Yeah, I watched this a few days ago and also came away thinking it was one of the better episodes I’ve seen.

I work in construction and when I was younger and single I did a couple years ago a remote work site; two weeks on and one week off rotations. We all stayed in the company provided camp while there. Definitely formed some strong friendships with my coworkers while there and made/saved a ton of money. It was an interesting experience.

I was a field engineer but jobs in the trades are always in high demand pretty much everywhere.

I make butter chicken from sometimes but if I’m doing a “too lazy to cook” version it’s with jarred sauce and leftover rotisserie chicken.

I work in construction and I don’t know that I agree. They’re digging a tunnel for a road, not mining, and earthworks crews generally consistent of equipment operators and labourers.

My dad has a gun licence (Canadian) and interestingly, he mentioned there was a place in the application where your spouse (and/or former spouse) must sign off on your application too. I can see how that might hinder a few violent exes.

I mean, if you’re breastfeeding they do get like that sometimes, but the placement of the boobs so far apart is what weirds me out

All radiation (x-rays included), radio waves, and visible light are on the EM spectrum. It’s just the wavelength that differentiates them.

The hormones really carry you through. Lol. And at least it’s relatively short with a positive end goal.

I don’t understand how they think this is going to help staffing when they will be unable to find staff in areas where there is a higher cost of living.

In the last line of the article some restaurant person said “it’s very popular with people and runs out within the first half hour” . . . but perhaps the general population isn’t sure what to do with them yet, as much as the chefs do anyway.

I often just cook the beans in a slow cooker on low overnight. No soaking necessary.

Yeah, I can hardly believe people can be so terrible but it happens all the time. I hope this town starts to get the turnover it needs with new leadership.

Yeah, I know little of IT (as I’m a mech engineer, in construction) but find the story telling to be so good it’s one of my favorite podcasts.

Yeah, this is probably the highest educated genre by necessity.

I hear you. I spent most of fmy social time as a teenager in those new-fangled chat rooms in the mid-late nineties and I don’t think I ever really learned to socialize properly in person. Lol. That said, I don’t find the newness of this platform too daunting. I was one of the people who left Digg back in the day too.

I do miss my May 2023 baby bumps group now that I’m on maternity leave and have a lot of down time feeding the little one though. It’s not like it’s easy for me to leave the house with a toddler and a newborn even if I was to join a real life parenting social group.

Baby/toddler parenting groups. I joined groups for the month/year of each of my little ones on Reddit and they’re very active communities.
