I'm so at peace right now, the flow is good. I don't need the hustle of chasing mllions of dollars. The owner of the company can deal with that, I just want to do my 8 hours and go home free and clear.

I've tried both. I've seen what both offer and I'm so confident in my decision that I just sit back and watch the gong show at this point. My decision gets further cemented when I ask my tech friends how work is going.

Absolutely. It's not perfect but safety is in your control, and all up to you. I accept the trade off, as the alternative is going back to linkedin and begging for a job all day. This is why I try to hoard all my money. I don't wa

Absolutely. It's not perfect. I risk crushing my hands everyday. Or falling. Or causing 10s of thousands of dollars in damage because I didnt tighten a bolt. Arthritis is likely. But it's still incredibly rare, and mainly in your

Maybe 10 years ago. Now you have to fight 300 other applicants for an entry position that pays $50k in NYC. The biggest thing for me that pushed me over the edge was thinking, how will I get a mortgage? All this applying, 100s of applicatio

I try everyday to apply my tech background to my mechanics. I use it for things like torque specs and brain storming issues but nothing much else. Utilizing it for business purposes is certainly an option too. Possibly in the far future, ha

I'm not concerned. If the trades get replaced, then its just over for everyone. Then literally nothing is safe. Besides, unless we build physical robots to trace airlines and replace them, I'm safe.

That's how the majority get into it. My first year course, half the students were all from the public transit and knew each other.

I had lots of personal experience under my belt. I built a hot rod out my garage on the cheap (because I was broke and wanted a nice car). I used that on my resume and they were extremely excited on that. The company I work for is famous fo

I love software, but knew I would quickly learn to hate it. I'm not going to be working on my passion projects. I'd be working on horribly boring software used by some corporation. I really wanted to go into tech because I've

I'm a car guy, and a computer guy. I wanted a nice car, so instead of racking up mega debt on a $70,000 mustang I bought an old classic car and learned everything. After 5 years I fully restored it on the cheap (less than $10k) and now

My entire life I've done tech. I remember in middle school all my teachers knew me as the kid who wrote code. I did my degree, and did an internship but nothing ever really stuck (still not sure what happened with that) and my full tim

After 5+ years of actively trying to get into the field (pre AI), I left. I threw my degree in the toilet, I closed my linkedin, and I went to go work in the trades as a diesel mechanic. Greatest choice I've ever made. The pay is great

This implementation isn't using webworkers either. Moving the java VM to a webworker would likely improve performance 10 fold.

I'm saying it's clearly people pushing an agenda when there's bigger threats. I'm pointing out that if it was truly about children dying, they would focus on bigger dangers, like suicide (#1 cause of death for teens), dr

Maybe that's your experience within your specific company but that's not the normal. If you guys have vacant positions, I'd love to apply. Anonymously of course.

Sorry but that's simply not accurate at all. The entry positions are FLOODED with new comers. We aren't hiring them because they're the best fit, we have plenty of unemployed locals begging for work. To say we only bring in t

Were you very specialized in a certain field, filling a senior position? As a Canadian with a CS degree who's been trying to get into tech for years, this is horrible to hear. We have thousands of new grads in Canada who end up working

Lots of tradesmen will go "up north" into the oil fields for some hard hard labour but with incredible pay. Most do it once or twice in their life for a couple years and come back to normal relaxed day job (although some are absol

A lot of it is private sales and there's a couple sites selling this land specifically. Not a typo, I meant like acorn away your savings.

Canada has always seemed like a unique situation. We're a massive country with tiny population. This opens the door to cheap remote land. Lot of cottage land in northern Ontario goes for pennies and has acres. Infact a lot of it so rur

There has been storage at the atom level, which I would assume to be the highest density. Although, its not anything production ready any time soon.

Looking at the leaked GTA VI videos and seeing ImGui being used by Rockstar internally is pretty neat how even a multi-billion dollar studio will use the same open source project we all use.

You absolutely can and I have before. However, I blended it 70% WMO and 30% diesel. Used motor oil WILL carbon up everything. It's so full of ash that it'll pool up internally. You need to used a centrifuge to pull out the carbon.

1994 Toyota pickup with a Om617 swap. I bought a kit for the engine swap then did all the work to swap it. I did nothing to handle the oil. It just works. You pour it in the tank and go. However, it doesn't work in the winter without a

Interesting. I've been running that for years in my diesel truck. A mechanical diesel will run basically whatever you can pump through its fuel system. I assume jet engines are roughly the same. However they have some major standards,
