I’m a mid-career mechanic in the USA. I found my last job on Indeed.

There were TONS of mechanic jobs available in my area (Seattle). I was able to be really picky.

I’ve been using 1Password for about a year now and like it a lot

Good on you for recognizing that.

It’s better to wait until you can afford one.

Your bike should bring joy to your life, not financial instability.

Same. I love motorcycles.

Riding one? Fantastic.

Looking at one? Captivating.

Wrenching on one? Stimulating.

NATURE VALLEY IS A GOD TIER GRANOLA BAR!!!

Depends on the jurisdiction. I got a decent severence and was still eligible for unemployment in WA state USA.

Love this song!

To be fair, it’s really hard to get your hands on a human mummy to eat nowadays.

Same here 💪💪💪

Really nice of you to offer this to the community!

I think about this a lot

Sorry about your cars, y’all

HELL YEAH, BROTHER!!!

We’re fortunate our utility (Puget Sound Energy) will give us rebates for DIY improvements as well.

We installed a heat pump and got money back from the state and the feds.

It definitely makes sense to evaluate electricity costs. It’s unfortunately expensive to get a heat pump in some places.

Where we live, the Seattle metro area, it was a huge cost savings to get our heat pump.

Crunch the numbers and make sure it makes financial sense.

We love our heat pump!

We did a DIY install a few years ago. Cost about $4500 in total for a Bosch 18k BTU unit and everything needed to install it.

We got $900 back from the state (WA USA) and $2000 back from the feds. That brought our total out of pocket down to $1600.

We had electric resistive heat and no AC previously. Our heating bill went down by $50/month in the winter. It added maybe $10/month in the summer for air conditioning.

For our area, with mild winters and low electricity costs, it’s fucking amazing.

Hell yeah!

Same, I’d just use it to kill myself.

I’m OK BTW, but do have depression. I don’t think it’s worth the risk.

As an American, the public health care system

7.6% of all sales is a higher percentage than I would have guessed.
