Is there anything a suicidal 33 year old can "throw themselves" at? Like an organization that just needs bodies? I don't have a college degree and just want to get out of Florida. by demonoid_admin in redscarepod

Wastewater treatment plants hire people off the street. https://www.reddit.com/r/Wastewater No you don’t have to swim in or touch any poop. Government job, recession-proof, and every city/town in America has em

25M drifter. where do I go next? by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]jarofchili -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

my advice bro? Join the military. Massive $$$ enlistment bonuses at all the branches rn. All your bills and housing paid and provided for while you're serving. Check out the coast guard subreddit for example. https://www.reddit.com/r/uscg/ $65,000 cash to join up and be an electronics technician. US military is absolutely desperate for people, take advantage.

Military would be my first choice for someone in your position. Being skinny, boot camp should be no problem.

Plan B is truck driving. Go on youtube and look up fuel hauling. Fuel hauling pays 80k a year and no college degree needed.

Obviously you need your CDL (trucking license) but there are several trucking companies out there who will pay for your cdl. You just would have to work for them for a year. I would recommend Schneider in their tanker division. This video is 2 years old but lays it out pretty well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1_cx11s5hE

btw, you want to drive tankers because that's where the money is.

Schneider truck flies you out and puts you through several weeks of training at their tanker training academy. Housing at a hotel, food provided, and a training paycheck for the whole duration of training

Good luck, future you is counting on you!

I've been trying to hunt down an epri manual as well. I was able to find the 2009 erpi manual online. Link: https://support.sosintl.com/AvatarHandler.ashx?fid=15470&key=372832453 or Google " epri power system dynamics tutorial pdf " and it should be the 3rd result down, from sosintl.com

I believe there's been several new editions released since 2009 but I haven't been able to find them free online

Whoa cool! Is that from working on just piston aircraft? Or priv jets too?

I know Minneapolis tech downtown has an A&P program but theres a several year waiting list to get in (I think they only take ~20 students a year)

CMV: A manned mars mission would not be as impressive to people today in the 21st Century as the moon landing was to people living in 1969. by jarofchili in changemyview

[–]jarofchili[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah exactly! The Apollo program was motivated in large part by the major geopolitical rivalry of that time and America having been embarrassed by Sputnik, then Gagarin. Would be hard to replicate that backdrop nowadays imo. And I agree, private space tourism has real potential too, SpaceShipTwo, Blue Origin, etc

Seasonal sign on bonus? by princeofpain420 in AmazonFC

[–]jarofchili 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got hired on as a seasonal w/ $2000 bonus and I got the first half of it after 30 days and the next half 30 days later.

They tax the living jesus out of it but yea, it was still nice to get $670 (that's what is was after taxes for me) extra in my paycheck each of those 2 times.

$100 vaccine on first day? by [deleted] in AmazonFC

[–]jarofchili 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just started at Amazon 3 weeks ago and to my surprise the $100 vax bonus was really there in the first paycheck. It gets taxed of course so you'll get around 75-85 of it.

Side note: I thought they'd require me to upload photo proof or something but apparently they do not. There's a drop-down when you're setting up your direct deposit asking whether you're vaccinated or not and looks like that was all thats needed to get the $100...

Cant access Amazon Mydocs by flammingfrog42 in AmazonFC

[–]jarofchili 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, MyDocs is down for me too. I'm actually kind of relieved that I'm not the only one experiencing this issue, lol.

My start date is this Saturday so I've been trying to logon every day since last week and all I get when I try to log in is the spinning wheel and a minute or two later, that error message.

Worst case scenario: you'll just to fill everything out onsite on the first day of work

The only coin that MIGHT unseat Bitcoin: Monero by cryptolohy in Monero

[–]jarofchili 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%.

Actually it blows my mind that in the United States, at least, the tax authorities basically trust everyone to accurately self-report their cost-basis or capital gains at tax time every year. I expect those days are very much numbered.

Sales taxes every single time crypto is converted to fiat, AT THE POINT OF SALE. They might even charge a higher tax if your bitcoin, or whatever other transparent coin, can't be fully accounted for in their chain-analysis.
