This pretty much sums up my view of contractors. I know enough about home improvement these days, after years of DIY, I could probably get a job as a subcontractor.
Well that couple mil is gonna be completely useless if we go into a depression or worse suffer a total economic collapse.
I quit my 20+ year career as a sysadmin about 2 years ago and started turning my backyard into a massive garden. I’m currently trying to figure out places to sell large quantities of hot peppers and I’m about to start selling matted and framed photos of flowers and wildlife from my garden.
Fuck IT.
I’ve been working on not saying “Google it” for quite a while. After saying it for over a fucking decade, its a hard habit to break. But I’m finally getting used to saying just “Look it up”

In other words, the in depth reporting and niche shows aren’t making enough money, so we’re going to dump all that shit and jump on the reality TV bandwagon.
“It’s true what they say, cops and women don’t mix. It’s like eating a spoonful of Drano; sure it’ll clean you out, but it’ll leave you hollow inside”
I loved the Naked Gun movies.
The Hot Shots movies were funny too.

DragonAce@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Those of you who are not okay: What's going on in your life right now and how could we help you make it better?5·1 year agoI’m emotionally in a bad place from years of emotional abuse (as a child and an adult). I struggle with ADHD, major depression, and anxiety. I’m unemployed and desperate for a career change. My marriage is in the shitter and I have no friends or family to lean on for anything. I’m all alone…
DragonAce@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•We Asked A.I. to Create the Joker. It Generated a Copyrighted Image.English47·1 year agoYes but image copyright is fickle thing, because at what point does it become not a copyrighted image? I have to reference the “Ship of Theseus” thought experiment, because it does sort of apply here. A fictional character cannot be drawn from a first hand perspective, so some sort of copyrighted image HAS to be used as a reference. So where does one draw the line?
DragonAce@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•We Asked A.I. to Create the Joker. It Generated a Copyrighted Image.English914·1 year agoI have a question for the author of this stupid fucking article. What the fuck do you think half of the artists on the planet do? They use copyrighted images as reference when drawing fictional characters and they often end up looking very similar to the original. There are thousands of people on social media that sell these drawings on a regular basis.

The entire fucking holiday.

I’ve been reefkeeping for over 20 years, I learned by working in a tropical fish store for years.
Yeah it seems native english speakers(mainly my fellow muricans) are baffled by the pronunciation of the french “r”.
It took me practicing it for a while to finally understand how to properly pronounce it, but I’m still ashamed to use it in public for fear of being mocked by both french and english speakers alike. LOL.
