It's a living, good fiber splicers can make money here. I am very mediocre at cabling.


Despite my shaky hands I'm not too bad at it, but I could definitely be better. If I land a new job due to my industry certs it won't be one on my fiber splicing abilities lol. That seems to be the way to go though so it might not be a bad idea now, especially with upcoming mass infrastructure replacements.

Hopefully I can land a job in Japan or Washington or something. Looking to get out of Singapore.

Yeah but it is much easier to type a long post on a computer. Mostly because a computer does not have fucking auto correct which I despise with the heat of a thousand suns.

Won't work, there are still surveillance cameras everywhere. And why use missiles when the machines can just turn off the safety measures of chemical plants and get rid of vast numbers of the human population that way? Chemical warfare keeps the infrastructure intact better, too. Skynet never made much sense, come to think of it.

Our workplace restaurant apparently translates it into English as "lightly salted salmon".
But I guess if you call it "salted salmon" you give impression of fish that's salted to such degree that it'll shatter if you hit a table with it hard enough force.
