Hi.

It's not as alive as it used to be but it isn't dead yet.

Welcome to Hubski.

Guess I've been listening to a bunch of early Memphis hip hop.

I end up walking anywhere from 8k to 15k steps a shift, i really enjoy it. One of the positions can require over 800 steps if it's busy. I don't love the steps if anything is sore but if I'm feeling well it's fine.

I'm handling C shift just fine. I come I'm at 10:30 PM and leave at 7:15 AM. I go home, get the kid up and out the door for school eat some breakfast and sleep until 3 PM or so getting up right before the kid gets home. I didn't think I'd find it this easy.

Lol, I have a twenty year old dishwasher that gets the dishes clean 99.9% of the time. It's dead simple and easy to work on. We are probably going to replace it because the plastic face of the control panel is crumbling apart and the old plastics are getting to be a strange shade of pale dirty death. I'm convinced that msotbthe money spent on high end dishwasher is 95% cosmetic.

I will say that Technology Connections video on dishwashers improved my dishwashing game. We have soft water and pods left a sickening residue smell that only I noticed but I also drink more plain water from glasses than the rest of the household. Using powder and a rinse aid got rid of that smell.

love it

I have the impression that there was a lot more pedophilia in previous generations. Like wife beating, people let it be kept within the family.

I get the impression there was a lot more child prostitution in the past as well, especially in minority communities. White cops weren't really out to protect non-white children safe.

For sure getting your hands any information you might want to get a hold of has never been easier and increased availability of kinkier porn has led people to explore things they never would have without easy access. I don't think we are seeing the crumbling of western society. The easy availability of porn to young boys isn't great for them, we had to work hard to get our hands on one or two dirty mags back in the day and I think that was for the best.

"Behind the Bastards" with Robert Evans did a three part podcast about the early years of the zizians, it was pretty good. They get into how the rationalist and their Harry Potter fanfic brought about six deaths.

"Grit, Noise, and Revolution: The Birth of Detroit Rock 'n' Roll"

It's a pretty good read. I read it very slowly because I end up going to You Tube at least once a page to listen to a band or song I don't know. A great portion of the book is about MC5, which is fine. I already know a bit about them but they were significant.

I didn't know much of the early Black music and plenty of it was wonderful.

Started my first stretch of C shift coverages, 11 PM to 7 AM.

I really don't seem to mind the hours so much.

I'm glad to to see you drop by.

I hope the best for you.

Having just completed an associates at community college at the age of fifty two weeks ago I'll stand as the authority on kids in school today!

Seriously young people were less likely to finish the program than older students, mostly because they would miss classes and fall behind and stop showing up, just like I did at their age. 15 credit semesters are a bitch and if you aren't ready to devote yourself to them it won't end well.

Text books are a scam. I've worked my way up through linear algebra in previous college experiences and if the problem sets weren't in the book than I wasn't going to open the book. You Tube has the worlds best lecturers available at anytime for free you just got to find the one that understands why you aren't getting it.

I bought the text books for my first two terms of my associates and then never again. I got a 4.0 and I didn't use Chat GPT for the bulk of my classwork. I'll admit to using it for my high purity water class after I had already gotten a low purity water job and abandon all hope of making less money at Intel.

I felt like I met a few young people who were very on the ball in classes and this wasn't at one of your fancy universities, these were knuckle dragging community college student.

You could make this article about many different things based on this guys horrible life but I guess

meme coins is as awful an angle as any of them.

A old guy I'm friends with sunk most his fortune into an Iraqi dinar scam. He got hit by an SUV and died last month before he had to come to terms with the fact he'd been scammed. I'm almost glad he never had to look throwing away 78 years of wealth on conspiracy bullshit.
