@white_male @Jim UV corneal burns. Same as you get from welding without a mask.Painful but should heal with no damage.

@DutchBoomerMan @CoQ_10 @Jim @white_male If it's UVC then you would need a welding mask.

@Jim someone there bought some lights off of aliexpress for the show, and they were the room sterilization uvc lights, which don't have good effects on the human body. i haven't figured out if the mistake was their stupidity or the chink vendor just repackaged the uvc lights and sold them as blacklights or whatever. i don't think it's an easy call which is greater, nftbro's stupidity or chinese greed and corner cutting.

The likelihood of either one is basically 50/50.

@Herman_Hetherington @DutchBoomerMan @CoQ_10 @Jim @white_male Ackshually ... doesn't take that much to stop it, so polycarbonate eyewear, (most sunglasses, safety glasses), your eyes would be fine. Also distance due to inverse square law, and exposure time. Just like the difference between where fags were standing in the room during the Demon Core incident:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demon_core#Second_incidentThat's why BoredApefags are pushing that most people not affected, and only barely noticeable to minor symptoms for many who were. About what you'd expect. Normies be shocked at how many of the Demon Core fags lived, and to a ripe old age in plenty of cases. The difference being a mere foot in distance away from some faggot who coughed up their spleen right after. Same kind of shit going on here.

@IRONMANAustralia @Herman_Hetherington @DutchBoomerMan @CoQ_10 @white_male Yeah someone posted another video about all this where the guy went over the technical details which was really interesting. Brought up how it was similar to arc flashes welders deal with and said that usually the eyes recover in a few days and you can get some basic meds to help with the pain until then. Still amazed someone fucked up like this Apparently this is the second time it's happened at a Hong Kong event. I wonder if they used the same supplier as the other event.

@Jim @IRONMANAustralia @Herman_Hetherington @DutchBoomerMan @CoQ_10 @white_male I've heard about this happening at fashion events too. People don't know the difference between UVA, UVB, and UVC.

@Jim @IRONMANAustralia @Herman_Hetherington @DutchBoomerMan @CoQ_10 @white_male I'd say I'm pretty into crypto, but I've never understood the NFT fad. It doesn't make sense, and it seems like everything associated with it is a scam.

@Jim @IRONMANAustralia @Herman_Hetherington @DutchBoomerMan @CoQ_10 @white_male I actually have a lot of experience in events management, so let's talk - BA YC are not an events management organisation, but even if they were - this is an event in Hong Kong, not in their native USA. Events are a huge logistical undertaking and exponentially more for abroad. In my job we have to move trucks and trucks of tech and we don't do sound and lighting systems that large, not even close. While we do own a lot of our tech, we contract out to another tech specialist firm, often local to the event sites we work at, this is for the get-in/get-out stages, with usually someone on hand to operate the tech. An event like this will likely have been put together by a local OEM (On-site Event Manager) who are usually freelancers, along with a local firm for handling the tech side of things. From a technical and branding stand-point the event does look competently put together, however the U.V bulbs screams to me of a lack of Health and Safety oversight, events like this MUST have a risk assessment in place, especially when branded as a U.S firm's event.My guess is this really is the fault of the tech company - likely as a result of some safe U.V tubes failing or breaking in transit, and someone simply looking up local suppliers of UV tubes and getting the first and cheapest ones to fit within the budget with no knowledge of the risks involved - not unreasonable to do if you're not familiar with the danger associated with UV tubes. Then again, we're talking health and safety in Hong Kong, which is not exactly renown for it's health and safety record. tl;dr - local contractors are retards.

@CommandantSwordfish @Jim @Herman_Hetherington @DutchBoomerMan @CoQ_10 @white_male Really? But Dashcon made it look so easy ...Actually I'm interested in the opinion of a someone in Events Management:1. On a scale of 1 to 10 how many ballpits would you rate a fuck up of this magnitude, and the event in general from what you can see?2. Precisely how retarded were those Tumblrfags when they tried to organise their own event from scratch? I'm never seen a professional analysis of that clusterfuck.Also interested in your rating and opinion on other infamous events like Kilroy, and Fyre Fest. Just how big is the chasm between what these idiots THINK needs to be done for an event like this, and what ACTUALLY needs to be done? Like if you laid out all the necessary steps how far do these faggots generally get, problems they run into, etc.?

