The USA relies more on informal on-the-job training than formal education in many fields.
more like new hires get thrown to the wolves and the ones that make it stay on the job
strange though as the job of policing is still statistically less dangerous than being a farmer or a pizza-delivery driver.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What did/do you want to be when you grew/grow up?
2·1 month agoAm in my late 30’s and I don’t know nor did I ever know. As a result I consider that a crummy ice-breaker.
scratch that. I once wanted to be an electrical engineer but I didn’t know that’s what it was called so I said I wanted to be “an electrician” which I have zero interest in. -You would not believe the number of times people have recommended “electrician” to me as a career choice. Also, I don’t have the aptitude to complete the advanced math and advanced science courses that are required to get an EE degree. That’s not for lack of repeated tries, either. Some things just aren’t meant to be.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How many tabs do you have open on your phone/laptop right now?
2·1 month agophone: 57 laptop: ~3ish
98% of the time. I hate having to turn it off to look at my local grocery store’s website but I have done it before.
some subs are bad with bots. politicalmemes@lemmy.world for example.
McGyver so to say went on a lot of fun adventures. I had a good time watching him even though I knew most of his solutions weren’t realistic.
Did I mention that most of his solutions weren’t realistic?
I wet shave with a Muhle R89 and/or a Merkur 23C which are both on the mild side. I hear Henson razors are very high quality in their construction but they are also very mild. If you have very thick facial hair then there are better more aggressive razors on the market at a much better price.
additonally, most quality safety razors provide a smoother shave with less ingrown hairs and less razor burn when compared to their cartridge counterparts. -That is also partly dependent on the blade used. Some blades (like Derby) are notoriously dull, while others (such as Feather or Bic) are incredibly sharp. My personal preference is the Indian-Manufactured Gillette-Wilkinson Sword Blades. They’re on the sharper end while still not being as sharp as the others mentioned.

1·2 months agoThat’s why I just backed a kickstarter for an mp3 player and simultaneously purchased a retro handheld gaming console. I’m sick of using my phone for music, especially when VLC crashes so frequently. I don’t need my phone when i go to exercise, I just need my music.

There are worse things than being asset-rich, cash-poor.
