-5mm-99-polyester-1-carbon-fiber-anti-static-work-clothes-fabric.html</span></a>).</p><p>These fabrics are designed to a) not build up static charges when rubbing against things and b) be conductive enough that any voltage that does build up is evenly distributed across the whole surface rather than concentrating at the rubbed area like you get with a balloon or something.</p><p>So the only missing piece is to provide a grounding connection to bleed that charge off to ground to ensure the entire shark is always at 0 volts relative to your work area.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://ioc.exchange/@azonenberg" class="u-url mention">@<span>azonenberg</span></a></span> </p><p>I&#39;m honestly curious, and baffled.</p><p>I&#39;m AuDHD, but never saw the point of fluffy toys. Not even as a kid.</p><p>Now they need grounding?</p><p>There&#39;s something I&#39;m missing about all this. Are all blahaj electrified?</p>

<p>Where should I put the grounding stud on my homemade ESD safe blahaj (ANTISTATISKHAJ)?</p><p>Modeling on a stock ikea shonk because the ESD one is a WIP</p>

<p>1. Replace workers with AI. <br />2. Now instead of wages you pay a company for AI services.<br />3. Despite the likely decline in quality of the work, suppose you become dependent as a company on this service. Suppose you make it work.<br />4. AI is heavily subsidized by venture capital, its priced lower than the cost to provide the service to attract early adopters (and to lock companies like you in.)<br />5. Inevitably the AI bubble bursts, AI services jack up their prices.</p><p>How is paying rent better than wages?</p>
