I agree with you.

Can we also look at the counterpoint? Where people who are hired for entry level jobs, literally because they have no experience, come into a role and start acting like they don’t need any guidance, or assistance?

I’d say part of the issue is also that they have a “captive audience”. I’m not sure how the numbers break down, but i’d bet a good ratio of truck purchasers use their vehicle for their job (i.e. not just to get back and forth, but to haul, tow, etc).  This means you can “make money” with the vehicle and that is…

Despite all that moolah, you’d probably be a little pressed to remember more than a handful of memorable titles like Transparent, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and The Boys.

Yearbooks were a reasonable thing before you could literally stay connected to everyone you knew (or didn’t know) to a completely ridiculous degree.

Google announces intent to purchase Matter in, 5,4,3....

I feel like the shortages of things at the beginning of the pandemic lockdown made their mark. Anyone who said “I’m not going to hoard TP” probably wound up scrounging for it like we did at our house. (We never fully ran out, but we did use some products that I felt were testing the boundaries of what you’d call “tissu…

You didn’t mention one of the biggest benefits of COBRA (of which there are sort of few, given its cost). COBRA can be used retroactively. Meaning, you can sign up for COBRA on the 59th day of eligibility (and pay your premiums) and the insurance company is required to cover you as if you hadn’t had a lapse in…

holy shit... While it might be on the uglier side, you may want to consider using a surface mount box for that, particularly as a DIY’er, that hole is not the right size for a box, and I’d be hesitant to start digging around...

I feel like the ultimate issue with this is going to be user experience. Companies build a UI for their devices that (most times) gives a pleasant and smooth experience. The challenge is going to be using (I’m assuming) the API’s of each of the gazillion devices to integrate into a single dashboard. You need to…

I’ve found that there seems to be a direct correlation between the number of exclamation points used, and the chances that a review is a.) complete bullshit (5 star), or b.) completely unreasonable (1 star).

I’d need to see a picture, this doesn’t sound like typical stick framing construction... 

This might be the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.   The Venn diagram of companies that are small enough that whoever you find will have any clue and companies large enough where whoever you find won’t slack your email to everyone to show them you’re being a psycho is very, very small.  

Tooth Payment Adjacent Tip: One of our little hams is an incredibly light sleeper.  We bought a small jewelry box and labeled it the “tooth fairy tooth box” and made a bit of a show of telling her that she needed to put the tooth in the box so that the TF would get it.  It makes doing the swap SOOOOOO much easier.  

This.

you need an “old work” electrical box that has “ears” that are designed to grab the back of the wall to hold the box in place.

I feel like part of this is the demand for “quality” has changed.

NIMBY for life!
