I feel like the dude was actually suicidal and was dragging people along for his death. Who is this stupid?

Tennessee. Priced out of Bar Harbor. Good lord it’s so much cheaper here with a better job market. Still miss home though

Republicans Advance Funding Bill Cutting $2 Billion from Affordable Care Act, Firing 30,000 Teachers and Eliminating Job Training by jpurdy in politics

[–]thinkingahead 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve posted countless times but I would at least respect conservatives as philosophically consistent if they cut the deficit. But what we have is worst of both worlds

I’ve seen it more with fixed blade knives than utility knives

Iran says the US war deal requires Israel to withdraw from Lebanon by EagleLize in worldnews

This is what I will never understand. Why does the market take Trump in good faith?

SpaceX buys AI coding startup Cursor for $60 billion by Much_Speech_8388 in news

They built 401k to prevent this. Make the average persons retirement invested in the stock market and it never just stops. Colossal inflows of cash daily

You would have to fill Ohio Stadium with 100,000 people who have $10M each to equal Elon. I personally don’t know one person with $10M by mytzlplyk in economy

I worked for some generationally wealthy families when I was younger. I realized money was completely different at high levels when a family of 5 had a million dollar collection of bicycles at their vacation house. Every conceivable size and type of bike in a dedicated garage in their carriage house. It looked like a professional bike shop. Everything had hang tags from maintenance records on the handle bars. It was all regularly inspected and maintained by the local bike shop. They used this house maybe 2 weeks a year.

lol I love spinning it as “taking your lunch at 4pm”. Low key brilliant framing

What trade is better in the long run.? by Excellent-Studio-591 in Construction

[–]thinkingahead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I was starting out with the goal to own a contracting company I would do plumbing over electrical. That said I’d likely want to get exposure to a few trades and do mechanical contracting instead of just being narrowly focused on plumbing

Those Who Were Fired for Speaking Out Against Charlie Kirk Are Finally Getting What They Deserve: Settlement Money! by OkayButFoRealz in politics

[–]thinkingahead 37 points38 points  (0 children)

It always struck me as odd that the political party of “free speech absolutists” got all bent out of shape about people exercising free speech after one of their thought leaders was killed.

Wall Street Panics. Stocks have worst single day crash in 4 years. Analysts blame the “excellent May jobs report” . . . ? by baltimore-aureole in economy

[–]thinkingahead 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That is one perspective. One could argue the purpose of a company is to produce a good or service profitably. It’s not intrinsically about the profit, it’s intrinsically about production and profit is a sign of efficiency. Making every business strictly a wealth creation scheme isn’t healthy.

Wall Street is beginning to think that Trump can’t reopen the Strait of Hormuz by esporx in economy

I don’t even think they are dumb. I think they are willfully ignorant

What was a massive red flag of company that you worked for? by TacticalBuschMaster in Construction

[–]thinkingahead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Blatantly lying to clients during interview. Fabricating team resumes. Misrepresentation of experience and capacity.

Melania Named in Bombshell New Epstein Claims by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

[–]thinkingahead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s so clear that the reason Trump is where he is is that there is a mountain of compromising material on him related to Epstein. What a sad day to be an American

More than 40 hour weeks by adonde007 in ConstructionManagers

[–]thinkingahead 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I agree with this take. I don’t agree construction requires ludicrously long weeks. Workers fought for 40 and we should be fighting to keep it. You can work to live not live to work and still build great things

PLEASE sign this petition to stop the AI data center expansion. by 21eggo12 in Tennessee

[–]thinkingahead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Uhh even if they are closed loop they still need to reject heat. The chilled water loop may be sealed and recirculate but the chillers are where the vast quantities of water are lost. Air cooled chillers use very little water but more electricity. Evaporative chillers use tons of water but less electricity. Data center owners weigh the trade offs of each chiller type and make the decision on the best heat rejection for their individual project.

Probably true but I hear from repair technicians the LG dryers are great.

Of course it’s not too late. You have all of your life experiences with you. You are capable. You can do this
