but for real what starter should i get for the arduino?? im thinkin ill get one next paycheck and itll be super fucking sweet

You should get that one your nerd friend with a job is never going to use, or whichever is cheapest at radioshack.

I found some lecture notes on programing them.
Wanna go over them together?

If you're wanting to jump right in to some more viseral stuff, you should totally build a vaporizer. Learn to use thermistors as sensor input, servos, wiring, programing, and best of all you get to keep yourself safe from black lung and bigbox employment!

This but also australia has changed the visa rules to allow skilled americans in more easily...if you've got an electrical qualification or experience you could be taking home 100K/y easy

ELECTRICIANS working on Bass Strait oil and gas platforms have won a 15 per cent pay rise, making them among the nation's best-paid tradesmen.

The Esso offshore sparkies earn between $220,000 and $230,000 a year, and the new three-year deal will see some of the elite blue-collar workers earn more than $260,000 annually by 2015. Employed on fly-in, fly-out rosters, the estimated 350 employees work seven consecutive 12-hour shifts, living on the platforms for eight nights before they return to the mainland for a week off.

Critical to their high pay is that they hold dual trades in electrical and instrumentation, to perform crucial maintenance work on rigs.

$250K for working less than 200 days a year sounds orright

here's where i work:

placeholder - think of funny image - maybe something with cats? ask lowtax

so...

I asked.

And it's the biggest mistake I ever made.

While a forums account costs merely $10, it turns out the platinum, search, and archives upgrades cost additional amounts. After maxing out my account, purchasing 30 smilies, and red letter titles for my nemeses, I'm left with nothing. After satisfying all these requirements, it turns out I was just referred to "Radium" for any additional concerns.

Maybe if you idiots learned about work ethic you wouldn't be such terrible worthless people. As far as I know AnimeDad is the only other person here with a real blue collar job that isn't in an office, academia, or a job for college kids

I have the most physically demanding job than you, fellow white man. fellow Job liker

most of my upvotes are for either childish jokes to disguise my inability to engage with serious issues or boasting about my incipient nihilism
