I just retired after 44 years in construction. I was a metal stud framer/drywaller, hardly the highest paid trade on the job. Went from journeyman to foreman to project manager ( I hated that part of it). Along the way I learned how to draw plans and render drawings which kept me working as a link between a very big owner and their Architect for 11 years. Always worked, few layoffs. In the end I was paid very well with benefits plus a car and free gas. I saw a lot of young, highly educated people come and go, some were brilliant, most were not. I built many offices for start ups that faded just as fast as they started up. I still got paid. The point is that I was able to learn some technical skills on my own that made me more useful to somebody that had the funds to keep me going. I would encourage any young person with at least the intelligence to come to this website to consider a job in the trades, they need smarter people too. You will be paid well for your 8 hours, get the reward of seeing the tangible results of your efforts, and you still have plenty of free time to work on your game, code, rockets, Linux Desktop or whatever drives you.

Loved that movie...

I'm just waiting for my gender neutral screw threads...

It seems that "Black" and "White" were intentionally chosen to distance the races as far apart as possible. Nobody is black, like a telephone, or white, like paper. Maybe if we identified our color on a scale of 1-10 we would see how much closer we really are. I am about a 3.5 most days, maybe 4 in the summer. Most of my African American friends fall in the 7-8 range. That's just my experience. If we set out to divide ourselves to be as far apart as possible it quickly becomes "Whatever you do, I'm going to do the opposite". "You have a language, I'll invent my own language, and you aren't allowed to speak any part of it". You value education, I reject your racist math, literature and history. One group values a Capitalist economy, another group feels entitled to the rewards of someone else's risk or labor. Traditional family structures are missing in one group, to their detriment. Having a father present benefits everybody, regardless of background. I'm just tired of listening to some people telling others that they must be loyal to the tribe first, or you will be shut out. There's too much to gain, but nothing to lose if we recognize our similarities rather than exploit our differences.

I think Mr Tom Warren should turn in his nerd card. I'm a 72 year old carpenter and even I know about Ad Block Plus! I never knew YouTube had ads until I tried to watch it on a new phone.

I thought you were classifying nipples.... Damn glasses.

Just in case? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

I put exactly one drop of grapefruit oil in each glass of my home made IPA. I count that as juice.

...that was from Fox News, the single highest-viewership news source in the US.

No, that was from the comments section in a Fox News article. Try cherry picking some comments from /.,BoingBoing or Metafilter for some balance. Plenty of ignorance to go around.

Just put on some tunes, LOUD... Or to be extra stealthy record some random printer noise and broadcast while you print your ultra top secret doodad.

I have a small office with 3 Maketbot 2s and 2 Makerdot 5s running PLA. Occasionally the smell is enough to make me leave the room, but I've found that a change in diet will clear that right up.

This has been going on since the early days of personal photography. When I worked for a film processor in the 70's our darkrooms were wallpapered with copies of the "party pics". When we moved the plant to a new location there were several large boxes of them. I think the boss's kid kept them.
