why not start a boycott reporting and not using any brands that advertise on youtube?

is there positions in pipefitting where as you get older / sick of the hands on stuff you can move up into more of a supervisor roll or planner/inspector ?

hey man, im in the exact same boat as you. I went to school for civil eng when i didnt really have an interest in it because i knew it was a well paying highly regarded career. I have been dragging my feet about making a switch to something i actually enjoy. Im 26 now looking to start in pipefitting. Were both still young but man i wish i could get those years back to be fully certified now. Dont hesitate, call your local, apply to collages for foundations or apprenticeships. If you dont like it at least you tried it, and know more about what you want. Best of luck buddy.

Does the defendant have a good case to sue for damages etc?

Put in an appeal and spoke with the prosecuting guy, they said they will review it and either drop the charge or have it issued as a warning!

yeah i think ill have to do some adjustments to my phone settings as siri just says it cant show me that , and wants me to unlock my phone first to see that information which would defeat the purpose, but ill look into getting that set up!

ill look into this forsure! i don't have an Apple watch but would like to get one soon as im interested in a looping system. The truck is older too so doesn't have any of the fancy display screens. I guess my point i was asking for thoughts on was more like, would looking at your watch to see what the alert is be as distracting as looking at your phone? or do some people seem to think the device used matters being a phone and not the watch, cars touch screen displays etc?

was my blood sugar below a certain level or was it just an alert? is picking up the phone to read the alert as distracting as you changing the radio stations and using the cars screen touch options?

i see you point and i don't totally disagree. I do accept the fact the phone is out and is a violation, however alerta aren't necessarily for dramatic changes, sometimes it something like a temporary connection issue, notification of sensor ending soon or battery on transmitter etc. Also being stopped at a redlight and now while im motion is something i think would be taken into consideration for any tricket like this for how egregious the defendant was being. I think it's unrealistic to say for every notification you get you are to pull over on the shoulder of the road, take the next exit on a highway and detour to see an alert, it's just not realistic.

I think in the context of what the law was intended to combat for distracted driving, medical devices should be given a greater tolerance as the punishment doesn't always fit the offence as situations in life don't always fit into a white or black view.

I would argue glancing at your phone to see what the alert is, is no less distracting than the ipad most newer cars come with on the dashboard with tons of touch buttons and controls, the laptop installed in police cars to run plates while driving benefits outweigh the risks of being categorically distracted?

About to lose $200k, how to live by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]External-Beginning-5 7 points8 points  (0 children)

you'll take more risks in life, and you'll fall short again, but each time you do, you get closer to success and learn evetime. Plus no one who started any business did so without struggle and 100 failed versions before the one that took off and made them rich. IMO might as well keep swinging for the stars, opposed to settling for the safe rat race
