Lol.

Commentor probably never set foot in/on a mine. I realize the whole purpose is that the lack of noise indicates danger. Cannaries have been replaced by 4 head gas monitors.

If you do actually want to talk mining, though, I'm your guy.

Why do the monitors need four heads?

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Explosive gases, H2S, oxygen and carbon monoxide
