[REQ] ...remove the plastic hardhats

yes you have seen them on merchant crews...the bright blue and green plastic hardhats...only about 30 yrs too early....well funded research and development...right up there with the anti-erosion spikes....but the mouse pad is bug free

What are you talking about? Hard hats were around before WW2. They were in use during the contruction of Hoover Dam in the 1930s.

The first Hard Hat was patented in 1912.

Ah yes, another "historical mistake" found not to be a mistake at all.

I didn't get no mouse pad.

Would that be a "bug"?

Although this is a very pressing issue in need of attention, I believe that there are more things that need to be modified before we can get down to the fine tuning of hardhats and their historical uses.

By the way, I don't believe the widespread use of ellipses came into effect until around 1892.

Just playing.
