      I totally get that, working previously in kitchens and being told to wear gloves…I never did because screw that

      I just assumed that dealing with bombs wouldn’t be a one-time incident scenario.

        … You’re comparing a kitchen (sanitary) to a bomb exploding? Gloves will not protect you from a bomb. Anything that would would be far too large and unwieldly to use when trying to diffuse a bomb.

          Actually not wearing gloves and washing your hands regularly is, I believe, generally bettee for sanitation. There’s a lot of false confidence and shit with gloves, and they cost money and are technically a limited resource. You should always have them on hand, especially for if you get cut and need to wear a bandaid, but washing your hands as needed is totally fine.

          And as it relates to this conversation they have a point in that gloves fucking suck to wear. They’re weirdly sticky and also even tight ones are like wearing loose skin and it just kinda sucks. Again, super great to have around and they can be awesome for some tasks where you just do not want to have to do anything more than removing the glove and rinsing, but the point stands.

              You literally brought it up. I even explained how the other person was not talking about sanitation so that it was clear that it was you who did so. I understood them the first time just fine.

              You’re being, like, turbo-stupid right now. Cut it out.

                  Look I know these threads are wack when we get to deep and memory fails even the best of us, it’s fine.

                  1. Fiivemacs asked about why no gloves.
                  2. You said they needed the fine motor skills
                  3. Fiivemacs agreed with you, citing the kitchen thing(and by extention how they hamper fine motor skills.
                  4. You made it about sanitation, didn’t want to be corrected, and then asked why we were all talking about sanitation.

                  That’s all there is to it.

          In my REPLY, yes I’m comparing wearing gloves, to wearing gloves because they are identical after being explained that they both decrease your fine motor movements.

        I mean when they’re defusing larger bombs the suit wouldn’t help at all, it’s literally do or die
