Im not sure people who work 90 hours have too much more or less of a risk factor of being suied over a random accident than anyone else. But I agree, winding up in 100K + of debt due to an accident is one example that is fairly rare, but we are talking about luck, luck implies chance and at the extreme ends of that the gain/loss will be extreme.

Again not saying luck is typically the dominate factor, but it is a factor and for the few people who are unlucky it can be rather devastating.

@SuperDicq Taxes = communism, you arent getting all your memos!

Someone (elsewhere) just told me "Well that just sounds like communism with extra steps"... I lawled.

New business idea: reverse lottery.... Basically we randomly select a person every month and whoever is selected we send someone over to their house and rob them of everything they have at gun point. Buying a ticket to the lottery ensures your name never gets called.

@Alphakilopapa

While luck is certainly a factor as you point out its not usually the dominant one.. I mean you say you have shit luck, but one accident in just the right way can put a person 100K in debt whether its from law suits or health insurance not covering something or whatever.

You can minimize the chance luck will bite you in the ass. But you cant eliminate it as a factor.. the fact that you are thriving means even if you had bad luck, your luck could have been far far worse.

@bibliolater Neither, it is simply telling us that crocodiles dont swim there, so its perfectly safe :)

I was a bit reluctant to swim here, but thankfully this sign reassured me its safe!

@garyackerman Does anyone really view them like that anymore? I feel like that perspective died in like the 90s

@ligthert It can be fun to learn to solder, and i assure you it gets a lot easier.. but if it is your very first time soldering I wouldnt jump right to a keyboard to be honest... even one made to be easy to solder will be too easy for you to ruin and cost you 100$... practice on cheap throwaway projects first.

@Alphakilopapa

There is an element of luck to it as well, I wouldnt say all that.. But short of having some really bad luck that drained your money, then yea, if your working 90 hour weeks for a long time you should be fairly wealthy unless your doing something wrong.

@Meachamus_Prime

Yea anythign other than a straight keyboard is nice.. I prefer split largely cause the keys are in the same place so muscle memory is better.

@ligthert

@toiletpaper

Im not sure if retired cops are a reflection of the current on-duty cops...

#ACAB is true not because being a cop makes you an asshole, but because a good cop would have to arrest all the other cops and thus would get fired... so if they arent an active cop I wouldnt even count them.

@mjambon

@jmacc it may not have memorized them individually. My guess would be it has special handling for those and most continuous values specific to a domain.

@selea fair argument.. if your gonna work 90 hour weeks just make sure your investing in YOUR future and not someone elses.

@mjambon

Whish i knew where you were with calm cops. Ive seen cops on average be much more emotional than your average person.

That said people are getting a bit wackadoo so im not sure the gap is as large as it used to be.

@toiletpaper

@ligthert please do tag me and let me know how you like whatever you end up using.
