The organization of the UN should be dissolved, or the US?

I’d be in favor of the peaceful dissolution of both, but preferably only if we had some way to ensure the power vacuum they created would not be filled by some stronger more consolidated organization. Let that source of power dissipate and the parasites that feed off of it diminish.

I certainly don’t want you redeemed. The world needs more sinners like you, like us. 😉

Am I supposed to be praying for your redemption, or praying for you to sin with me?

And you never get answers when completing them. Did I get 2 images presented because I guessed wrong on the first, or because I was randomly selected to perform a second as part of a training sample.

My father was a motorcycle rider and I grew up in a country of mopeds. The distinction of the presence or lack of pedals was an important one. I suppose it might not be to most captcha writers or captcha clickers. (Captchors and captchees?)

Isn’t it a white man’s phonetic spelling of an old Indian name, so there are a myriad of acceptable spellings? Also I wouldn’t put it beyond possible that her interns can’t spell.

Today's gig

In Missouri, residential, rural septic systems fall under the jurisdiction of the county health departments. They require a soil morphology evaluation from a registered soil scientist before they will issue a permit. I'm one of the people that does these evaluations.

A degree is not required, but you do need 20 hours of college soil courses to get licensed. As a result, soil scientists are the guys that took the college path. And of course, guys that operate excavators did not go through the college route.

When I first got licensed, I didn't get many calls because the few old established soil scientists already had longstanding relationships with the installers. So what did I do? I got my installer's license, partnered with an equipment operator, and we started installing our own systems. He owned the equipment and did the digging, and I had the license, did the evaluations, and designed the systems.

Since then, I've gotten more calls for evaluations, I've become a decent equipment operator myself, I've added a dump trailer to my enterprise, and as far as I can tell, I'm the only soil scientist in the state that will do their own digging.

I share this story because I was listening to this podcast on the way to the job site today.

They talked a lot about the younger generation getting started today and not seeing a worthwhile end in sight.

When I was in my mid-twenties just starting out, I had in mind that I just needed the required license for my chosen line of work and then opportunities would just show up. But it didn't work that way.

I had to adapt. I had to tweak my business model, I had to add new skills to my repertoire. I have by no means "made it" or accomplished all my goals yet. But, now in my mid-thirties, I have reached a point where my end goals are faintly visible on the horizon. So it is possible.

I guess to sum it up in video game terminology, you have to slog your way through the wasteland and gain xp before you get to level up, but if you keep playing the game, you'll get there.

Also, to continue the analogy, you can pick up cool gear along the way.

Sort of. I manage the server it’s sent and received from but it’s co-located elsewhere. Although now that I have better Internet service then when I moved in, I keep considering moving it home and just running a backup MX elsewhere. If start9 would get us a server side IMAP filtering setup, I’d be all over that. For now it’s not worth the hassle of changing setups.

I feel sad every time I read someone’s resume. I pick “the best” of them for a phone interview, which makes me sadder still for the state of humanity. I don’t think most of my candidates could bake a cake from a box, with directions.

If you’ve got a good head on your shoulders, you’ll stand out to the right people.

You can delete those things?! I have all my emails, chats, texts since an unbacked up hard drive crash in 2001. That said, if we stopped talking/dating, I’m not reaching back out unless we move in the same circles and build some level of in person friendship again.

I build and remodel houses on spec. This is my retirement. I’ll do it until I physically can’t, then I’ll have to live on my BTC.

I want to enjoy this picture (as directed) but without seeing the hands, what’s to say it’s not more AI generation?

I hope he kept his assets in BTC to keep them freeze proof

Oh wait … he didn’t.
