I just spent all day running AC duct in the New Debar Fellowship Hall (what I've decided the remodeled church shall unofficially be named) with another day of it to look forward to tomorrow. That's what I did shortly before I got on at a computer repair shop/ISP back in the late 90s. I now completely remember why I enjoy sitting on my ass and poking at a keyboard.

The "work" you do is of such low value to anyone, nobody even bothers outsourcing your "job" to India. If your "skills" were in demand at all, you would be sitting on your ass permanently unemployed.
Enjoy being a lazy talentless turd.

When you outsource wealth creation to India, you don't have any wealth creation. When you figure that out you'll understand why SN values Buzzard over you - you are the worthless turd.

News flash for you in fantasyland. Here in reality every coding job is already outsourced to India except all unpaid open source work. And you are absolutely wrong about wealth creation. American open source development certainly does create wealth but it does not create any wealth for the people who do the work. The wealth goes entirely to billion dollar corporations who exploit naive fools dumb enough to work for free with the unrealistic expectation of paid work someday in an economy where every job in their field is outsourced.
SoylentNews is a volunteer operation paid for by donations. It cannot afford real Indian coders so it needs to scrape the bottom of the barrel to find the most incompetent American code monkey who is still willing to bang on a keyboard: Buzzard.

You know, you could stop looking for someone to give you a job and start selling your services to people who could use them. The only one making you lick the asses of your corporate masters is the dipshit in your mirror.

You don't understand how a labor market works. A market has sellers and buyers. In order for workers to sell labor, there need to be buyers. There aren't any buyers of labor when every job is outsourced. There is fraud and there are bad faith job markets where ever job posting is fake. There aren't any buyers of labor.
You're not in the labor market for coders when you're being paid zero to code, you liar. You're pretending to be more successful than you are, you pathetic lazy turd.

Stop pretending to be a coder, you lazy fishing asshole. You're not paid to code, therefore you are not a coder. You're not and never will be a coder because you're not an Indian in India. You're a stupid American redneck bastard asshole living a life of pretense.

Just now, with TMB tax dollars from my unemployment insurance in the Grate State Of Tennekentuklohoma, I have put down a deposit on a Tesla Cybertruck! Thanks, TMB! Couldn't have done it without you, and kept our America Grate Again! Kudos for your spartan libertarian not-at-all-gay lifestyle! You give hope to the rest of us who are pure white, and not half-breed siwashes like some people who pretend to be Native American with Blue or Green dyed hair and socialist principles. Thank God for TMB, that is all I can say! A man's man who smokes man smokes, or smokes men, I always confuse those. But the truck, Buzzard, you gots to get a truck.

Unemployment moneys come from people who pay unemployment insurance. I haven't in over twenty years.
And having a truck means people will ask you to haul things for them. My Echo pulls my boat just fine, gets ~38MPG (28MPG on shitty ethanol-having gas that I quit using), and nobody ever asks me to haul heavy shit in it.

IIRC, the "echo" had a largest engine that only put out 110hp and ~100 lbf of torque. Even with the drivetrain gearing and torque converter, it still makes me ask what kind of boat you've got behind one of those things.

Let's see, that should be about 120 grams, each chick (peep) is about 40 grams at a day old.
Yeah, the Echo should be able to pull that without too much trouble.
