I want to be part of a mining company and dig for coal and gems and shit. Make me buy the skills to do so.

You'll either need geology or engineering degrees, preferably both. Alternatively you could try for a drilling crew position, but you'll need to have both a strong background in mechanics and a lot of contacts. You can also try to get into a laboratory; depending on what type of laboratory, you'll need chemistry and/or physical properties.

To get into any of these jobs, you will need contacts. Mining is highly paid (at least in my country) and there are a shitload of people who want in, but you basically need to know someone on the inside to get hired.

So basically, you'll need to both spend money on further education, and do a shitton of sucking up. Also, depending on where you are, you may need to relocate. Most of the commercial mining operations in my country are in remote places and you'll need to do FIFO.

On the upside, if you're successful you'll probably end up rolling in money. So, spend money now, make a fortune later. Call it an investment.

Also spine surgery so I can be a dwarf and sing diggy diggy hole for the rest of my life. It's going to be a life-long joke that only I can laugh at.

I need stickers that let people know I’m rude, crude, with an attitude to stick on my v6 truck. I need to be taken cereal you guys.

Nobody persuaded me to buy my A3 printer so now the urge has been superceded by a desire to buy some large capacity hard drives and build a home NAS. I would want mirrored disks so a couple of 12TB drives would set me back over £300. Add in the rest of the components to build this thing from scratch and I'm pushing close to £1000.

I currently have just over 1TB of files and media on my main computer and it grows at < 2GB per month. I have about 4TB of storage left on there.

I recently bought a retinol boob scrub at Shoppers by a natural beauty brand called Truly Beauty and it's basically impossible to return cosmetics to Shoppers Drug Mart. It has no safety seal and somebody put their big dirty finger and took a gob. Now I don't want to use it but the company said it is the reseller's responsibility. Leave it to natural beauty brands to just leave their products open to be fucked with by random, dirty people.
Don't buy retinol boob scrubs, I guess? Product in question:
Also fucked up by buying it thinking it was a retinol cream not a scrub.

Surely you need drives made for a NAS so they're going to be significantly more expensive than 300 pounds or whatever the fuck that symbol is.
