  • The UL one is very applicable.

    Chinese motor manufactures will often copy a design (completely rip it off) and make changes to make it even cheaper to manufacture. These make the motor no longer UL compliant. Sometimes these changes lead to it becoming unsafe, but good luck suing a Chinese manufacturer in China if your house burns down. However, they will still put a UL sticker on it and call it a day.

    I used to work in motors and turbines and will outright refuse a motor made in China. Always buy motors from US or Mexican manufacturers (inside the US, cannot speak for EU). A good way to find out where the motor was made is looking to see the company that made it - and 100% your HVAC company didn’t manufacture the motor, they bought it from a B2B supplier you likely never heard of.

  • It’s a combination of both. Young women don’t want to stay in these places because they all vote Republican and all republicans are hate filled bigots who view women as property.

    The women leave for greener pastures, and the young men are left with no job prospects and no one to date. They get up and leave as well.

    Since all these towns are hate filled trash heaps, no money gets invested into them. The farms are all corpo owned and don’t need the town, the Dollar General employs two people, and the used car lot has not sold anything in four years. There is nothing to do in these places except lie about being disabled (this is very different than having a real disability) sponge off the government, then watch Fox News all day and mald.

  • This is why those phone/wallet combos are stupid. I don’t blame people for using them, but phones are easy to swipe as people stare at the screen. If I had my phone and wallet stolen, would be screwed.

  • My 30’s was the most amazing time of my life. I had just spent ten years in the army, gotten deployed for what felt like most of it, and unceremoniously honorable discharged due to force reduction.

    I didn’t know what to do, had a job I hated, and decided to just go to bars and crash at a buddy’s place who agreed to let me live there for free as a house sitter.

    It was so many years of debauchery because I was in great shape, had some hope left for the world, and didn’t care because I was no longer in a shitty deployment.

  • You can, but then it switches from learning to discover something. Expanding human knowledge is cool, but then reality sets in with funding, getting published, and having to kiss ass to rich idiots who think they are just as smart as you.

  • My employer has hired a few PhD’s for entry level engineering positions, and then they always end up fired because they are too incompetent to do it.

    “I have a PhD”. Yeah, but you can’t even do this basic shit and your doctorate is in nothing we care about, but you knew some people.

  • They replaced their management, who were mostly engineers with MBA’s, to business majors with MBA’s who worship Jack Welch. The IQ in the room plummeted as the ghost of Welch demanded sacrifices for short term gains so they might one day get their golden parachute.
