Like how a million Floridians evacuated lol

This but unironically

Not just the shoes, but socks as well. Double layer like Wrightsocks complete the blister proofing.

Jake brakes in big trucks, but most of them do show brake lights now even though you just coast to activate them. Some drivers like to turn them off because it makes you look like a dangerous rookie in the mountains if your brake lights are on consistently while going downhill.

Reach out if you’re interested in blue collar work. I’ll give you my number and you can call even. I can advise from personal experience on truck driving, water/wastewater treatment careers, or railroad work.

Truck driving has the benefit of being able to cut expenses to near zero by going over the road if you have few obligations. Getting a cushion this way makes settling down and going local much easier, even though I make more local than I ever did over the road.

I don’t haul freight anymore either, and I don’t think that’s a long-term good prospect. Blue collar jobs where you work with the truck but have onsite work with it are a bit more resilient against automation I believe. Think wastewater cleaning, railroad, lineman, heavy haul, etc.

Taste the paper

Tenants, fyi

Comes out to 13.39 per 100k pop per year, lower than Mississippi 20.7, Louisiana 19.8, Alabama 14.9, or New Mexico 14.5.

Edit: Googling suggests a rate of 25 in 2022 for Mexico, so that total must be low.

Mostly surprising they thought it was leaking hard enough to lift off.

Trucking, even in lots of local roles where you are home every night.

Or position differentials like they do in meat processing. Cuts that are harder get a little more.

That makes sense, wouldn’t be that complicated that way.

I thought they go off of weight. How could they tell how dirty they are?

Right, so not banning it on their devices, which would be hard to enforce.

That just doesn’t seem very enforceable.

We have only done it once, and the people were pretty cool about it. A couple quick last minute pitches and we were out the door.

Yes, take the special offer to hear the pitch, and never buy.
