Yeah I know there were some rant threads over the years grinds my gears and whatever. I don't think any of them were that happening to dig up. I probably made one of them honestly. Whatever.

I figured if we could rant somewhere we'd be more docile creatures in the rest of the forums.

HypeBeastLol not necessarily. You just gotta determine what is a priority, including how much you wanna see your kids, and what you wanna give up. It's harder if you're a woman because no matter how involved the dad is, the mom is definitely gonna have more responsibility when a child is concerned.

For example, I got a buddy who has two kids under the age of 3, working full time with on-call responsibilities and still finds time for hobbies like training for triathlons and going backpacking.


Yea mostly kidding, it'll work out. I work remote so hoping when the time comes that I am still in that position where I'm home all day.

He's in high school and being told stuff that equates to "you were a mistake and ruined my life". That's so fucked up. If he was older maybe, but come on. From what I can gather, his dad is the classic stereotypical rich guy who neglects his family or shits on them because he's insecure inside.

WoFlowz makes a ton of stupid posts and I'm sure is a dickhead teen from time to time but none of that justifies the stuff in posts he's made on here.

VTshredder69Kids who live in their parents houses, get gifted cars. Then whine about their parents are ungrateful. My parents booted my ass out of their house when i was 23. Best thing that ever happened to me. Now we have a great relationship.

Fr. Most of the shit parents ive met or been around were all rich fucks. For them money is everything so they think if they keep buying their kids shit that means their kid is happy too. Even if they are absolute shitbags.

there’s definitely a few times i’ve deserved a talking to about how if i fuck up again I won’t go to college and be a disappointment but this time wasn’t lol. I had just let my dad know I wouldn’t be home next tuesday or thursday afternoon/evening cause night lessons start, and i’ll be gone all weekend and he went on some crazy rant. All about how entitled I am to think I can just not help drive my sister to soccer those days in order to work. When bro literally works from home 3 days a week and very well could do it but would rather spend his free time doing other things. And that he couldn’t believe I wasn’t going to kentucky to watch my sister play in a spccer showcase for colleges this weekend. WHEN I HAVE BEEN COACHING EVERYWEEKEND SINCE 9th Grade. This isn’t new but cause she got ask to go to some SEC college showcase i should go? She’s never been to my regattas. But Because he never did that to his parents or siblings it’s wrong. And I shouldn’t feel like I’m able to leave the house when ever and something about that being a issue along with ruining his nights because now he has to take my sister to soccer. Along with If i’m always working there’s no time for him to ski with me which is a valid point but I literally get him a free szn pass. All after I had gotten bitched out cause it took longer to get dependent passes for him and my mom and sister. But I still got them even tho it took longer than it should have.

It’s so dumb. I’m working to have spending money/college tuition esp if I go to a pricey school like a NESCAC or SLU. Considering I’ll prolly have to take on about 10-20k in debt a year except at SLU. Plus won’t be able to work besides on campus cause all the campus‘s are in the middle of butt fuck no where.

If you can go to Santa Clara I would highly recommend doing so. Not very good for developing skiing skills but the network building opportunities there are unusually abundant.

Been rocking a 5 1/2 hour average for like 3 years.

Melatonin and sleep aids don't do much. Substances help conk me out but result in shit sleep and me waking up and being awake awake when I'm sober like, 5 hours later.

Pops has apnea, I should probably get a sleep study done

Offshore wind gets too much hate. Free, renewable energy with practically zero downside. There have been all these claims about how the mapping/ installation and operational 'vibrations' produced by the platforms interfere with whales ability to navigate, but not even NOAA has been able to find any scientific relationship between the increase of whale deaths and the installation of offshore wind farms. the real culprit is the increase in shipping traffic. The ambient noise caused by the insane amount of engines in the water can and has been proven to fuck with whales. Also quite the coincidence that a lot of the major donations to the save the whales/ anti offshore wind organizations are from fossil fuel companies...

Offshore wind farms are destroying marine life just go move to Japan and hunt dolphins while you are at it. Most of them break down within 5 years too they are not reliable for what they cost. Then they can’t ever be removed due to the cost so you have the eyesores there forever.

Would genuinely love to read any sources you may have for this. From my understanding, theres really a pretty small impact on marine life. The platforms don't take up much room and are built in surveyed areas that are cleared before hand so they have a very minimal direct impact, plus most of the time an ecological risk assessment will be preformed on the areas around the farm and along the cable path. Monopile platforms that stand on the seabed are specifically engineered so their often times extremely low operational frequencies (around 10-100 Hz) are out of the range of hearing for marine life (from 10 Hz to 20 kHz, but only really sensitive above 2 kHz). The operational frequencies of the sonar equipment used to survey the areas is also outside their hearing range at around 100-400 kHz (high frequency to achieve high resolution for construction). Their lifespan is also around 20-30 years if I remember correctly, they may have to be serviced after 5 years but they don't become unusable. They also can definitely be disassembled and have been in the past.

Hoping my employee housing isn't all stiched up. Got to Mammoth today. Was telling me about my Bishop parking permit and I was like woah woah woah. Bishop? Thinking I have to park my car down there. But then they were planning on putting me in housing there. I out in for housing months ago and everything was supposed to be lined up.

Def not working grave shift and living another 45 min from town plus the trip up the mtn. Idk. It's late af in the season now. Hoping this works out.

Also hoping winter turns on soon. Pissing rain in town now but looked like its snowing even in the parking lots on the mtn looking at cars coming down.

Need to start work. I am poor.

Bait, im afraid, but I’ll bite. Idk if ‘scientist’ is the right word, but I have a degree in ocean engineering and currently work for an environmental engineering firm dealing mostly with the installation of offshore wind farms. Also, I’m assuming you didn’t read the article you posted since its main argument against offshore wind farms is the ‘draft from the wind behind them makes the ocean more turbulent’ which you have to admit is pretty dumb. How much turbulence could be created by the presence of a few poles? Especially given the scale of the ocean and the amount of energy transferred over it. Also the last paragraph of the article quite literally starts with “The report does not call for slowing of offshore wind development”

I like my employee housing setup a lot but there are always strings-attached and I kind-of hate how they started me in-between a pay period and have me on a pro-rated rent payment via paychecks until Feb basically. Money is super tight and I basically built a budget to prepare to come out west to patrol and it kinda fucked me for the first 4 weeks. It's through a vacation property company and its great service though. No laundry units in the place so we have to go into town to go do laundry but its cheap. I got a bag of quarters!

Stop trying to gaslight people whales never started regularly washing up dead ashore in large numbers until the wind farms showed up. Put those wind farms in the desert or something they have no business in the ocean.

Glad your on the hill that would suck driving all that way.

Can’t believe it’s so hard for these places to just build a couple fucking buildings so the folks who keep everything running can have a roof. Not bait and switch and ask to drive 45 mins.

Yeah Idk what got mixed up but I got scared lol. Honestly the bussing sounds solid and that def works for day shift people. Cheaper rent farther from town but still got free transport to and from work.

But I honestly might have put out a sender for jobs. Not trying to drive an extra 45 min to work everyday.That would be a big change to spring last minute.
