    That works so excellently for the military. You’re technically able to be called back in at any time, but you’re also allowed to drink when you could reasonably expect to have that time off.

    And the clincher; you’re not allowed to be drunk on duty, so they can’t even say “no worries, I’ll pick you up” without implicating whoever ordered you in

    I had to install a network adapter driver the other day. Had to use my wife’s computer to download into a flash drive and bring it over to my computer with zero network connectivity.

    Granted, this only happened because my network card was broken.

    Thermonuclear take; the kind of work it takes to perform well in school is exactly the kind of work society is preparing kids for, so good school performance can still be a strong indication they’ll be good employees.

    Wether or not our society and schools are right for that is a much more interesting topic of debate. Kids who crush it in school (and continue to crush it all the way through college) will go on to make their companies loads of money for cheap.



  • Depends on a lot of things. I started an apprenticeship machining, and now I want to turn my garage into a machine shop.

    I think the important thing is that you make sure you keep some of it for you.

    If I did turn my garage into a machine shop, it would be tempting to start taking orders. That’s where my hobby would turn into more work, having to meet orders and timelines.


  • Music streaming is just … Objectively better for everybody. Small bands can be heard, hence the indy scene booming so hard, consumers can access their content anywhere there’s internet.

    I think you miss the ritual around getting physical media and having a session where you just sit back and listen to the album for the first time. You could try to replicate it, but I think child-like wonder was the main ingredient ;)
