Spotted on a Health and Safety poster, and again my mathematical mind betrays me.
Quoting:
"Safe use of projectors :
Avoid staring directly into the projector beam at all times."
I avoid spending all my time staring into the projector. I stare at it occasionally, here and there, now and again, but I don't stare into it "at all times".
So ... is that OK?

@ColinTheMathmo@mathstodon.xyz Needs braces: Avoid {staring directly into the projector beam} at all times. versus: Avoid {staring {directly into the project beam} at all times}. It's probably the result of someone reading "Don't stare at the projector beam, even if it's not on, because someone might turn it on while you're staring at it, and then you'll be hurting for a while, and may become temporarily or permanently blind", and saying "make it more punchy".
