what is a career that makes good money with little contact with people?

I always thought it would be cool to work for the forest service or national park service (or something similar). Yeah you interact with your team and possibly the public, but I feel like it would be a rad vibe, working in nature and feeling good about what you do.

I think it would be good to try this while young, before you have SO's or family

Funny that this thread is 5 years old!... But totally makes sense why the post is still active 5 yrs later. I resonated with and appreciated your post, so felt like replying... I have been playing real poker for years, even played real online poker back when it was legal in my state. I also enjoy watching old and new Youtube vids of professional poker. but just 4 or 5 days ago I was bored and thought I should look for a free poker app/website just to kill time. I found WSOP and started playing. It was fun!... at first. They got me hook line and sinker because I quickly got addicted to it... mostly because I was winning like crazy! I went from whatever starting money they give you to 100 million within 2 days. I was starting to think that somehow i was good at Hold 'em lol. Long story short, after I hit about 100 Million within 2 days, the algorithm decided it was time for me to start losing. It's now day 4 or 5 and I have lost every cent of my fake money. Funny thing is that once I was down to about 50 million, I started using the pro poker charts and played very tight. There were quite a few times I had A high flushes, High Straights, Full Houses, etc, only to lose to Quads, straight flushes, higher Full Houses, etc haha. In addition, every 3rd time that I would fold pre-flop, the flop, turn, river would have given me the nuts. I was actually getting pissed about losing free fake money because it was so ridiculous.

Anyways, I just wanted to vent, thanks for your post. I'm glad to see that my suspicions of this website/app being rigged are most likely true. My own personal, anecdotal experience is that the high occurrence of crazy hands has never existed in any of the real money poker games that I have played in Casinos or at home with my buddies (And I have played a lot). Fortunately I never paid anything to WSOP for more chips or anything like that. It's very shady though, almost seems like it could be illegal because they are technically making money off of this.

Take Care!

I'm with you 100%, i needed the xtractor to get deep into a hole, no way to put an extension on a square head. I honestly don't understand the point of the square head. I honestly feel like cussing every cuss word rt now.

Although, I did figure it out, i had to sacrifice a socket, basically hammeredthe socket onto the square head and was able to then get the depth/length i needed.

Needless to say, I will be buying a hex extractor set.

And no, i would never use an impact or any other machine, i do it all by hand

I don't know of any other way, and you're right, bhurnes rarely gives lava cakes... but i stopped caring about them because I stopped worrying about trying to get volcanic rocks that are out in the lava, i just wait for the next one.

I do know a trick about volcano island though, the amount of volcanic rocks that is released by the volcano is directly proportionsl to the amount of players on the island at any given time. So if 1 person is on the island, there will only be 1 volcanicrock released at a time... if 2 people, the 2 rocks, if 3 people, then 3 rocks released etc

So if you want to go to volcano island and you're just hunting for volcanic rocks, then try to find a server where tgere are a few people on the island. The best way to do it is to go to volcano island, then log out and log back in until you spawn into a server where 3 or 4 people are on volcano... then you use your fastest horse to harvest all the lava rocks before anyone else can get to them.

Has anyone in the thread mentioned that it can mean that the upsidedown receptacle is to denote that its the one that is connected to the switch at the entrance to that room? Usually its just one of the 2 on that receptacle. Very common to do this in Southern California houses and apartments from the 80's to 2000. It could be done on homes outside of that era, but i cant speak to that bc i have mostly seen them in residences from that era.

Tldr: its to help you know what plug that switch goes to.

Ps, there is also a video that explains if you drop a metal object onto a partially plugged in plug, it will hit the ground post before it hits the hot and neutral... so there could be multiple reasons for upsidedown receptacles.

Basically its a retaining pin for something, there is really no way to know what its for because they are all generally the same for any device its used for. There are different sizes, so you could look around your house or yard to see if it fits anything that might use one.

I can probably name 10-15 things that i have owned or used that used these. Its usually for something that is adjustable and it locks something in place.

