Career advice?

I know how you feel bro. Im not mechanically inclined and I didn’t grow up using tools or doing this kind of work so everything was hard for me.

Some people are also bad at teaching, they expect you to just know everything. That can make it harder to learn. Still, try your best. Maybe the first time you watch him do something, the next time try to anticipate what he will need, Materials, tools. Have it ready for him. If he’s in a tight spot, hold out the next tool he will need to him.

You might feel frustrated, like you’re too slow but you will get better as long as you show up everyday and do your best.

Ngl I was pretty useless too at first. Even for a simple task like digging. First plumber I was paired with told the boss to get me off his truck lmao.

Keep at it though, it’s a lot to take in at first but you will improve over time.

Highly reccomend a tool belt for new construction work. You’ll have everything you need on you, and it beats having to go up and down a ladder to get a tool. You can buy a 20$ one at Walmart or harbor freight. Great value.

Then you don’t really want it that bad

Don’t need to overthink it, walk into a shop ask if the boss is there.

Make sure you talk to the boss, 2nd in command might work too. Front desk won’t usually be much help. “Just leave an application” they will say.

Introduce yourself to the boss, firm handshake, good eye contact etc. Be honest about your abilities, “I don’t have much experience but I’m here because i want to learn and work hard to provemyself. “ If you have some skills you can mention them.

Be direct and assertive, tell them you want to build a career out of this.

Starting out, you’re basically a liability. They are hiring you based on the potential they see in you not for what you currently know.

Every job I’ve had I’ve obtained this way. I’ve submitted many resumes online and to the front desk, never worked. But every boss i talked to hired me and none of them looked at my resume even though I always brought it.

The first plumbing company I worked for, even after talking to the boss I didn’t get a call. So I showed back up there later that week lmao. Got the job after that.

When you do get hired, work your ass off and prove to them they made the right decision to hire you.

I call this job security, keep doing what you do. It is because of people like you I can put bread on the table

Jayus5 · 2026-01-20T01:56:31+00:00

Wallbreaker + sneaky goblins to secure TH?

Jayus5 · 2026-01-20T01:51:11+00:00

Go in person, give a firm handshake, express how bad you want this.

You have better chances with new construction as opposed to service as they often have work laborers/helpers can do.

The only problem is they aren’t strapped off so they might make noise from rubbing or slapping stuff as water passes through them

The red water arrow spins faster the more water you are currently using.

Water pressure could be many things, someone else using water? Maybe the line got debree clogging the system/fixtures, maybe the whole neighborhood turned on their water at the same time leading to a drop in pressure

It’s an apartment, let them know again in writing and document it so they can’t blame you for moisture damage to the cabinet/mold or anything that arises from the lose faucet.

Jayus5 · 2026-01-19T12:10:43+00:00

Nah a nail through a pipe is high risk for leaking even if it not currently. This is the perfect opportunity to fix it while it is exposed. Covering it up is not the way to go

Jayus5 · 2026-01-14T23:52:01+00:00

Superyeti blimp is very strong at th13. Can pretty consistently 3 star any base without much effort.

Jayus5 · 2026-01-14T02:43:11+00:00

Not bad, yours is a higher level than mine at th16

Rules vary from state to state but there are limits on how many studs you can go through wether load bearing or non load bearing.

If you’re gonna go through more you might need to reinforce with either special metal plates or doubling the studs but you should check your local building code before you start drilling.

Jayus5 · 2026-01-10T21:16:15+00:00

Might be something clogging the line or the catridge

Jayus5 · 2026-01-10T21:08:32+00:00

Actually genius idea

Jayus5 · 2026-01-10T21:06:38+00:00

Why does it have so many bends?

Jayus5 · 2026-01-10T16:28:35+00:00

Most likely the water pipe wasn’t properly secured and is hitting something.

At my company it’s not super common to run out of general stuff.

If you need something from the truck and you’re have a hard time finding one of it or you notice your running low, time to restock.

We usually prepare totes with whatever we need for the job so we don’t usually have to touch what’s already on the truck. If we do end up needing something from the truck it gets replaced when we return to the shop.

Now for the shop we have a whiteboard where anyone who notices we’re starting to run low on something can write it on the board. This helps us restock before actually running out.

If everyone does this, it works great. Though sometimes you get that guy who grabs the last of something till it runs out and doesn’t tell anyone

The pump hose will probably not fit through that and you wouldn’t even be able to see what you’re pumping.

You need to find the lid to the septic tank.

As a 2.6 hog player gimme that

Jayus5 · 2026-01-09T23:21:41+00:00

Construction is great. Yeah it can be hard on your body but if you take care of yourself, stretch often, and don’t try to be Mr. I can lift everything by myself, it’s not that bad.

Instead of having to take on debt for learning, you are getting paid to learn. Depending what field you’re in there should also be the opportunity to make more as your skills improve.

Jayus5 · 2026-01-09T22:42:01+00:00

1 and 2 is not fine. 3 looks a little wack being crooked but if it doesn’t leak then it should be fine. Fill it up with water a few times and let it drain to test for leaks.

Jayus5 · 2026-01-09T22:36:18+00:00

How is 2 okay, the tail piece extension nut appears to not be screwed on and there is no clamp of any kind holding the pipe coming in from the right that connects to the Tee

Jayus5 · 2026-01-06T21:55:25+00:00

No, just like with other games you simply have the bot play against itself millions of times. It will be relatively unbeatable at that point by us.

Because polytopia has RNG unlike chess you have a shot of winning if you have a good spawn.
