"The residential school denialist movement focuses on spreading disinformation about residential schools and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Their primary method of doing this is by questioning whether there are unmarked graves at various residential schools." Sleight-of-hand denial. Gross.

How hard and how long can you work in hot temperatures? The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health has issued recommended work/rest schedules for different temperatures: www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/2... TL;DR: The hotter the temp, the longer you should rest

Color-coded chart showing recommended work/rest schedules based on air temperature (90–112°F) and workload intensity (light, moderate, or heavy). Rows list temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit, and columns indicate whether normal work is recommended or specify work/rest intervals (for example, 45/15, 30/30, or 20/40 minutes). Cells are shaded from green (normal) to yellow, orange, and red to indicate increasing heat risk, with dark red labeled "Caution." Two example callout boxes explain that at 104°F, heavy work should follow a 20 minutes work/40 minutes rest schedule, and at 108°F, moderate work requires extreme caution because the risk of heat injury is high.
