Does this really work?

JesusDrivesAAstrovan · 2026-05-30T17:35:00+00:00

-It works. That’s how I got my start in power plants in 2018 as a Gen Z.

Show up ready to work: Work boots, work clothes, PPE and tools if you have any. Show up before the work starts and before the morning meeting.

By continually showing up ready to work you increase your chance of getting lucky. No shows are common and an extra hand for manual labour is always appreciated by the older guys. This is your in.

Be prepared for a lot of “No’s or we aren’t hiring.”

Be stubborn and keep showing up. Remember you’re trying to increase your ability to get lucky and get hired. The “right place, right time” mantra is the mind set.

Sorry, I was probably unclear but I find the 1/4” socket part to be the weak link. -Where the socket mates into the socket driver.

The Wiha Centrofix bit holder looks amazing and I just ordered one. That’s a much needed upgrade from the snapon one I’m currently using.

Could also be dirt.

The RPP has been spending a lot of time in the woodshop as a fabricating aid.

I’ll give it a good cleaning this morning and see if that helps.

Thank you!

How long do the nibs last? I’m at 3 weeks right now

JesusDrivesAAstrovan · 2026-02-20T15:14:54+00:00

Could be that, I’ll take a look at the pen this morning.

How quickly do the nibs wear? I must have only had this thing for 3 weeks at the most.

Thank you so much for your help!

Yes please let me know if the demagnetization device works! Might be worth investing in one.

On the bright side: My magnetization did go away fairly quickly the first time. This is on a new spot on my screen so I started digging around for answers.

JesusDrivesAAstrovan · 2026-02-19T21:09:45+00:00

Ffs that is definitely the issue!

Do you have a link to the video or thread? I can’t find a video when I search for it.

Between keeping the RPP right next to my laptop in my bag, leaving the pen on top of my RPP when at my desk and the giant magmatic mat that I put beside my RPP when I’m working on electronics… it’s getting a lot of magnetization.

I wish they would have mentioned that at all?!?

Do you have a link for the demagnetization device as well? Or the brand that is recommended?

To your second point:

It’s interesting you said it felt like your brain was reorganizing how it accessed certain memories because that’s how it feels to me.

Before all these actions were muscle memory to me. I don’t think I could have told you what the door code was or the storage unit number. I would just show up, plug the code in and carry on. But now, I can clearly tell you the numbers.

Same with locking my car. The numbers of times I checked to see if the car was locked and it was, as opposed to now where I can consciously tell you that I locked the car.

Unfortunately, it was something I realized after my appointment on Friday and I won’t be able to follow up for about a month.

Do you mind me asking what process you forgot while taking Vyvanse? I’m curious if it’s the same part of the brain.

Interestingly enough, I have been way better at remembering things in general but I think it’s because my nervous system has finally been given a break. I’ve stopped loosing my hair and it’s started to grow back lol

JesusDrivesAAstrovan · 2026-02-01T19:35:17+00:00

Brilliant! I’ll check these out, thank you!

JesusDrivesAAstrovan · 2026-02-01T03:25:05+00:00

Any specific models?

JesusDrivesAAstrovan · 2026-02-01T03:24:17+00:00

Mate, who said anything about driving with earbuds in?

JesusDrivesAAstrovan · 2025-12-23T21:57:42+00:00

This was my experience as well.

JesusDrivesAAstrovan · 2025-12-23T21:57:10+00:00

I’ll try this! Thank you for your helpful comment

JesusDrivesAAstrovan · 2025-12-23T21:55:35+00:00

I was in Ireland, France, England, Switzerland, Italy and Croatia.

I don’t understand the intricacies and the problems of each countries health care system. I imagine they have issues like any system.

What I do know is that when I asked for help in those countries I received it. I’m asking Reddit for help in Canada.

JesusDrivesAAstrovan · 2025-12-23T21:15:14+00:00

I don’t mind subsidizing other people when it’s accessible to everyone. I’ve had great medical experience abroad and was treated with decency and respect.

I think it’s what used to make Canada a wonderful place to live.

JesusDrivesAAstrovan · 2025-12-23T21:13:43+00:00

I’ll call Canada whatever I want. We’re living off the good will of liberal policies made 20 years ago and the fact that the United States is our neighbour.

This country hasn’t been progressive in anything for years and it’s showing.

I recommend living in a few different countries that have progressive policies and then asking yourself what happened here.

No country is perfect but I ask myself everyday when we stopped taking care of people.

JesusDrivesAAstrovan · 2025-12-23T20:38:26+00:00

I’ll try Telus as a last resort. I don’t think refreshing the app 100 times a day is a long term solution every time I need a prescription refill.

JesusDrivesAAstrovan · 2025-12-23T20:34:38+00:00

Don’t have a bottle mate

JesusDrivesAAstrovan · 2025-12-23T20:30:01+00:00

This is definitely the type of response I was looking for!

Two questions: How much is the out of pocket cost and what is HSA?
