Depends on the job, special tools and workspace needed, and time.

I recently had a mechanic replace a wheel hub assembly for me. He sourced the parts, finding them for about 5% cheaper than I could find them. His labor rates were very reasonable. And I don't have a lot of time for that sort of job, nor space to do it efficiently where I currently live. Could I have done it? Yes. But he got it done in 3 hours where it would have taken me the better part of the weekend.

I had cockroaches. They were all supposed to be male but one or more started laying eggs. I noped right out of that one.

I had a black Emperor Scorpion. He was a chill little dude. Mildly venomous. Fine pet for someone who can handle that / not young kids.

Omg, what a beauty. Does she live outside in her shed all year round? What temperature range is she happy/healthy at?

Refrigerating eggs also roughly doubles their shelf life.

Is salmonella vaccination required in the UK now? It's been a few years but last I knew it was voluntary and roughly 3/4 of egg farmers did do it.

Egg farmers? Chicken ranchers? Poultry producer? Idk what they're called.

Eat it with a cinnamon roll. No idea if it's really a local Midwestern thing, it was claimed as a local thing where I grew up. All I know is chili and cinnamon roll works.

Eh? From Drop Dead Fred? Was she even in a James Bond movie or am I thinking of the wrong actor?

from what I've gathered from my coworkers being a "machinist" isn't so much of a viable trade anymore. Everyone pays like shit now.

Yes, agreed at least for my industry. My company hires "machinists" with no experience or education, gives them minimal training on how to push a button and not stick their hand in running machinery, and expects at least half to leave for a job that offers ten cents an hour more as soon as they can. They killed the pension for new employees and wonder why no new employees have any "loyalty" to the company.

I've always had massive respect for welders. That shit is an art. Not so with the folks we are hiring these days. Fast food fry cook wages don't get you artisan welders.

Yeah, I think that's just Star Wars in this case.

Jeebus, that's a lot of work. "Americans are loud and smell bad" seems so much easier.

Maybe Americans are ~~lazy~~ time efficient with their communications. What a zinger.

I join whatever new labor movement forms and sharpen my guillotine.

And finally, answering your "entrances" question directly, I lol at the slow rise out of the water by Ursula Andreas in Dr. No, Halle Berry in Die Another Day and finally Daniel Craig in Casino Royale.

Equality! /s
