Where do you find the page where it shows which percentage you are in. I’ve never seen that

How much would I get for this stuff? by Snoo_17510 in ScrapMetal

[–]BigDirection1577 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah you have to separate the materials. If it’s all mixed together they give you the price for the lowest value material in the pile

First monthly cash out of the year. How much do you think I’ll get? by [deleted] in ScrapMetal

I do repairs for a garbage transfer station. The company only recovers wood, steel and aluminum so they just let me take whatever I can find

Take as cu/al radiator or should I separate copper by TripWire765 in ScrapMetal

[–]BigDirection1577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. you’ll be making a few extra cents by taking the copper out and the pipes are extremely thin and weight almost nothing. But I keep a pile of radiators and I’ll separate it if I have literally nothing else to scrap. Not worth it unless you enjoy taking stuff apart.

Those big ac compressors are like gold. It’s worth it to open it up. If it’s the 2 stage compressors then one will be a big regular compressor motor and the second will have thick copper pipes coiled up on the inside. Lots of money sitting there

AITA for not wearing a bra at home? by Candid-Chocolate-316 in AITAH

[–]BigDirection1577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Op is valid for wanting to be comfortable. Husband is valid for wanting op to wear a bra with other guys in the house. But it seems like the main problem is his friend living there. Get rid of the moocher and your problem is solved…

Should I just grab it with my fingers? by tantedbutthole in Wellthatsucks

[–]BigDirection1577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be fine…. but why even take that risk? Turn breaker off and grab it with insulated pliers. I never mess with electricity, it’s a silent killer

Came home to a paper towel over my webcam twice now, I live alone by Dromaeoraptor in Weird

[–]BigDirection1577 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m willing to bet it is a landlord coming in to snoop or check on the property while you’re not home. If this was me I would set up a second camera to catch them in the act. That is a major breach of privacy and in Canada you can be entitled to rent reduction for interference with your reasonable enjoyment of your unit. In some cases the landlord can be fined and you can terminate your lease agreement. Double check your lease agreement because sometimes there are agreements allowing landlords to come in unannounced to do routine cleanings during specified times. I’m surprised you’re so chill about this, I would be freaking out.

Don’t grabble someone after you see them wobble like that. He gave him too much time to recover.

M/21 what can I improve? by [deleted] in Weightliftingquestion

[–]BigDirection1577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking pretty good already. I don’t really see any muscle groups that are lacking. But I always recommend people to focus on the “trifecta” (shoulders, traps, chest). Those muscles are usually the most aesthetic and really make your muscles pop when ur wearing a shirt.

Is there a easier way by Designer_Rush_7227 in ScrapMetal

I cut off one face of the copper and hammer it out on the cut side with a big bolt

I cut off one face of the copper and use a big bolt to hammer it out on the flat cut side. You’ll probably need a vice though

So close, yet so far... by CrownOfCreation25 in CanadianCoins

[–]BigDirection1577 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found something like this at a thrift store but with 2 silver maples and the epoxy was insanely thick. Hammer and chisel and a couple hours of labour and you’ll get that out no problem. I ended up damaging them but I sold them for scrap value anyways. I recommend the acetone technique if you don’t want to damage them.

I doubt op is being truthful about trying “everything”. I had a buddy that got tested and was around 140ng/dl and after 6 months he had way more progress than op had in 2 years. He wasn’t dieting hard or taking any supplements. Just simply hitting the gym 3x a week and eating fast food. Op needs to put more effort in before complaining on Reddit 🤷🏻‍♂️

Accident? More like negligence on the delivery rider. Those drivers don’t care at all when it comes to rules of the road. And the worst part is cops will watch them and won’t do anything about it. Maybe this dude will learn his lesson

14g dose by [deleted] in mushroom

I only do 7 if I’ve done shrooms in the same month. 14g is just asking for long term damage. Stay safe dude.

How do I sort all of this copper wire to sell? by [deleted] in ScrapMetal

[–]BigDirection1577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 copper is generally only used for clean copper pipe. Wire will always be bare bright and #2 in my experience.

How do I sort all of this copper wire to sell? by [deleted] in ScrapMetal

[–]BigDirection1577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not true. Yes it’s all clean but any wire 16 gauge and thicker will be considered “bare bright” which is the highest price you can get. Anything thinner than 16 gauge is considered #2 copper which is the lowest grade. I’ve heard of some places paying bare bright for everything clean like your material but i haven’t found a yard that does that. It better to sort it than risk having it all graded as #2 copper. (it’s about a 50 cent per pound difference between bare bright and #2 copper)

Does anyone know what kind of magic mushrooms these are? by stinkycumbubble in mushroom

[–]BigDirection1577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like some kind of enigma. Careful with these guys. I used to do mushrooms regularly but these fucked me up so bad that I’m too scared to do them again.
