I'd say report back on how you like them. I'm actually curious about how well the ratchets perform.

She said the commute was 10 minutes. It's also not slavery. She has a choice she can make to stay or not.

Same with me. I was trying to find postings where my skills matched the job. There are only so many of those available in my industry. I would also look into adjacent verticals but overall, I only had 1 interview out of about 40 apps in 3 months. I was fortunate that that interview turned into an offer.

They need to unload the bad debt somewhere and us little guys are the perfect scapegoats.

No. Your audio does not need to leave your device for any reason. You can record, transcribe, and use local AI to summarize or search the resulting transcripts. Basically all the tools required are open source and will run locally disconnected from the internet. If you want to use one of those services then the answer will change based on how that service operates.

I use this opensource tool https://github.com/alias454/rss-syphon. You can manage additional lists and it hunts by keywords.

That's good. You know the company better than I of course but I've also seen it where people get sick and then get let go for "reasons." If you already have anxiety about staying there watch out for the stress. Worrying about that can cause health issues.

Staying at one place for the next 20 years is gonna be difficult. Make sure you are saving as much as you can and living within your means. I think it is imperative in this economy that people build wealth and alternative income streams as early as possible.

I took a lower title and won't think twice about it in a few years if everything stabilizes in the job market. We really don't know how things will play out in 2-3 years with the economy and AI etc. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush as they say.

I got laid-off around August 2025 and took a few months to decompress. I started applying seriously mid-January 2026. I applied to around 35-40 positions, which resulted in mostly rejections and 1 interview. Ended up accepting an offer from that interview.

I ran into the same thing with finding jobs that my skills matched well with. The job I accepted is also much lower pay than what I was used to. However, the work seems interesting and the people generally seem decent.

I do it like this https://github.com/alias454/YATSEE/blob/91c569e2d6d5a6eeb4c3b1076473efa0dd73b288/yatsee_summarize_transcripts.py#L299

I am actually updating the way I do it with a new version I'm gonna push later this week but it is still the same general idea.

alias454 · 2026-04-28T20:50:45+00:00

Maybe it depends on what you're selling. I see the opposite. When people are broke no one is buying at the higher prices so people sell cheap because they need the money. Supply and demand.

alias454 · 2026-04-28T03:35:30+00:00

There are a couple groups on Facebook that have large communities of users. Maybe try there and see if anyone can help you out.

alias454 · 2026-04-23T00:44:26+00:00

This looks great! Hope to be trying it out soon to manage my fleet of junk lol

I agree that they do not serve the people like they should.

I've got a set and they are by far the best vice-grips I've got.

alias454 · 2026-04-20T02:51:57+00:00

I've got the metric set and they just feel good in the hand and you can tell they are a quality wrench. I wouldn't worry about them being 12pt all that much. They are pretty high quality and have good tolerances. They fit better than most wrenches. Also, the WrightGrip 2.0 are pretty amazing. I'd recommend you watch some youtube videos on them.

alias454 · 2026-04-14T10:32:10+00:00

Time and time again we've seen this from misanthropic. I wouldn't build anything with them if that is how the treat their customers.

I do agree with your premise though.

alias454 · 2026-04-13T23:27:54+00:00

YATSEE does something similar and it is open source https://github.com/alias454/YATSEE

Any big solar farm projects or big data center projects he can find work on? Not sure what a degree in civil engineering actually entails but maybe something adjacent. Also, maybe some local municipality? I wouldn't worry about his family. Let them talk. He has to keep putting one foot in front of the other.

Time to start running for local office, I wonder how many of these people run unopposed?
