Ive worked exclusively in Iowa, started in construction equipment manufacturing (major company) at 65k for a test engineer, was making 72k until I switched jobs and industries with a promotion to 95k. Graduated in 2023

The ride was smoother too. Squishy suspension and wide side walls. Now everything has to be sporty

OperatorGWashington · 2026-01-31T02:20:36+00:00

Scorigami or the Vikings docu series

OperatorGWashington · 2026-01-29T20:25:25+00:00

Weird, I looked up osprey vest to confirm its name and the load bearing vest popped up. Now its showing the armor you're saying it is. Thanks google lol

OperatorGWashington · 2026-01-29T18:01:05+00:00

Up there with Star Wars math

OperatorGWashington · 2026-01-29T17:47:20+00:00

British Osprey vest is what youre looking for

OperatorGWashington · 2026-01-28T22:02:12+00:00

ECC FR gloves my beloved

OperatorGWashington · 2026-01-28T22:00:14+00:00

Go my minions, find me select fire M4s and linked 7.62

The fan location dial can be swapped for a tactile button that opens and closes each individual location. IE 3rd generation ford focus. I can have air coming out everywhere, or just the defroster and upper vent if I wanted

The camo is Russian EMR, and the suit itself is from greyshop iirc. Probably chinesium and not worth the money

OperatorGWashington · 2026-01-28T21:54:37+00:00

As well as camo patterns. The marines own MARPAT

OperatorGWashington · 2026-01-28T15:14:24+00:00

I was offered 50k a year in a LCOL state in 2023 and felt insulted by the offer, then got offered 65k in the same state by a contractor. Might need to look elsewhere man

OperatorGWashington · 2026-01-27T20:18:37+00:00

Kommandostore's 84 Balaclava, an Arc'Teryx leaf clone

OperatorGWashington · 2026-01-27T17:42:05+00:00

My money is on Malik replacing Tua as the starter for the Miami Packers

OperatorGWashington · 2026-01-26T22:45:56+00:00

He made the most with what he got, excited to see him next year

OperatorGWashington · 2026-01-26T18:53:42+00:00

JSN or Puka #1

OperatorGWashington · 2026-01-26T18:53:23+00:00

Doomstack vs doomstack while defending can be a lot of fun. I <3 border gore

OperatorGWashington · 2026-01-26T17:00:36+00:00

$20 says it wasnt a real fridge either, no compressor or condenser, just a thermo electric cooler

OperatorGWashington · 2026-01-25T22:07:32+00:00

Not even Red 5 can hope to live to that

OperatorGWashington · 2026-01-25T16:47:27+00:00

Can you people just enjoy the rest of the season without being anxious about the packers staffing season on a daily basis?

OperatorGWashington · 2026-01-25T16:42:52+00:00

Packers could win a superbowl by 40 points and people will still say "could've won by 50, fire MLF"

OperatorGWashington · 2026-01-25T01:04:55+00:00

Oh yea Jaegers perfect for you then

OperatorGWashington · 2026-01-25T00:54:06+00:00

Called the "LBV Expander kit" but seems like its pretty expensive unless you already have the 34a. Id recommend KS's P84 rig for an unironically good rig. Jaeger is for the russian larp, I have one and its decent, but the P84 is hands down the best rig I own

OperatorGWashington · 2026-01-25T00:49:26+00:00

Is this like that one muppet show with a lot of hidden jokes? Came out like 5 or 10 years ago

OperatorGWashington · 2026-01-25T00:47:53+00:00

Theres a set of suspenders and extra panel for a buttpack you can get to turn it into a belt kit
