That was my hesitation as well. My kid is young, didn't want to start that sort of thing early - he has no idea what the military is right now, only thinks guns are for hunting. They do say "Jake is a navy seal" but it doesn&

For the parents out there, there’s a really good book aimed at 5-13 year old kids on this topic. Honestly I think it’s good for adults who haven’t sorted it out either. Specifically, self discipline vs imposed discipline, and how self disci

you are moving the goalpost here. good luck finding a job paying well that's not a trade or a technical job requiring a college degree. grew up blue collar, still spend plenty of time with blue collar folks. just like there are fat unh

or go into one of the many trades that pay north of $100k with no college education and just provided on the job training. trades right now that are struggling to find applicants.

Work does give you homework, it's just the self-selected kind. The people who excel and get ahead at work are the ones who recognize this and do the extra work. Whether that's educating themselves so they can make a career move, o

Depends on your metric. It’s perfectly reasonable to think that Kansas is doing better than Missouri because more people are able to lead the life they want. There are other metrics beside “least fatalities” to factor.

No requirements, no tests. There's a bunch of stories of indoor gun ranges being horrifically contaminated, due to lead from the primer compounds when ignited + vaporized lead from the back of the bullet (back of the bullet is almost a

Policy makers, journalists, and educators tend to use twitter pretty extensively. What happens on twitter affects the worldview of just about every journalist out there. Don't like the current ideological capture of journalism on both

Thanks, I really enjoyed reading your response. I think there are huge wins to be had in compensation and work environment, without painting all low skilled jobs as demeaning, or without saying the equivalent of "they should make more

I am referring to both thermal efficiency, and power to fuel ratio. Meaning, for any given amount of work needed, a two stroke will produce more work for the same input of fuel as compared to an equivalent quality/design four stroke mo

by anonfornoreason 5y ago
Nit pick, apologies up front. Two stroke motors are actually more efficient than four stroke motors, they just emit a bunch of pollution due to the oil in the gasoline, which is a much dirtier combustion than gasoline. A two stroke motor is

Definitely was not treated like garbage. Obviously not all entry level jobs treat people well (or even fancy jobs, ever read a comment thread on being a software dev for Amazon?), but just because jobs are low pay does not mean they are exp

Thanks for a well reasoned response. I too am always blown away at the comments here when it comes to labor. I think the reality is that most people making these comments didn’t have to build themselves up to where they are, and they have s

I loaded trucks earlier in life for a few years and loved it. Shit pay, hard work, good camaraderie, very satisfying end result. Would I want to do it for a career? No way. Did I learn a ton about the pleasures of hard work and a good team?

Or, the fact that you don't really know a particular gun fits you until you buy it and use it for a decent period of time. I have 6 different semi-automatic pistols because it's hard to find the right fit. Personally, it takes me

If you look at police shootings, the bulk are police killing people brandishing guns or other weapons, who express intent to or are in the process of using those weapons on either the police or other people. The vast majority of these incid

Just imagine what a whole generation of kids will grow up to be like as a result of the social changes that have played out directly due to the pandemic. Definitely a large inflection point. Maybe the changes will be subtler but I would be

Sorry I might have been confusing you, I was only referencing the reverse calculation of current mobile devs on team. We would hire four people, maybe five, and distribute some to mobile some to backend. I would absolutely take all the savi

It’s more about what our annual app fees to Apple are, 1.2mm. We have diverse revenue streams so the correlation between Apple revenue and salaries isn’t apparent.

Not advocating for anything here, just pointing out (what seem to me) logically comparable things.

by anonfornoreason 5y ago
Not financially (we wouldn't lower prices), but I would immediately start to hire 4 more developers if they went from 30% down to 5%. Lowering prices increases the number of jobs available, and the only cost is that Apple loses some am

I own one of these and it's past ridiculous, and it's purely cosmetic. Yes the vehicle is large, but the styling is clearly responsible for a solid 6-12" of that height. Unfortunately if you need a vehicle to tow heavy loads,
