  • Going into sewage vats and breaking up solidified waste and oil clogs

    Deep sea oil rig repair

    Underwater dam repair

    Driving public transportation (not enough to maintain a system)

    Elder care (there is a worldwide lack of people willing to clean up piss and shit of often angry, sometimes aggressive people and deal with regular loss for bad pay, much less in an ideal profession freedom world, relative to the amount of people needing care)

    Forensic pathology is something that very very few people enjoy also, but is very needed.

    Urine farmer (hunting luring, sprays for animal repellant)

    Coal miner

    Any precious or rare metal or stone miner

    People love intellectual jobs, creative jobs, and some public service jobs. It is much much harder to find people to do body-destroying terrible-condition manual labor jobs. Ideally those are the jobs to be replaces, but of course capitalists want to replace the former category of jobs because those cut into their profits more.




  • Spinning up and down hard drives repeatedly drastically reduces their lifespan though. Once a day or so, fine, but if you set a 30 minute idle time or something and it spins them down a dozen times per day, you are putting acceleration forces on the drive many more times than intended.

    If you have to buy a new HDD twice as often because you spin it down, any financial or environmental savings is instantly negated and in the end it is much, much worse in both respects.




  • I did this a few years ago.

    Maybe the best option is to create an entirely new prefix in Heroic and install battle.net via their “run installer first” button. Via Winetricks GUI you can install the 2 fonts or whatever that the lutris script installs.

    Then, copy the game files of StarCraft 2 or WoW or whatever to the new prefix program files.

    Then, in battle.net, it will either auto-detect the game, or you can go through the “search for games” flow in settings.

    That should work, it is always better to have a fresh prefix as it takes almost no space. Once everything is copied you can simply delete the old one.
