  • Top 10 most dangerous jobs in the U.S. according to Forbes:

    1. Logging Workers
    2. Fishing and Hunting Workers
    3. Roofers
    4. Aircraft Pilots and Flight Engineers
    5. Structural Iron and Steel Workers
    6. Delivery and Truck Drivers
    7. Refuse and Recyclable Material Collectors
    8. Underground Mining Machine Operators
    9. Construction Trade Workers
    10. Electrical Power-line Installers and Repairers

    I’m know I’m preaching to the choir here, but it’s good info to be familiar with when some knuckle dragging MAGA hat pretends to be patriotic.

    Notice that law enforcement overseers and military are not on this list. Moreover, LEOs often get paid MUCH better than many of the people employed at some of the jobs listed above. It’s also a pretty safe bet these days that if an American police officer is in a dangerous situation, they are the danger. I’m all for respecting people that choose dangerous careers, but police and veterans are not heros for making that choice any more than any of the others on this list.

    OSHA has a similar list, no police either.

    USA Today has a top 25 list, still no police.



  • Ok, Boomer.

    23 skidoo 4:20 smoke break 69 42 the answer to life the universe and everything 3.1415926535… e^(iπ)+1=0 3 is the magic number 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 6-7

    I’m okay with the kids getting freaky with the number memes. We had out special numbers, every other generation had theirs. They can have their cool S of numbers.







  • You can also just print out a QR code with all the info and stick it to your fridge. No more arguing about capitalization or punctuation. Your guest wifi can now be anything you want and hardly anyone using it will notice what the password actually is. I like to sneak a joke in there to see if anyone’s paying attention.

    Another pro tip, if you’re throwing a parties with larger groups of people, spin up a temporary guest wifi without any password. And put it on a separate VLAN, use device isolation, and throttle that traffic because you were doing that anyway for the guest wifi, right? Comcast/Xfinity is the going monopoly in my area so I usually just name it after their hotspots. Then you don’t have to do anything special when randos and +1s want to connect. Most people with the same internet provider probably connected automatically. Of course, you’ll need to remember to turn it off later.


  • He’s blinding it by putting a bag over its head, but the bag is strangely not illustrated. Ostriches calm significantly once they can’t see. The meme of an ostrich sticking their head in the sand has some basis in reality, especially considering they love building their nests in sandy areas.



  • Complimenting people can feel like a shameful act. But, I’ve tried to learn to not be ashamed about being genuinely complimentary as long as I’m not being a creep or intrusive about it.

    • That’s a great color on you!
    • Random thing I admire about you that you clearly chose or cultivated.
    • Somebody here is wearing an amazing perfume/cologne.
    • You handled that situation with a grace/creativity/enthusiasm that I envy.
    • Your’s was a truly insightful or creative take.
    • NOT comments on the things about themselves they have little or no control over (like height for men, or breast size for women. You’re complimenting people not objects).

    I like to just drop the genuinely positive truth bombs and walk away like a geriatric crop dusting the early bird special. They (the target of said compliment) should not feel obligated to acknowledge reciprocate in any way. This suddenly feels shamefully long winded. Be cool to each other.

    Odd design choice. My oven turns the light on when the door is opened (in addition to a manual option). Maybe somebody “repaired” your oven at some point and replaced the door switch for the light with the wrong type? I had to be aware of this when I replaced a similar switch connected to a relay that turned a light on in a closet when you opened the door. I don’t remember the specific jargon at the moment, but it boiled down to whether or not the switch was open or closed by the action of depressing the switch. I think the language might have been something like normally open or normally closed.
