    I work maintenance at an auto manufacturer (not UAW), it has its ups and downs but I generally like my job, the biggest annoyance in my line of work is that most of my coworkers are right/far right on the political scale (and not at all quiet about it) and I'm definitely not, most days I just stay quiet (I do not talk about politics at work but they assume) and keep to myself just so I don't have a room full of people berating me about my choices in politics.

    It pays really well in my opinion and I get decent vacation time including the ability to earn more vacation days by working holidays (you can choose between earned vacation and double time plus holiday pay).

    I guess I should add that he is also of leash in fenced areas as well, obviously this is a necessity for a working breed to get plenty of exercise.

    Like many other commenters here, I never let my dog off leash.

    The most we will do is put him on an extra long leash and let it drag behind him near us, but this is only in an area that's blocked off to traffic and not many people around.

    I have an Australian Shepard and while they are very smart dogs and usually listen well, they are still animals with a mind of their own. If something gets my dogs attention I would much rather have control over him than just hope he listens to my commands.

    Will Wheaton is an amazing narrator! I don't think it matters what he's reading honestly, I'm gonna listen to it.

    Almost every one of your reasons to buy a more expensive phone makes no sense... Besides the RAM part (all phones have this issue in my opinion), any smart phone can handle any of that with no problems, and what performance hitches are you running into with discord?

    I'm using a pixel 6a and it handles all that I throw at it, even when I'm traveling internationally, never had issues with discord and in my opinion the only thing this phone would have any issues with besides closing apps due to RAM availability would be gaming which I don't think phones are good for anyways.

    Most skydiving scenes, I am a former skydiver and most of the time the free fall stage only lasts 45 to 60 seconds, when a skydiving scene is like 5 mins it just ruins it.

    The man from Earth (2007)

    I love the way this movie was done, it's just a group of colleagues sitting in a living room talking the whole time (also a scene outside the house), but the story the main character tells about how he's actually thousands of years old and that's why he moves away and starts over so no one will question why he doesn't age, it just pulls you in and makes you want to keep listening.

    So many people will say this movie makes no sense or call out the mistakes they made and say it ruins it, but if you just let your imagination run wild for a bit it can be a really good watch, this is actually in my top 3 movies I would say.

    Yes, and if you're looking into buying a carpet cleaner don't just buy any random one (like my wife did), don't get me wrong, it works great but when you decide to also clean your couch/chairs and the one you bought doesn't have the handheld piece, you'll have to buy a smaller spot cleaner as well...

    Do your research and try to think about all its uses before you purchase.

    Also when you're dumping out brown water from clean looking (white, in my case) carpets, you will never again think they aren't dirty...

    Same here, and in the transition between leaving Reddit and waiting for an invite to Tildes I found myself much happier not jumping down the rabbit hole that is Reddit.

    It might take a little research but some record labels do a good job of supporting the bands, one that comes to mind is Fat Wreck Chords, which I know is really only one style of music, but the last album I bought from them was $10 and they send a link to download the mp3's. They treat bands fairly and don't make them sign huge record deals (they can just record one album if they want)

    Get ready for your switch to nights a night early if you are planning on staying up during the day on your off days, I work 4 or 5 days on and get 4 or 5 days off and it really helps if I stay up the night before work to get myself used to it after my days off.
