  • US, Mechanical Engineer here. It definitely depends on where you are. In a city you’ll start out between 60 and 75k. Rurally, between 45 and 60k. The size of the company will also play a big role.

    Also, consider that you won’t really get any raises unless you move to another company. Talent retention doesn’t rank as high as talent recruiting unfortunately.






  • Now imagine that chaos, but everyone is running their own server. There are already posts and replies that won’t accept my votes.

    Who’s a bad actor? Liberals? Conservatives? Who gets to decide who the bad actor is?

    Lemmy needs to allow Server-managers to defederate other servers due to obviously illegal material. And Lemmy needs to allow Users to block or ignore servers just due to any number of reasons. But the decision should be left to the user.

    I’m 100% anti-censorship, and if a Server is going to be run that way there needs to be a way for existing users and new users to know that. And that’s the problem because a lot of new users are already stressed at picking a server.







  • You’re thinking of Nitrous Oxide (N2O). Nitrous Oxide is used during some surgeries (I took it when they pulled my wisdom teeth) and abused by people trying to get high. Nitric Oxide (NO) is apparently a vasodilator (it relaxes blood vessels allowing more blood to flow). It’s produced naturally by the body, and you can buy supplements if you really want your pee to have more Nitric Oxide in it (taking most supplements just makes your body get rid of the extra by filtering it through the kidneys).

    I don’t know anything about the Buteyko method, but it sounds like a fad/scam medical practice with no proven benefits. But you do you, just don’t do the tape thing, that sounds dangerous.
