It's hard to find a trade job that suits a middle-aged tall guy with a dad bod, no agility and a fear of heights.

I wouldn't be a good welder, electrician, plumber or fitter. You need to crawl and climb all over the place in jobs like that.

I looked into what they expect computer guys in the rail industry. They have formal requirements. It's not like in the IT industry where you just have to be a geek. You have to go to trade school and learn digital electronics there.

If I'm going to school, it needs to be for something new though. Maybe CNC operator or some other kind of metalwork or woodwork that you can do on a table.

Iron is surprisingly lethal for such a common metal. Takes about 8 to 10 grams to kill a full grown adult.

What is your favorite non-nonsensical compass direction?

Had a voice call with a tradesman. He told me should use my IT skills on oil platforms, since Norway has a lot of those. I mean, it makes sense. I want to go out there and we have all these oil platforms, and I know IT. I'm too stupid to know what to go for so I have to ask...

Decent Demo of Building and Testing an Apache #NuttX App in the Web Browser ... Finally! 🎉

Bodily autonomy is sacred. That means I beleive all drugs should be legal without a prescription, abortions legal, and no one should ever be forced to take a vaccine, drug or wear a mask.

@AmpBenzScientist @freemo You know they do make AR-15s in more "manly" calibers if you want one.

The purpose of the .556 was not so much weak men who couldn't handle recoil. It was poor marksmanship and the attempt to compensate by letting soldiers carry more ammunition.

2SLGBTQI+ ... literally just saw that. I was going to be mad thinking they left someone out but thankfully they added that +. Well played guys, well played.

> let me guess you were wearing shield protectors and ffp3 mask?

We actually use N95 in the lab

> That's way beyond what an average teenager will wear. The average teenager, if forced, will wear ffp2 masks (because these are the most common) and ... probably the same multiple times.

Exactly, they have bodily autonomy. They can wear protection or not, thats their choice their body. If they choose not to wear protection thats on them. It is not my responsibility to habe my bodily autonomy infringed on simply because some other people are too lazy to wear appropriate protection. Doesnt work that way. You wear whatever level of protection you want, worry about yourself, you are more than capable of protecting yourself regardless of my choices with my body.

> No, it's not "my fault" if I am an average person that buys an average mask from an average shop.

Just like its not my fault if im an average person and does what average people do, and not wear a mask at all.

> People with covid symptoms should just wear a mask.

See now you just moved the goal post, now your not talking about requiring masks of the general public but only people with symptoms. Despite the goal post being moved this is still a horrible take. Anyone with COVID should remain indoors, its the polite thing to do for sure. But since the overwhelming majority of people who get COVID are asymptomatic and never know they have COVID that will do little good regardless.
