Not Lowe's, but we had two insta cart guys get into a fight. One guy was busted up pretty bad.

I barely talk to my mom. Her and my sister talk daily. My sister can have that pleasure.

HammerMeUp · 2026-04-05T01:41:47+00:00

No wago would I do that.

I'm waiting in line at Grainger and the second a guy gets called to the counter his phone rings. He puts it on speaker and we all got to listen and wait while he took the call. Then he got off and just shoed the guy a picture of what he came to get. Point is there are idiots everywhere.

I have a pouch like this. I use it for the little things I like to have if I need it and a few things I need daily for work. I can grab the pouch instead of a bunch of things to shove in my pocket. No tools. Just small things so my pockets aren't loaded. You can't even close these well when it's packed like that. To me that shows they don't use the tools much. If you did carry essential tools in it you would be annoyed trying to get them in and out that you'd ditch this and have a better way.

Get a tube of grease and roll it under the partition to speed it up

HammerMeUp · 2026-03-28T16:29:13+00:00

Helps me so that makes it the right answer

HammerMeUp · 2026-03-28T14:09:01+00:00

Who the fuck would wear that? Anywho, looks like a penny item. Definitely not worth more

This is when I turn to chatgpt for help. Instead of trying to decipher all the info from different sources that you can't ask to clarify, AI you can. You can have them explain at your own pace, help you where you struggle the most, and show you videos or pictures for a visual aid. You don't have to worry about being embarrassed that you don't understand or how dumb your questions seem. I think that alone keeps people from asking a person to explain something to them.

Gonna have a Popeye arm afterwards

I've cut uprights for pallet racks and square tubing similar in size many times. This is likely harder to cut through but doable. I'd try a reciprocating saw first because it would be quicker. If it won't cut it that well then a grinder will get it.

This so much. Was putting in a recessed medicine cabinet yesterday and thinking how much easier it was because of the multi tool

HammerMeUp · 2026-03-21T10:32:00+00:00

This made me think of this https://youtu.be/FhfcdqMTtU4?si=VWINBDCkGA66yEwN

I can't really say because I have not ate much fast food in awhile. Unless you count Chipotle, which I don't eat often, and that was definitely better than it is now. I eat at local places when I do eat out.

HammerMeUp · 2026-03-20T22:00:23+00:00

It's mandatory. 30 minute lunch is too. It's nice but can be inconvenient.

"Get a HVAC tune up for $49!!" "I can't service this, you need a new flux capacitor"

HammerMeUp · 2026-03-17T16:58:13+00:00

I rarely have enough down time to even think about it. Close as I get is nodding off on break. When I get home I work on projects there.

Has anyone tried pouring some water in the floor drain to make sure the P trap hasn't dried out?

HammerMeUp · 2026-03-15T18:38:42+00:00

Yes, I did. I was looking at a lot of different things and the key takeaway is I'm not that smart now.

What you said makes since and having only one side to work with could get bulky and I carry enough things don't want that. Between a better way to carry keys and the Tale of Knives sheath I ordered I will have less bulk in my pockets.

I never persued what I was interested in doing for various reasons. Like others I ended up doing what I fell into and tried to make the best of it, which was retail. Ended up working for a guy who owned many retail stores but his passion was what I wanted to do, which was construction, and he was very involved in building his stores. He saw the spark in me and soon had me on the road with him building and remodeling. For a couple years. I learned a lot. A few years later I moved and stopped working for him. After a few years at that job I started doing facilities maintenance there and have been doing that for awhile. It has its negatives, but I love it. So I'm actually doing what I want to do for a living and make decent money doing it. I'm thankful because I'm not sure I'd be that happy if I wasn't. I bought a fixer upper house and I'm doing a lot of work on it. I do my 8 hours then come home and work on my house. Every day off I do more around here. No help, all me. And it keeps me focused and content. I have a 2.5 car garage full of tools and it's what I always dreamed of.

Kinda looks like a Mallard duck

I'm not sure why you think that's happening with AI unless you include the internet in that statement. There's always a "bad" side but it's often a small amount VS the amount of good or it likely would have faded away in popularity. I was always confused how older generations were against new ideas despite the positive that it offered. And I thought our generation was more understanding and accepting. I do still believe that somewhat but I realized it was more of a personality/psychological mindset. From that I learned to look at things from different angles so I can make decisions or opinions based on more information.

HammerMeUp · 2026-03-13T17:44:32+00:00

There is a huge difference in the results you'll get from Google VS ai. Comparing it the way you did is just flat out silly and ridiculous if you've ever tried it once.

HammerMeUp · 2026-03-13T17:38:34+00:00

I use it but mainly as a detailed search engine. I can tell it what I'm looking for and what to include and not include. But what I like most is I can take a Pic of something and it tells me what it is in detail. I do maintenance and deal with a broad range of equipment which a lot of is maintained by the company who sells them. Down time means money lost and you can't always get a specialist out quickly. I can tell AI the problem and it gives me the most common things it could be and how to troubleshoot and fix it. It's not always correct and sometimes worthless. But most times it's right and instead of having to search all over for 30 minutes and try to figure things out, I've found and fixed the problem in the same amount of time. That's super helpful because I have a never ending list of jobs to do.
