It really is! I ran out of ammo yesterday when I was shooting up an Oklahoma daycare center. Walked across the street to the Walmart and got another 50 rounds of 7.62 from the vending machine. I was back to shooting toddlers in like 5 minutes flat! So convenient!

Gluten intolerant person here. It’s like any other allergies where it runs the gambit. Most of us only have digestive issues if we eat it. Very rarely however, people will have the thing where they will just fucking explode into hives if someone breaks out a piece of bread in the same room as them. Just like peanut kid in elementary school.
Either toss my ass in a dumpster or give me a sky burial. No exceptions.
Nah I’m like this too. Take it one thing at a time. I also recommend the Adam Savage method of buying tools: Buy the cheapest tool you can and if you use it until it breaks, only then do you buy a quality tool since you clearly use it a lot.
It’s really only undergrad that’s usually uber expensive. My wife is getting her master’s for like $10k/year and her company is paying for half of it.
Meanwhile our undergrad was like $40-50k/year with no help.
Also this average is probably averaging current balances, not total disbursement.
All this hardship and money just so they can build a giant glass box in the middle of the fucking desert. Anyone whose spent like 5 minutes in a greenhouse will tell you why that’s a bad idea for a city.
For a fun prank, pour out a small drop of Nitroglycerin and smack it with a hammer to scare your friends. :^)
Get Michelin Cross-Climate tires. They’ve got a really different tread design that makes them true All-Weather tires that aren’t dogshit in the snow and rain.
This is nothing new from Tesla. My parents have a Model 3 and they can’t use a car wash at all with it. Hand wash only.
Can someone with a legal background explain to me how a law written before the state even existed is somehow considered more legitimate than current law?
Why do companies even buy ads in this space? There’s so many spots in our society where ads are just being injected to play for nobody. At what point do they figure out that it’s not worth the return on investment to put ads in those spots?
Not OP but I work in a similar environment (special heavy rail equipment). In our shop we have lots of tradesman: plumbers, mechanics, welders, electricians, etc.
Generally they are broken up into small teams, handed a set of prints, a kit of parts, and told to build the thing to the print. It’s not like an assembly line where you’re tightening one bolt all day, it’s more like building different Erector sets all day and handing them off to the next team.
Low stakes, high pay, good benefits, regular hours, low monotony. If higher Ed is not for you, I’d look into something like this.
I’ve been following your journey with this and I feel for you. I have mystery GI problems too (not as bad though) and my experience is that it’s nigh impossible to get a proper diagnosis for GI things because they all have the same batch of symptoms.
They threw the book at me, full colonoscopy, CAT scans, blood work, stool tests, etc. More than a year and $4000+ later the best I got was “Idk bro, good luck”.
I wound up doing an elimination diet on my own and found what foods trigger my issues. No real diagnosis beyond blanket IBS though.
Hope you find your answers.
You’re completely right. Many people are about to get totally financially ruined at a minimum. There’s going to be a lot of climate refugees from these areas who’ve lost everything.
Insurance rates are the true Canary of Collapse. If the money men have calculated that certain areas are going to quickly become unlivable, then people should listen.
Of course it’s not trivial to just pack up your life and move but it’s about to become super necessary, unfortunately.
I see your thinly veiled Hanlon’s Razor and counter with Clark’s Law: “Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.”
That was actually the coolest year of the rest of your life.
Capitalists: design society to be exceedingly hostile towards raising kids
Also Capitalists: “How come nobody wants to birth new workers for me anymore? 😰”
You can lead someone to knowledge but you can’t make em think.
