  • This dude is a straight up spammer, posting his horseshit videos all over the fediverse.

  • My user name is actually a Metal Gear Solid 2 reference lol

  • I also would hire anything with a pulse since we can train them on the job, but they can't have a criminal record due to the clients we deal with and some work travel is required. It's also messy work -- fiberglass -- and a lot of people don't want to do that (and I don't blame them lol).

  • Yeah, probably. We have posts up on indeed and in the local papers but we're getting nothing worth following up on. And I don't think anyone hires recruiters to track down manual laborers.

  • I've had a job posting up for 3 months in the Midwest USA for a couple of warehouse positions starting at $25 an hour and I'm barely even getting any applicants. We still have a few boomers and GenX in the warehouse but the millennials (like me) and GenZ went to college so they aren't looking for these jobs, at least around here. We're a very small company so the weird thing to me is that this is an easier warehouse than Amazon to work in, by far, and the Amazon hub 10 miles down the road has no problem staffing, even though they only pay $16.00/hr and their benefits sucks ass compared to what we offer. The average warehouse pay in my area for my industry is $18 an hour.

  • 2 minutes! I've never played one of these games and I'll probably suck ass at it but I want to try all the same.

  • I got a quote yesterday for panels on my roof (in the US). $43,000. Fucking ludicrous

  • I'm the VP so I'd better be able to get away with it lol

  • I'd love to have one too but I live in the city now instead of the suburbs. My car is parked on a concrete pad in the alley behind my house, a good 80 feet from any electricity. I could probably charge at work though by just parking in the warehouse and plugging in to one of the many extension cords we have around.

  • Sound like I'll just be sticking with Battlebit Remastered then.

  • I'm reading the Wool omnibus from the library before I start watching Silo.

  • I'd love to install solar panels, I have a flat rubber roof with no tree coverage that's perfect for it. A $35,000 upfront cost is an absolute nonstarter for me. I have it, but that's basically my entire emergency fund. If someone would pay me to have them installed, hell yeah, let's do it.

  • I visited Buffalo in March on the tail-end of our Niagara Falls trip on the CA said (and went to a Sabres game and some great bars/restaurants). I really loved the feel of the neighborhoods around the city there. We live in St. Louis, in a similarly old house to what we saw in Buffalo (ours was built in 1906, they're all brick here though). As you pointed out, there are houses on tree-lined streets here as well, and I'm within a mile's walk of 5 or 6 large parks that often host free concerts and other events, I can walk to a fair amount of bars and restaurants, and plenty of other things. The only real thing holding it back where I live is how car-centric the construction has been. I could walk to the Soulard district easily (less than a mile) but in order to do so, I have to cross a 5-lane road called Gravois, which has bad visibility in both directions, and people tend to run red lights there often. There's no protected pedestrian crossing and people get killed there every year by cars, so we usually just drive over there. The city is finally working on walk-ability and public transpo by extending the Metrolink commuter rail to go north/south, and by adding a protected bike lane on one of the main thoroughfares (Jefferson). We're also seeing the construction of a lot more mixed use buildings (apartments on the upper levels, retail on the ground floor) and that has been a very welcome addition. I feel like we moved from the suburbs to the city at exactly the right time, as there's additional (booming) growth in Midtown and Downtown West thanks to the addition of our MLS team and all the land they've revitalized, which has in turn attracted development to a previously fairly barren area.

  • The even weirder thing was this coworker quit his job a week after the wedding.

  • That is just downright attractive.

  • It's Stanford University.

  • One of the first things I did when joining kbin was start blocking many of the meme communities. It's just not for me. Same reason I deleted my Facebook all those years ago. The ONE exception is LOTRmemes because come on

    Raw video: Car crashes into home on Kingston Drive in south St. Louis County (TW: Death)

    A Lemay home was heavily damaged when a car crashed into it Tuesday afternoon. The crash happened at around 3 p.m. on Kingston Drive near Telegraph Road.

    This took place a few miles from my house. The cause of the crash is unknown but man, she was going fast.

    Is gunplay in this game hitscan?

    Probably a stupid question, but I had one play session last week and admittedly my buddies and I were drunk, but I recall not being able to hit a damn thing when sniping because I was trying to compensate for bullet drop. Looking at same gameplay videos I assume it's hitscan gunplay (no bullet drop) but I wanted to confirm.

    3 People Made A Better Battlefield Game - BattleBit Remastered

    Thought I'd share this video by my favorite Battlefield youtuber, LevelCap, sharing his thoughts and criticisms about this game. I haven't gotten to play much of it yet so I can't back up anything he says but I hope to get some more hours in soon on the upcoming holiday weekend.
