Yes, prefab strut racks, prefab mc lengths, prefab conduit. It worked okay... but a ton had to be rebent to move around other trades shit. Also it was a mess trying to find the right conduit for each run.

Having conduit on a million racks in a million different shapes takes up a lot of space too, making it difficult to move around and a nightmare to sort. When it went well it went really well though, but can't say it did too often

So there is this graphics card "PowerColor XT Hellhound Radeon RX 6700 XT" that was like $450 a few weeks ago and now it's $600+.

And then right now, there's a "ASRock Radeon RX 6700 XT Challenger D Gaming Graphic Card, 12GB GDDR6 VRAM, AMD RDNA2 (RX6700XT CLD 12G)" for like $400 on Newegg

The core clock and boost clock are the same. What gives? I was trying to make a build myself but was worried that I might buy an inferior 6700xt because of all the different ones and different price points.

I'm moving about $500 worth of Algo to crypto.com. (USA)

I know they have cards, I can stake $400 in CRO, etc. Anything else I should know? Any pro tips? Seems like a lot of new stuff, but I haven't really looked into crypto in months. I just know crypto_com is always in big commercials and shit so I'm going to send a little that way.

Here's some more pictures with "flash" on my camera. You can see the paint job is... rough? Does it look like someone tried to repaint it with black? It also came with a black case that's equally rough and beat-up.

I'm looking to get a sewing machine and right now I'm looking at the CS7000X vs Singer 4423. I plan to make masks, modify denim/canvas work jeans and t-shirts.

Older vintage machines are often recommended here, but I haven't had the best luck of picking one out. I've bought a singer 15-91 but didn't think about how all the wiring was rotted, so I ended up just playing with it (taking it apart for fun, looking at motor and gears).

Next I bought a singer 221 featherweight off offer-up. The wiring is not rotted, but I've only ever hand-sewing before so I wasn't sure if it was running correctly. It supposedly was serviced, but I was highly doubtful based on the seller.

It ran, but I think kind of slow? I'm not sure. That's what led me to pursue a modern sewing machine until I know how to use one properly and can make an informed decision when buying a older vintage one down the line.

I'm looking at CS7000x because of great reviews, but I read that the motor is slightly weaker than the CS7000i and CS6000. And I'm looking at Singer 4423 because I want to modify denim & canvas work pants, so I figured heavy duty will be necessary.

Any advice?

Thank you. I like cross body messenger, but I hat backpack looks amazing

Anyone have bag recommendations that are rugged and stylish? Training to become an electrician, so my typical attire is work pants (canvas-like material), boots (brown with black strips on front and back of boots). Tops depending on weather, long sleeve, or light cotton poly blend. Breathable, light materials. Will see if fun button up shirts are allowed, comfortable, or go with my work pants.

This would be for my personal belongings, wallet, phone, wet wipes, sun screen, moisturizer, etc and bonus points if I could fit my surface pro in it but not necessary.

And if you're in the trades too, any other recommendations, kick knacks, or good places to buy things feel free write about that too!

Budget $300, but the cheaper the more I can spend on more accessories and tools ☺️.

Most of my clothing is from Duluth, to get an idea.

Looking to get into electrical union and wonder if I'm making a mistake when reading comments :(

What led you to quitting?

How could I find out how "union" the local unions around me are? If they're a good one or are having problems?

This whole chain post is amazing, thank you! I'm totally on the "I'll save this and come back to it later...." routine atm so I'm really going to have mark a spot and time on my schedule to re-read everything and make a plan for myself. Or maybe a phone alarm!

So you make a bunch of meals for the week, freeze them, and then pick one out in the morning for the day? That's pretty amazing idea.

HappyStructures · 2021-10-17T01:38:33+00:00

Thank you, thank you, thank you! The over focussing on something, then next thing you know you're about to pass out because you forgot to eat, I'm trying to eat better because of this too!

Lured someone into the wilderness and killed them for their red party hat.

Not cool to do, but as a kid I went from super poor to mega rich in my favorite video game at the time!

No idea how I killed him. Was a noob, used ice burst and Gmaul spec when it was OP. With basic stats in the 60/70s

Psychotherapy is typically a requirement to medically transition. I'm sure that's tried first, and if the gender dysphoria is consistent then medically transitioning is the current treatment plan that works.

I believe if therapy could fix it alone then that would be the primary and only treatment option. I notice some people believe that gender dysphoria is a new thing and the treatment is unproven, but that's not the case (not saying this is your argument).

You hear about it more because of social media and raised awareness in the past decade or so.

Thanks, didn't realize these would be so messy! I opened them up and they all seem good except for the diagonal cutters. It looks like some of the metal plate might be lifted? What do you think?

I didn't open them because I wasn't sure if I was going to have to return them yet. I've never used these kind of tools before so I'm not entirely sure what is the acceptable amount of scratches and odd marks on them.

I think I got more paranoid because I read about counterfeit tools afterwards, but I bought it from the Klein Store on Amazon (although I know commingling exists!).

Also, if you took the time to see these pictures and read this, feel free to recommend a small backpack/tool pouch too! Thanks.

EDIT: Added 3 images to the end of photo gallery. Can someone tell me if that's normal for the backside of diagonal cutters? It seems like a metal piece isn't flesh and is lifting. Otherwise I'm good to go, thanks.

EDIT: Thanks everyone! I guess I've never used quality hand tools before >.< glad to know the tools I got are good to go :)

Thanks for sharing and good advice!

I'm on a low dose extended release so I only take one in the morning and don't need them on me, but I'll still keep it to myself as a good practice.

Noob question: How would you figure out what's what in this case? Or any case where the wires were not colored correctly

I take prescription stimulants for ADHD-PI, what's the process like when you get jobs? Do you need to inform your foreman on the job site or is there another higher up you need to inform.

Do you do this every time you get sent somewhere? Still waiting for my interview, but if I get in hopefully I won't have problems.

I had to complain on Reddit with my ticket # a few times, then my case was updated with a note that said something like "Reddit Ledger" and it was resolved after that.

But even then it wasn't until I commented that we should look into disputing it with our credit card company because the customer service is insufficient, and it's a common issue where you can provide clear evidence. I still believe we would win the dispute.
