I got a wool blanket. I’m sure there’s away to fold/drape into a cloak.

Just looked into it. just need a pin!

The prices are high over here as well, when the interest rate drops again I’ll look into taking a HELOC or refinance. I’m trying to put as much money into the principal as I can in the mean time.

Mine too! There’s slight water damage to the bottom kitchen cabinets and wooden floors, that we can for too fix, as water slowly leaked down the walls, but at least we got new roof, windows and doors.

I guess I should count myself lucky everything is expected in be turned in as a PDF and Google docs is used for everything else. The anticheat recognizes it’s running on a VM and throws and error.

I bought a cheap laptop for school just to run their windows anti cheat crap. Do you have to run something similar?

If you put the holes about 2 cm up on the sides you get the juice contained while still getting air flow.

There are a lot more jobs in the medical profession than doctor or nurse. It’s indoors so climate controlled. There’s 2 yr programs that start out around 60k a year.

Helped change a water heater at my parents place. Got quoted 1k in labor. Took us a little less than 2 hrs of actual work to do it. Had to buy new flexible connectors and Teflon tape. Possible fire or water damage is no joke so i understand the hesitation to DIY, but the work is pretty straight forward.

Trades are absolutely a viable option. There will always be a need.

Good, don’t forget about Estonia and Latvia you fuck.

Great grandpa was a woodworker, there’s been at least one in every generation, and some how got a hold of a late 1800s or early 1900s Stanley No.1 plane. I think it sells for around 2k to 2500. Its got wear, but it still works just fine.

I rarely use it, but it’s something that’s been in the family for over 100 years. I do a little woodworking, mostly utilitarian stuff like boxes and shelves, but I’ll never sell it. 3 generations of people used it to make a living.

I read somewhere they have trouble hiring hackers because they ask if they’ve ever done drugs including weed and it’s an automatic deal breaker for the old farts running the hiring process. Also the pay is shit compared to what they can make in the private sector. I guess leaning on patriotism isn’t working anymore.

Want to change the oil? Good luck! the filter is behind the engine and right next to the exhaust cause fuck you. At this point I’ll look at getting a roller and doing an EV swap.

Work in a hospital, not a nurse. Usually nurses bring meds with water and hand then to the pt. They either check on the lines, pumps, etc or chart for a minute or two. Then ask if there’s anything they need. By then they usually have taken the meds and the RN leaves. There’s only so many times you can tell a pt why they need to take them. I work with psychiatric pts and usually, if they refuse the RN just notes that they refused.

In the 2000s: this new lithium ion tech stuff sounds great, but it takes forever to charge, costs too much, and doesn’t charge fast meaning we need to buy another battery to charge.

My phone today charges from 10% to 85% in like 40 minutes and gives me about 8 to 10 hrs of use. In that time I’m sure I’ll be near an outlet to recharge.

They said the same thing about solar panels, the electric car, cell phones. Hell, the president of IBM said the world only needed 5 computers. Discoveries don’t mean an immediate push to the public.

Actually, discovery to implementation to market goes really damn fast now. Engineers used slide rulers, paper and pencil, and clay models to design back in the day. It would cost millions of dollars and 10 years. My cousin 3D prints stuff to see if it will work, then CNC if he needs durability. He doesn’t have a degree, he just likes to tinker. Imagine what manufacturing will be like in 10 to 20 years.

Huh, I thought a space instead of a coma or period was the standard. Ex: 1 000 000

We sell cigarettes, but if we were you we wouldn’t buy them.

I just got it and now figuring out all the settings. The internal ad skips or whatever it’s called are gold.

I’ve heard of it, but havent tried it yet. It hasn’t been enough of a problem for me to start looking, but, looking at it now, this just might be what I need. Thanks

I’ve noticed that some videos randomly won’t start with Firefox on Android. I have to fast forward and then it will load. I’m guessing it’s trying to play an ad, gets blocked, and just retries instead of starting the video. Eventually theres gonna be an add on that automatically starts videos 5 seconds ahead to avoid the opening ad all together.

Walking is much lower impact. IMO you should be fine.
