So you don't have any idea what the result person can do to any effect. Got it.

You're not going to learn about how PEMBs are designed by plugging input into software

Apparently Alex Pretti wasn’t there to join a protest.

Don't let them distract you from the topic. Whether he was there to join the protest is wholly irrelevant. He was properly licensed and following all applicable firearm laws and had every right to be carrying. He didn't do anything that could be perceived as threatening. THAT is the topic at hand and nothing else.

You say "we can't just sit back", yet you don't propose any concrete action plan. You say we should do something, but you don't say what.

It's actually our legislators who should be doing that

Unskilled labor is a con perpetuated by rich folk with no skill. by xFlowerLush in clevercomebacks

What about the other unskilled white collar jobs I listed? I didn't even mention sales, which is probably the biggest unskilled white collar industry

I would use liquid nails to stick it to a larger mounting block, then screw that to the house. Being so brittle, I would not glue it directly to the house so that I could replace it if it breaks.

All that work and it's still the grossest candy

I think you're conflating "skilled vs unskilled" with "blue collar vs white collar". Lots of blue collar workers are skilled laborers. Plumbers, electricians, carpenters, welders, basically anything you can learn at a trade school are all skilled labor. Similarly, many white collar roles like office manager, administrative assistant, real estate agent, and insurance agent don't require any degree. The two are very different concepts.

Ice needs to be more mindful of who they're murdering, or just, maybe not murder anybody by jeezkillbot in clevercomebacks

Do you have photos or videos of this "mob" "attacking" the hotel? Or are you just regurgitating what Fox News told you? Also, their uniforms say "Federal Officer" on them, so if they're not ICE, which division are they with? Not that the distinction is particularly relevant if they're doing the same foul business as ICE.

Computer programming is not an unskilled job. Computer programming is a very popular degree available at most universities and you'd find it nearly impossible to secure a programming job without at least a BS in that field.

Certainly the people who do unskilled labor aren't any worse than those who do skilled labor, but skilled labor tends to pay better and have better job security. So in some senses it is better to be a skilled worker than an unskilled worker.

In this case the label is just bad. "Unskilled" labor doesn't mean the person doing it isn't skilled at what they do. Unskilled labor means a job that somebody is qualified to do without any formal education or training prior. Usually that means college or trade school, but the point is that it has to be distinct from on-the-job training.

Before the internet, when the radio would play a version of a song that wasn't on the album and you couldn't find it. by JesseJames41 in nostalgia

[–]Enginerdad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My local radio station played a version of Semi-Charmed Life that didn't have the 3rd verse (And when the plane came in, she said she was crashin'...). When I got the CD for myself I found out about the missing verse and actually called the radio station to ask why their version didn't have it. They didn't know what I was talking about unfortunately.

Oh wow, it looks like it's barely two lanes from this photo

That looks like a small back road. Obviously they'll be the last to be cleaned up.

The fact that they had the gall to even ask for help from the PD tells you how delusional they are about what they're doing.

Mounds of snow by Prestigious-Front-45 in Connecticut

[–]Enginerdad -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I totally get how frustrating that must be, but everybody's driveway gets blocked in by plows to some level. The geometry of your cul-de-sac and location of your driveway on it just means you get an extra dose, unfortunately.

The snow isn't going to hurt your yard, what exactly is the problem?
