Thanks for the info.

You have reached us. Is it supposed to say anything or is it just an echo?

Do you have a drivers license, clean driving record, and don’t use drugs. Then City Public Works or Garbage Collection both pay well, have low entry requirements, and provide on the job training for tons of equipment that translates well to a bevy of warehouse and construction positions if you decide to move on afterward.

If any of the three above are a problem though you might look into a Plumbing or HVAC apprenticeship. These tend to be more flexible on things like drivers licenses, driving record, and even criminal record. It’s basically on the job training for a couple of years until you pass your Journeyman exam. Some places start at min wage until you reach Journeyman, but depending on location (and need) it can be $15-17 starting and goes up to about $1000 per week once you get the Journeyman license. This applies to Electrical and Glaziers as well but they are also quite a bit more dangerous.

I try to participate on the lemmy.world community but it’s pretty slow.

Hot and Scaled are my main sorts. I alternate a couple of times a day. They get me the most interesting content.

I only check the first 3 pages of Active twice per day.

Edit: New is once per week and I generally regret it.

Pathfinder_Kingmaker. I spent ages talking about builds and strategies on that reddit sub. I still miss guiding new players into the games. The BG3 community is the closest I’ve found but it doesn’t scratch quite the same itch due to 5e’s simplicity.

Pathfinder does have a few active communities but they are all for the tabletop. The one for the game on Lemmy.world is dead as a doornail.

Honestly sounds like they dodged a bullet. Tesla doesn’t sound like beneficial employment.

Sadly I think both would want it, though as you said for different reason. To our detriment either way sadly.

Great Author sadly disqualified due to date for the thread.

My only hope for her is that she has more to put out before she passes. Damned good author.

Children of Time and Shards of Earth are great and Tchaikovsky will only get better.

Upvoted for Bujold and Cherryh. That said I prefer Bujold’s Sharing Knife.

Based on the company I have to check out Tepper.

I love it too, but American Gods is it’s wellspring.

Honestly, Stardust is probably my favorite of his.

American Gods and Neverwhere are classics. Neil Gaiman’s place on this list is assured and well deserved.

Haruki Murakami is probably the best fit for the time limit you’ve requested as his first book was published in 1979, he’s considered to be one of greatest living authors, and Kafka on the Shore is a classic.

That said my nomination would be Brian Jacques. His children’s series Redwall is a long running classic on par with Winnie the Pooh and Alice in Wonderland.
