Yes, free healthcare, GI Bill, free housing, retirement, there are definitely negative things, but there are a lot of upsides, even just doing it for one enlistment can be very beneficial

Power company asked if I wanted a three phase meter when I was checking power requirements for wiring my shop up.

I just needed a different meter.

We homeschool our kids, and are religious, but we are heavily opposed to Christian nationalism, and want our kids to learn what actually happened, not some whitewashed curriculum that downplays anyone particular people's ideological downfalls.

We found a curriculum, but it took a while. One of the first ones I opened to read through had a first chapter titled "God's gift to the world through America" noped right out of that one...

What's your definition of civilized?

I don't know current pricing, but a premium proton account, which was ~$9/month when I started has worked very well for me. I like the other features they are rolling out and use them a lot.

Domain is purchased through cloudflare, and I think it was like $10/year?

I was diagnosed a few years ago. I disagree with you. Yes, there are some things that are harder for me to do. But, I'm really good at my EMS job, and a significant portion of the most competent individuals I work with are also ADHD. I would not be as good as I am without being ADHD. Though, it would have been easier to get through the class to get my license without it.

Define private

They strip all the tracking from the emails. I'll unsubscribe from ads, or turn off compromised addresses, but them not scanning my emails is a plus.

How is it not private?

Please expound on your thoughts. I happen to be a paid subscriber, cause I want to support them and I appriciate the extra features I get. So the issues with the free accounts arent a problem for me, but my friends who use the free account don't seem to have any complaints.

Look in to switching to a privacy respecting email. It's not for everyone, but i am very happy with the Proton suite of apps.

I've switched from jerboa to eternity and am liking it better.

And, setting up an entire culling operation, which would have to include transporting the birds, and contaminating another facility and several semi trailers, and staff, not to mention other wildlife is a huge risk. Shutting the windows and turning up the heat is probably the safest and quickest way to do things in this situation

Those bayonet lugs though...

US.

Average starting salary at my school is $68k, my department is $74k average, and I have friends who have started at $110k and had their MS degree paid for on top of that, with a pay bump after their degree.

I turned down $80k starting in a really low CoL area cause they didnt have a big enough moving allowance, and I have a few other options I'm pursuing that are more appealing to me.

That's not terribly awful actually.

If they are wanting to attract programers with experience and not have them sniped.

Fresh out of school in that field with no experience, one can hit $75k-$120k fairly easily.

Signal needs people who are familiar with encryption and cyber security, and are basically inventing new ways to did things in order to mantain user privacy. That is a very specific niche that takes a lot of skill and experience to do.

You can backup your messages with signal... I do it whenever I switch to a new phone.

I think this is important. Being disconnected allows for a more wasteful consumer mindset.

When milk goes bad in the fridge, ehh, spend $3 and get another jug. But, when that jar of goats milk goes bad, or the cheese doesn't work out from the goat in our backyard, it's a little more upsetting, that took a lot of work....

My view, and several friends and family members is that if you are unwilling to personally kill an animal to eat it, you shouldn't be eating meat. Some of these individuals are vegetarians, and others (myself included) are producing our own meat for our families as much as possible.

Even in civil/archE, most of 'em don't have their PE.

If you're referring to the FE and PE tests as being required. They are required to be able to get the extra cert, but not to be am engineer. Most engineers are not PEs, and you don't have to pass the FE exam to be an engineer.

Been a proton visionary subscriber for a number of years now. I am satisfied with it and do not regret leaving that part of the android ecosystem.

I did just get an email invitation for a photobackup beta program, so i am excited to see what that us about.
