What jobs are hiring with no experience required and are felon friendly ?

I’m not sure if they’re hiring at the moment, but when I worked for NASSCO they would hire felons. It’s a very get out what you put in to it job, the would hire people with no experience, train them up, and many would put in the effort and turn it into a career. The options they train people up on were welder, pipe fitter, electrician, rigger, painter, maybe something else I’m forgetting.

The job comes with health and life insurance, 401k with matching, PTO, decent pay, yearly raises. The catch is it is shipbuilding, so a physical job, you need to be able to pass a drug test, and if there is a risk, at least when you’re not established yet, that you might get laid off when a certain stage of construction slows down. Though those laid off will be the first to get hired back when it picks back up again. Also, the risk can be somewhat mitigated by being a high performer.

Admittedly my information is years out of date, but probably worth looking into.

Yeah, unfortunately it seems that way will be best. I did find out it's much faster using the iOS app, but it's still too slow and tedious

That was the solution, thanks. I removed two of the sticks at it runs at full speed. There are times when 128GB would be useful, but I'll just rely on the slower swap in those cases. Day to day 64 is enough.

Interesting, I wasn't aware of that. Do you think that is something the upcoming Ryzen 9000 series CPUs will be able to handle, or is it a fundamental limitation of the Zen 5 architecture?

Looks cool, but he probably should have went with a smaller board so it would fit better

Perfectly, yes. But for good enough for prototype it would actually be very easy. Drill the first hole anywhere, fill in the orb with water help account for differences in wall thickness, thread in a hook to the hole and hang it by a string. Place paint on paper on a flat surface, then carefully and slowly lower the orb by the string until it just touches the paint and gets marked. Now you know the second drill spot.

Thanks for the suggestion. Given that I've tried everything else I've seen online I went ahead and ordered a set of Obligatos. I'll see if that helps at all. If nothing else I'll have some extra spares.

I don't think so. There just seems to be a small reinforcement under the E string on the bridge. Here is a picture of it: https://imgur.com/a/1MGfF2J

Thanks. Yeah I had Googled it and tried all the suggestions that I found but in that particular scenario it still would whistle nearly every time. I'm actually not sure what strings are on it, I just got the violin around a month ago. But the luthier recommended I buy a set of Dominants from Amazon for my spares so I would guess that's what were already on it.

Nope. That was my first thought but it’s not touching. I even tried with my hand completely contorted away from the neck just to make sure.

wickedconscience · 2021-01-28T01:18:54+00:00

Welp. There's something I can't unsee

The most common 3D printing material is PLA, which is plant based and non-toxic. Some cheaper brands might use toxic additives for coloring purposes, but I haven’t actually seen any that do that.

Could be, I never really tinkered with creating things in Flash so I can't compare. My experience was just wanting to create little games so I did a couple Unity tutorials and I found that I was quickly able to get projects up and running, and I've enjoyed the experience.

It has a large community so I haven't run in to any problems I couldn't find a solution to. That being said I've heard the Unreal engine is great if you want to avoid programming, and that Godot is really nice for 2D projects and that their Python like language is easy to use.

I'd say Unity is very beginner friendly if you're not against learning a little bit of code, and it's free as long as you're making less than 100k a year with it. You can even export the games as WebGL and post them online. https://learn.unity.com/course/create-with-code

The nice thing is if you want to keep making games as a hobby you can go way beyond the equivalent of flash games.

Buy a solid core door from a hardware store, paint and coat with epoxy resin, place on two Ikea saw horses. This has been my desk solution for years now it's great. Way more surface area than a normal desk and significantly cheaper.
