They literally hired a person to gatekeep the printers? That is such a waste time time. One of the many reasons why corporate sucks.

Most presidential elections have had some kind of doomsayers. This particular election has a candidate that supported (supposedly indirectly) an insurrection, stated it's ok to execute political opponents, and has openly said some very nazi like things. This election is a bit different than the others.

Then the left puts up a weak candidate, again, and says eat that shit sandwich, so I get the frustration.

You are flat out wrong.

In the U.S. (not sure if this is elsewhere) you have the work number too. Employers that participate share every pay period and bonis to your record. Then future employers can look up and see exactly how much you were making when they run the background check.

Don't kink shame.

Too bad spending money is considered "free speech" and all those tax haven dollars are used to buyout the people with the power to fix that problem

Working only 60 hours a week and hoping that a sickness doesn't bankrupt you.

Share the models of thingiverse for others to use.

Agreed that it would be gone if it was feasible. I worked for a small manufacturer and helped with quoting. It was three times less for us to send a product to Mexico for production.

Where the US is better is automation and complexity. In Mexico or was difficult to find the technical resources able to handle automated and complex projects. Mexico was better for any manually/ sinple assembly job, as they could just throw more people at it to ramp up production. Note that these are generalities that my specific team used.

Fantastic news.

As a white collar worker, how can I contribute to this change?

[–] DEngineer@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Depends on age. Being younger, I would probably work and try to live off my 24K for a couple years, putting away the salary from my job. If the lifestyle fit, then I would quit and take this path with a little safety net setup.

 

My dad had been growing for awhile now but he is running into this on a few of his plants. He hasn't changed anything from previous successful grows. Water, soil, nutrients is all the same and fresh.

These were started indoors until about two foot tall and planned outdoor. Zone 5B. Watered daily, no water logging off soil. All three were started from seed and all the are different strain. My dad is very experienced with this but I am not. If I left anything important out please let me know and I'll get the info from him.

 

My father has been growing as a hobby the past few years. This is one of his latest grows.
