UPS package handler/warehouse jobs are pretty good from what I hear, but it's fairly hard work. It's part time, but it has benefits, a union and has opportunities to get extra hours. I think it pays the same $21 starting pay everywhere, which is good for my area at least.
Absolutely no qualifications needed, you just apply online when they have openings and they give you a start date.
I think it's the other way around. Democrats failure to do anything for the people who support them has forced libs to focus on the cringe stuff.
If Democrats had done some meaningful things and people really believed they had an intent to do good policy, a lot of these people would be talking about that. They know all that Democrats can give them is smug superiority and symbolic victories over the bad orange man.
From Google Translate:
Our suffering in Gaza was to travel as if we were not human beings. After I returned to Gaza, my health improved until this war happened. After two months, my treatment and most of the medicines in Gaza were cut off. To this day, there is a huge shortage of medicines. During the war and the lack of treatment, the damned disease came back to me. This was one of the reasons I went to Egypt and we paid everything we had to travel there. Yes, we were exploited in a dirty way, but there was no other solution. When we came to Egypt, we did not know that life here had become difficult and extremely expensive. Although I was sick, I worked so that I could provide for my treatment. I worked 11 hours for only $2, which was not enough, but there was no other solution. After a short period, I left work because my health condition became difficult and my head was broken because of it. For this reason, I did a cover-up and our house in Gaza was also destroyed and we lost everything. Since the beginning of the war, my friend Muhammad was telling me to do a cover-up, but I refused because throughout my life I had never thought of asking anyone. I felt broken hearted when I did it. I support you, but there is no other solution. Your donations can help me go to Germany to receive final treatment. There, this was my story and my suffering, and most of the suffering of the Palestinian people in Gaza. I want to thank you for your support and assistance.
I have a theory that the reason Darn Tough socks offers lifetime replacements is because the owner has a foot fetish and just wants to collect people's dirty socks.
Maybe this is a similar scheme
I use metube, which is a web based front end for yt-dpl/youtube-dl. It's useful if you run a Plex server or a host-your-own-music server(like subsonic). I can log in to the front end, paste in a video/playlist link, and it downloads it into a folder that Plex can pick up.
It's probably overkill unless you self-host a media server, though.
I think the problem is being able to find work there without in-demand skills to get an employer to sponsor a work visa.
I know someone who moved to Mexico and lived off their social security money. They lived pretty well, but they had trouble dealing with social security remotely and their benefits were cut off. Even in the wealthyish expat community they were in they couldn't find enough off the books work to live.
Clickspring has an amazing series where he builds a replica of this using techniques from the era. He makes the drill, vise, files, etc from raw materials, its really interesting.
In the process he actually discovered a key detail about what it's purpose was and helped write a paper about it.
There's a really good podcast episode that dives into how photography rarely captures reality as it exists, but instead is the expression of the photographer. I came away from it with a greater appreciation of the art of photography, and also a more nuanced view on these kinds of staged photographs.
This photo was staged, but is it not expressing real feelings about the great depression? I get why people get angry when they feel like photographs lie, but I think the right response is the realize that all photographs lie to some extent. The photographer is showing you what they want you to see, framed and focused how they want it, chosen from dozens of similar shots to express the reality that they chose.
I wish I had more time to better explain myself, but I'll drop the podcast link in case anyone wants to listen.
Electron microscope image of an ant:
It might have hissed before I got outside, but I didn't hear it. It tried to run away from the direction I was coming from and got stuck in the corner between a fence and my garage.
I used to think that move was a silly adaptation until I saw it in person. I think opossums are absolute cuties, but this one was pretty freaky looking, I get why it works now.
There was also an event where high school kids went to the police department to attend a seminar about police procedures. The pigs wanted to make a point about the unreliability of eyewitnesses, so they had a someone pretend to commit an armed robbery in front of the students, without telling anyone first.
