5 months agoExtinguishers wouldn’t do much, but you may mean fire sprinklers, but that’s probably never going to be installed. You’d have to inspect, test and maintain that system, and who wants to invest time and money in that.
I’m a birder. Lots of birds were named after people…Scott’s Oriole for example. You may think a guy named Scott discovered the bird, but nope, just a friend of the guy that did. Scott wasn’t a good guy according to history (re: killing native Americans), so there’s a big committee that’s going to rename a ton of birds that have eponymous names. The birding community is very split on the topic and it’s interesting to see the drama.
