What is SEA to you? South East Asia? Seattle? A boat?

That’s just a strange godzilla comes to town

I work is a loud environment, and didn’t take it as seriously as I should’ve, and just wore regular earbuds because I wanted to be able to listen to music over the noise of the machinery. I don’t have it as bad as either of those cases you mentioned, but definitely noticed that I couldn’t hear as well by my mid 20s, and it takes very little background noise to prevent me from being able to following a conversation.

Now I am pretty good about wearing earplugs, and have bone conduction headphones that I can use with them, and the sound comes through clear even at low volume with the ear pro in. I would highly recommend them if that is part of anyones hangup around wearing ear pro.

This is defintely the direction I am looking for! I didn’t realize qmk supported mouse sensors!

I had an Alias 2, and it was the best phone I’ve ever had

Who does?

No way in hell.

Idk that I would ever build exactly this, but I defi itely want to see / read your build retrospective!

Its just a microcosm of how being poor is really expensive, while there are tons of ways to save money while wealthy. That doesn’t end up being the cause of wealth inequality but it does give a certain inertia to those class positions.

Edit: because I misremembered the quote and vimes does present it that way.

Functioning society /= America is kinda the point of the original comment.

Soldering something like this would probably be fine, even just bending it into position would probably be durable enough. For something a little lower investment than welding tho this would probably be a good low stakes project to learn brazing.

In the air they are highly survivable long range bomb trucks, that all these ones had to be destroyed in drone attacks on the ground is kind of evidence of that.

The US has used its strategic bombing forces for non nuclear attacks extensively as well, including known use of the B2 against the Houthis and B52 against IS in Syria.

Lots of manufacturing operations are terrible to work for, but there is a general gap in the manufacturing labor pool in the US. I’ve worked at a handful of different shops over the years, and most places I’ve been have offered decent bonuses for recruitment referrals because they struggled to find people. Even the places that paid decent and were aright to work at.

I’ve had a lot of wildlife encounters, including bears, wolves and moose, but seeing a wolverine is the only time I’ve ever removed the safety from my bear spray, and one of the few times I’ve started to psych myself up mentally to fight an animal.

Luckily it was pretty much a non story, I was hiking up a forest service road in western Montana on the Pacific Northwest Trail, and heard a noise behind me. I turned to see what looked like a 4ft tall badger trundle out of the bush about 40 feet back. It kinda stood or sat up on its back legs and we locked eyes for moment as I drew and readied bear spray. The moment passed and it slumped back to all fours and just ambled away down the forest service road away from me.

Trades did well for me, and financially nearly all my close friends who went trades are doing better than nearly all my close friends who went to college.

Oh that’s what’s freaking them out?

Does this even matter?? The chilling effect of 245% vs 145% or even 45% has gotta be pretty marginal.
