  • You typed this on a device that would allow you to learn anything, including tool use, and instead you chose to use that time to publicly claim your own ineptitude. This statement does not come from a place of disdain, but from a lack of understanding of why people often choose not to use the collective human consciousness as a tool to better their situation by learning skills and applying them. The dude who fixed your toilet isn’t any different than you, except he knows how to do something you don’t. With internet you can change that with a few Google searches.





  • I work in IT at a fitness center and we have TVs in front of the treadmills. They are not enterprise TVs, just standard Samsung TVs. Above the treadmills, we have a conference room. After setting up a conference room with wireless screen sharing, I found that all of the TV’s below show up when trying to cast. Obviously I tried to disable them, but there is no way to do so outside of physically ripping out the antenna. I called support and everything. Why the fuck was that decision made



    1. Lower standards
    2. Buy shitty small rural house built nearly 200 years ago
    3. Spend any and all free time & money learning the skills & buying the tools to strip it down and rebuild it. All of it is online. Do it quietly and you won’t have to pull permits. Hold yourself to a higher standard than what a permit will allow and you’ll be fine.
    4. Continue to invest in yourself and your skills. You will become a rich person if you do this, if not in money, then knowledge. The earlier you can do this, the more value will compound off of your skillset.

    It’s not fun but it’s possible for myself, born 98. Got my little slice and the sunsets and stars are sure damn pretty out in the boonies. Gotta deal with the rednecks & general small mindedness though.
