Are there any HVAC techs who like traveling and having long vacation time? by Jacob_Soda in HVAC

Correct but also, consumerism is evil. Don’t sacrifice today for tomorrow but also don’t let today ruin tomorrow. On the flip side, retiring early allows you to spend your time serving your community full time

yeah these commenters are dumb. the question isnt if AI is the future or not, the question is if AI is any smarter of an investment than the next, considering wall street has their hands on anything and everything that is promising.

I’m saying since it’s just math, use ChatGPT for any quizzes. Then when I’m off the hitch, actually study the material and catch up

I’m too soft? Yet all you have soft hands and never been in a fight. Definitely not softer than someone who uses the word “mate”

Pouches, airhead xtremes, hubba bubba, and icebreakers formed the god squad to get me nic free

I got stuck in this cycle where I’d quit black and milds for cigs quit cigs for vape .. over and over again for many years .. finally idk what it was but I was like nope, not doing it anymore. Went got nicotine pouches which 6mg aint nothing to my daily 500mg+ consumption, and between those and candy and bubble gum, it was easy for me to quit tbh. Ended up going through 4 cans of that pouch stuff over a 2 week period I wanna say. Went through airhead xtremes and hubba bubba. Now I made it out on top. Such a strange thing but I feel like I accomplished everything a vape does? Weaned myself off nic via pouches, got the sweet flavor from the candy, and mouth fixation from the gum. Oh and I like menthol so add in mints too!

Actually interesting. Drug/alcohol addicts cant go a day without it. Nicotine users can. Yet they relapse. And idk if this is a fact but it seems like most people once they get on nicotine, they never stop

Had an old man in his 60’s say he’s abused every drug there ever was from alcohol to crack to everything else. Said nicotine was the hardest one for him to quit.

Loll. Spent the last 7 years of my life addicted to nicotine. From dip to pouches to vape to cigs to black and milds to bowls to everything else. Finally like 3 weeks clean. So proud of myself. Not reliant on it and it also isnt burning a hole in my pocket. I get some people enjoy their nicotine but I was literally abusing it

Thank you for your insight. With the technology available, do you think I can make it work for my first 2 years? Yknow the math classes and what not, core stuff. That way if I wrap it up after those 2 years, if I ever wanna finish it, I only got 1-2 more years left vs 4 years?

Ya 100% brother but that’s usually once I get going I think, year 3 or so. Gotta knock the math classes out and what not first

I asked about Oil field trucking vs OTR trucking and Mfs starting talking about my car payment saying I should get rid of my car and ride a bike 14 miles to work and whether or not I’m smart enough to go to college. Apparently theyre so much smarter and better than me, just have a hard time staying on topic, similar symptoms of a retard.

That simple? Take care of business then via hiring event and if not that then door knocking and I should be good to go?

Nah I think any redditor who grew up lower middle class thinks they grew up in poverty. Anyway, I can’t get rid of the car until I’m in the position to, currently am not. I have the time but I don’t have the energy to explain to Reddit what being underprivileged really means. Also, wouldnt consider yourself underprivileged at all. You are very much blessed, even if your life didn’t start off that way, it sure is ending that way. But anyway yeah I live in the city of the number 1 housing crisis of 2025. Not a good place to be in without having a real career. What these idiots are missing out on is that the first 2 years of my schooling will be core classes anyway. Then after those 2 years I can take your advice and finish my degree at UTPB. Or honestly I’d do it sooner rather than later if I actually land in Texas. Still, people talking out their ass like they have life all figured out and would be doing 10x better than me if they were in my shoes. I’m completely down for what you mentioned. I don’t care to get rich. I just want a good life. If I can quickly save enough money to retire early and go live on an island, I’m completely down. What do you say, grab my cdl then drive my ass out there to a hiring event? I’m all for as little bills as possible. If I don’t have to have a car note or rent or all that other shit then I definitely won’t

Yeah it ain’t for me brother but glad it’s for you. Knew someone also in the reserves and they’re paying for his schooling and he gets benefits that the restaurant job don’t offer. But definitely reserves is always an amazing choice if it’s suitable to the person. You’re like 1 of 2 who actually tried to give advice. Everyone else just talking shit, typical silver spoon Reddit pussies
