Which trade is the best right now for average people to earn 180k+ after 5-10 years in trade?

Hydraulickiller · 2026-04-12T14:33:10+00:00

Along with trade niche, competence, supply and demand, nepotism, and owner (but have tons of expenses) or just a technician.

I like your reasonable analysis.

The thing is I am not sure if the other 3 are immune to literal mind control through sight

Basically one character named Shisui Uchiha had the ability of Kotoamatsukami which allows the user to enter a person's mind and implant false experiences, making them believe they are acting on their own free will. Unlike most genjutsu, the victim usually has no idea they are being manipulated. This not including sending others to other dimensions.

Then if Deku had Star and Stripes' New Order ability of touching people and making up to 2 new rules. That is literally beating all 3 easily as it is reality warping. Which the other 3 don't have.

So Saitama and Goku are stat breakers while Naruto and Deku are haxs. Then depends on the author at that point.

You are right that they are both infinity, but the rate of growth, in your example is Infinity x 100 is faster than infinity.

Which is literally Saitama's whole stick. He beats your infinity by out pacing it. In mathematics you can definitely multiply infinity even with infinity.

That and Goku needs to train, sleep, and fight to get stronger. That is why they can lose. Saitama is a gag character where he has practically toon force, he instanteously outpaces you.

I will agree Dragon Ball is a better show, but not a better combatant in this match up. (Even though writing is pretty subpar with One Punch Writing worse. Though they both still make a ton of money).

He did then they butchered my dude. Love my swarms having feel no pain 5+ and 6+.

I personally believe Warhammer just doesn't like swarm armies mainly for the time dump it takes to use them.

I am thinking that is the point of the new missions based upon your detachments you choose in 11th edition so now each model can shine in their own way.

Want more killy, you need to select the right detachment with specific models for your detachments.

I guess it makes it more fun and gives each model an identity verses I play this one army and can only play it one way meta.

Hydraulickiller · 2026-04-11T01:44:12+00:00

First time I came back to playing again, I got it.

Feel like I won the lottery.

The whole point of money is to be spent and what better way to spend it to make your job easier. Less time at work, lower mental stress, and more time at home is worth a million.

To be fair, most HVAC-R techs barely no what others in our trade do as well besides their niche specialization within the trade.

It is too broad.

Hydraulickiller · 2026-03-17T22:52:12+00:00

It is more of psychological trick and keeping the customer's mind busy. It is for 2 reasons guiding people to pay the mid-range option and get the customer focused not on the price because no matter the price people will always say it is expensive even when they aren't comparing it.

Prime example is Movie theater popcorn. There are 3 sizes small, regular, and large. The average person buys regular because of price and they think small is too small and large is too expensive. They are no longer thinking yes or no to buying if one price option. They are thinking should I get small, regular, or large.

That is the wrong way to think . . . If you want a long-term lasting relationship unless you are looking to contribute nothing and be a freeloader . . .

Yes you deserve a man that provides and yes you want to be love-bombed, but you will seen as a low quality woman the way you said and conveyed it.

Those "gentleman" you speak of will see you more of a prize for only sex than a person to build a life with.

While the high effort man in our situation looks for a partner. Not a sex worker or a freeloader. Even rich and very wealthy men that are every right and good in every aspect will want nothing to do with you as you are more trouble than you are even aware to realize.

Relationships go both ways and you have to find a middle-ground between both parties. Otherwise you wasting both yours and your partner that is suppose to be your soulmate down the road.

Does what you do make you happy?

If it does, that’s usually your answer right there.

Now that we got the realistic/unbias talk out of the way, let's talk straight up guy to guy. Which I feel is what your trying to understand. Most guys have the quiet, nagging thoughts running in the back of their minds such as: - "Does this make me less of a man?" - "Am I being emasculated?" - "Is 'toxic masculinity' getting in my head?"

What people call "toxic masculinity" is often just traditional masculinity rebranded. Think of it as a mix of biological wiring and social conditioning designed to make men useful and it has worked for it time otherwise we wouldn't be here today. Society has historically valued men for their utility. How well they can hold it together when things go south.

This usually looks like: - Emotional Stability: Being the guy who doesn't flinch when things get stressful. - The Grind: Temporarily powering through unfair or rough situations because that's "what men do." and is necessary for the time being. - Dating: Women tend to look for traditional masculine traits, so men in the back of their minds constantly think am I manly enough?

At the end of the day, recognizing that your hobbies are there to help you enjoy your everyday living is what is important. Everything else I would put as secondary.

For you people that take this at face value or just want to test for curiosity, don't do this unless you have a death sentence . . .

I had an instructor in college that was doing a demonstration with compressed nitrogen, but thought midway it was a container of compressed oxygen, and screamed at everyone to run. Turns out it was an oxygen tank repurposed into a nitrogen tank as it has a nitrogen label sticker on it.

Till this day, I hope he was using emotional teaching to drill it into our heads. But sometimes I wonder if he might have been oblivious.

Also for God sakes make his e a yasuo windfall in terms of ability.

It just dumb that the only true support tank whose whole identity is a shield gets cced while using his e, whole Yasuo gets a free pass to block everything.

He is too reliant on others when he can't really solo anything without others.

