I haven’t experienced any bugs that I can recall, but I was disappointed with Death Stranding too.

I was so hyped up because I love the Metal Gear Solid games so when I heard that Kojima was creating a new IP and it was going to have a great cast of actors supporting it and it was based on a post apocalyptic world where ghosts are attacking people, I was vibrating with excitement.

Then I found out that it’s a walking simulator about delivering packages.

Ok, maybe it’s still good?

Well it’s all good and great in some ways and check off almost all of the boxes you would expect from a AAA game, except one. It’s just not fun or relaxing or challenging or interesting. I put it down halfway through and I can’t remember who/what/where/why, so now I have to start over or be lost.

It’s just so damn tedious and there’s no sense of satisfaction. Tedious is work and I get plenty of that at work.

He’s entitled to is a hard kick in the ass as he leaves office

It’s important to everyone, but it’s not so important that we should ignore pedophiles having sex with kids.

Interesting because all of my first aid instructions say not to slap people on the back. Why should I believe this over instructors and doctors?

TLDR-

North Korea sends troops to Ukraine to fight/die for Russia. Tells them that if they are captured then they must commit suicide or be labeled a traitor. Some soldiers fail to properly kill themselves and are captured.

The question now is what to do with them. If they return them to NK then they will probably be tortured and executed, if they grant them asylum in Ukraine or South Korea then NK may use that as an excuse to increase hostility. Geneva convention requires that they return them to NK.

The best is when you send an email and they reply in a chat or don’t reply all. Makes my spidey sense tingle

I always send meeting minutes so I can remember what we talked about and to prove that expectations were clearly communicated or an email to prove that I communicated that there’s a serious issue and forces someone to acknowledge it.

Now he’s trying to prove that his supporters can turn against him and they still can’t touch him.

Blue collar (blue coveralls class) is just a derogatory term to describe someone that doesn’t wear a white collar (business suit class) to work. But it sorta turned into a badge of honor by the blue collar class over the years, but it’s meant to be an insult by the white color class.

It has nothing to do with skilled or non-skilled labor or education, it’s supposed to be an insult based on the clothes required to wear to work.

Yeah you’d probably have a bad day in America too. I think the person asking the question just doesn’t know what blue collar or skilled labor means.

But does it require skill to do the job or does skill just make a person better at the job?

A plumber can’t be a plumber without years of training and experience. There is no apprentice dishwasher or master dishwasher, just about anyone with two hands and willing to stand in one place for hours can do the job. I washed dishes at a fast food deli for three months for a summer job in highschool. It’s thankless hard work but it was mindless work and required no skill, I washed dishes zoned out and on autopilot most of the time. I’m sure there are skilled dishwashers that can was them the fastest or cleanest, but washing dishes doesn’t require skill, it requires work ethic, it requires completing the task of washing the dishes. There’s no 100 other tasks required to do or learn before becoming a dishwasher.

If any functioning human can walk in and do the job then it’s not “skilled” labor. Having a good work ethic doesn’t equal skilled labor.

“Skilled” labor is someone that spent years honing their craft and making a complicated “job” look like a simple effortless task because they spent years learning how to do it and perfecting it, hours of prep and planning. That’s is “skilled” labor.

True and I’ve thought about it, but it’s nice when these things are built into the design of the vehicle and isn’t just tacked on. It gives a since that it’s meant to be there.

Little addictions.

Addiction is a real problem and incredibly hard to diagnose. I’m not talking about drugs, I’m talking about those little additions that subtly sublimely control nearly every decision in your life. Addiction to caffeine, sugar, social media, TV, driving too fast, being an asshole, being a complainer, etc.

There’s a lot of reasons why we do what we do or why we think we do them but for the most part it’s about chasing those bits of dopamine. But chasing them can lead to some very destructive behaviors.

Better.

I have a good paying job, wife, not addicted to drugs, own my house, own 2 cars, have 2 kids, 2 dogs, 1 cat, 4 ducks, I don’t weigh 300lbs, saving for retirement, living within my means, and everyone is mostly healthy.

I just hope my government doesn’t screw it up for me and my kids.

I put an android auto radio in my 17yo truck and a 1500w inverter, only things I wish I had was heated seats, heated steering and 4x4.

I would love to get a new truck with these features but I’m concerned that getting those few things would mean having to deal with all of the bullshit of modern cars. Plus spending twice as much as I paid for my current truck that still essentially just moves me from point A to point B is a tough pill to swallow.

Fuel with ethanol will go bad if it sits stagnant for a long period of time. As long as you are driving the car around or using fuel stabilizer, it should be fine.

Based on my interpretation of the article the Porsche plug in was so bad that it skewed the study, it used 85% more fuel than all of the other cars in the study. But it doesn’t surprise me, it’s not the first time Porsche (Volkswagen) wasn’t very trustworthy with their fuel stats in recent years. Something else was that the less expensive the car, the better it was on fuel economy, seems logical once you think about it. The more sensible the car the more likely that buyer is to be concerned with those types of stats.
