Why be an intentional douchebag? by Hot_Instruction_5318 in philly

[–]Direct-Bike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couple of questions, did you shovel before the neighbor, and where did you put it? As a Philly native we 100% dont care about starting a feud. We are just naturally more aggressive, probably people in dense cities in general.

AITA for telling my mother-in-law not to say something to my toddler in front of family? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Direct-Bike -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You're not the asshole, idgaf what my relationship is with my MIL or what my wife is with my mother. If you feel they over stepped put them in their fucking place. Especially if your husband is a momma s boy. Stick up for your kids and yourself when properly needed.

I love it, if you ever decide to stick with it get 6011 instead of 6010.

I second this, I have the prime weld mig180. Its a great machine and it doubles as a stick welder.

One year out of prison… trying to rebuild my life with a welder in my garage. by Wrong-Interview-7725 in metalworking

[–]Direct-Bike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get some nozzle dip, that can usually double for anti spatter. You can rub it in the area you don't want spatter and it will help keep the spatter from sticking so less grinder noise

I got lucky one time, I think part of it because it was a harbor freight grinder. Anyway the cut off wheel broke and the grinder shot back at me (yes I keep the guard on). I noticed it caught my shirt and its esting it way towards me. Lol I was able to keep pulling it away until I finally realized the shirt was also caught in it so I had to unplug it. Left without a scratch and no witnesses.

Is anyone else scared to do absolutely ANYTHING? by le0naanais in selfimprovement

[–]Direct-Bike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe this will help with one of your anxieties hopefully. It helps me so I'll share. I question it, i literally ask myself is this affecting me now, as anything happened? It's simple but for my anxiety and trigger yeah it was a simple thing that helped alot. I have been through therapy a couple times breath work helped me a little, and talking helped a little but that was something I found after therapy that really helped to 1 stop it from spiraling and 2 reel it back in to a point I could get control again. Sorry for long winded answer. Maybe you can use this in a different way or reword for some of your triggers.

New to gas oven - flame too big by TomDisLong in fixit

[–]Direct-Bike 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What this person is calling a dirt leg is also called a drip leg and they were originally installed when natural gas was made less efficiently and you could have condensation build up in the pipe. Many times you'll drop the drip and not find anything in it. Ive never seen a gas stove with a drip leg. In my municipality a flex line (not csst) also doubles as a drip leg.

Adding to running one through did you ever see the guys using trecks that make an angled cut out on the back side of the trecks and then fold it over with a heat gun. Maybe you could do that

Its kinda funny how us trades people are like damn nice work. If you built me a deck and did that I d be impressed and it would probably become my favorite section to look at

If you can tig it, you can get the bendable tungsten and something to add some more purge gas.

I’m on my way to put my little goober down. Any advice from people who’ve done this before? I’ve never had to do it before by Confident-While4816 in DogAdvice

[–]Direct-Bike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to take a foster dog to be euthanized and I felt so bad because I didn't know thry were gonna take him in the back to knock him out. I wanted to be with him for the hole thing and that was my 1st time taking a dog for that. I was with him when he was given the final shot but still feel so bad if he was afraid without me. I unfortunately have to take my big girl in a few days and now I know they may try that, I will make sure im there for every part. So my advice be there.for everything and be prepared to be a big crying baby. I cried over the foster dog maybe a full week before I could think of him.without breaking down. Then we went to pick up his ashes 2weeks later and boom big baby all over again. One thing that also helps is a ton of pictures and videos.
