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.

Woooosh!!! (...only stupid suckers pay taxes.)
The Buzz just said that he didn't work full time and as a result pays relatively little tax.
For his sake, I just hope that he has been able to put aside a nest egg for retirement...

Nah. When retirement time comes he'll just code himself a crowdfunding campaign called Buzzard's Poor.

Assumes that he doesn't have carpal tunnel (or any of many other debilitating health problems) and can still code. I stick by my suggestion of a nest egg.

In the future, all coders will dictate their code to Google/Alexa/Siri.

*Shudders* The cure is much, much worse than the disease. I guess I'll just roll my own voice-to-code engine. No, wait, I won't be able to type the code. Fuck it, I'll just code with my toes!

Nah, I plan on becoming a burden on society. Fair's fair, society's plagued me for over forty years.

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. It is in the final scenes of "Idiocracy". [youtube.com]

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.

14' aluminum, flat-bottom jon boat on a trailer just big enough to haul it. Both together weigh about two or three fat chicks.

>... or three fat chicks.
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.
