I went to visit a friend a few states over for their wedding. They let me stay at their place for a week. For the time off I work union :D

I do agree. Unfortunately most manufacturers of diesel engines aren’t stoked about environmental regulations and plenty have stopped trying all together.

Currently their plan is to just throw more urea at the exhaust.

I remember them having to bypass the DEF system on a lot of vehicles because they didn’t make enough spare parts of the system they put in. So I’m sure they knew either face public backlash or get fined by the government. It was probably a calculation where the 2b was on the cheaper side from them. I’m sure they made enough money that they don’t feel the need to fight it.

Once again, not an endorsement. I’m sure every diesel engine manufacturer is/will/was doing the same thing.

I hope you understand “burning it all down” includes millions of people.

I don’t think I’ve stopped in the middle of something without planning on coming back. If something is difficult I’m more likely to do better the next day.

But something that I know I would not have fun with is platinum any Yakuza game. And honestly, I’m glad this game taught me to not worry about not completing things I don’t care about.

I’m sorry, Internet loses all inflection in speech.

It was mostly a joke for myself that I recognized the brand.

I do agree corporations ask too much for not enough.

I didn’t think Stihl needs programmers.

I didn’t read the article but I saw a video where he talked about it a while ago.

Iirc basically he was saying things like: as things consolidate and not mesh with other things we’re going to see the return of company towns. And if you want to switch from one thing or another then you have a lot of inertia to overcome. So you essentially have a CEO that gets to control your life in a way that only kings used to be able to do.
