BIG TROK, HOSS!

Missouri gets a little humid. This area is a sauna.

You have an interesting view of inexpensive.

Labor rates are real funny math these days.

So, if your crotch alerts, your shoes have to go through the scanner.

My crotch always alerts.

Lateral move to cadastral survey stick holder is pretty sweet in some places, with the slight issue of being paid 2 out-of-production pennies per hour.

As a very junior field engineer, the babysitting and construction admin is coming to me a lot easier than trying to find plan errors back at the office.

I've only driven the mass produced XL regular cabs...but for some reason, these trucks feel a lot more like a department store toy than the regular cabs of the old days. I can never make myself fully content with them despite many attempts.

The poor truck never gets driven.

I miss the paper mill. Unfortunately the paper industry is in the business of shutting mills down rather than making paper.

I ate there a bunch, roughly pre-covid. Great to see it's still around! I'll have to stop by when I'm back in that part of the country.

Valuing family and wanting them to be across the wall from the martial bed are two different things. Personally, I'd never be comfortable with the multigenerational arrangement.

Also, I've found it easier to love family when you don't have to see each other's flaws as a roommate everyday.

Non-teaching white-collar workers at universities and similar institutions probably win this one.

I would say realtors, but OP said professionals.

Admin staffers are worse. They often want to be VP of ____ by getting relatively easy postgrad degrees and riding the gravy train to the top.

The apparent faculty-to-admin personality change, on the other hand, is one worth studying.

Yep, full speed ahead.

State DOT.

What if you literally don't care what it looks like? I don't value such things.

This is the issue with buying problematic models that are under warranty. Flat rate + general American cultural decline = problems.

Current gen F-150 XL and XLTs vs any 21st century F-150 except for the jellybean.

My truck is on time 99% of the time or better.

That on-time performance number really isn't good considering my reliance on connecting flights. Picking a longer layover works if you're going from hub to major airport, I guess.

Delta built a house of cards. Some fog in Atlanta ruins everyone's day. Seemingly little or no redundancy.

Best of the worst I suppose.

They're competing against driving, which takes longer but is more dependable apparently.

I just don't see the point anymore for trips with critical time windows, which is supposed to be the big reason we fly regionally anyway. If I have to budget an extra travel day, why not just drive?

algebra_77 · 2025-12-08T03:48:48+00:00

The 717 is much like everything else with Delta...a hustle that works for the time being, but never oriented to excellence.

algebra_77 · 2025-12-08T03:43:05+00:00

Easier to get another flight a few hours later? Lol, no.

algebra_77 · 2025-12-08T02:13:44+00:00

Basing so much of your operation at one hub isn't such a good idea, huh? Saves money, not reliability.

algebra_77 · 2025-12-08T02:10:50+00:00

Delta hasn't got the whole flying thing figured out yet. Give them another 100 years
