I work in construction and when I was younger and single I did a couple years ago a remote work site; two weeks on and one week off rotations. We all stayed in the company provided camp while there. Definitely formed some strong friendships with my coworkers while there and made/saved a ton of money. It was an interesting experience.

I was a field engineer but jobs in the trades are always in high demand pretty much everywhere.

I make butter chicken from sometimes but if I’m doing a “too lazy to cook” version it’s with jarred sauce and leftover rotisserie chicken.

My dad has a gun licence (Canadian) and interestingly, he mentioned there was a place in the application where your spouse (and/or former spouse) must sign off on your application too. I can see how that might hinder a few violent exes.

The hormones really carry you through. Lol. And at least it’s relatively short with a positive end goal.

In the last line of the article some restaurant person said “it’s very popular with people and runs out within the first half hour” . . . but perhaps the general population isn’t sure what to do with them yet, as much as the chefs do anyway.

I often just cook the beans in a slow cooker on low overnight. No soaking necessary.

Yeah, I know little of IT (as I’m a mech engineer, in construction) but find the story telling to be so good it’s one of my favorite podcasts.

Yeah, this is probably the highest educated genre by necessity.

I hear you. I spent most of fmy social time as a teenager in those new-fangled chat rooms in the mid-late nineties and I don’t think I ever really learned to socialize properly in person. Lol. That said, I don’t find the newness of this platform too daunting. I was one of the people who left Digg back in the day too.

I do miss my May 2023 baby bumps group now that I’m on maternity leave and have a lot of down time feeding the little one though. It’s not like it’s easy for me to leave the house with a toddler and a newborn even if I was to join a real life parenting social group.
