I also would hire anything with a pulse since we can train them on the job, but they can’t have a criminal record due to the clients we deal with and some work travel is required. It’s also messy work – fiberglass – and a lot of people don’t want to do that (and I don’t blame them lol).
Yeah, probably. We have posts up on indeed and in the local papers but we’re getting nothing worth following up on. And I don’t think anyone hires recruiters to track down manual laborers.
I’ve had a job posting up for 3 months in the Midwest USA for a couple of warehouse positions starting at $25 an hour and I’m barely even getting any applicants. We still have a few boomers and GenX in the warehouse but the millennials (like me) and GenZ went to college so they aren’t looking for these jobs, at least around here. We’re a very small company so the weird thing to me is that this is an easier warehouse than Amazon to work in, by far, and the Amazon hub 10 miles down the road has no problem staffing, even though they only pay $16.00/hr and their benefits sucks ass compared to what we offer. The average warehouse pay in my area for my industry is $18 an hour.
I visited Buffalo in March on the tail-end of our Niagara Falls trip on the CA said (and went to a Sabres game and some great bars/restaurants). I really loved the feel of the neighborhoods around the city there. We live in St. Louis, in a similarly old house to what we saw in Buffalo (ours was built in 1906, they’re all brick here though). As you pointed out, there are houses on tree-lined streets here as well, and I’m within a mile’s walk of 5 or 6 large parks that often host free concerts and other events, I can walk to a fair amount of bars and restaurants, and plenty of other things. The only real thing holding it back where I live is how car-centric the construction has been. I could walk to the Soulard district easily (less than a mile) but in order to do so, I have to cross a 5-lane road called Gravois, which has bad visibility in both directions, and people tend to run red lights there often. There’s no protected pedestrian crossing and people get killed there every year by cars, so we usually just drive over there. The city is finally working on walk-ability and public transpo by extending the Metrolink commuter rail to go north/south, and by adding a protected bike lane on one of the main thoroughfares (Jefferson). We’re also seeing the construction of a lot more mixed use buildings (apartments on the upper levels, retail on the ground floor) and that has been a very welcome addition. I feel like we moved from the suburbs to the city at exactly the right time, as there’s additional (booming) growth in Midtown and Downtown West thanks to the addition of our MLS team and all the land they’ve revitalized, which has in turn attracted development to a previously fairly barren area.
One of the first things I did when joining kbin was start blocking many of the meme communities. It’s just not for me. Same reason I deleted my Facebook all those years ago. The ONE exception is LOTRmemes because come on
Same here. I’ve had mine for a few weeks and I love it. The battery life is amazing too, I charge it once a week.
Maybe r/offmychest ?
My wife loves AITA even though she’s fully aware that most of them are fake. I’m sending this list to her to see if she recognizes any lol
Hmm well it was 430 miles but yes I did drive safely.
Which book? I’ve never heard of him before today but after reading a few articles I’d like to check out one of his books. Googling sends me quite a few results.
The 7 hour drive I had last week included one stop for gas, but that’s it. We usually refer to the amount of time the gps says it will take.
Pay off my mortgage, invest it and live off the interest, and spend the rest of my life traveling with my wife
I’m the opposite. I live in the midwestern US so when it’s hot, it’s also humid. If my room is above 72F I can’t even sleep, I just sweat right through the sheets. On the other hand, when it’s 40F out, I’ll open my windows and sleep in my boxers.
I’m 34 (male) and my brother is 31. He’s my best friend (besides my wife) but he moved like 10 hours away so we try to fly a couple of times a year to hang out. We text every day multiple times.
Yep I live in Missouri, albeit a very blue section (St. Louis) and I know the hicks in the rural parts want people like me to leave, but fuck them, not gonna, just gonna stay here and fight it out.
Same thing as Lemmy, just a different site but it’s federated as well. Lemmy can see kbin content and we can see Lemmy content. I’m replying from kbin right now.
I have Firefox set to automatically do all that whenever I close my browser but it’s still somewhat of an issue on kbin. Not enough to bother me but it happens.
Just kbin and discord, I have no other social media.
Bioware made the previous Baldur’s Gate games so that makes sense lol
