I think another thing that isn’t being talked about with these layoffs, which would call for more unionization and policy making, is that “AI” is taking over these jobs.

Also when companies merge, there are “redundant” employees. So like the recent Microsoft layoffs, those were going to happen.

I know a few schools in my area tried to institute zero tolerance no phones rule and the screaming from parents was loud enough that they gave up. One of the big sticking points was because of school shootings. Another was that schools have been bad about getting kids on the bus, that kids are getting lost or even ending up in bus depots at the end of the day.

Great book

“Your call is very important to us.”

Don’t forget to include gerrymandering

And somehow these CEOs are still talking about pandemic money 3 years later.

Disclaimer: im an IPA drinker. But honestly, I will drink almost any style of beer. Just no bretts for me.

I’ve honestly gotten to the point where I’m just buying from my local breweries. I still grab some from the grocery stores, but I’m done hoping the grocery stores will carry the good stuff.

The local grocery that’s supposed to be the “good guys” (they aren’t) gutted their beer aisle and somehow got rid of almost all the good stuff.

The one I’m interested in is the “mini” reactors. They can build them in a fraction of the time. And from what I’ve read they appear to generally be “safer”, but it’s always hard to tell with all the bullshit we all get peddled.

I’m all for renewables and had hoped they’d have been more implemented by now, but here we are…

It’s like everyone forgot about post vietnam stories where kids were getting blown to bits just running around being kids.

The other talking point seems to be the failure rates of the cluster munitions, but left by the wayside is the fact that they can dismantle them and use the charge within to detonate mines.

It’s also very likely that Ukraine will be using the cluster munitions to clear out minefields more than using them as an attacking/defensive weapon

Hey no worries. I understand completely and had a not too dissimilar upbringing. Good on you!

The same can be said for an impact driver. Another benefit being that it’s extremely easy to use. I work in the trades, and for most everyone, the drill only comes out for specialty tasks where it serves better. Otherwise the impact driver is the daily do-all tool. Usually lighter in weight, and less cumbersome as well.

Edit: forgot to add that the impact driver also takes up less real estate and can fit in places most drills can’t.

Is there a specific DIY project in your near future you think you would use it for? If not, I wouldn’t recommend getting one and just have it sitting there. It would just be money best spent anywhere else.

Also, by drill do you mean an impact driver, drill, or drill with the hammer drill function? For home DIY, I find that having an impact driver, with a good set of impact ready drill bits and a variety of screw tips to be more useful than just a drill.
