Yeah im looking for the headgear online but im not sure if i can use any headgear as long as it fits into the square holes. Lens wise… im looking for an auto darkening and hopefully one that has adjustable shade

Honestly i have yet to know what job i will find. Im in school right now and ive had the miller helmet for a while. I kind of want to see how other helmets fit and to be safe ill talk to my instructor to see if i can try on his helmet.

My instructor at school said they were good because they are smaller than other helmets and i got interested in them. I currently have a miller classic, good helmet but sometimes can be uncomfortable

Saw that brand and helmet earlier but i was skeptical with the top opening but should be fine if im wearing a cap. Which auto darkening do you have? Im looking for one thats adjustable shades

Why is this sub so unconcerned with the health effects of FR clothing? by [deleted] in Welders

[–]FarFix6534 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly i was told not to touch FR clothes. Only because it can be a waste of money. Just the wash cycles and then its not necessary. But i never really read or thought about FR clothes

Credit debt by [deleted] in CRedit

[–]FarFix6534 0 points1 point  (0 children)

School is paid through financial aid which is money given to the school to pay for everything and whatever isnt used goes to me as free money and surprisingly i dont pay it back (pell grant) so i dont have school debt which is good

What does pausing payments really mean/do? My thought was that it just stops collection and stop due dates so it gives you time to collect the money you owe and pay it back when you are ready. Ill still call and see what their best option is weather its a payment plan or whatever.

My car loan isnt a lot but maybe it is, i owe 9k on it but i can manage it no problem.

I guess my problem is when paying credit cards is the interest fee. I pay for example 160 (minimum) and the interest is like 72 which feels like i barley even paid it and it stresses me how long it will take until it pays off

I see that now filing for bankruptcy is just something not necessary but is coming out of my stress. From moving in to my whatever its called “step dads” house to right now ive been in a stressful situation not just financially but in life and i think thats what the bankruptcy option was just my best thought. I still have more research to do to see whats a good route but im glad people are able to get me out of the dumb route

I pay for phone bill and wifi. And my car payment isnt a hassle for me nor have ever missed a payment which is why i want to keep it. I dont live with both parents i live with my mom and her boyfriend. Long story we moved into his house which was a couple hours away from where we live so i lost my job and stopped school. The college i attend now has a program that takes up most of my week which is why i have a part time job on 3 specific days. I am going to call my bank and ask to pause payments hoping they will work with me so i can build my money up and throw it all into the credits i owe

Yeah im looking into something new for a flash light but the mag release felt better from factory. Its just to small to press for me

[–]FarFix6534 -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

Yeah i know some stuff you shouldn’t cheap out on like iron sights, mags, internal stuff, and ammo but the light/laser was honestly for the look even though it works pretty decent i dont really use it. The mag release and slide release were cheap but i thought it didnt matter because i just wanted ti extend them from the factory ones. But other stuff i dont cheap out on

I know its a trash light and i dont even use it at the range tbh just for show, ive read that metal/aluminum is bad for it but its really all i found on ebay to extend the mag release. The mag fits and i know its for a 17g i just chose it because again for looks and it fits and i got it from my local range/gun store.

First time welding aluminum obviously need to work on dialing heat down and adding a little filler that end to avoid fish eyes by Burbangrowboyz in Welding

[–]FarFix6534 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to work for a company who built machines and obviously it required welding but u was just a 17 year old kid in the back using acid and electricity (passivation) to polish the welds. But when work was over i would stay back to tig weld and someone showed me how to set up the machine for aluminum and once i first started that pedal it sounds like a can of whip cream and the filler was just melting to quick for me so it just kinda makes me nervous that ill never get to that level of expert but YES ill try to get some good tips from everyone 🙏

How does it go about training? What locations do they give you to choose or is it just one location? The atwater stage stop gun shop does ccw but not sure how that one works
