Yeahhhhhh, I used to recommend his channel to young engineers and techs because of how thorough he was at explaining the how and why of mechanisms. I don’t anymore which is a shame because he was knowledgeable.

In Texas, your property tax is already somewhat two tiered. Your first home is taxed as a homestead and you get an exemption on part of the property tax. If you own a second, third, etc you have to pay the full amount and the annual increases are not capped. Im not 100% sure on the specifics as I don’t own more than 1 though.

We did formal typing classes in school starting from primary school up to middle school but that was not what made me a proficient typist. I got comfortable with a keyboard and more proper typing by actually doing it.

Some of that is on me for being a little shit in school, some of it is because the classes were shit. My point was that typing is a skill and there is more than one way to learn it and that a generation shouldn’t be judged from a snapshot at a relatively young age.

That said, a relatively large number of the younger engineers I work with ARE missing critical basic tech/mechanical/problem solving skills so I do recognize that there seems to be a generational difference in some areas. I didn’t get to work with a young engineer from a previous generation when they were a young engineer though so I can’t say that for sure.

I was born im 1990, grew up on desktop computers, and did the hunt and peck thing until I actively began using my keyboard for research papers, essays, etc. It is a skill that I picked up on with use, not from instruction.

Yeahhhhhh luthier-ing is a rabbit hole all its own… I am about to start on build 3, from a tree in my yard.

Does it cook the same as regular cream?

Currently working in oil and gas again after trying really hard to get away from that after working in a related industry for the last 10 years. I have mixed feelings about it, but my commute went from 75 miles/day to 3, I get to spend 3+ more hours a day with my family, and I am paid more. The benifits for me, monetarily, my personal environmental impact, and on my mental/family health are worth the compromise of how my work impacts the world. At the end of the day, my chair would be filled with someone else if it wasn’t me. I am happy that because it is me, I am limiting my envionmental impact even if I don’t agree with the industry.

Tagging along on this question, is there a reasonably simple way to rip audible books to a non-proprietary/drm format?

Nah, this bathroom has been like this since the early 2000s.

I mean, it is in a Cajun place…

Many, many more, as long as they are even ocassionally successful.

Only one side is accessible though. Choose wisely.
