    What's the "dark side" of the industry you work in?

  • One thing I fucking hate about contractors and getting work done by shops in general is when they use your property to teach rookies, so you get a shit job done.

  • To be honest, everyone one did back then, often with different body parts. Feet were the "banana for scale" back in the day.

    Back then, very few measuring systems were accurate in favor of accessibility. Everyone's got feet. Everyone walks (a mile is roughly 1000 steps), so on and so forth.

    Eventually measurements started being used for design, where accuracy was paramount, so archaic measurements became standardized.

    It sounds crazy but a lot of stuff back then was made with zero measurements. I'm into woodworking and back then they used references. You'd literally look at a board, and draw a line where it looks about right. Then you'd reference the rest of the components, so the sides may be 2/3 the length of the apron, and the top would be around waist height. Story sticks were also used, where you'd continually add marks to a stick whenever you needed to transfer a measurement. Its called story sticks since you'd make a new one for every project, and it tells a story on how the piece was made, from every measurement and marking.

    It's also no coincidence that metric was designed right before the industrial revolution. I just wish everyone adopted it instead of slapping a bandaid onto old systems.

    What would you rate Donald Trump's actual chances of getting more than two full terms as U.S. president?

    Jump

  • Democrats are practically shoving the voting base towards trump. Their whole selling point is "saving the system that's starving you".

    Trump promised to destroy it, and destroy it he will. Not for us of course.

    Same thing happened in 1930s Germany. Nornal parties were just gonna keep things going, while people had to use wheelbarrows of cash to buy a loaf and Hitler promised to destroy it all and make Germany the greatest its ever been.

  • She never taught me to tie my shoes. I didnt know until I was like 15.

    Both my mom and dad were workaholics, and my babysitter was a far closer parent than they were

  • What's the dumbest argument you've ever had?

    Jump

  • This happens every time I go outside without a coat during winter. If I'm going to the grocery store, and I'm only outside for 60 seconds, I dont need a coat. Obviously if I was going on a hike then I'd need it.

    Where'd this myth even come from about cold causing colds? Its even in the name! I can't imagine how many hours of pointless arguing occurred between parents and children because of it

  • She's smart enough to have a financial advisor, and honestly they're the reason she has as much wealth as she does. Other than that she is kind of a corpse. Shell lie in bed for days at a time, her screen time is often around 18-22 hours per day.

  • My main problem is that she is CONSTANTLY changing passwords. I try to teach her how to use her passwords manager, and have a printout in the vault, but she is too lazy to get the password, and type it in. She is too lazy to even track the new password she makes.

  • Ugh I hate whenever something goes wrong the blame is always placed on the last guy who worked on it. If you ever build a PC for someone, you better believe you are gonna be tech support for that thing FOREVER.

    I'd understand if you had issues immediately, or days after, but if its been weeks, months or even years? Gtfo. Thats longer than most free warranties.

  • Honestly even though she is pretty abusive, she's told me that I'm the sole beneficiary in he trust. My sisters went no contact and she's divorced.

    With how much money she has, and how easily she gets hacked and scammed, I dont trust using single passwords. She also makes accounts for EVERYTHING. She even had an account for a fucking calculator. With the variety of stuff she makes accounts for, I wouldn't trust a single password.

  • My mom.just keeps talking and talking even when I'm trying to focus on something. Eventually she starts yelling at me to take them out and that I'm very rude for not listening.

  • I live I a place with crazy high rents and my only other option would be homelessness. Im still in training/education, and if I had to stop, id never be able to get better paying job and I'd be a wageslave the rest of my life.

    Honestly we are relatively upperclass, and after some financial lessons I realize its so fucking expensive to be poor.

  • Again, she has trouble keeping track of things. Ive given her a printout with her passwords and she loses the paper, and doesnt know how to print it, or is straight up too lazy to type in a long complicated password, so she just makes a new random one.

    She can't even keep track of the new passwords she makes, so I dont think this would make a very big difference

  • Having me put in as her caretaker might be a really good idea. I do basically everything, and soon I'll be doing all of the driving, since her own ability is highly diminished. She is a total control freak. Even though I have been living here for like 3 years, and cooking everything, she still doesn't let me organize the kitchen the way I'd like to. She has so much random crap that she puts everywhere. We have a dozen pots and pans but only use 3. She also buys EVERYTHING in bulk, so there is always so much shit everywhere. BUYING 100 ROLLS OF TOILET PAPER DOESN'T SAVE THAT MUCH MONEY.

    She also loves to collect tons of free food from pantry's and stuff them into the fridge or home pantry as if it's a bottomless pit. She always thinks "more food, more better" but it just leads to ingredients that I never use cause its 2feet behind tons of random shit. Sorry for the rant. I need it.

  • Ok, make sure not to change the password again, and use your password manager.
