	~~#Factor e Farm can be an intense environment. Please be respectful of others' needs for privacy, such as the need of others to be left alone.~~
	#HabLab offer privacy and freedom from the bustle of everyday work, and this space should be respected as a quiet space after 11 PM and before 9 AM. On the other hand, the workshop area is a known space of bustle and activity, so do not expect to find quiet there from Noon to 7 PM. During final sprints, the workshop may be active 24/7. When up in the workshop at night or using heavy machinery at nigth, please consider if that disturbs anyone's sleep.
	~~#Members may put up Do Not Disturb signs on their doors, and these signs shall be respected.~~
	~~#No loud music or obnoxious behavior is allowed.~~
