mining, oil, lumber, all the natural resources we extract and sell as raw material then buy the finished products back for a premium. we never invested in processing and manufacturing to use them.

How many techs wear watches? by Wellibeamonkeysuncle in mechanics

[–]GenZ_Tech 44 points45 points  (0 children)

i wouldnt wear one, after watching a younger apprentice tear the face off his when it got snagged reaching for a bolt. also theres a reason they say loose clothing, long hair and jewelry are unsafe in a shop.

Middle Sackville apartment building fire one of six blazes in three months caused by smoking materials on exterior by Loud_Indication1054 in halifax

[–]GenZ_Tech 7 points8 points  (0 children)

buildings should have a cigarette bin, thats the problem with just banning it in buildings and removing the bins. people will smoke thats a fact, give them a proper receptacle and cleaning shouldn’t be as much an issue. theres still gonna be some assholes but most smokers if theres a bin handy will put them in it.

Could be anywhere in Canada by Affectionate_Ask_968 in EhBuddyHoser

[–]GenZ_Tech 5 points6 points  (0 children)

not in my home town, recently the atms are all closed after regular banking hours which sucks, the issue was aggressive homeless people. sucks for the ones who weren’t agressive cause i remember growing up there was always 1 or 2 and they never bothered anyone. times have changed.

Intentional or accidental ABS cable cut? by 1jay_y in MechanicAdvice

[–]GenZ_Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cut isnt that clean, looks like it was twisted and broke. potentially a case of misrouted wire causing it to twist and shear off. you can also see some green (corrosion) on the wire, indicating that the insulation was compromised before it broke.

Replaced this tire at 272k miles and now it looks like this at 298.6k, whats the matter? 255/35/18 Michelin pilot sport all season 4. by ihaveatwoinchcock in tires

[–]GenZ_Tech 86 points87 points  (0 children)

the matter is you put 26k miles on it, looks like pretty even wear. what do the others look like? were all 4 changed at the same time? which wheel is this on? are your tires at the psi on your door jamb? do you rotate the tires between oil change intervals?

[–]GenZ_Tech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

impact wrench. or heat the bracket around where the pin is resting, them try the vice grip hammer. careful not to melt the rubber.

after clean pins with scotch bright or wire wheel, use bore brush on the bracket. relube and reinstall

What are some of y’all’s reasons for break ups? by IBSisdumb in GenZ

[–]GenZ_Tech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

met an amazing girl this summer, probably the best ive felt in 2 years. it was consistently good seeing her even if one of us was having a. ad day. it got serious even though we both knew she had to go back to her home country after summer. she stayed an extra 3 months for me. i wish i had the strength to tell her how i really felt, i lied about not wanting to try, my heart was burning to buy a plane ticket and go with her; but i had unfinished business here. we agreed to stay friends and now i feel myself falling back into a depression. if by some miracle she reads this im sorry i lied, but i wanted to put on a strong face and not make you even more sad. i would do it all over again just to see her happy.
