I feel like people outside industry don’t appreciate this message as much as intended.

Industrial switchgears, often part of an electric apparatus that looks like a giant metal box, have lead times measured in years. The supply chain is completely fucked.

A literal CEO of a $20billion company couldn’t skip the line despite writing them a letter and begging for any price.

Companies are paying long haul truckers expedited rates to haul a 53 foot trailer with a switchgear inside, and the rest of the trailer completely empty. Just to get it 2-3 days sooner, after their 1 year wait. You cannot operate the facility without it.

It really is a huge shame when one of them gets damaged.

Yeah those “too good to be true” AI/mechanical Turk-type jobs are usually thinly veiled scams. Eventually they’ll stop paying or randomly terminate you, etc.

If you have some kind of circus trick (drawing, editing, copywriting, etc), you could try fiverr. It’s quickly evolved into low-cost creative gig work and some creators charge up to hundreds for more complex commissions or larger jobs.

If you don’t have a circus trick, the only other thing I know of is the “slave labour” (yes it’s really called that) community on Reddit. That one is fully peer to peer so be very cautious but people post more menial tasks there from time to time.

Finally you could farm Bing Rewards and survey websites. It would be a truly pitiful wage but it converts time into money (gift cards) using the internet. This is really cruel and unusual punishment but… it’s an option.

Edit: if you’re any good (like, top 1-5%) at multiplayer video games, kids will pay tons of money to boost their accounts on the competitive ladders. This is by far the most lucrative and easiest option but it requires you to already be good.

It would halve it or worse. ASUS makes a few models with built in internal batteries which work quite well.

The type that latch onto your existing laptop display are really not great. They put a huge amount of extra force on the hinge where tons of sensitive ribbon cables live and you are severely limited in viewing angle. Not to mention you can’t move the monitor around in a tight work space or disconnect it easily to hit the field.

A standalone portable monitor is the best solution IMO. The nicer models come with adjustable stands, protective travel cases, and USB-C DP pass through functionality.

Well Patagonia is one of the brands I don’t feel bad supporting due to their commitment to repair, reuse, and mission to behave as ethically as possible within a capitalist corporate structure.

I looked up their links to Israel and find a bunch of insane babble from Christian and Israeli sources about hundreds of thousands of dollars in “pro-terrorist” and “pro-Hamas” donations.

So now I am even happier to purchase Patagonia lmfao

I recall plans being unveiled for $40k in student loan relief around this time 4 years ago as well. That didn’t happen, the concession is blocked by court order, and now I’m being told to vOtE again just one more time.

Just like how vOtInG was supposed to codify Roe v Wade, bring in police reform, correct the trillions of dollars handed out on PPP fraud, bring us Medicare for all… damn you know what I’ve been being told to vOtE these problems away for decades now.

Why don’t Dems push policy through during one of the many majorities they’ve enjoyed in the last 60 years?

And they’re most likely too liberal to even understand that the US literally caused this entire situation for no reason except jingoistic racist imperialist greed

Nation in shock as they arm a genocide and it results in terrorism

There are, but you can’t say them on .world.

Ironic, considering they whine and moan about being “censored” from posting debunked CIA conspiracy theories on leftist instances.

Great tactic, clearly your posts show you are a racist, fascist genocide supporter. Because your entire existence is so tenuous, you resort to making outlandish claims as the basis for your “argument” and then criticize others for somehow sticking to reality.

Note how your all-powerful “quote” is the literal opposite of what the original commenter posted, yet you use it as a platform to attack.

Pathetic, but what do you expect from .world.

PSL gang

Shoutout to Reagan for defunding all of American science to dig a giant hole in Texas that the European expert counterparts already warned was a dumbass idea that would never work

Femboyfishing is my oshi

Soy sauce braised black beans (East Asian side dish, there’s other ingredients ofc)

Uhh that’s all I got but it’s delicious and you can very easily adjust recipe to your taste - make them sweet, super salty, spicy, soft, hard, whatever

The kids are dumb, idk what to tell you fam. It’s a side effect of being young, not a generational thing.

With the rise of peer-to-peer e-commerce, they’ll believe anything a random stranger tells them. “Link? W2C?” And you can send them any phishing site and they’ll happily make an account and throw away hundreds of dollars without even checking if the business is legit. It’s incredible and I’m sure I’d have done the same at 13 if I had todays internet.

This is why I could never have kids. I’ll feed myself Westoid slop and just exercise to balance (I know that’s not how it works), but I can’t even imagine sending my own child off to school with fucking Lunchables, soda/juice, and a squeeze pouch full of lead.

Just an unimaginable amount of ultraprocessed sugar and carcinogens straight to the brain, and that’s considered doing okay as a parent in suburban America.

But also, what the hell are you supposed to do when you work 12 hours a day and commute for 2, before even taking the child into account.

I just don’t see how having children makes sense under a capitalist regime.

The article seems to clearly state this is an advertising stunt where they partnered with some artist to create one model. Must be pretty nice having access to something that limited!

Insha Allah

Unfortunately it applies to US imperial colonies as well. South Korean white collar workers will pay about $400-800 a month for health insurance, same as Americans.

Good thing Dems have dropped M4A from their platform!

Or… some of us can’t watch a 20 minute video at work and want to know what the video in the video community is about, and join the discussion?

Note how everything the “antisemite” said is complete objective truth.

Liberals are increasingly turning to more unhinged behavior now that reality is no longer on their side (not that it had ever been, but you get me).

The absurdity of the cognitive dissonance of simultaneously supporting genocide and Republican policies while having to argue they are on the side of justice is literally mindbreaking liberals.

It’s so fucking hilarious.
