Just because @elonmusk is saying the exact same thing that I’ve been saying for the last 16 years, doesn’t mean we’ll be working together to challenge the preposterous notion that a four-year degree is the best path for the most people. Nor does it mean we’ll be partnering to debunk the stigmas, stereotypes, myths and misperceptions that have led to the current skills gap threatening to cripple our workforce. As for dramatically expanding the work ethic scholarship program at mikeroweWORKS, (which has so far helped train 2,200 people in a variety of essential jobs that don’t require a four-year degree with over $12 million in scholarships,) or the expensive but necessary business of launching a national effort across all media to reinvigorate the skilled trades in a way that encourages more kids to give the skilled trades an honest look – I can’t say with any level of certainty that Elon and I will be joining forces.

But I sure would like to.

Learning tons on #vibrotactiletechnology Very interesting, very simple solution. A lot of upside with drug-free, non-invasive therapies.

@ToddGreene20 To do it right, the acclimation phase is very long. Far too long for 99% of users, who skip past progressions and just do velocity throwing. Some can manage it, most will exceed tissue load tolerance resulting in injury. I’m waiting see the chronic impact to posterior shoulder.

[The Real Mike Rowe @mikeroweworks]

Last night in Dallas, after demolishing another world class steak at @PappasBros, I called for a Lyft, which pulled up to the curb a few seconds after I left the restaurant. The driver’s window rolled down and a big man with a white beard looked at me and said, “Mike Rowe?”
I nodded, and the man said, “I’m your guy.”
As I slid into the back seat, I thought about that expression—I’m your guy. Growing up, I used to hear people say, “I gotta guy for that!” A plumbing emergency, a stump that had to be removed, a leaky roof, clogged gutters…whatever the job, people always “had a guy for that.” Usually, a guy who showed up in a work truck, armed with a toolbox. Well, in this case, my guy showed up in an SUV, armed with a light saber. The light saber was wedged between the console and the passenger’s seat and poked up like a white flagpole.
“I can’t help but notice your light saber,” I said to my guy.
“Never leave home without it,” he said.
“Big Star Wars fan?” I asked.
“Nah, but the light saber comes in handy when I'm driving, especially after concerts and sporting events.”
“Do tell,” I said.
“Well, there’s thousands of black Suburbans out there like this one, and people can’t always read the license plate. So, when I come to pick somebody up after an event after dark, I just tell ‘em to look for the big old, bearded guy in overalls waving around a purple light saber.”
With that, my guy pressed a button on the hilt of his toy sword, turning the white tube into a bright purple pipe.
“Very clever,” I said.
My guy shrugged and said, “Most problems have a simple solution, if you think about ‘em the right way.”
My Guy told me his name was Gordon Holmes and pulled a business card from the front pocket of his overalls. He presented it to me with a flourish, and I did a double take when I read it.
“Wow,” I said, “you weren’t kidding. You really are My Guy.”
“Don’t get too excited,” he said. “I’m everybody’s guy.”
“So, what does everybody’s guy do, exactly?”
“Whatever needs getting done,” he said. "You name it, I can fix it."
“So, you’re like a handy man on call?”
“Yeah, but not just handyman stuff,” he said. “Here’s somebody who needed a Santa Claus a few months ago.”
My Guy handed me his phone, where I saw a picture of him in a Santa Claus suit with a smiling kid on his lap.
“Don’t tell me,” I said, “let me guess. The kid wanted a light saber?”
My Guy laughed as we pulled up to the hotel. “That would have been something,” he said. “A kid asks Santa Claus for a light saber, and Santa Claus whips one out on the spot."
"Probably would have scared him for life," I said. "Kid would be seventeen and still sending letters to the North Pole."
We laughed some more, and when I got out, I said, “Hey, you mind if I see that thing in action? I’d like to share this moment with a few million friends on the Internet.”
“No problem,” he said. “In fact, show ‘em my card, too. Always looking for new chores to do.”
“You sure about that?” I said. “You’re liable to get more calls than you can handle.”
“No calls,” he said. “Just texts and emails.”
With that, Gordon hopped out of his Suburban and began to brandish his toy sword. My Guy was right. It’s hard to miss a big man in overalls and a white beard, swinging a purple light saber when the sun goes down...

You can do the same sets/reps but leave the weight room getting far more/less benefit than others based on intent and effort. If it’s supposed to be violent, it better look violent.@JohnathanAbram1 never let anyone get more out of a workout than him in 2023! Respect the man!
