Yeah absolutely, I'm not disagreeing with you. But if you had to drive across town to perform the work, and say you didn't know beforehand that it was a float or you didn't have the right type with you and had to go to the store, then your total amount of time spent port to port would likely be more than an hour. How much is your time worth? I am a technician , my work charges over $200/hr labor rate. About half that goes to me. There is overhead with coordination, vehicle costs, tools, etc... Basically what I'm saying is that yeah, the physical work only takes 10 minutes, but much more goes into the cost than just that.

If the plumber is your mom's neighbor and has the float already, then yeah it's pricey but if they had to drive 30 minutes to get there and go to the store for the part, it really isn't that crazy. Also is it a legitimate business or just an under the table side job? Location in the country matters too.

Confidence goes so much further than you imagine. You don't need to be tall and physically attractive, but you will figure that out. If you think of yourself as unattractive, so will others. I have a gnome-esque friend who embraced his geekiness, found a style that worked for him (outdoorsy/woodsman style) and since then has had plenty of romantic success. If you can have non-romantic relationships, you can also have romantic ones. You really think the only thing preventing them from becoming romantic is the thought 'if only they were taller /more physically attractive'? You have things to offer, you just need to recognize that fact.

I got in trouble for doing homework at school. Because it was meant to be done at home.

Beautiful

I was placed in Berkeley. I'm not gay but maybe my taste in music is.

Waffles. Belgian waffles. Soft, crisp, chewy... Mmmmm

What exactly do you ask Alexa and what does it respond?

I just checked Reddit to see if this headline was there, and I didn't find it. At least not near the top anywhere. Isn't that strange? /s

I majored in Philosophy and am now a commercial HVAC mechanic. 🤷

In case anyone didn't know - ryu's hands appear in the hadouken. Blew my mind back in elementary school

That picture is so intense

Absolutely. There's no real use for the opposite.

Just as strange with heathcliff really

If anyone is interested - commercial HVAC service pays extremely well depending on where you live. I rarely have to work overtime (although I do like to) and it's not backbreaking (it's a lot more mental/problem solving). It's union work. Not to say it can't be stressful, but it's the best job I've had and I've worked in a bunch of industries. I'm college educated as well, but don't need any degree for this work. Wish I would've joined this industry a long time ago.

One day Bing Ai will process my image and I'll post it

Update: it finally generated... Four images that look like this

I got in trouble for doing homework at school. Homework is supposed to be done at Home, not at school, I was told.

Another one here for the API exodus 👍
