Any kinda craft. Right now it’s basic woodwork and crotchet.

Must be nice being morally superior to everyone else and lucky to be that privileged.

I see you have chosen the lawful stupid alignment. Good for you.

It’s like some meme version of the Trolley problem where you have millions of LGBT+minorities+Ukrainians+immigrants on one track and a rapist on the other one. Just to test out how far you are willing to hold to your firm stance of never pulling the lever.

I don’t mind the sun sometimes…

Thanks. Here maybe this

This is a small contactor. When that blue center part goes in 1L1 becomes connected to the 2T1 and the same things happens to the other two. Basically I am using a little bit of electricity to flip a switch on or off. Turning on or off the motor.

The blue center part is what I asked him to push in by hand.

Setup solar panels with 99% of it then probably die in an orgy of hedonism with the remaining 6 million.

You might as well ask me what I believe the role of lizard or a bird to be. The measures of its success is how long it lives and how well it did at copying its uniqueness. The state doesn’t exist for humans, it exists because we are capable of getting that particular meme-infection.

This isn’t a value judgement. I could argue all the points of why having a government is better for us vs not having one but I won’t bother because even if I am right it is a post hoc justification that would apply to modern governments not what we have typically had in history.

Now a very good strategy for a state to survive is to make its territory such a nice place it has productive humans and is able to attract more. Given that the pragmatic solution is the highly democratic welfare state.

I drove Uber on Saturday night for a bit over a year. Bouncers were the best. Very polite, sober, and tipped well. It was so predictable to get that hail 15 minutes or so after last call, they get in the front seat and have to pull the chair back.

The very worst: white girl 21 years old with two friends who were the same.

Weird thing about humanity. Large guys paid to be intimidating for a living being super nice, girls with a bodyweight so low I could easily carry them being rude as fuck. Or maybe it’s not weird, maybe if you spend your life being naturally scary just by existing you learn to not set off flight-fight responses.

Dunno know. Got a theory big guy?

You know just because it is true doesn’t mean you have to say it.

I started baking a few months ago and brought my creations into work. Eventually a guy working there brought me on to work very part time making bread for his family restaurant. Really haven’t made much money, it’s just for fun now (yes I do like making custom breads, its a challenge) but I plan to keep with it. I think I can approach the idea of starting a ghost-bakery in a year or two.

Business plan is basically come up with unique items for restaurants with their owners and agree that they are exclusive. I make them a special bread and I don’t sell it to anyone else. They have it, no one else does. I can’t go up against real bakeries and I have no plans to ever even try.

People who care about money don’t become teachers.

You remember the Miracle Worker, right? Did any person finish High School without hearing the name Anne Sullivan?

I don’t think it’s a vast conspiracy, it is just a matter of values. You don’t spend your teen years working at an aftercare program, then six years of higher ed, then at least 5 years hopping from district to district, and finally get a job that pays about half what you should get for a master’s degree to teach kids to make a spreadsheet of their expenses. You do it to teach kids the joy of reading/music/art/math, to reach the kids that the system gave up on, and to nurture brilliance.

water/wastewater treatment careers,

I been saying this for almost as long as I have been in the all-things-waste sector. If you don’t know what to do with your life consider this. It’s a huge field from air scrubbers, to ground water remediation, to industrial scrap, to feces, to recycling, to solvent recovery, to chemical waste processing, to trash incinerators, to pulping equipment, and heck even regular HVAC falls under it sometimes.

Everyone shits and everyone makes garbage. As long as humans are still around someone is going to have to deal with that fact. And if there aren’t humans around you won’t have to worry about a job.

Every working day of my life I choose to make the world a slightly cleaner place, I am harder to fire than a normal civil servant, get paid well, and always have the most badass stories of my friend-group. Most people can’t talk about the time they came up with the ideas to fight a frozen shitberg with a blowtorches for example.

There are a lot of ways to break in. If I was starting fresh I would probably apply for government jobs at a facility, start entry-level, and let them pay to train me. I came in as an engineer at a small contractor.

Tennis? I thought they were talking about the other sportsball, the one where old dudes hit a ball with sticks into a hole
