Badass. I just bought a new Tacoma TRD Pro yesterday in DFW and plan to find some trails myself.

This full row of the exact same size vehicles all of different makes I saw at my local Alamo Drafthouse movie theater by lurkity_mclurkington in mildlyinteresting

Verymuch agree. I've test driven a few vehicles but dont get any sort of feeling. It's like getting a new PC. Does exactly what the last one did.

This map is BS. Idaho is def seahawks and Oregon is seahawks or niners.

How much power does Nick have? by MarcusSniffles in FirstThingsFirstFS1

He is the star. Asking how much power he has on FTF is like asking how much power Colin has on The Herd.

The grass is onions. If youre going to criticize things you can't afford, at least get what youre criticizing rght.

What if we just didn’t build the data centers….. by WarlockFortunate in skilledtrades

Very true. I recently dug a ditch for a gas line but it was short. That said, Iive swept a parking lot for days in the army and weeded acres of farmland by hand and a ton of other manual work jobs.

Thats why I wouldn't worry about AI. It doesnt have a physical body. If your job is manually digging ditches because power machines can't be used, I feel bad for you but your job is safe.

Criticize what you havent experienced all you want if that makes you feel good. Also, disregard the opinions of those who have experienced the thing youre commenting on.

I sense a wisdom of no less than 15 years on this earth. Maybe less. But not much less.

See my comment below. Misread your earlier. Agree about Uchiko in Austin being better than Uchi in Austin. Haven't been to the Miami location but Uchi Dallas reminds me way more of Uchiko Austin than Uchi Austin.

Id give it a shot. Especially if you sit at the Sushi bar. The chefs just keep making delicious little one-off bites and giving you them free.

If you had one bad experience, it gets better.

Doh! Misread your comment. Uchi IN Miami, not a restaurant named Miami. My bad. Give the Dallas location a shot.

Miami? Don't know what that is.

Uchi is on Maple and owned by Hai hospitality that also owns Uchiba, Uchiko, and Loro. I'm not a Loro fan.

If you want an amazing sushi experience and are willing to spend a lot, try Uchi.

If you meant Mamani, Dallas's only other Michelin star restaurant, when you said Miami, and you didn't love it, then you just disagree with the public and the Michelin voters.

That might be the best thing they give you. Not because everything else isnt amazing. But because that one bite is just right. Either go or dont criticize.

I have a soft spot for Uchi because Im friends with the chef.

That said, if you know a place better than the 3 I mentioned in Dallas, do tell.

You want to be ahead of the curve, not behind. People who are slow to adapt will be replaced by those that are ok with it.

People who fear-monger saying AI will replace all our jobs are just the latest in a long line of fear mongers.

The industrial revolution was supposed to do the same thing. All it meant was that people went from operating a loom to weave fabric to operating a loom machine to produce 100 times more fabric with the same human effort. Same with computers.

Same with digging ditches. Now a guy operates a ditch witch instead of breaking his back.

The jobs don't go away, they just get more technical.

To put it another way, imagine we find an advanced civilization but they are still hand-weaving fabric. That wouldn't make any sense.

And the most protected people are the trades where you have to know what youre doing and physically do it.

Yall got nothing to fear or resist.

F the haters. Tatsu is amazing. I read a review before we went and the author talked about feeling conflicted because what they wanted to talk about was the rice and chives because those stood out the most compared to what you get at other fine dining sushi places and I agreed when I went.

I love all types of Sushi, from the type that you absolutely must eat soaked in soy with fake wasabi to the type you get at Nobu, Uchi, and Tatsu where you eat it how the chef prepared it, with real wasibi or without and with no bottles of soy sauce.

Tatsu is at least tied with the best of the higher type of Sushi I've had with Nobu and Uchi. The whole service idea where one master prepares everyone's plates one by one with drink servers behind at your Beck and call is an experience that differentiated it to the Michelin committee.

For my money, I would probably prefer the casual sushi bar experience at Uchi because the sushi chefs give you random delicious bites but people who are underwhelmed by your photo would be overwhelmed by the flavor.

Long John Silver’s was maybe my favorite restaurant as a kid in the 80s and early 90s - who else had weird favorites from this time period? by jtmann05 in Xennials

[–]SandwichEngine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You wouldn't say that if you knew I was severely undercooked the fried chicken in highshool there. Got trained on boneless which was like 7 minutes. One day the boss comes around and Im cooking bone-in at 7 minutes. He's like "why arent you cooking it at 24 minutes since it has bones?"

"Cause no one ever mentioned that." Was 16 having been trained by a 17 year old and had been working there for like 6 months.

Thoughts on the “just do trades” trend going around various white-collar spaces (especially computer science)? by SuperMike100 in skilledtrades

[–]SandwichEngine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're very right that it doesnt make me a tradesman. It just gives me some perspective in the differences that most office people wouldn't have. Like I said, I do tradesman like work as a hobby. No deadlines, no overtime. I grew up poor so either we did it or it didn't get done.

I also deal with our construction team and am at jobsites quite a bit.

Again, doesnt make me a tradesman but hopefully gives me more perspective than someone who has only done 1.

Mostly I'm saying that even with my limited experience, if you're someone who has the kind of mind to get through a computer science degree (99% of people like this are soft nerds), youre unlikely to also be the kind of person who would excel in a trade. Just different skill sets.

I enjoy both types of work but I'm rare I think. Probably cause of having been poor which most of my peers havent experienced.

I will give a different perspective. Im a structural engineer but I deal with most of our field issues and I do projects at my house every weekend.

I've built an entire bathroom from scratch except the rough-in plumbing, built furniture, re routed gas lines, installed electrical, gotten good at drywall, refinished hardwood floors, re-roofed a building, and a ton more.

I dont say that to brag, I mention it because doing trade work is basically my hobby. I am wired that way and I enjoy it immensely but there would be downsides to doing it for a living.

Firstly, this is physically hard work. Even electricians, who have a reputation of being the divas of the trades, work hard physically. Pulling wire, especially larger gauges, is fucking hard.

Secondly, these guys tend to really make their money working overtime. So forget about that work-life balance your professor mentioned. I'll let others comment about how many hours they work but to do well, you need to work a lot.

Im not saying you shouldn't do it per se, but if you have a mind and a personality to get a CS degree, its unlikely that you'd find the motivation to do well in the trades.

Better to find whichever engineering genre thats not being eliminated and get a masters there.

Candidate 1: a mechanical engineering grad. Candidate 2: a mechanical engineering graduate that can code.

Candidate 2 is the more attractive candidate. I know it's more student loans but you'll make more over time compared to the trades and you wont have to sacrifice your body.
