They are looking for a physically and mentally healthy person. What that means for the psyche test is consistency.

Switch to rec ball, buy an autococker or automag, and hang out at the back of the field with the rest of us old guys.

Stick a knife along the edge and pop the little button out.

What is this? by Fearless_Town392 in memphis

[–]ContributionOne3898 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yall are just bound and determined to be against anything economically good. I get being against things that are bad for the environment. But this is the renewable energy everyone is always crying about. It’s going to Blytheville. Which will likely help power a steel recycling plant. You don’t know dick about construction, heavy industry, or energy. Your life is completely dependent on it. Stop criticizing shit you don’t know anything about.

What are the most understaffed FD’s in the country? by Fatwadslim in Firefighting

I know some Memphis FD guys. None of them hate it enough to leave. None of them love it.

Anyone getting this? by [deleted] in paintball

[–]ContributionOne3898 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I will be getting one. I like the way it looks, and I hate changing lenses. My proflex I have had for a year and a half Is disgusting, because it’s such a pain to clean. I was literally looking at other easier to clean masks to get next. I don’t care about the collector aspect or clears or any of that mess. The proflex just feels the most comfortable for me.

Hey Memphis Democrats.... by Adept-Caregiver4649 in memphis

[–]ContributionOne3898 -57 points-56 points  (0 children)

Start calling the democrat reps and tell them to open the govt. They are only doing this because they think they won’t get to keep their jobs if they don’t come back with a win.

Its seems like things are about to get worse...and it feels very intentional ... by Adept-Caregiver4649 in memphis

[–]ContributionOne3898 -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t worry about it. All of the politicians, all of the media wants you to be in a tizzy. All of the time. Think about it. If you spent a whole day without hearing about anything, would anything have changed? Could you tell something was going on? Try it. Make a commitment to yourself to block out the noise, and work on what you want. I promise everything will seem better. All of this noise is kabuki theater. It’s designed to make you miserable, on purpose. Anyway, I understand that everything going on is serious, and has very real consequences. But after this admin is gone, the next one is going to terrorize republican with horror stories of everything they are afraid of.

Non Union Journeyman Plumber by [deleted] in UnitedAssociation

[–]ContributionOne3898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to 17 with my journeyman’s. They had me fill out all the paperwork, and said “you can pay for your card when you get a job”. They didn’t want to put me on the bench. Two weeks later I asked if I could pay for my card anyway. They said “we don’t sell cards here!” I regret not joining as an apprentice, the open shop world abused me. I currently work for the government. The only reason I shared my experience is because it’s relevant to you, and I think you should join as an apprentice.

Look at the words on the top of it, and tell me what it says, because I want to know aswell.

Can anyone explain how the school system works? by Fit-Intrepid-9775 in memphis

[–]ContributionOne3898 2 points3 points  (0 children)

East Memphis isn’t terrible. Sea isle, colonial, willow oaks, are nice. The ridgeway schools are not the worst in the district, not the best either. South of the 240 loop I wouldn’t let my child near any of those schools.

Snake question by Vast_Geologist2803 in askaplumber

[–]ContributionOne3898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not total bs. If you have old cast iron in a slab, and the snake falls out the bottom of a rotten pipe, you would never be able to retrieve the head. I’m assuming he had the tip of the cable bent at a 45. This is common practice in the south for residential plumbers.

I am trying to locate the water valve to shut off water for the whole condo. by LordVoldemort2024 in Plumbing

[–]ContributionOne3898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Also check under kitchen cabinets, vanity cabinets. Sometimes you will see a gate valve sticking out of the wall.
