It’s really easy to tell if a tourist is american. Just get caught while trying to pickpocket them.

Same. What joke is it supposed to be?

I’d rather be first than than anything after that. Because after one or maybe two, he’s going to be forcing it and it gets much more risky.

All at once?

The only way to install unverified apps will be via developer mode and if you turn that on a bunch of apps refuse to run until you turn it back off.

Wait, when did this become a thing? I’ve had developer mode turned on on my phone for ages without any issues.

I was actually tier 3 support. I just also happened to be the sole support for one specific area which meant even low level tickets from there got automatically directed to me.

Earlier hyperbole aside, I honestly fuckin love my job now. If I didn’t rely on having an income, I would still be doing this for free. But working a desk job drove me nuts. I’m sure it’s great for a lot of people but I just can’t do it.

The trades can attract fairly diverse people because you don’t have to fit into an office. Generally you’re just given your work and you’re expected to do it. Welders especially can easily be specialized enough that they can’t really be micromanaged.

As a current tradesman who is regularly burned, electrocuted, and cut on the job while rolling around in filthy crawl spaces, dragging 100 lb of gear up a ladder onto scorching rooftops, or freezing inside walk in deep freezers… working an IT desk job was way worse.

I would sooner stick my tongue in a 480V panel than have to go back to answering “printer don’t work” tickets.

Really? I just get an immediate login wall on mobile.
