Vote (cope) harder

I don’t get why people think I’m out at work or everyone supports me being gay or something based on my comment.

I’ve heard vile homophobia at work. They’re still gonna be homophobes no matter what in November

You’re saying this to a gay guy who works around trumpers in a factory.

Trump being president doesn’t mean the gays will be rounded up into camps or something. I hate when people play this card that we’re all gonna get fucking murdered and it’s my fault for not voting blue, like what? It’s apparent that it’s playing on emotions to use LGBT people as some weird guilt trip and it’s honestly pretty gross. I can take care of myself and my partner and our home just fine thanks. And I feel no differently safety wise whether it’s a Republican or Democrat in office.

God what the fuck is this comment. Donezo? Can you not make a genocide into tryin to be cute or whatever tf this is

Fuck Biden. Committed leftists / socialists / communists are not gonna hand wring about one president over another. I haven’t voted since Obama 2012, no plans to start anytime soon. Electoralism will not save us and I’m tired of hearing the lesser of two evils is the solution for the last, idunno 50 years? Unless a candidate were to stop all weapon sales to Israel (never gonna happen), it’s not worth all this song and dance bullshit

Cue every one of the factory workers at my job to crack jokes about a Chinese invasion all day

This seems like a dumb tiktok trend or some shit. It’s hard to get by in this world without a cellphone

But I just wish anyone would still want to talk on the phone. I love chatting with friends for an hour or so on the phone but everyone hates it now. Quick random texts just feel so much less personal. Ah well

Wow Linux 12 lookin sooo much better than Windows 12

Does an old school washer dryer that runs off timer relays / knobs / push buttons really have a CPU? I ask because that’s how mine is and I haven’t had to look at the controls but they seem dead simple to me. I get there’s different cycles but some simple ladder logic should be able to handle that, no? Half the world runs on simple machines like that.

Yes. Specifically industrial control and automation, which is apples to oranges to commercial and industrial building power distribution for example.

I worked for GE as a grunt first building inverters for solar fields and power plants. Then I did field service for them in the American southwest when they shut down the factory and sent all the work to GE Germany and Japan.

Then when all of the re-work we were doing was done, I passed on traveling indefinitely and came back home to Pittsburgh. I got hired opening a new factory for a company that makes machinery used for plastics recycling and worked there for close to a decade as their only electrical technician. That shop holds a deep place in my heart for the connections and friendships I made there. But I saw us getting slow as fuck and everyone quitting and decided to switch jobs this year for a better paycheck and closer commute. Now I work solely in testing and do a bit of design work and drafting.

Trades are always hiring. My phone says I walk like 5 miles a day just working in our factory. I use my brain, body, problem-solving skills, and have real conversations with my coworkers daily about how to go about the work and solve problems, or just pass the time when we’re not as busy. I learn new things constantly and enjoy working with my hands and making my work look beautiful, which can be surprisingly deep in the field of industrial electrical work.

Just know that if anyone’s interested in this kinda thing, make sure you have some thick skin and maybe leave a terminally online brain at home

Well remember when that Arch update broke grub?

I couldn’t boot into my PC at all. And for whatever reason, the fix they posted on the Arch wiki wasn’t working for me.

I deleted my bootloader in a live ISO environment and installed a different one (rEFInd). It was actually very easy.

Having the flexibility and power to do whatever you want to your system is truly something I deeply appreciate with Linux.

I got some massive 48U rack off Craigslist for like $50 and then cut it in half with an angle grinder, got some steel and screwed it all together to keep it stable. It ain’t pretty but the Frankenstein monster vibe adds to its character.

And I’m using the other half for audio equipment down the line so it all worked out

Arch baybeeee 💯💯💯
