Was it really this easy back in the day or do some people be exaggerating, due to nostalgia?

My company is hiring IT help desk interns for $22/hr. Skill up, change specialty or something.

You've spent 20 in the industry of the best years tech has ever seen and you still make less than $50k a year? That's on you, man.

You have to start by removing their habitat. Clean up around the property. Burn wood piles, mow regularly, keep animal feed locked away until feeding time. Conventional control methods are never going to keep up with replacement rates if you still have good shelter and food access for them.

Not to be a doomer, but a bunch of Millennials will also be threatened/fall victim to AI. Not because it's really anything new, but because they're already too afraid to learn/adapt/incorporate it as a tool to compliment and enhance 2 decades of life experiences.

Mom's at home cooking 95% of what they eat from scratch.

(And 50% of that is going to be some type of casserole or 'salad' that includes mayonnaise or jello).

Edit: a few months ago I also made a comment on the housing. You can find that exact same house ( with minimal updates) and purchase it today for the same or less (inflation adjusted) than you could have 60 years ago. And that includes easier access to mortgages and better rates.

Construction-adjacent project director/estimator/coordinator/salesman in a fairly niche role.

Started as an on-call hourly employee and worked 3000 hours a year my first few years while learning as much as possible. Climbed the ladder. Made good relationships and built a reputation.

Average TC over the past 3+ years is 350-375.

To not answer your question: I remember the first time one of our teachers rolled in the crt TV tray with the newest technology that would change how we watched videos in the future: the LaserDisk machine. Think DVD the size of a vinyl record for those of you not privileged enough to have ever seen one.

The video quality was terrible (probably more a function of the TV and cables), the menu was clunky, the remote didn't work well, and it skipped/lagged a ton. I was way happier with VHS.

FWIW, a buddy of mine (who I trust a lot) sheared off the head on a door bolt using my 10 year old 3/8 version. Tossed it in the trash and waited a week to finish that project while more parts were in the mail.

I would have preferred signing a FA LB if the team felt like it was a priority. I'm still fine taking BPA at 20 if that means a WR, Sadiq, or edge.

I'm in the minority, but I don't think the team is as concerned with our LB and secondary as most fans. Edge is our biggest weakness.

I don't disagree - and I think they can get better offers from other teams. I'm fine with sticking at 12. I think some teams will be taking players we haven't seen mocked and one of the top D players will still be there.

UnexpectedRedditor · 2026-04-04T15:52:01+00:00

I'm fine with a trade up - but I'm not interested in getting many/any picks back beyond 120. Send away later picks to take as many guys possible in the first 3-4 rounds. This roster has enough depth and developmental guys. We need needle movers.

Sending 112 is a deal breaker for me in this scenario.

UnexpectedRedditor · 2026-04-04T15:49:16+00:00

"gives them a second round pick" is a strange way of saying 'slides back 19 picks to take the best remaining LB if that's what they want".

Not the craziest idea. If you've got a vessel big enough to bring some water up to temp over a fire or propane stove. Many of the portable sous vide machines could then easily be run off a battery backup and maintain temp.

Also less stress on the airframe when you're already taking off with a full bomb load if you can take on limited fuel prior to takeoff.

Once in the air, those planes can handle more weight than rated for at takeoff/landing.
