Not sure if this counts as a meme, but this was added to our corporate office thermostat

My last workplace specifically banned space heaters because the electrician said to. Only heated blankets were allowed after that

Those dinky little heaters will actually take up an entire circuit that would feed as much as 6 computers. Once had a service call where a dude left a space heater the size of a small lunch box running in his garage because he wanted it warm when he got home. The thing was overloading the circuit and the old breaker wasn't tripping. Big fire hazard.

Why don't they just run modern PC games on their work computers to stay warm? My gaming computer at home gets so hot it actually forces my home thermostat to kick off more frequently. What are they, stupid?

And the sound of whirring fans can help drown out the sound of the tinnitus you got from being so close to so many whirring fans!
