I once drove 6 hours (3 to get there and 3 to get back) to turn a printer off and then on again for a customer who refused to touch it at all.
I even told him I’d charge him the emergency rate and for a minimum of 8 hours. He was undeterred. It was easy money, but that day trip SUCKED.
Probably a silly question, but have you tried listening to classical music? If you only care for piano, you can find a lot of competitions intended for solo piano.
I used to live in a trailer park before I got a place in the suburbs. Most of the people there were hard-working, honest people who were just trying to get by.
I’m glad I moved from there, but I admired how the folks there were just happy to have the simple things. A nice beer, friends and family, some country music, and a friendly dog running around was all they really needed to have a good weekend.
I’ve found that a lot of stuff listed on Amazon is about the price of shipping higher than it is on eBay I guess to account for the free Prime shipping. If you don’t have Prime, there really isn’t much reason to not use eBay since you’d be getting doubly screwed without the free shipping on Amazon.
A shortage of engineers willing to work for Musk-led companies, maybe. Tesla is well-known in tech circles to have awful work culture. You can only survive with high turnover like that for so long before most American engineers know that there are much greener pastures.
Very much this. Democrats largely saw big wins for state-wide elections in my state (North Carolina). Yet, Trump took the electors, implying that there were people who voted for Democrats locally but not for Kamala. I know people on this site like to say that MAGA is what America wanted, but I think the support is tentative at best. If a good choice from Democrats emerges, they can definitely sweep.
I found out about this case through the chubbyemu video. Not sure how much of this was embellishment, but the way it’s explained in the video is that the pasta was left out for a couple days, then thrown into the refrigerator by a roommate who didn’t know it was probably bad. The guy then took out a portion of the pasta, completely unaware that it had gone rancid. Definitely a more believable mistake (although still pretty irresponsible of the meal prepper).
Same, except from the pipe for me. A nice high quality tobacco from my favorite pipe really hits the spot sometimes, plus it makes me feel classy as hell.
Hot take: AITA (and even moreso those “Reddit Stories” channels on TikTok and YouTube) is just The Jerry Springer Show for Gen Z.
Oh believe me, even though I thought it was a good read, I have a lot of criticism for the story. God forbid literally any kind of emergency happens and additional fuel is needed to avoid catastrophe. I get wanting to maximize space for supplies, but the risk far outweighs the benefits of operating on such tight margins.
!Yes. She goes willingly after learning her brother is on the colony that the pilot is sent to bring supplies to. The pilot allows her one last video call to him before she is jettisoned.!<
Wait, isn’t Dr. Frink married?
I can tell you from experience that there’s a 90% chance she absolutely was trying to draw you in to sell you something
Does it taste like spam? Where did you find it at? I’m not even sure I’ve seen this at specialty stores around here.

Same deal here. I went to a college party with an acquaintance and he did a line for the first time while we were there. He made SUCH a fool of himself the whole night. I’ve been deterred ever since. I never want to lose complete control like that ever.
The invite finally came through! Thanks a bunch!!
I did automation work for a sewage treatment center that did regular water testing as part of treatment. Most of these kinds of jobs are automated for the most part. There’s always a human operator present to supervise and to do some small function that is still cheaper to have done manually instead of by machine.
I’ve been using it since the execs at my job have been pushing engineering hard to pick it up. Like any tool, it’s useful sometimes but not all the time.
The line-by-line recommendations are generally helpful and it’s great at small tasks such as writing shell scripts or generating boilerplate for a new project. It almost never gets anything right the first time, and you have to keep telling it that it’s wrong for it to fix all of the problems.
For fun, I did ask it to fix something with my codebase that genuinely had me stumped. It came up with a very convincing solution, but it didn’t work at all. So yeah, it tends to fall flat for hard problems.
For all the AI hold-outs here, please be aware that Copilot Enterprise provides very granular details of Copilot usage per user to your leaders. i wouldn’t put it past any company to factor that into the next layoff decision when it comes time.
