I'm tired, as an older Gen Z. I'm over it.
  • I don't know where you're at in your career but as an older millenial genx or boomers complaining about your work ethic is a joke dude. They ran these companies into the fucking ground lmao. When I was younger I kind of liked that office space 'nothing matters' affect but man, you do not want to work with/rely on those people at all.

    Was kinda nice seeing the shift to writing think pieces about zoomers after all the shit they talked about millennial over the years but they'll move on. Just ignore it. But seriously watch these people at work they're useless. My parents paid for college with a summer job; I worked 40+ hour weeks in high-school. There's no comparison on work ethic here

  • Wasn't prepared for all the dudes telling me to beat my kids

    It's always in a joking manner... but not really? Just like "yeah you gotta pop em once or twice so they'll know". Idk shits weird

    What small piece of advice you would like to give that isn't heard enough ?
  • You can just change careers whenever. No one cares. When I was younger it seemed so set in stone like you learn a trade you're a plumber for life. Go to college your major is what you're doing for life. It's not true I knew a philosophy major that was working as an elevator engineer. Do HVAC for 20 years then do something else. It's fine

  • Looking for 'the ethnic cleansing of palestine'

    Got a buddy that'll only listen to audiobooks. Heard an interview with the author on millennial are killing capitalism sounded good. Anyone have it?

    The econ blogosphere hasn’t really checked, but knows in its heart American workers aren’t up to the job.

    Most companies I've worked for in manufacturing think they are God's gift to the industry when really they're just sitting on some clutch patents and being run into the ground. Idk how there is still production work here

    Baby number 2 sleeping peacefully

    Hospital was having all kinds of problems today but the c section went smooth, the parade of family visiting is done, mom and baby are down for the count. Very happy to be scrunched up on this uncomfortable ass hospital chair

    What is your best school/college life-hack?
  • Was talking to my friend about this the other day in the context of trade school but I think it applies here: you can change careers whenever you want. When we were younger it felt like such a big decision to pick a trade or in this case a major because it seemed like you were locking in for life, but you can just like... go do something else. No one cares. Someone wanted to hire me as an engineer the other day and I struggled to graduate high-school. Education is kind of a shotgun approach. You get a really broad understanding of a lot of thing because your actual job will probably only use a fraction of it and they're trying to prepare you to not be completely lost wherever you end up.

    Also old teachers are really lazy and the test is probabaly pretty similar, if not identical, to the one they gave last year. Good to know people a little older or save things for your younger siblings.

  • What's the plan to tackle the horde of incoming AI bots?
  • The horde aspect might make it easier. The ones on twitter at least you can tell are just running the same script through a thesaurus basically. 20 people leaving the same comment is a little more obvious than just one

  • Anyone know some resources for learning welding?

    Inherited a little flux core welder a while ago if you know of any good books or videos please share. Had a stick welder years ago but never got a feel for working on thin stuff, I'm guessing this will be the opposite problem.

    I het the general theory looking for like practice drills and how to read a weld to know what wrong

    Is there anything actually useful or novel about "AI"?

    Feel like we've got a lot of tech savvy people here seems like a good place to ask. Basically as a dumb guy that reads the news it seems like everyone that lost their mind (and savings) on crypto just pivoted to AI. In addition to that you've got all these people invested in AI companies running around with flashlights under their chins like "bro this is so scary how good we made this thing". Seems like bullshit.

    I've seen people generating bits of programming with it which seems useful but idk man. Coming from CNC I don't think I'd just send it with some chatgpt code. Is it all hype? Is there something actually useful under there?

    The contests have names such as Predator Slam, Squirrel Scramble and Final Fling for Fox. And they sometimes challenge hunters to bag the heaviest coyote or the heftiest bunch of squirrels to win a cash prize.

    lemmygrad.ml "Research" by US university says lemmygrad is the 4th most popular "tankie" website - Lemmygrad

    The whole article [https://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.06981.pdf] is quite funny, especially the lists of most used tankie words, or the branding of foreignpolicy as a left-wing news source.
