Ten years of self-taught tinkering before I took a job. No other formal training. I wasn't particularly better after 10 years than I was after 5, so it was more a matter of taking the job than building my skillset after some point.

I'm currently losing weight. 40lbs since Thanksgiving. I drink about 2L per day of diet soda, which is my only fluid intake.

This happened when my father worked at the same factory, so it was all the way in the 60s. My father passed up on the same job because he didn't think it was worth the raise. He's the one that tells the story--the entire thing was

I pay $75/month for 10mbps upstream, 1mbps downstream DSL. That's the advertised speeds, I get lower speeds in practice. I'm not complaining. I'm happy to have those speeds as I live in a very rural area (South/Midw

As a counter-anecdote, my grandmother is still alive: she was born in 1918. She just voted for Trump, to give you an idea of where she stands politically. She coped with it by scrimping and saving every penny. She literally washes saran wra

You're assuming if you're not working, you're not productive. I have hobbies like woodworking, gardening, homesteading, camping. Many of those are productive, and I'm seldom bored. It's also okay to enjoy your work,

Yeah, but then you're just guessing at the orientation of the board, so it's still anyone's guess.

I agree, stick with something. I always found that I could get my lifts in in about 45 minutes. It can be slower with a partner if their weight is very different from yours, because you're moving weight on and off a lot the bar, but ou

What kind of burning out do you mean? Mental? I have used the 5x5 program and while I'm not here to endorse any particular program, I found that I really liked it. It did help me learn proper form, as you say, and it also gave me a ver

FWIW I don't think he's asking how to find a problem that his already-built solution solves. He's asking how people found the problem they ended up working on.

I can't speak for the guy you're replying to, but I'm also curious what harm you're afraid of, mostly so that I can also be afraid of it. Definitely not the "nothing to hide" stuff as I'm very pro-privacy.

I "buy" rolls of change at the bank constantly. I also turn in unrolled change, which they count for me. (I own machines that take quarters) I've never paid a penny extra for the rolls, and my bank does the coin-counting for

First of all, I'm willing to bet that you are, indeed, a good programmer. I say that as a programmer who is in all likelihood a pretty average programmer (I don't have a huge amount of comparative experience to know for certain).

That seems a lousy way to kill an animal. I saw a video (which I won't link to you, as I'm certain you don't want to see it) of a phenomenal on-site butcher, he was incredibly precise, fast, etc. Anyway, the video starts with

I absolutely, 100% would not volunteer to go through a "horrible torture." I certainly wouldn't do it for "a game." I don't think I would do it for any amount of money or other benefit, either. What you're

We're probably off-topic by now, but do you also believe that demand for meat products causes a net increase in joy/enjoyment (whatever you call the opposite of suffering)? For instance, I keep chickens and let them free-pasture u

I drink more than 2 liters per day as a remote tech worker, so I can definitely agree here.
