People who have to work outdoors in inclement weather, like road crews and electrical linemen, are unsung heroes. What a miserable, dangerous necessary job to keep society functioning. As the PNW ends a tough week, I see the east coast is about to get another storm. Stay safe and thank you for your service.

115° (46°c) for a month straight, not getting below 100° at night. Sounds like a good place to love walking

Think about this a lot now that I've bought a house and have a computer corner in the basement. Gonna pass my 30s, 40s, 50s, etc etc in that lil corner with my surroundings staying the same, playing the same games at the same desk, but me aging

After ignoring/making fun brocore my whole life, I listened to Bane's "Give Blood" recently, and it's actually super good. I came up on the midst of the worst hardcore trends of the early 00s and wrote off every band that dudes who go to the pit in gym shorts liked

Follow-up edit: I don't understand OP's pic. Is it saying all the NYHC bands/fans come from rich suburbs?

Came here to say electrician. Or anything related to utility (gas, electric, water, Internet, transportation) maintenance. These are often "we need someone 365 days a year" jobs, because they are literally the ones maintaining infrastructure for the rest of us, but those jobs also pay well and are in demand everywhere there are people.

If you're not qualified for that stuff, consider starting with something like Flagging/traffic control. You'll start as the poor sap holding a sign in the rain, but you can study and eventually become the person who designs/approves the traffic control plans, etc etc. Pretty much all utility work requires traffic control.

Surveying/Right of Way/GIS, if you'd rather work in a cube
