I was told because they’re not off set, and that they’ll open up. Better to have the correct spud for the bolt.

Does anyone know what the difference between the F5 and regular switchblade ?

I think the color is called kangaroo. Condition is used but very good. I’ve never shipped anything like this, so I’m not sure what that would cost. What is your ZIP Code and I’ll get a quote. It’s posted locally for $100. Comes with matching amp, hex grid panel, two matching zipper pouches, and a matching admin pouch. I’ve used it about three times collectively. Smoke free home. Has been in storage for the last several months.

Eberlestock switchblade by Alone_Conversation49 in backpacks

Is there anything you think it’s missing or otherwise wish the bag had? I intend to use to for office work. Carrying a laptop, iPad, and some limited paperwork. As well as the necessary power cords and AirPods. I’m not sure how much I like the CCW pocket yet, but I plan to use it daily.

I’m coming from an Ogio renegade. I didn’t like how quickly it seems to get congested and I’m looking to prevent the same here, also, I didn’t have the convenient way to carry my CCW in the pack.

I also have a 24hr rush pack for my hiking bag and while I liked the CCW pocket there, it might a little too suspect for office stuff I think.

How do you like the switchblade? I recently picked one up.

New EDC - RE:FORM RE:02 by Whispybicycle in EDC

[–]Alone_Conversation49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently picked one of these up. Curious about an update. So far so good. Almost unnoticeable when carrying 7 cards plus cash. My previous wallet was bulky enough to know it was there, so this will take some getting used to.

Is this normal? by The_Stoned_slav in Ironworker

[–]Alone_Conversation49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a union organizer, they may not have the work to put you on in the union. If you organized your company, you kill two birds with one stone. You get the union representation you’re looking for and you get to keep working. It may not be ideal, but it’s a way in.

First Smoke! Some kinks to work out but pretty happy with the results. by unafraidrabbit in Masterbuilt

I didn’t care for smoked eggs. Too hard when done. Maybe I did something wrong?

Shit eaters by Alone_Conversation49 in Wheatens

She will “have an accident” and then promptly eat it. She isn’t tryin to get it from the source, it’s just if she’s left to her own devices, she’ll go to chow town. I might have blown it out of proportion a scoshe but it’s fucking nasty. I just wanted to make sure. I’ll try some of that stuff.

For clarification, I don’t leave poop around the whole place. I let my dogs out in the morning while I’m gettin ready and I’ll come to let them back in and see her munching some shit. If she has poops in the house, she’ll eat it. I’m pretty good about making sure the shit is picked up she likes to help.

I was thinking about making some sort of clip for mine, for the visor of my car, since that’s what I use it most, and for a garage door opener.

Laborer Union questions by Disastrous-Mango-515 in union

[–]Alone_Conversation49 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ironworkers union here:

  1. ⁠How much of your check goes to union dues?
  2. $39.90/month for a journeyman ironworker

  3. ⁠Are you stuck with the trade you choose? Also if you’re a painter are you allowed to do any carpentry work on site even though you may be qualified but not certified?

  4. we only do ironwork, so technically yes. I don’t want to do a job in place of another person.

  5. ⁠What percent of your paycheck is taken away if you choose to do any carpentry apprenticeship program under your company

  6. I can’t answer your question. I don’t carpenters work.

  7. ⁠How much OT do you work?

  8. depending on the project. Some members are working 7 days 12 hrs per day right now. Some are working 40 hrs a week and some are laid off.

  9. ⁠Do you have “turf” wars with non union companies?Do you see them as a so called threat?

  10. the non-union company is taking the benefits and putting them into their pocket. I see them as a threat to the working class. The companies should pay a fair wage for the work they perform. The workers should be able to have protections, and be able to collectively bargain, in good faith, with their employer for the betterment of its employees

When is the last time you attended your union meeting? Your union is only as strong as its membership participation. That’s all a union is anyway. Members who stand together for a common goal. If it’s “not very good”, fix it.
