I’m also an engineer, and in my experience a reduction of blue collar workers gives only a temporary reduction of the work force; soon enough there will be more cost controllers, HR business partners and officers for all kinds of non value adding stuff. In my country we’re at the point where the people with bizarre job descriptions on LinkedIn are always posting about how to effectively employ the work force.

Got or gave?

My then girlfriend had to look something up for college, so we went to the library and bought half an hour of internet time for that.

That’s a hot take. (disclaimer, I work in the waste industry). Without the waste industry, there would still be waste, and the climate would be worse off for it.

It’s just that Linux is better and cheaper in every way.

No it isn’t. Maybe the ways Windows is better don’t appeal to you, or you don’t use those features. I on the other hand, have no use for a lot of things where Linux would be better. Does that mean Linux is bad? No it doesn’t, it’s just not the best fit for me personally.

They’re not essential for survival, I’ll give you that. Still, I think low carb diets resemble vegan diets a lot; you will be missing some micronutrients for which you have to adjust. They also resemble vegan diets in how certain proponents seem to be on a mission to promote them.

Valve stem removal tool?

The problem is “moe” is part of a lot of Dutch words, so thsi would backfire for me.

Some do, some live in the Netherlands. I studied in Enschede, and some German students lived across the border in Gronau.

I just checked, but the MPA is taught in Nijmegen, Groningen, Utrecht, Amsterdam and Rotterdam. Nijmegen and Groningen are more or less close to the border, Utrecht in approximately in the middle if the country.

I graduated it at your age. Before I worked as a plant operator, decided to get my engineering degree because I didn’t want to work continuous shifts anymore. It took me six years while working my old job. Lot’s of second guessing and even dispair in one case, but also lot’s of fun. I switched jobs after graduation, which I had done before. Switching jobs will always make me second guess after 2-3 months, but in the end it has always worked out. I’d say go for it, while nurses are generally appreciated by their patients, they get treated like shit by their employers. I do get why you don’t want to relocate, I didn’t do it either. In the end I studied in a city one hour drive away from where I live. Before I started there, I first had some talks to them on how to do my studies long distance, and we worked out a way where I would drive to university once a week, maybe more during exam weeks.

As an aside, I live close to the German border, and saw lot’s of German students in our university (studying is cheaper over here I think). Depending on where you live, this might be something worth looking into.

Why would a lightweight alternative need less upkeep?

To the OP: you might consider ClassicPress, which is a fork of WordPress without the block editor.

For the Dutch: Bokkers - Jezus Ze lup noe met Jezus en dat vin ik gemeen Want zo’n keerl zo as Jezus, doarvan is er maar één Ze lup noe met Jezus, want zien liefde is groot Moar as ik Jezus ooit teeg’n kom, oe dan hou ik um dood

The song is about a guy who’s girlfriend/wife has found Jesus, but the guy seems to think Jesus is just another guy. Translation: She now walks with Jesus, and I think that’s mean Because a guy like Jesus, there’s only one of him She now walks with Jesus, because his love is great But if I ever come across Jesus, oh then I’l beat him to death

Open relationships may work, if you’re both comfortable knowing the other sleeps with other people. But living in different states? That sounds more like fuck buddies than a relationship to me.

Someone commented about the same thing in the hippies thread. Some hippies also responded there, so the old folks also are on lemmy.

Not that small, more like a small club.

I really don’t get caffeine addiction. I realize it’s a problem for a lot of people, but here I am drinking loads of coffee, and then in the weekends none at all, even on vacation not for weeks at all. I guess it’s wierd how bodies are wired differently. My struggle is weight though, I was a way too skinny kid who became a fat adult.

I met all of my loves in the same bar in the 90s. Sometimes the love was short lived, sometimes a little longer and one is still with me for 30 years next january.

Are you this guy?

Did you copy/paste this from a previous post? I think I read this one word for word some time ago.

edit: nvm, it was linked earlier.

Interesting read, but having read “Breath” by James Nestor, that book is basically a long ad for an orthodontic product named “Homeoblock”.
