Did we see this... -- (link) - Mel Profit Jul 31, 10:15 9
- I'd wager even people who have been in manufacturing for decades are finding themselves going back to school. - con_carne Jul 31, 10:23
- I think it's great. I've been waiting for trade and technical school enrollment to take off. -- nm - mara Jul 31, 10:21
- You don't know what to make of it? This doesn't seem like a positive development? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 31, 10:19 5
  - Of course it seems positive. I'm just surprised it's the first I've heard of it. If true this seems to suggest that the manufacturing sector is headed - Mel Profit Jul 31, 10:23 4
    - [deleted]
    - Manufacturers have huge incentives to update their equipment, as a way to increase productivity and keep labor costs down. - con_carne Jul 31, 10:31
    - Some people are realising they they could earn more with a trade school certificate and manufacturing skills, than with, say, a college degree that - Roger More Jul 31, 10:31 1
      - Yeah, fewer jobs overall is the dark side of this. Replacing people with machines. - con_carne Jul 31, 10:40
- I recently read that kids have to get over the stigma of manufacturing jobs. Tons are making huge bucks now. - zork Jul 31, 10:19

Yeah so the SD card I got is totally hosed. I ended up just having to pull it from my phone. Stupid Meritline sending me a bad card. -- nm - sycor Jul 31, 10:14 2

say goodbye to Snoop Dogg. -- (link) - Reagen Jul 31, 10:10 6
- Oh boy. A reggae album by Snoop Lion? Okay. - Krusty Jul 31, 10:22 2
  - I'm a fan of reggae but overall it's not the most difficult music to do. It does take better singing skills than rap though. -- nm - zork Jul 31, 10:25
  - Maybe Mad Lion will make an appearance. -- nm - spamlet Jul 31, 10:23
- wha? *thud* -- nm - SyrDragon Jul 31, 10:15

        and leaving the area doesn't have to mean selling. Might want to rent it out for a while. -- nm - zork Jul 31, 10:21 1
        
        well, it depends. It could be another headache he does not need. - groiny Jul 31, 10:23