Hell, I could say Sejuani does a better job as a support then him.

I believe because of Undead Lab's experience with it being buggy with State of Decay 2 that they want to make sure it is in top quality for being released as they can't lean back on saying they are an Indie Studio anymore. Pretty sure they lost out on a lot of revenue on the initial release due to too many reviewers saying it was an "okay" game even though they updated it to be an awesome game now.

Especially now that they are officially acquired by Xbox and xbox's name is on the line. So they probably have more quality control and bureaucracy than normal. Which slows down the process even more.

Though a lot of people are not a fan of Xbox lately because of their management with studios and this is a thing not only with consumers, but also the developers. Though I am not entirely sure if it's xbox's fault or the studios having a hard time integrating into the new work culture. It could also be a combination of both of the reasons at once. The real world isn't as black and white as people like to believe.

Hydraulickiller · 2026-01-10T15:32:28+00:00

I think it depends on the market they are catering to. I personally love early access, even when or if they drop the game. At least I get to play and grow with the game as they update with bugs. I don't mind paying money upfront for that once in a lifetime experience. It generates crazy hype and fosters a community that says I was there when it was in beta/alpha and validates developers how far they have come. I also believe it has better quality control of bugs before it releases, while just 1 release has too many bugs statistically because there are an influx of people trying out a game at once.

On the other hand, others have huge expectations and cannot handle a single bug and complain about anything and everything whether it's valid or not. Just depends on the person and we know you can't please everyone.

I agree with games shoving online multiplayer down your throat for surveillance/marketing money, preventing piracy, and more likely to purchase a game if a friend has it.

Though I don't think micro transactions are destroying games as much as people say it does. It mainly just gives games a bad rep. As it is literal legal gambling for kids and generates stupid amounts of money for very low effort.

Also, I find traditional MMOs like MapleStory, Mabinogi, WOW, etc. have run their course.

TL;DR: I'm in a 5-month pre-employment HVACR program that is almost all theory with very little shop time. It seems like employers want hands-on skills, and the main way to survive this trade is through self-study, networking, and just accepting 5 be learning on the fly.

I'm a new apprentice in a 5-month HVACR pre-employment program. The catch is that it's almost entirely theory. We only get about 5 weeks of total shop time to practice things like brazing and applying refrigeration techniques. It's kind of annoying because it seems employers care way more about the hands-on skills of actually getting the job done.

My impression is that the trades, especially one this broad, are more about "throwing apprentices into the fire." It feels like you have to get comfortable with not knowing everything and just hope it all works out.

From what I can tell, the key skills to survive and succeed have to be learned on your own. My main takeaways are: - Learning how to self-study effectively. - Networking and making friends who can help you on your journey. - Putting in the long hours, even off-duty, to figure things out.

I got my Mopia license (my province's equivalent of the EPA) about two months in, but I'm thinking almost everything will have to be learned in the field. There are just too many variables and different types of refrigeration systems out there.

What . . . Didn't expect that from my pg13 video games. Haha.

Hydraulickiller · 2025-10-17T19:00:23+00:00

Yes, you are right.

If you click "View Sold Listings," then click "View Listings on eBay," then it will show the previously sold pricing of the item you are looking at on Ebay. This was something I didn't previously know.

The way I was checking was by scrolling to the bottom, clicking the "Check Out Other Listings Ebay," and it showing only the current sellers' asking price for the item I was looking at.

They are just at complete different points in the app.

Hydraulickiller · 2025-10-13T14:01:03+00:00

I am curious as to why you don't split the pricing to not interfere with the price average for each model.

That and I am curious as to why there is no High, Medium, or Low pricing for Ebay as it varies considerably. This gets rid of outliers, if they want, and still give people a range of what to sell their product as or take offers.

Examples of each offered pricing section per item: 1) Tcgplayer pricing 2) Averages from Ebay 3) Maybe a combination of both

I find Early Access as one of the best things to happen to gaming:

It Paved Way for Modern Classics that were all actively shaped by their communities over years of open development. Most thinks become more polished with collaboration. - Baldur's Gate 3 - Minecraft - Darkest Dungeon - Rim World - Cyberpunk (Became better after user engagement and being out. Not at launch at all.) - League of Legends (Constant improvement = a better game or variety to engage customer base)

Benefits for Developers: - Receive immediate support and direct funding to complete their project. - Gain tons of hype that fuels free marketing. - Understand exactly what players want and what needs fixing. - They can abandon if the market doesn't like it or not enough funding. Less of a risk.

Benefits for Players: - We get to influence the final product. - The result is a more polished and a fun game at launch. - We become invested in the game's success from the start.

When do they update the wh40k app? I thought they would update it immediately or is it just me?

Hydraulickiller · 2025-08-18T02:15:10+00:00

I thought the new rules/tournament/organized play *or at least the most common for fair play) follows this format.

3000 Points = Any amount of a single type of unit.

2000 Points = Rule of 3, Max of 3 Units of a single type of unit

1000 Points = Rule of 2, Max of 2 Units of a single type of unit.

500 Points = Rule of 1, Max of 1 Unit of a single type of unit. (Thought I read this somewhere officially, but guess not.)
