I was going to share Jesse's music. I second this recommendation.

This right here. I know so many people who got into the trades and made $100-250k per year here in the Midwestern US. That's after just 5-10 years in a trade. Starting out it might be half that, but you get raises as you advance in the trade and if it's a union trade you usually also get good yearly raises. So some trades will advance your pay every 6-12 months as you step up through the apprenticeship. So you move up quickly and you're getting paid for nearly all your training (minus some studying you do in your personal hours).

If you're willing to work overtime, plenty is available. As others have said, there's a large demand for people in the trades.

Check local union halls. Many of them will even help you with job shadowing people in the different trades so you can check the jobs out beforehand.

Following their logic we should just starve to death because chemicals and compounds...aka everything we eat, drink, and breathe.

Back when I first started using Linux, PulseAudio was not yet a thing. Back then I was using Mandriva/Mandrake and Redhat (prior to switching to Enterprise).

Hard to believe it's been that long already. Linux has come so far. I remember fighting with audio issues. The most frequent issue I remember having is not being able to have two different programs use the sound card at the same time. Haha. So no system sounds while listening to music.

Fair points. I guess none of that really bothers me since I'm not trying to do everything within a given number of in game years. I don't feel punished by the game ever except for maybe when I die in a dungeon and lose some of my stuff.

I could see how if you don't enjoy the day to day game loop that could be the punishment though. Haha.

I've heard some of these critiques of the game before. It surprises me how many people are bothered by the clock ticking down when there's no consequences to going at your own pace. That's what I find relaxing. I can just sit down, and explore, play, figure things out, etc. The fact that things aren't obvious and not spoon fed to you is enjoyable to me. There's not other people running around frantically. Didn't catch an NPC today? I'll catch them tomorrow. It's relaxing in its simplicity.

I think people don't find the game relaxing when they put their own restrictions and goals in place (Got to get this person to X number of hearts by such and such a date, etc).

Other than a set of encyclopedias, a good book is Pocket Ref by Thomas J Glover. It has all sorts of useful information (conversion charts, formulas, reference tables, etc.) You can also look at Desk Ref

Another are any of the Ugly's electrical reference books. Handy to keep with you if you do any electrical work or need to quickly reference some information. The Pocket Ref has pretty much the same stuff but Ugly's is more focused and less broad.

And of course a dictionary and thesaurus are good to have too.

what makes this worse is he was shooting a Glock. They have a different "safety" altogether. Designed specifically to prevent accidental discharge. He didn't drop the gun or something. He had to put his finger on the trigger.

I thought it was satire too. But nope.... Looks like in some countries they really have these different tiers.

I wonder if more people dive deep in the control panel than there are users of Linux. I bet there are and maybe even more that are willing to use regedit than there are Linux users.

I prefer their mushroom and swiss with grilled onions.
