It turns out the human anus is a terrible rocket nozzle

Have you seen the average griefer or troll in any multiplayer game?

If you’re measuring how quickly they can burn through cash, then they are remarkably efficient at that.

Giving the man who runs every company he touches into the ground a spot on a government efficiency agency is peak conservative governance.

I distinctly remember that being a selling point of his first campaign.

He was advertised as a Washington outsider, who had no connections and would drain the swamp.

I work at a college.

Our facilities department went from being under staffed with 10 employees, to having only 3 because everyone retired.

I’m in the trades, so I thought about applying for part time with them as a way to get some extra cash. But even though I am qualified to train people in my trade, I am apparently unqualified to do the work they want. The only listings that have are for people with 15 years experience and engineering degrees.

To primarily change air filters, light fixtures, and swap electric motors.

A summary is useless if it’s not accurate.

What terrifies me is the number of elevators I’ve been in that haven’t been inspected since the pandemic started.

Elevator cables are a consumable, they wear down faster than one would think. And while elevators are fairly safe machines with redundant safeties, I’m worried we’re going to see a big uptick in accidents. And that’s just elevators, I don’t want to even think about all the other infrastructure that hasn’t been inspected in years that could fail at any time. Pumps, backflow preventers, bridges, and dozens of other things need regular inspection and maintenance.

The problem is that they get golden parachutes while the engineer and dozens or hundreds of his peers who has invested years into a “good, established company” gets shafted due to lay offs.

It’s YouTube, there is no line, just a vague squiggle that you can cross without any warning.
