At least here in America. Job for job, position by position. The gender pay gap is not a thing. I think any gap in pay is due to the gender NOT wanting the hard jobs. Not wanting the hard hours or the change in life the job would require. Pay is usually based on skills, ability to get the job completed.
Here in America it is ever apparent that marriage for a man who has goals and ambitions, is a huge L. When you actually look at what marriage is and brings to the table in a relationship, there is literally zero perks for a man who has a good career and some assets in life. (Or at a minimum has a work ethic and self discipline to achieve his goals)
That said man can achieve everything he wants in life without being legally bound to a female and more importantly the State.
I think it’s a status symbol more than anything. If a guy would do a bit of homework on “alimony “ and automatic child support if/when the marriage failed in his state, I bet at least a few guys would definitely have second thoughts about signing a legal document to in which the other party is incentivized to break said contract.
Now the same can be said for a female who has a bum of a boyfriend. Would not recommend marrying a bum of a guy if you have a career and assets.
Ok so hear me out! I and NOT religious in any way. That all went out the window when I was 8 and could do basic basic math on Santa Claus and how long he had to get to every single house in the world with his presents. Now if Santa wasn’t real that ment non of the “make believe “ stuff is real. Anyways I don’t care but having spend time in the Middle East and seeing Islam culture, there is no way Islamic beliefs and Christian beliefs can coexist without tension and violence. Don’t shoot me the messenger because I don’t care either way but someone has to see this too. Right? I mean it was obvious back in 2005 and it seems to be the same now.
Took the roof off and laid new asphalt roll on! Reinforced the existing walls and at least used Simpson ties as required and really needed for this structure. I’m a one man band so budgeted myself 9 working days. Still need to reside the beast alone with installing a window and throwing up some coil for the fascia.
Had this Icon 73” Tool Box for about 4 years now and will say it is top quality for the price paid. I’m just a weekend warrior when it comes to wrenching but have no complaints about this box. Would definitely buy again if I needed to.
Track Saw is one of those tools that you don’t really need if you have the time and patience to make jigs and measure plenty to make the cut but damn….It sure is nice just to wipe this plunge saw out with a long track and make your cut!
Yes I see the Milwaukee framing nailer and I will not be buying Makita’s because they are about a decade late to market here in the states with their framing nailer.
Anyone else work in the weekend to get ahead of next week’s work? Making good use of the good weather.
Looking for a rear rack like this but for my F450. Would be nice to have the extra mounting surfaces and keep my gooseneck towing!
Was going to install a air cooled 26kw Generac at my house but since I have decided this is my forever home and NG isn’t the most reliable fuel source in my area, I’m going with a diesel generator. Easier fuel storage and I am not reliant on a 3rd party for my generator to run. Being liquid cooled I look forward to this being more of an anytime I need generator instead of only when the power goes out.
Sold my 26kw pretty easy in FB marketplace. I’m not dead set on Generac if there is another brand of diesel generator everyone likes? 30kw size is what I’m looking at.
Yeah this wasn’t worth the $800 I paid when it came out like 10 years ago but it did pay for itself over time. I have since replaced it with a 3 plane M12 Milwaukee but I still own this. Havnt used it in a while but still works!
