Bro chipotle gets made in real time as I speak. It's faster.

My mortgage is significantly less than my last apartment down the road. $2700 vs $2100. Same size living space (1000sqft, 2bed), an extra basement, and I get to live in a marginally more affluent area. That difference in monthly payments more than covers monthly housing maintenance costs. And property tax is already included in that $2100 mortgage, which is how it is usually handled in my state.

And you get equity instead of throwing away your income to a faceless real estate corporation for no gain. Owning a house is 100% better in every way, unless you need to quickly move for some reason.

But even then, it's rare to see a house be on the market for more than a month, MAYBE two before getting sold. You can move out on a couple months notice, instead of having to wait for your annual lease to run out.

But when you do move, you sell your house for ✨ profit ✨ because the housing market only goes UP for some retarded reason.

I've helped three friends and coworkers navigate buying their first house in the past couple years. They are all better off financially for it.

I don't, it's strictly better than renting

He announced that he was done updating the game a few times now, and would start working on Terraria 2, but the sequel fell through afaik

Ask your company to pay for the certs. At best you get free certs and can then leave them and make more money somewhere. At worst they say no.

Going from zero certs to getting my Sec+ landed me a better job with a new company and nearly doubled my income. (Cloud architecture engineer). Can't speak to any other certs.

I give OP the bipolar pass

Never hurts either

I wish Lemmy was more entertaining, and not just a million Linux articles wearing a trenchcoat

For every hour of work/coding I do, there is probably 4 to 5 hours of waiting for shit to automatically compile, fetch, build, release, apply, get reviewed, approved, and deployed. The downtime is immense, I spend it helping other people with shit or planning company potlucks (I don't work for Microsoft).

Man we had someone in the army do this. Army doctrine is either outdated or very accessible to the poor, I don't fuckin know, but you aren't required to have a phone.

So this one weird junior Joe just decided he didn't need a phone. Got rid of it, and as a result never got the information he needed on army shit. I loved him for it, and by the law he was in the right. Can't tell him to get a phone.

Unfortunately I was his team lead, and every time my chain of command decided to put out bullshit last minute information over text I had to tell them to suck it and pvt NoPhone wouldn't be at their surprise formation.

Sometimes for important stuff I would have to drive to the barracks and knock on homies door to let him know there's surprise inspections or piss tests and shit.

The workplace should operate entirely without external communication. It worked since the dawn of man, and it should continue to work until the end of man if we want any semblance of work-life balance.

Highschool in hicktown, our salty freak of a gym teacher would let girls stay inside and walk laps.

Boys go outside to play whatever sport, or sometimes go to the tiny wrestling room for dodgeball, and it'd be shirt v skins. Usually he'd pick the fat kids to be skins cuz they needed more "motivation".

Weird to me that people think shirts v skins is fake when there's way weirder shit schools do to kids. We had our biology teacher take the class to his barn down the road and help shear his alpacas for extra credit. Like, school staff can do whatever the hell they want, and kids will just say "okay" if they don't know any better.
