Small-Scale Question Sunday for June 14, 2026

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

Ah, I was about to say parts driver but you beat me to the punch. 12–8 weekdays. The perfect job for getting drunk every night while in college. That job paid $8/hour 20 years ago, which comes out to $13.21 in today's money, though the guys who had been doing it forever made comparable money to the other shitty jobs at the time that didn't require college education, and they didn't require working in an industrial facility. The best days were the ones where we'd have to drop off a trade-in at the auction, which required two of us driving an hour away and taking the least efficient route possible, which may or may not have included stopping at the end of a dead-end street for a nap. The one truck had satellite radio in it, too, which was luxury at the time.
