There’s no such thing as tailwinds, only headwinds and good days :D

Sounds like a neat story! I’ve added it to my wishlist

Hmm. I think you mean ‘go from feeling like a teen/kid into feeling like a normal adult’? When I was in my first job out of uni, I was the youngest on my team, and definitely felt it. I slowly progressed over a few years into being one of the ones to do the documentation and training, and felt pretty ok.

When that healthcare company was taken over by a for-profit shitshow and I had to jump ship, I applied for a lot of junior roles at various places. I got several calls, but the company that hired me was the one that offered me the senior position/lead instead. That made me realize “Oh, I guess I do know what I’m doing”.

When I was heading up that group, I got a lot of management offers and when I finally departed to do consulting, it was because I had an appreciation for my professional worth. I did eventually leave that field because I just can’t handle doing defense shit anymore, and that’s really where the money is, but I still do ok.

My personal sense of ‘not feeling like a kid’ was probably when I started volunteering in my community, and doing a lot more to help the folks who needed it. When you develop strong friendships in the community that persist through things like illness and major life events, you have progressed beyond the whole ‘drinking buddy’ stage of friends.

I love that game, I still play it all the time. It’s one of my absolute favorites.

So convienent

I see you’ve heard of onedrive :D

Bandcamp, then I go to my favorite genres, and then look at the new stuff.

Webrings were one of the best ways to spend an evening. I loved getting lost in the Tolkien and Gardening ones.

I tried gemini protocol for a bit to see if it did a decent job addressing this, but it doesn’t. We do legit need a ‘smallweb’ non-commercial sort of thing, but I suspect retreating to a BBS model is probably what is required.

Completely on-topic unpopular opinion post.

Cool, cool, now block them worldwide, please.

@kersploosh@sh.itjust.works I’ve test ridden those, and found them to be too problematic with unbalanced loads (like groceries) and a poor choice on road surfaces as ugly as mine. Appreciate the suggestion, though!

I’ll keep test riding all the locally available options. It’d be nice to not require a car for my longer grocery trips.

@DrBob@lemmy.ca That sounds like the consensus.

@kersploosh@sh.itjust.works Shared rear axel seems a lot less complex than the mess required to do steering to two wheels, but safety for sure makes sense.
I drove trikes (the motorized variety) and while I never crashed, I have seen plenty. Is there really enough speed to do that?

“We’re going to take a mid fast food chain that pretty much only exists in california and take it someplace else in such a way as to make sure that we burned our bridges in the only state where people care”

Who?

Netscape? I don’t think it worked out for them, if that was the case :D

I’d agree with that.

When my anglo friends went to summer camp, my family always sent me to pick stuff. My siblings and I got to keep the money at least, but yeah. Farm work is freaking hard, even when you’re used to it. Esp when paid by the bucket (still one of the most common metrics)

I think you’re absolutely right. I suspect people, in general, don’t really have much grasp of ag. There’s mega industrial, and they understand that. There’s backyard/community, and they get that, but livestock? That’s probably outside the exp of probably 70% of industrialized nation people.
