Because those millions of dollars are an investment in a long, profitable career. "Take the day off and rest" versus "keep pushing and do irrecoverable harm to your body," which do you think is preferred?

The smell of blood in the night, the sound of squelching coming from the basement door that I know I boarded up, and the sight of my late wife holding what was once our son.

Step 1: Go to any hardware store and buy a 16oz claw hammer and a 25' measuring tape.

Step 2: drive around anywhere you know of new housing construction happening near you

Step 3: Find the project manager and ask if they're looking to hire help (if you live in North America, they are).

Step 4: Keep your head down, show up sober every day and you'll already be placing yourself in the top 10% of your new career field.

I did this exact thing for much of my early 20s (less than a decade ago) in 41 of the lower 48 states and lived a comfortable enough life

Yes, more common however is a rib puncturing a lung. Regardless, the (slim) possibility of that happening is preferable to the certain death that would happen if you didn't perform CPR

Just commenting to agree with you. I see way too many "OpSec bros" on Lemmy try to say that using a VPN with Tor is a good idea
