Are they paying directly for the space wall or are we collecting via tariffs again?

My only current skill is blacksmithing. I can make stuff that folk might want to buy like custom railings and candle holders. I have made knives and swords but I feel like everyone does that already. I think it’s just tough to make it a career as I have to keep health insurance for the kids and other kinds of expenses like that. I do make some money playing live music but that also ain’t paying the bills anytime soon. Pretty sure if I ever see a retirement I’m just going to focus on those things.

I code now but I would love to make a living blacksmithing or knitting or woodworking.

Maybe they are secretly building a super efficient and expansive social safety net behind our backs and making it a surprise!!!

Damn these people are hardcore. This couple is the type of folk we should all strive to follow. They have kids and still did what they thought was best. That’s an insane amount of pressure. These folk are my heroes.

Just being rich seems to work pretty well.

I mean does anyone really think that he thought this through? He’s basically rolling the dice with a feeling that it could work out to his benefit.

I realize now that I will not make it in the post apocalyptic world. Probably taken out by a staph infection or something else currently preventable like a bad tooth or something.

The foaming spray really helps to keep it looking clean between deep cleans but yeah it’s pretty bullshit.

I guess it is a fun stage considering the next ones are worse.

Trump effectively controls CNN now. I wonder how Anderson Cooper will respond.

So basically Trump is now in charge of CNN. This timeline keeps hitting new lows.

They’ve definitely got a marketing problem at the very least. What is the value of AI to an individual that does not correlate to creating more value to their workplace? That needs to be the focus. While there are arguments for and against the value of AI in increasing productivity, at the end of the day, I don’t fundamentally care about my productivity level unless it creates some form of incentive for me. So I’m not being paid more but I MAY produce more. Yay??? What’s the sell here? Why as a standard human would I value this to the point that they value it? I see it negatively harming the things I like such as the internet, music, political discourse, books, and television. What’s the benefit that I personally see? Unless they can drill that value into the masses, they are going to have an image problem.

I don’t think anyone is saying that actual violent criminals who are in the country illegally should be allowed to stay. What the current regime is doing is saying that all those undocumented in the country are violent criminals which is obviously false. I haven’t seen the whole video but I would wager that is what Sanders was talking to.

Maybe we just refreeze it and keep that a mystery. What part of 2026 has anyone thinking we’re going to have any kind of good luck this year? This ain’t the year to shoot your shot.

Dude opens a trench coat lined with 16gb sticks of DDR4.

That was the first thing that jumped out. If anyone said that to me, I would be sending out resumes during that 30 minute break.

Yeah mine aren’t doing anything important other than obscuring my SNMP traffic stats. I’ll probably accidentally forget about them again till next year.

That ironically reminds me I still have to remove like three of those.

I’m debating on switching to leather gloves. I keep getting holes in the mechanic gloves I buy from Home Depot. They have saved my fingers when using the grinder but they seem to disintegrate really fast. Maybe I’m just an idiot that needs to stay away from power tools though.
