I don't want to say making shit tons of money as a welder is easy by any means, but you can get hyper specific in that field with all the different metals and alloys so that you're one of a very small number of people worldwide qu

On this note, the data-set available if you start collecting today is tainted with experimental AI content. Not the biggest issue right now but as time goes on this problem will get worse and we'll be basing our simulations of intellig

I mean, what others report to you will be filtered through your sensory organs. What's to believe and what's to doubt? (the mistake of the solipsists is the assumption that they themselves are real)

The problem with bureaucracies is that even if someone did see the bigger picture, no one person is able to change the system to get desirable results. Maybe one or two people could , but they didn't get to that position by rocking th

Yeah it seems so dried out you wouldn't have too much to worry about. As for boiling tea for sanitation, I took a wilderness first responder class and they taught us that you could bring water to a boil at any altitude a human can brea

"Between Silk and Cyanide" was a great book with some very interesting and funny stories from SOE. I recommend it.

I'm still mad about Scholastic censoring His Dark Materials, one of my favorite books as a kid. If you read the censored passage it wasn't in any way offensive or inappropriate. You used to be able to get an uncensored edition fro

There are exceptions depending on what you're doing, but generally speaking 95% of your cordless tools will be one brand.

This isn't a secret in construction, you buy one brand of cordless tools and stick with it. DeWalt sells tools so cheap you wonder if they're a loss leader. A single battery (one of the big 60V, 12Ah ones you use for circular saws

I agree. It's one thing to delegate labor to a machine, but I find myself very uncomfortable when the machine takes the role of creative expression. Art is a form of communication which transmits feeling, experience and emotion, but th

I've been seeing a lot of talk like GP on HN lately. I'm starting to wonder if it's organized.

Not as bad as I expected. The main thing is to not eat super spicy stuff on an empty stomach.

I haven't watched Hot Ones, but I suggest everyone try the Apollo sauce. I got reaaally drunk one night and poured half a bottle into a bag of Doritos, shook it up and ate them all. It was an odd mix of agony and euphoria, I was gettin

It Works For Me!™ Seriously though, compatibility issues seem the exception to the rule nowadays. Getting wifi or display drivers working used to be...challenging, if not traumatizing. You could put that shit on your resume nowadays. "

It's 2023, do people still have driver issues on Linux? Last I had to worry about that was when Ubuntu was <10.xx. It works well on random machines IME for the last two decades almost. (Admittedly, I've done well by staying awa

Can't speak for $250/mo, but I've definitely lived in places where ISP's weren't required to expand in, meaning a big chunk of residents had zero internet options. This wasn't too far out of SEATAC, actually. N

OSHA would have something to say about it, but the Executive Branch would like to keep a muzzle on them to avoid more fallout next election.

Relax, unless the grains were grown next door and you got that batch of corn or flour you'll be fine. Otherwise it's going to be very diluted. There are tons of carcinogens around, East Palestine is the least of your worries unles

Hamachi, now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. I'm going to guess you're in your early- to mid-30's.

I'm fuzzy on details but I remember reading it had some pretty crazy thermal expansion. I think the pilot had to wait quite a while (hours?) before opening the cockpit to give the plane time to cool enough.
