  There are so many issues with this video.

  When using power tools, safety should be your number one concern.

  1. Never use an angle grinder without the blade guard installed. Is it inconvenient at times? Sure. But you know what else is inconvenient? Trying not to bleed to death or being blinded over what should have been a quick and easy job.
  2. **Always wear the proper personal protective equipment (PPE). ** That includes a heavy long sleeve shirt, gloves, safety classes, a dust mask, and a hard hat (especially when cutting poles or other materials that are vertical and have a risk of falling).

  And completely destroying moralle.The in office landscape has completely changed since pre-pandemic. I drive 40 minutes one way to a building where I either get immersed in a project in my cubical on my computer or I sit on Teams meetings. And meetings are virtual first now. Physical attendance optional. Half the time I’m on a call with someone a few cubes up from me.

  Don’t get me wrong. The “virtual first” mindset is great. Most of the corporate world of finally figured out that we can schedule meetings and Outlook even has this really cool feature that allows you to send people invites to said meetings.

  The problem is that there is no legitimate reason that I should have to spend thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours of my time per year to do the exact same shit I do from home but slower, less efficiently, and much less comfortably.

  Hold up. This gives me an even better idea. What if, and this is totally hypothetical, but instead of self driving cars, we used trains to transport people?

  The train could even theoretically transport a whole bunch of people at one time.

  Holy shit. I think we are really on to something here.

  Vette’s are basically just a Chevy small block with wheels and a fiberglass shell. They’re very fast and they corner extremely well with such a low center of gravity. They are a pain in the ass to maintain though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can the state minimum wage be changed by a ballot initiative?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on the state. The last minimum wage increase in Arkansas (my state) was implemented by ballot initiative. Naturally, the Republican controlled legislature began immediately having a collective seziure and scheming harder than ever to hamstring the ballot initiative process.

  Always baffles me that people vote for initiatives while voting for politicians that vehemently oppose those initiatives on the same ballot.

  Cashier: “Oh, nevermind. You’re good.”

  Me: “…Listen here you little shit. You started this whole thing. Now I’m going to show you my ID anyways and you’re going to act surprised like ‘OMG! I could have sworn he was 22! I didn’t even notice his bald spot.’”.

  Well, Budweiser and Busch are both owned by AB InBev. But I guess that’s that level of awareness one can expect from bigots.

  Construction, manufacturing, and other related industries are already experiencing rapidly slowing demand. Tarrifs and the Iran war made a huge dent there. As soon as the “big shot” investors finally realize that they’re going to get nothing more from the AI craze, they’re going to bail and the collapse will be fast and furious.

  Lots of rural healthcare systems in the US have been circling the drain for years at this point so YMMV.

  I’ve served on the board of non-profit daycares and I [vaguely] know at least one person who actually owns a for profit daycare.

  Only a complete idiot would think they were going to make any money on a daycare. The overhead is nuts – even when paying really shitty compensation – and the competition is relentless.
