We had a big tsunami some time ago, not sure if it improved the situation in those regions today. We also just had a big earthquake in Türkiye

Also took a freaking pandemic to have employers implement smart working, I wonder what will be the next catastrophe that pushes forward a big improvement for humanity?

Reply to comment by DoucheCanoeBruh in TIL that a typical fire extinguisher only lasts seconds while continuously being sprayed. A 20 pound extinguisher can only be sprayed for 25 seconds. by rtpkickballer
I'm a volunteer fireman. I'm also simplifying, but you usually don't need to spray a continuous stream of powder, bursts take away the oxygen and cover the burning surface. In addition to lasting a bit more, of course
Then again, there are a few misconceptions about fire extinguishers that come from films and movies: they're effective on small fires, to choke down a fire at the beginning, once the fire catches, you need other ways to fight it. And a lot of fires what can be extinguished with an extinguisher can be choked with a fire blanket. Which isn't as exciting to show in a TV show xD

Point is, you shouldn't use them continiously, they're meant to be sprayed in single, short bursts
