Experienced IT support techs in Silicon Valley used to be $25 per hour. However, seems like everyone wants to live in San Francisco (only God knows why) and are unwilling to commute more than 30 minutes away (Mountain View and Palo Alto). I've seen the rate as high as $38 per hour for positions with 45 to 90 minute commutes (San Jose, Sunnyvale and Santa Clara).
As for your mother, she spent three hours polishing my tiny old knob. A big pitcher of heavy cream exploded in her mouth. She swallowed without a single drop falling to the floor. And she did it for free.;)
It would be nice if the price for DDR4 memory would drop. I've been sitting on the fence about upgrading my gaming rig from an AMD AM3 to a AMD Ryzen (fast memory) or Intel 8th Gen (slow memory). The new AMD Ryzen 2 is rumored to require even faster memory.
Does Amazon ask for a high school diploma? I skipped high school, went to community college and got my A.A. degree in General Ed. Getting an entry level job was a bitch because hiring managers insisted on a high school diploma even though I had an A.A. degree. After I started my technical career, a high school diploma didn't matter.
But what's most distinctive about creimer's youtube channels is that he talks like a retard missing his top teeth, with a huge roll of neck-fat. That's not really something that can be pretended.
The retarded kids in the third grade thought it was funny to knock my front teeth out on the playground. Despite being fat and missing teeth, I never let that stopped me from enjoying life and pursuing a career in tech. What you can do is sometimes more important than how you look or speak. I've done a lot in my lifetime. YouTube is an interesting experiment on pushing the boundaries of what people say I can't do. The only people who think this a problem are retarded adults.
Government workers are often chosen due to aspects unrelated to ability.
For the government IT project that I'm on, 20+ years of IT experience was a requirement. That eliminated all the whiny hipsters who think that unboxing and turning on an Apple product is all the IT knowledge they will ever need.
...network at my government IT job started blocking some YouTube... Work much?
If I'm not listening to 30 teammates yammering in my headset from the all day conference call, I'm listening to YouTube videos in the background. Otherwise, the only noise I would hear in my private office is my keyboard and trackball from administrating 80K+ workstations. I'm currently listening to Bogie2988 talking about his weight loss on the H2 Podcast channel.
The network at my government IT job started blocking some YouTube ads this week. If I want to listen to a video in the background, and a blocked ad came up, I had to keep hitting F5 until a legit ad or no ad appeared. PewDiePie joked earlier this week that people should watch his channel since he has no ads as YouTube no longer loves him. It's true! No ad blocking on PewDiePie's channel.
Not quite. Children don't have money. Their parents have money. And it's called marketing. Although marketing can be considered gambling because too often the marketing department has no clue as tot which half of the ad budget was well spent.

Global warming is not predicted to end humanity. Even in the most dire of scenarios, there will be plenty of people around.
It's easier for people to visualize the world going up in a ball of fire. Not so much when global warming might mean the gradual extinction of humanity in the next millennium.
I don't have any problems reading ebooks on my black-and-white Kindle or any iOS device. I picked up an Amazon Fire 7 for $30 during the holidays and had a hard time reading any ebook on that device. Might be the glossy finish on the screen.
I can neither confirm nor deny these changes. Although most people think I work for the FBI. Probably because I told the story about a college roommate getting recruited into the FBI as a forensic network technician and carries a gun with his networking gear when out in the field.
BTW, I got a new YouTube video coming out on Friday about why I thought the three-day government shutdown was too short for getting any IT work done. Check out my channel when you get the chance.
creimer works in IT but can accomplish less than an average computer user.
I work in government IT and worked with pay as an essential employee during the government shutdown. As for the non-essential average computer user, they got a day off without pay to participate in the Women's March and wear pink pussy hats..
Having gone from Adobe CS3 (academic license) to GIMP to Adobe Photoshop 2017/18 ($10 per month), I find Photoshop is more efficient at getting work done. If a Photoshop tutorial on YouTube shows a technique that can be done in one step, GIMP would require two to five additional steps. I don't have time to figure out how to do something in GIMP when Photoshop makes it so easy to do.
But that would imply that people got training in the first place. Bean counters don't like training because it is an expense that contributes nothing to the bottom line. You can't retrain someone who wasn't already trained in the first place. Training is what most people need.
Wasn't AMD video cards getting all the love for cryptocurrency market? I didn't have any problems getting a Nvidia 1050 4GB video card for $100 at Newegg last year.

Your mother didn't have a problem last night when she polished my tiny old knob.
Whew, good catch, the fat fuck is getting trickier and trickier to smoke out, and I can only put in so much time in a day.
The amazon link wasn't mine. Odd format. Not a valid affiliate link anyway. The "creimer" account got closed when California's passed the Amazon sales tax in 2011.

I don't have any "sockpockets" (it's sockpuppets, dumb ass). Since I'm already at -1, I'm just going to troll you from now on.
I heard your mother gives great blow jobs. I need my small old knob polished.
I didn't think microfiche still existed.
Wait a minute... Isn't Anonymous Cashews your "sockpocket" account?

Back in the old days, it was defrauding orphans and widows. These days it's defrauding the 1%.

I'm looking forward to the robot version of Monty Python. Should do a better job at ass blowing trumpets.
Every time I see the word HomePod, I think of it as HomoPod and do a double take.

If a Chrysler PT Cruiser gets into a serious front-end fender bender, the entire front end gets replaced for $4k. Just nuts!
