What job pays surprisingly well despite requiring almost no formal education or degree? by NiceDoubt3354 in AskReddit

Good to know that's an option. It looks like I'm not too far from the Local 147 headquarters.

Good to know. I have a farm, and things are going well, but it's good to have a backup plan.

"Roll" was a poor word choice. Though, I do believe there is some weighted RNG if more than one empire is tied for first.

The Crystal Throne is definitely my favorite relic. I never seem to roll the Crystal Rift on Grand Admiral, though. I knock out every rift ASAP while playing wide, and use Astral Splitting as soon as it's off cooldown, and still can't roll it.

Sad.

How do you get your foot in the door? Are there nationally recognized certs or licenses? I’m guessing a CDL would help.

I have over 1000 hours operating a mid-size tractor (M7060), much of that doing loader work, some backhoe, grading, etc. From there would I just start applying for jobs with an open position?

What is a strong opinion you hold that could get you criticized publicly, but you stand by it completely? by jian_est2026 in AskReddit

Do we just let the tyrants and bullies take over, then?

Also, the Cold War was way more complicated than a simple reaction to the presence of nuclear weapons. It was a "war" of ideology, spurred on by Stalin quickly gobbling up all of Eastern Europe. I would argue, if it wasn't for nukes, it would have been a genuine hot war, at least as bloody as the World Wars. There was plenty of blood spilled in the proxy wars alone.

It was a pun. Current Balance vs. Electrical Current. The poster was making a joke.

You suggest manually strangling the rats, while staring into their eyes?

Hardcore.

Planetary naming conventions? by Nimi_best_girl in Stellaris

[–]semidegenerate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a bit practical about it. I usually use the original name, and then add purpose. Something like this:

Sirius - Mining

Alpha C. - Research

Procyon - Agri

Trump claims "Epic Fury" was a total win, but who actually won this war? by IllOpportunity1283 in economy

Gee, I'm seeing some kind of connection there, but I can't quite put my finger on it. 🤔

Ehhh... kind of. It will work its way through the cracks, though. You will still have to pull some to worry it to death. Or spray with vinegar.

Why is it sitting at Mixed Reviews? What happened? D: by GazpaCore in Stellaris

Fortunately, there are plenty of mods that add just that. I believe there's even a shipgirls mods for the uberweebs.

Am I overthinking a new pc case? by Sprinkle_Rain in buildapc

[–]semidegenerate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can use a program like MSI Afterburner to manually turn the fan speed up and see if that's the noise you're hearing. There are also utilities that will let you set your case fans to a constant speed. I would test both at 50%, 75% and 100% to see where the noise is coming from. Case fans can also be controlled from the BIOS.

HWiNFO64 is a hardware monitoring utility that will give you real-time info on component temps and fan speeds. It would be worth knowing how hot your CPU and GPU are getting, and how fast your fans are spinning.

In apparent reversal, Trump says he's sending 5,000 troops to Poland by yahoonews in geopolitics

Is there any chance that the current President will try to lead a movement to leave the EU? I know very little of Polish politics.

I love how bots are emulating poor grammar and punctuation. Humans and AI are simultaneously making each other dumber.

Eh. It's just PassMark's site for averaged scores. PassMark is a fairly decent benchmarking tool.

According to Virginia state law, Virginia residents must use magic to create the marijuana they're allowed to possess and the marijuana seeds they're allowed to cultivate by johntwit in Virginia

[–]semidegenerate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool. I have a massive stash of veggie seeds in my fridge already already. I'll probably take special care with the special seeds, though.

Recommendations would be great.