@Jim @Herman_Hetherington @DutchBoomerMan @CoQ_10 @white_male My money's still on those tubes being around at all because post-WuFlu. They're not the kind of thing a normie should even be getting their hands on, let alone actively screwing around with for just this reason. Just like how you can buy high power laser diodes and if you don't know what you're doing you're in very real peril of winning some very stupid prizes. So normies who don't FULLY grasp the 'muh science' should basically not even buy shit like this in the first place.Though the bulk of actual laser eye damage isn't as certain/dramatic/total/permanent as you might imagine either due to all the variables involved, (notice kids shine lasers at planes all the time, but they don't instantly fall out of the sky). Same as plenty of gunshot wounds are not fatal. Baldwin got pretty unlucky considering your average shooter can't break double digits for the love of trying - even when they're not retarded delusional troons.youtu.be/Oxsb5PMQHiY?t=62

@IRONMANAustralia @Jim @Herman_Hetherington @DutchBoomerMan @CoQ_10 @white_male The event itself looks, by all accounts, competently put together. The event is on brand, and regardless of who and what it's associated with? It could be a lot worse. I've not heard more horror stories come from this, but that could be the over shadowing of the UV all things considered. The magnitude of the fuck-up is a difficult one, because it's difficult to know where the blame will land. For reference, we had to cut a major multi-million dollar event short courtesy of vehicle damage caused by ice, and another year due to most of the cast getting covid. The event in this case went off well, so it's a tech issue, rather than event issue. That said, this does hold the potential for serious legal action. it's a minor oversight that will cost a lot to somebody, easily a solid 8. The events world is a perpetual state of metaphorically putting fires out left and right, you get very little warning of things going wrong, and when they do you need to fix them quick. The bad thing here is there was no apparent issue until after the event was over and done with. Other events continued in next post

@IRONMANAustralia @Jim @Herman_Hetherington @DutchBoomerMan @CoQ_10 @white_male The Tumblr tards were absolutely retarded, you can chalk some of it to lack of experience, however it mainly seems to boil down to lack of budget management, starting off too big, and I would say a huge amount of hubris. There are 3 kinds of events - events designed for profit, events to spread awareness/for fun, and corporate events. For-profit events should NOT aim at making money for the first event, often they run at a loss first year. They tried making a profit. Mistake 1.Events ticket beforehand for a reason, our events open ticket sales 10 months before the events run, mainly so we can strike while the iron is hot seasonally. The problem is they relied on doorsales way too much, but with the lack of things there as well, they got very lazy in looking for vendors. They should have had a list of vendors and potential guests at least 6 months prior and back-ups ready to go. Again first year event rookie mistakes. This is apparent is the near total lack of branding for the con, which was apparently spent on expensive hotels. Take it from me - hotels for events are not expensive, and meal allowances are generally pretty frugal. If I'm being charitable, they started way too big, looking at the cavernous empty rooms attest to that. The event could have been successful on couple of conditions - they had 3 well sold (not sold out) events lined up in different locations with smaller venues perhaps. Off-set costs, gain a reputation, then make the 4th the big one. You need to understand, you don't need any qualifications to be an event manager, but you do need to have a good network of suppliers, vendors, and guests. Events really is one big swirling incestuous ball of calling in favours from other people. Many event managers know each other. (One I work with get cheated on, by her EM Husband with another EM, now no-one in the industry will work with them) They lacked networks, good marketing, experience, started way too big, AND made a huge public fuck-up. Acts pulling out is nothing new, and happens all the time. Dashcon was made worse for not having other things there to make up for it, or divert attention. _________________

@DutchBoomerMan @CoQ_10 @Herman_Hetherington @IRONMANAustralia @Jim @white_male What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.
