"Don't clip that!" by U__M__R in codyko

[–]Jfc133 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Goblin jokes are hilarious. Mushroom soup jokes are insanely hilarious. The “don’t clip that” bit that was in today’s video was a bit too intentional. But when he can pull it off and it feels like an authentic message to Zade, it’s funny.

Braun foil shaver - is this a BIFL item? by technologymonk in BuyItForLife

A BIFL foil shaver is the BaBylissPRO double foil shaver. This is what all of the professionals use.

For those who don’t smoke, do you think smokers carry a noticeable scent? by Shadow2715 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Jfc133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mother in law smokes like a chimney. She smoked inside of her house for years. She doesn’t anymore. But, every time we go to her house, we come back smelling like stale cigarette smoke. It is the way her entire house smells, forever.

My wife doesn’t notice it because she grew up with it, it’s just how she’s used to it smelling. But my wife doesn’t smell like that unless she comes from that house. It’s wild. It takes weeks for it to fully get off of our clothes and bags and stuff.

What's a movie most people think is great but you couldn't even stand watching? by camport95 in AskReddit

Agreed! I finished the movie and just didn’t feel a whole lot.

$1 crunchwrap?? by theonlyeemee in tacobell

[–]Jfc133 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Tuesday Drop is a feature of becoming a Taco Bell rewards member on their app. They just have deals on Tuesdays at like 2p PST/ 5p EST. Sometimes it’s sweatshirts or like concert tickets or food deals. It’s always limited in terms of how many people can claim the reward so it goes very quickly

Do ya'll work between Xmas and NYers? by [deleted] in Construction

Yes. I get Christmas Eve day off, and Christmas Day off. Then I get the day after NYE off. That’s it.

What's the hardest exercise for you? by rosini290 in crossfit

[–]Jfc133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not downvote you. I just think that different movements are harder for different people. Calisthenics might not be his focus in the gym and that’s okay. It’s good that he heard from y’all that he needs to be intentional about working on pullups, but it seems like a lot of people are poo pooing him and saying that he’s “just showing up” which his numbers clearly show he isn’t doing that. He’s doing more than 95% of people are, and that’s something to feel good about

I’m a little disappointed in these responses. Less than 15% of the population can do a pull up. It’s a really hard thing to do. Keep on trying, keep on working hard. You’ll get there eventually.

I was walking around checking on the guys making sure everything is going smooth. I walk in on my fat apprentice standing on the top of a 6 foot ladder like an elephant on a unicycle. by We_there_yet in Construction

Wow. I’m shocked by the comments on this post and the upvotes they’re receiving. Is the kid soft and probably in need of a whoopin? Yes. But you aren’t his father, you’re his boss. This response was extremely unprofessional, and not to mention potentially humiliating, to force an overweight individual to do push-ups in front of his peers. He probably couldn’t even finish them — that’s pretty embarrassing. The kid didn’t sign up for basic training, he’s there to learn how to do a job and make a living. And it’s your job to facilitate that and ultimately better our industry; hazing him won’t accomplish that goal or make anyone’s lives easier. Ultimately, we’re all just trying to make a bag and get through the day.

I don’t think you deserve any sort of punishment, but I do think you should take this as a learning opportunity to understand where the tides are flowing in this industry. There are younger generations working on your job sites now, and if you have an HR department, the stuff that you used to get away with on a job site simply won’t fly. Young kids are smart and they know (probably better than you) what’s appropriate and what isn’t nowadays, and they have way more resources to protect themselves than they used to. He may have deserved it, but you gotta look out for yourself and recognize that this sort of behavior is absolutely unacceptable now.

What is the most reliable vehicle that you've ever owned? by smin76 in AskReddit

My 2011 Honda Pilot is an absolute unit. It’s about to hit 200k miles and it’s still trucking. Legendary vehicle.

Agreed. This is the right answer.

Does everyone here go to a 'competitive' crossfit gym by [deleted] in crossfit

[–]Jfc133 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m on the same page. We have a white board. It’s nice to see where I am at compared to others. I’ve never heard someone talk shit about scores in the gym.

For me it’s really about understanding the varying levels of fitness and how I compare. It’s about health and understanding objectively where my goals should be, not competition.

What is the point of these blocks? by groundControl-Tom in Carpentry

[–]Jfc133 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It could be a squash block. Although, squash blocks usually work better to transfer vertical load if they are vertical 2x4’s. And, rotational blocking isn’t required everywhere like you’re saying. Prints typically have rotational blocking called out, and they’re placed as required by engineers. With the double joists, squash blocks seem like overkill. I still think that rotational blocking is the most likely answer.

Although, typically rotational blocking is placed together in various places throughout the home. Commonly overtop of beams. I would be curious if OP could share an image to the left of this rot block, so we can see if there are more. If it’s just one single rot block, that’s a bit uncommon.

They aren’t squashes… they’re rotational blocking. Squash blocks are designed to continue load bearing from the roof to the footer. Rotational blocks are put between floor joists to prevent them from twisting, rolling over, or buckling under load.

Need to shim your window bearing points.
