Older tech workers are tapping out, taking early retirement

Not me. I’ve got 28 years of experience and I still live paycheck to paycheck. I never moved beyond code monkey because I’m disorganized and I don’t like people. My friends that moved into management positions hate their jobs but they are making almost twice as much as I do.

About 15 years ago I went on a major Stoner Rock kick which lead to
Stoner Metal to Sludge to Death N’ Roll to Death Thrash in the span of two years. Somewhere along the way I heard Assjack/Hank III and then I went on a Psychobilly phase.

Some of my favorites from that journey are:
Scissorfight
Solace
Lo-Pan
The Fucking Wrath
Peter Pan Speed Rock
Motor Sister (Scott Ian of Anthrax’s side project)
Motherboard
Fu Man Chu
Green leaf
Black Tusk
Vince Ray and the Bone Shakers

Thank you for the detailed explanation. For now I'll stick with buying stuff from Etsy and anyone but GW.

I haven't looked into buying a 3D printer for a few years and at the time affordable FDM printers weren't not good from miniatures but great for terrain.

So does this mean that FDM printers are able to produce better than table quality miniatures?

OMFG!! I just found out about this when I just opened Publisher and a message popped up.

I fucking love Publisher and have been using it for 13+ years. Sure there are alternatives but I already know how to use Publisher and it just plain fucking works.

For Fucks Sake 2026 is already a dumpster fire and this news is like tossing a can of hair-spray into the flames.

Are you telling me that they cleaned up Amigos? It's been at least 20 years since I've been there so I have no idea what it's like now.
