How are wages performing relative to inflation though? Not trying to be contrarian, just actually want to know. If ones wages aren’t increasing more than inflation, you could call that flat growth from their point of view. To your point though, it’s never been easier to start your own business or find a better paying…

I used to be a manufacturing engineer up there, and for your own sake... I’m glad you didn’t end up there. :P They burn your candle at both ends and the middle (though the pay, benefits, and my coworkers were all excellent).

I was there during one of their most recent expansions. They’ve definitely got more room to add on new buildings without disrupting current production, but man... it’s hell on manufacturing engineers. They’ll need to hire some more of those as well as new production line workers, which is good for the local economy.

More like a rectangular prism than a cube... ;)

Now there’s a business idea... Pizza Spheres!

As a dad of two (soon to be 3 in September), this is awesome. Thank you for the reminders of how to best support my amazing wife when Baby #3 comes in a couple months!

For anyone looking for one of these in better condition (albeit with more miles), mine is available to a good Jalop home:

As someone who has had to put a new shortblock into their 2005 LGT wagon (manual), I can attest that one can do it for about $6k installed, or $3-4 if you do the work yourself.
That being said... mine is also for sale to a good home if a Jalop is in need of a Subie wagon in their life.
Here’s the details:

Truth on proper form. I too find squatting heavy weights a bit easier than other lifts (ask me about my struggles with deadlifts, no one’s perfect!), but can really hurt myself when I don’t pay attention to form!

I’ll add another category to this: Foods That While Not Unacceptable to Other Passengers, Will Surely Make A Mess of Your Carryon if Crushed

Exhibit A: the inside of my backpack is now coated in crumbs after I thought it was a great idea to bring a bag of chicharrones on the plane as a snack.

They drove their ships to a new land, and the tide of war flowed into the net repeatedly.

But think of all the exercise you’d get! ;)

OMG I’m crying laughing reading the steak post... Totally an episode of Seinfeld.

Thanks! Clearly I need more coffee today haha

What movie is that from??

Someone needs to correct the graphics in that first video... “Opertational” =/= “Operational”

The reasonably priced car should be Mr. Bean’s Mini. :P
