I work at a college.

Our facilities department went from being under staffed with 10 employees, to having only 3 because everyone retired.

I’m in the trades, so I thought about applying for part time with them as a way to get some extra cash. But even though I am qualified to train people in my trade, I am apparently unqualified to do the work they want. The only listings that have are for people with 15 years experience and engineering degrees.

To primarily change air filters, light fixtures, and swap electric motors.

A summary is useless if it’s not accurate.

What terrifies me is the number of elevators I’ve been in that haven’t been inspected since the pandemic started.

Elevator cables are a consumable, they wear down faster than one would think. And while elevators are fairly safe machines with redundant safeties, I’m worried we’re going to see a big uptick in accidents. And that’s just elevators, I don’t want to even think about all the other infrastructure that hasn’t been inspected in years that could fail at any time. Pumps, backflow preventers, bridges, and dozens of other things need regular inspection and maintenance.

The problem is that they get golden parachutes while the engineer and dozens or hundreds of his peers who has invested years into a “good, established company” gets shafted due to lay offs.

It’s YouTube, there is no line, just a vague squiggle that you can cross without any warning.

Obviously for the local petting zoo

Plus, mammoth burgers

My wife’s car lets you drive up to half a mile without the fob in the car.

As opening moves go, that was pretty bold.

We’re still trying to get people to quit smoking.

If phones killed you, we’d all just have to die

MAD is like 2 men standing in a lake of gasoline, one man has 3 matches, the other has 5, both threaten to use their matches if the other uses his.

Russia is saying they’ll use their matches if the other guy throws a rock at him. The fucking situation is stupid and I hope that my ashes get blasted to a different planet when the bombs go off. I don’t want to even be a part of this stupid planets carbon cycle anymore.

You mean: when an X user finds themselves unable to load the main page, they’ll get frustrated, uninstall the app and leave a review about how it’s broken.

You grossly overestimate the tech savvyness of your average internet user, and their willingness to spend any amount of time or money to fix a minor inconvenience.

How bad is school where teenagers are jumping off buildings to avoid starting the school year.

The US had designs for similar weapons in the 50s.

And then we realized that if we could just level every city on the planet anyway, it doesn’t fucking matter if you have an infinite range, radiation spewing death machine.

But he can still borrow against the value of those shares.

That’s how these parasites afford all their private jets and other insane luxuries. They just pull out loans against the value of their stock holdings, pay accountants to make sure it’s never a problem, and essentially spend their money while keeping it too.

It’s insane, because they essentially never have to pay taxes on anything but their personal income, and then you have grifters like musk who don’t even take salaries and just live off the loans.

So, WWIII by January?

I’m just amazed it wasn’t a dancer in spandex again

My favorite bakery stopped making their bear claws.

It was a cinnamon roll with home made maple frosting.

Now I don’t go there, nothing is the same without my claws.

Unfortunately, erections probably don’t work that well in zero G, although NASA has been neglectful in testing this thoroughly.

…no

Do you not understand how an army works?