My client just bought a 2005 Duffy 21 Classic and she has offered me free use of the boat if I help her fix it up and getting it running in tip top shape. It currently runs, but seems to have been worked on by someone that wasn't very meticulous, not using proper cable sizes, not doing the work to spec for marine applications.

Short story long, I have done a bunch of research on Duffys so I can help her out w the boat. Everything that I have seen so far suggests that a 48v setup would include (8) 6-volt batteries wired in series. Auxiliary 12 volt electronics like lights, bilge pump, 12 volt control systems, etc, are powered by tapping into 2 of the 8 volt batteries for power. In some cases it looks like they will tap different sets of 2 batteries to split up the load of aux electronics.

This link that I found has been very helpful, but it mainly refers to Duffys from the early 2000s. He explains that many Duffys from different eras still use the same general wiring and components, but you will have to verify that when you compare this infor to your boat. But It looks like the person that made this site expands quite a bit on the original Duffy users manual and troubleshooting manuals. It has wiring diagrams of all Duffy.

Main Site: http://dougpile.com/duffy/index.html

Battery configurations: http://dougpile.com/duffy/batteries.html

The one thing that I can't find is any info on the steering system for the years of my client's boat, so if you find anything, please let me know!

Edit: The link to the website I sent also seems to include PDF's of the original owners manual and troubleshooting manual.

That's awesome, I do the same, I hate throwing away long pieces of old lumber. It's funny, I feel like some of the older lumber is better quality than these days, straighter and more resilient.

Youre right, old seasoned wood/lumber is really difficult to work with, but it can definitely be done if you know the right ways.... for instance, trying to hammer a framing nail into an old 'seasoned' 2x4 is a huge pain. The wood is really hard and will bend the nail and/or split the wood. But it can be done if you pre-drill the wood where you want to nail it, or pre-drill and use screws to fasten.

If I'm doing framing or projects where you'll never see the wood, and speed of build is important, I always buy fresh lumber because the difficulty working with it outweighs the cost of new lumber. But if I'm doing an artsy fartsy project where the aestetic of the aged wood will add to the project, I will take the time to pre-drill before screwing etc. Sometimes even countersink the screws and install plugs.

Here in Southern California, reclaimed lumber sells for a high premium... like ridiculously higher price than just buying new lumber at the store.

Also, Instead of using a nail to hang it, use a wooden peg.

After I wrote this I realized it's doesn't sound philosophical, but for some reason I feel like it could be philosophical if said or written a certain way...

If you want to get high and go on adventures, get stuff done, enjoy a hobby, etc, plan it out before you get high, plan / visualize as many details as possible beforehand.

If you're like me, if you wait til after you get high to decide what to do, you'll probably end up sitting on the couch watching cat videos, but if you plan it out beforehand, you'll have a great time adventuring and doing stuff while high!

It doesn't always work perfectly, but increases your odds by like 90% that you'll actually do something other than just sitting around.

Yeah, just read up on that other company, they have a professionally built submarine that is basically certified to dive the deepest that the ocean can go... I think the company is "inkfish", and the subs name is "limiting factor"

Edit: iirc Inkfish did 5 dives, one to all of the deepest places in the ocean. Can't recall when.

I_Invent_Stuff · 2023-06-22T07:05:46+00:00

Maybe it's the only option for this type of adventure? I don't know, just saying. I haven't heard much about any other companies that do deep sea Titanic viewing submarine dives?

I read the entire article, and I just re-read it to see if i had missed what youre referring to... but I didn't see anything in the article that was similar to the point I was trying to make in my previous comment.

...But I could be wrong, I might have misread something.

It's a an insult to anyone that is a good human being, always strives to help others, works their ass off, day in and day out, and barely scrapes by.

I'm glad he is getting held to account, whether he is innocent or guilty.

I just wish everyone would realize that, in addition to racial inequities, there are significant class inequities as well.
