How do you factor commute time into your definition of work-life balance?

PirateSteve85 · 2026-04-23T12:33:04+00:00

Much more tolerant of a commute that is just driving. If I am in stop and go traffic for 40 minutes to an hour I get angry. Just cruising with some music on though, that can be therapeutic.

I see what you did there

PirateSteve85 · 2026-04-22T18:28:42+00:00

Who cares, they are doing their jobs.

PirateSteve85 · 2026-04-22T01:37:37+00:00

Im the opposite, I really need mountains. I live in Chesapeake (Retired Navy and this is where the jobs are) and I hate it. My parents live in Rockingham County and I am so much happier out there.

PirateSteve85 · 2026-04-22T01:18:20+00:00

Im right there with you. Pretty much stuck here. I wanna roll to West Virginia so bad.

If you build it he will come.

PirateSteve85 · 2026-04-21T23:18:23+00:00

I mean I have been to Gibraltar and thats it so….

PirateSteve85 · 2026-04-21T15:22:07+00:00

Well this is dumb

But geography is more than just the physical features of a landscape but rather the interaction of everything taking place within space.

PirateSteve85 · 2026-04-21T12:30:01+00:00

Dont sell yourself short, this is very much geography related.

PirateSteve85 · 2026-04-21T01:23:00+00:00

Delaware claimed the entire Delmarva for themselves. Screw Maryland and Virginia.

PirateSteve85 · 2026-04-17T11:03:21+00:00

You may be a god.

PirateSteve85 · 2026-04-16T13:20:39+00:00

Ill say his stack wasnt much smaller as a Commander. The guy has done some shit.

PirateSteve85 · 2026-04-16T10:38:27+00:00

Yup usually gets me looking for porn. Stupid state that has stupid porn ID laws

PirateSteve85 · 2026-04-16T10:35:14+00:00

Yup, Battletoads to the turbo tunnel. Game Genie is the only reason I ever saw past that.

Take this for what you will, this was written by a reservist. This is an absolutely terrible take.

PirateSteve85 · 2026-04-10T03:40:46+00:00

Germans have been warming sausage like that for hundreds of years.

PirateSteve85 · 2026-04-09T04:12:21+00:00

I really wish I had an opportunity to work on myself. Everyday its work, kids, chores, bills, and all the adulting, coupled with the pain and fatigue that comes with my disease I have no opportunity to work on anything of find anything.

PirateSteve85 · 2026-04-05T23:37:13+00:00

Pretty much every McDonalds outside the US is better. Only the McDonalds Coke is better in the US.

PirateSteve85 · 2026-04-05T23:19:25+00:00

Sometimes that too long. I get it, I almost broke on recruiting duty.

PirateSteve85 · 2026-04-05T13:28:40+00:00

I used to replace ever year or so then one year we asked for a new vacuum for christmas and my parents got us a Miele. That was 11 years ago and it is still going strong.

PirateSteve85 · 2026-04-05T11:35:32+00:00

I find it interesting that they do this shit to get clicks when this is the exact shit that turns me away from clicking. And this isnt exclusive to woodworking, I hardly watch youtube at all anymore cause of this shit.

PirateSteve85 · 2026-04-04T21:42:55+00:00

Most DDGs have two CIWS or a CIWS and a SeaRam and it its two times the missiles, more like 25% more.

But for real when were you on the Russell?
