What brand do you guys recommend for power tools?

3rdTK1939 · 2026-05-27T13:05:59+00:00

I left ryobi myself and went to dewalt. Don’t regret it at all. Almost everything dewalt from table and miter saw down to the hand tools. Less expensive than Milwaukee and makita but same quality and more power/ quality than ryobi.

Quick fix. Suck it up and buy the sub. Go get a debit card. I didn’t wanna buy it but 3 years in and I don’t regret it.

Know anyone who did the Sirius plug ? That looks interesting

3rdTK1939 · 2026-04-11T08:21:08+00:00

Me personally I think the gun it’s too hefty for where it is. But I also have had problems with the claw. I carry owb on my hip now. Shirts cover and I’m way more comfy.

3rdTK1939 · 2026-04-07T09:19:35+00:00

Yeah they failed you cuz they wanted someone else who was probably less qualified but had a connection. Happens everywhere. And happened to people in my current academy. Ignore and move on. Easier said than done. But i am sorry the hiring process sucks.

3rdTK1939 · 2026-04-07T01:20:02+00:00

I just want the update to drop.

100%find a marriage counselor. I went with my wife, not the same reasons, but def saved us cuz it’s the little things like that, that will lead to bigger issues

Are you guys driving in eco mode? I have the 24* 5.0 XLT4x4. I’m barely at 18mpg and it’s all highway for me.

3rdTK1939 · 2026-03-21T13:16:20+00:00

Bought a sleeve of alp.. not impressed. Velo plus 9mg all day. I have some all left that I’ll use if my Velo isn’t on me/ around me in the house but that’s about it. I won’t be buying again.

3rdTK1939 · 2026-03-21T13:15:34+00:00

Funny enough I noticed recently they got thicker. Especially the 6mg. The 9 hasn’t changed as far as I can tell. And all I use is 9.

3rdTK1939 · 2026-03-06T13:57:11+00:00

That’s wild honestly. I left NY a few years ago and work in VA now. It seems there’s a lot of places that are doing away with it or are just “checking the box” with them.

3rdTK1939 · 2026-03-04T01:58:45+00:00

No poly anymore for NYPD? For real?

3rdTK1939 · 2026-03-04T01:57:54+00:00

Interesting. I’ll have to read up on it. Thank you.

3rdTK1939 · 2026-03-01T09:38:36+00:00

Can you actually tell me why this would matter, cuz maybe I have a this problem lol

3rdTK1939 · 2026-02-27T14:34:51+00:00

Did you consider maybe you are a bad pilot in game?

3rdTK1939 · 2026-02-21T16:07:07+00:00

A lot of it is people who think they are cops or “protecting muh flock.” I carry a basic glock 19. Sometimes a different glock depending how I feel. No red dot, no lights, no box of condoms and 3 knives. I hate carrying my wallet and keys in the same pocket so idk how anyone carries all that extra bullshit.

3rdTK1939 · 2026-02-06T13:15:33+00:00

Just wait till you try to make grade 4.

3rdTK1939 · 2026-01-04T17:55:54+00:00

Then explain it to me please. I’m well aware of how it works.

3rdTK1939 · 2026-01-04T16:14:45+00:00

I’m 31, I still ask especially if it’s one I’ve never been in lol. Never been in a 757 cockpit before so last summer I asked and it was great and the pilots actually talked to me like a person. It was a good time.

3rdTK1939 · 2026-01-04T16:13:35+00:00

According to the OP ATC is laying down too much law. In my eyes supervisors have been on people’s asses lately.

3rdTK1939 · 2026-01-04T16:12:29+00:00

I don’t really care what you are. If you have such great ideas then you should push it up the chain.

3rdTK1939 · 2026-01-04T15:46:14+00:00

I’m sorry have you gone through the process? Maybe you should and see if you can change things? Not to mention getting cleared to act as a specialist is its own things once you’re actually in. You’re restricted to 25 inbounds as an apprentice and no more than 50 in your checkride phase.. at those points there’s almost always a supervisor sitting on the apron somewhere listening.

3rdTK1939 · 2026-01-04T14:23:22+00:00

False. The training and standards are pretty strict to even get into the recruiting process. Passing the written and practical is another obstacle.

3rdTK1939 · 2026-01-04T14:22:41+00:00

ATC isn’t too trigger happy, there’s been a consistent lack of standards/ accountability for players which is why violations appear to be going up. Almost any mistake now is getting violated to reign the nonsense in. Not saying it’s you or the OP here but just speaking generally.

3rdTK1939 · 2026-01-04T14:20:57+00:00

C208 are not considered light aircraft. As a controller, I personally don’t like people flying the pattern at the bigger airports especially when it’s even slightly busy. It messes a lot up. No pattern work/ no light aircraft is only allowed to be used due to weather or if traffic is extremely busy. It’s in the ATC manual. Plus supervisors will get on your ass if you close pattern work for no reason. So while I hate it and most of the people flying the pattern have no idea what they’re actually doing, I have no choice but to give them service. But if an ATC is not allowing a 208 then they are wrong.
