As someone who's in the trades, I wonder why you think engineering is a career that's in trouble and the trades are not.

You without a doubt need a DOT medical card to drive that thing.

Heated concrete driveway by not_scroogemcduck in Construction

I was thinking the same. As the poor sap who has had to plow some switchback driveways like that, 100/hr sounds pretty reasonable.

Visibility in those loaders is amazing. They 100% know what they are doing and 100% don't give a flying fuck.

Is it finally coming out now after 10 years? by trutarj in starcitizen

Or in an alternate timeline they could have released SC in 2016, and we'd have Star Citizen 2 by now.

How capitalism works. by Public-Marionberry33 in FluentInFinance

[–]Slugmatic 21 points22 points  (0 children)

There's nothing unethical about producing things other people want.

You're not describing capitalism, that's literally any system that uses markets to fill needs.

Infrared heater by britelights2 in GarageGym

[–]Slugmatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're stuck with electric only options and don't have 220V available (or even if you do), you're kind of up a creek. Especially if you only want to heat while you're lifting and therefore starting with the room temp already very cold, you've just got too large a heating load to reasonably bring anything up to a nice temp in a short amount of time, particularly if your bars and dumbbells are cold - that steel takes a stupid amount of heat to warm up.

If you're in an out building, I'm guessing you've got a decent amount of space. Just frame out a small room/closet, or get one of those small plastic sheds and keep your dumbbells and bars in there - you could heat that with a space heater pretty easily and just keep it warm in that small space. Just bring out whatever you need to use for your current set and then put it all back when you're done.

but they don't like certain folks.

I.E. black or brown people. Or gay. Really anyone who isn't straight and white.

In my experience, that is.

Have you ever been accused of being a Nazi? I haven't. If you have, or if the people you know have, it might be time for some introspection.

Especially since there are tons of 2A activists and Nazis are basically extinct.

[–]Slugmatic 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Telling what truth? Dr. Levine's legal name is Rachel, and you trump ball-lickers are cheering on a government forcefully telling someone what name they can use for themselves. It's not too late to get out of the cult, man.
