I’m working on it. I teach middle school shop and CAD.

Also, be willing to work swing and night shifts. Speaking from experience those are the hardest shifts to staff, especially when it comes to maintenance and engineering support. Most factories run 24-7 these days. A machine goes down at 11pm management wants it back up ASAP. No one wants to lose an entire shift of…

What about tires that need to be replaced anyway? May as well give them a good send off

One of my favorite teachers in high school had one of these, and she let me drive it on occasion (usually when her bad knee was hurting too much to work the clutch). Light, very direct steering, and lots of fun to drive. Comically slow by modern standards, but if you were drag-racing a Ford Escort 1.6 or a Chevy…

Karma? Fuck you, you don’t know the guy. Show some respect for the dead.

Easy there Killer.

Eagles may soar, but weasels don’t get sucked into jet intakes.

Bruce Lee had a saying about always pushing yourself past/through your limitations, and if you died, you died. He felt that if you weren’t living like that, you were already dead. Those guys are heroes. R.I.P. and prayers to your family.

The most American of races gets a true American’s sentiment--too cool.

When we invent teleportation all these airlines are going out of business.
