If you don't have

a fucking workforce pipeline

to teach people how to do the job

and if you never invest in their education

and expect them to find their own opportunities for this

while keeping workers constantly firefighting

then you will

never

ever

make up

a fucking qualified worker shortage.

I have been screaming this for a decade and founded a whole-ass fucking organization to -address- this -specific fucking issue-.

You utter fucking dipshits.

future plans:

• set up fully functioning call booth in front yard for public use

ok so if I set alpha: false on my canvas 2d context, and then putImageData with alpha, it sets the alpha of the window in that area

Mostly just a self reminder but maybe it’ll help you too.

Classifying testosterone as a controlled substance is harmful to trans people who need it.

Google is now no longer officially a Search Engine, as they have stopped actually indexing all of the web https://www.vincentschmalbach.com/google-now-defaults-to-not-indexing-your-content/

The year is 2028. Kamala sits on her throne--having just canceled the election--framed by pillows saying things like "it's wine o' clock somewhere" and "don't talk to me until I've had my first spliff."

She is bored. Powerful. A combination of ozempic and a young white house fitness trainer who looks like a toned Rasputin have turned her into a goddess chiseled from stone. She uses her new milf powers to raise a simp army that overshadows the American military.

Two of her war boys drag in Joe Biden and Donald Trump, clothed in rags. They drop them to their knees roughly, their hands tied behind their back, mouths sealed with duct tape.

She swirls her oversized chalice, red fluid spilling over the sides, ruminating in her tight-fitting lulu lemon spandex full body power suit--its sleek curves accented with gold leaf. The silence is deafening.

"Kill them," she finally mutters through tight lips. "And then bring me my xanex...."

Darkness enshrouds a nation.

Has anyone made a spreadsheet with a different tiling yet?
Like the obvious one is hexagons.
Where's my hexagonal spreadsheet?

"WHAT are you doing??"
"fighting gravity and losing!"

i wish this video got more of a below the line perspective, but of course the host explains why it doesn't. my stories come from 10-ish years ago and i don't work in the industry anymore so whatever. the churn on that show was unreal, it was notorious for chewing people up-- because it was the only regular production that took on inexperienced PAs, usually college students, most of whom never worked on a set again because it was such an awful experience

my job involved chain-vicing light stands to a scissor lift that i had to take above the power lines & stand on the railings to adjust spot/flood, without a safety harness. i was asked to do this after a tornado warning and the whole thing damn near blew over. one time there was a driveby near the production and the crew put their foot down to stop production... so the producers just had PAs run camera and set up lights

and this was a long-running discovery channel show, by the way

i was an electrician on a reality show in oklahoma for about 3 years and it was one of the most exploitative, dangerous productions i ever experienced. it also paid $500/day, making it the best paying gig in town. i regularly put my life at risk complying with unreasonable demands that i knew could get me killed, but if i protested i'd lose the job and probably get blacklisted. 14 hour days minimum, plus a 2 hour commute. the stories i could tell about that show, man

I've decided to create a new image format

When I first heard of 23andMe I always assumed it was some kind of fetish dating site, like Grindr but for orgy people.
