John Deere and a few others recently paid like 20m to build a diesel tech training center for my university that includes several large vehicle bays and a fuel development lab, with the expectation the students would work for their companies after graduation. It’s starting to look like these kids will be opening their own businesses and ending the cycle of ripping off farmers in the community.

As a former mechanic with lots of lovely health issues before even hitting 40, I really hope they do work for themselves so they can get out of the grunt work when they are my age and still earn from their experience

Sometimes being my flavor of neuro divergent really sucks lmao. I do not have a favorite food. I don’t even really have a favorite flavor. I don’t even like to drink coffee multiple days a week, which is why I have a cabinet with 30 odd types of teas and tisanes.

I don’t even have a favorite texture or flavor profile of food. I definitely prefer bitter and spicy to sweet, but that’s about it. And I find the act of eating comforting in itself, but I have nothing I can point to as a comfort food.

Every animal I’ve had has reacted to my playing of a flute or ocarina. They ignore my piano and guitar tho lol

I have two perspectives to this. I once had several male Indian roommates and I honestly don’t remember them having a scent beyond “male”. I could pick up turmeric from one of them, but I think he used a turmeric toothpaste.

I’m white and afab (not on t at the time) and a decade after having those roomies, I had a half-Indian friend tell me I smell like her dad lol. I think curry odor might just stick to clothing, I make it a few times a week so I’m sure my whole house smells like curry to outsiders at this point

2.An apple with caramel popcorn seasoning sprinkled on it

3.Nothing

My Bose nc700 headphones have a button for Google assistant.

Is there a work around? I feel like every time I figure out how to keep it from uploading and just save locally, it resets the next time I boot up. I’ve been using word because the transcribe feature is very helpful for navigating uni with my disabilities

A simple NY style slice with extra cheese. Maybe some Buffalo sauce to dip in if I’m feeling fancy

Covid wrecked me even with vaccination and boosters. Water, and sleep is what helped. I didn’t even eat for a couple days. I could barely get out of bed, let alone stand and cook. Just slept and drank what I could

I’d love to go to a sober bar. Sure, I can get non alcoholic cocktails at my local, but it’d be nice to have the atmosphere and know everyone else is sober too

If we ban trans women who’ve been on estrogen for two+ years bared on genetics, then we should also ban athletes with genetic advantages like Michael Phelps. I’m not in favor of banning people

Are you thinking of Rush Limbaugh? Who later actually died of (lung) cancer because he wouldn’t stop smoking?
