My biggest lesson was that decades of work means nothing if you become disabled (in the US).
You can end up with literally nothing and lose literally everything if you become disabled. Even if you still have skills, even though you worked hard to contribute to society for decades, it can all go away overnight and you can suddenly not afford food anymore. There’s no safety net, and you won’t learn that until you need it.
For the other Americans that came into the thread hoping to see a conversion:
10c = 50f
30c = 86f
Edit: I’d like to note that 10c is a very reasonable temperature for shorts. I’m a Minnesotan (basically Canada lite (please annex us)), people start raising eyebrows at around 0C
0C? Fellow Minnesotan here and I’ve definitely seen plent of people wearing shorts at temps below -5C. But I’m also in a college town so that may change things.
I once amusedly watched girls sunbathe in bikinis at St. Lawrence University with patches of snow nearby in, I think March.
Conversely, I personally wore shorts and a tee one fine vacation in Florida around Christmas. It was 60f, and everybody was running around in jackets looking like they were in Chicago in January.
Horny straight dudes will join the military that’s 70% male looking to get their dicks wet when they could just go to a dance class where it’s 70% women who you get to touch.
Yes. I’d actually love this. Then maybe I’d listen.
I love it when I see a headline and then hear 1383x youth trendy people repeat the headline. Then they tell me they don’t follow msm and that they cultivate their own views. …I just say… O.K. …because I don’t care. Then they act like they had the biggest mic drop because I didn’t want to hear the same dumb shit for the 5 billionth time.
The last level sucked so much though, all those RPG guys everywhere. I had to cheese the level by running around the outskirts and finding all of the RPG wielders before the convoy got going.
Showed this pic to my co workers (steelworkers/blacksmiths) and only the old guys knew what was funny about the pic… Gen z think that calipers are toy guns…
Oh, I thought the joke was that the hole the customer was complaining about was the hole this pipe was supposed to fit into, and that they were measuring the inner diameter rather than the outer.
The joke is they’re supposed to use the end with the spiky bits to measure the inner diameter of the pipe. It’s even more baffling they’re using a mechanical readout when a digital display would be easier to measure with IMO.
Realistically, how many people need calipers in their life? The vast majority never used one because a ruler or tape is enough for pretty much anything in a house.
