What middle class? But fair enough. I just can’t help but feel I got shafted when the first president election I was old enough to vote in had trump on the ballot.

Trouble is half of us voted against it and still get to suffer the consequences. I’m not having fun anymore.
Use it or loose it! I used to work with a 72 year old mechanic that could still work like a bull. Better shape than any other 70 year olds I had met. Just gotta remember not to pull too many stupid stunts in your youth…
Go to hobo freight and get a cheap welder and some metal! It ain’t too hard. If you wanna be a pipe fitter or something of the sort you should get some real education, but those guys make way more than most in IT would. I know several pipe fitters that are into the 6 digit pay enough to make me consider leaving automotive…
Lol what do you do for work? Mechanic here that briefly considered computer science- id go insane locked up in an office building all day.
I originally went to college for biochem. Did not want to do the masters just wanted to do my 4 years and get to work. Found out biochem pay is pretty piss poor for the large part and good luck finding a job anyways. Switched to a business major because their easier bullshit degrees that get u better paying jobs than biochem would. Discovered I would promptly suck start a shotgun if I had to sit behind a desk every day. Now I work on land rovers every day and spin wrenches for a living. Don’t chase money, find out what you want your life to look then start to build around that. I make just enough to afford my house, and have access to an incredible shop to build my cars and bikes and jeeps (my hobby) that I couldnnever afford if i had to pay somebody else to do it. I am also able to save thousands every year between wife and I repairs and get vehicles cheaper because I can unfuck ratty cars. This gives me a better quality of living than one may expect from a mechanic. You can’t pick doing something you despise every day or you’ll be miserable forever. If u do what you love for a living not every day will be daisies, and you will grow some amount of distain for it some days. But it sure as hell beat doing something you hate every day for decades.

Did you play it at the time it was released or did u try to go back later? Skyrim was and is a legendary game for a reason, to each their own but in its day it was undeniably the best RPG game in existence and it held that title for years! The story is excellent. Games like this and enshrouded will also never achieve full enjoyment in those that don’t bother reading the game lore. If yo skip all the books and never read any I cans see why you wouldn’t get as immersed as say in the Witcher 3 story where you have more cutscenes fed to you. And don’t get it messed up, witcher 3 is a legend too and probably my all time favourite. But it did not offer me the same replayability Skyrim does. And the last point to Skyrim is it runs good on my potato spec laptop so I can play it on about anything!


Ding ding ding- the commenter your replying to must not be poor to think buying something you cannot use is a good idea 😂😭


Not just water, but holy water. At least now u know ur not a vampire either!


Thing is the same money does regularly get taxed multiple times. You get shafted on money as it comes to you (income tax) and u get shafted on that money once you spend it to (sales tax). Hell I bought a house and will get to pay taxes on that annually for as long as I own it, despite already paying my state and fed govt taxes.


Yes your right I suppose what I’m getting at is the whole give a man a fish saying. Yes for a lot of the homeless that step may be all they need I know homeless with jobs using other people they know addresses for work and bank accts and such but if you don’t have anybody even that step can be insurmountable. Maslow’s hierarchy and what not, shelter and food are pretty much ur most basic needs and anything more is useless without that. Add access to reasonable healthcare and perhaps homelessness could be solved.


Housing the homeless just gets them to stop sleeping on benches temporarily. It helps YOU from seeing the “unsightly hobos” in ur community. It does not solve the core issues that their having a hard time participating in our society, and is a band aid solution. Homeless people either have mental issues that need mended, drug issues that need mended, or have fallen on hard times but still need not only a home but a job to hold down that will pay for their housing and food. If it was as simple as putting homeless up in houses we would have eradicated this issue decades ago if nothing to keep the bourgeoisie from having to see the poors. Without the means to maintain and upkeep their homes they will just end up on the street again in no time.


I have not used open scad or freecad! The thing about fusion that works so well for us at work is we can design prototypes and 3d print them out of plastic, and if the test fit goes well we can then move it over to our plasma machine and cut the parts from sheet stock then weld together to make our component. We also do some more component design (think central inflation systems though wheel hubs) but the more advanced stuff the boss handles. For us to adopt at work I think it would have to have compatibility with fusion 360 as that’s what my boss uses primarily and we have dozens maybe hundreds of design files to cut brackets for engine swaps gas tank mounts control arm brackets you name it. Suppose it’s probably a bit late for us to make any move to Linux, especially considering we just got a 4 axis cnc mill and I don’t think any Linux software will play with that


So rather than use a ready made software that works perfect for designing parts you suggest I build my own software? That is simply not a feasible solution, ESPECIALLY in a business environment lol. Your 2 in one shampoo comparison is kind of irrelevant, this is more akin to suggesting that instead of purchasing a car I design one from scratch! That doesn’t help adoption of Linux in the least, it is in fact the burden that keeps more windows users from adopting.


Can u run fusion 360? We use this software at work for 3d printer and plasma table. Have not been able to find anything that could run both on linux yet.


I used to regularly work 55-60 hour weeks. For a while between 2 jobs then at one. After a decade or so I have a house and work 45 hours a week on average, I keep feeling like I should work more as the bills are still tough but fuck I don’t miss working more than I do. If u have to do it, it doesn’t seem as bad than if you don’t. Perspective matters a lot.


Don’t defy the echo chamber lest you desire the down votes!


Bmw drivers may drove fast and reckless, but at least they are actually holding the steering wheel and looking at the road most of the time. Tesla drivers aren’t even that they just sit there and scroll on their phones. Drives me nuts I’ve laid on the horn next to people watching TV and got a dirty look and a bird followed by continuing their film. They get a nice test of the auto braking on occasion.
If you aren’t absolutely chicken shit it isn’t a problem. Idk I think u should have to get a licence to own a firearm, maybe if you can’t figure out bullet-go-far you can’t fucking own a gun
