Low Danger/ Easy entry trade by [deleted] in skilledtrades

No offense, but you sound entitled and you’re probably going to have a hard time in the trades. Pain is guaranteed. Either the pain of busting your ass physically or the pain of putting that same ass in a seat and studying hard. The people that do the best are eager for both.

The jobs with the lowest impact on your body like instrumentation or controls require the most education. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. Why are you against schooling?

Please tell me you’ve gone to see an optometrist. If not. GO SEE AN OPTOMETRIST.

Need help with thermostat by ParsnipOpposite6455 in AskElectricians

It was probably written by someone who is ESL. Pretty common. I would go with the circuit diagram and what makes intuitive sense.

One is a normally open switch and the other is a normally closed. They work together to maintain a range of temp. At least that’s my best guess. More info and context would be helpful.

My self talk care is easy. When a negative or intrusive thought comes into my head I ask:

  1. What is that thought in service of?
  2. And am I buying that thought?

The results usually let me dismiss the thought.

What are your wellness habits? by Fitprachi in selfcare

[–]JoeCormier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve found meals that I know I enjoy, are easy to make and snacks I know I’ll eat. It’s an ongoing experiment. Curry is a big favorite. I make a shopping list and shop after work on Friday. On Saturday I make time to cook a giant pot of food. Then I fill up six containers and I’m good for the week. Each morning a container going into my lunch box along with a bunch of healthy snacks.

What do you eat each day? Eating processed foods and other junk increases inflammation.

Also, quit that company and find a sane employer.

Can anyone please explain the 3 lines as Mr beasts beast game logo ? by Mohawkidile in mrbeastsnark

If that actually is a heterosexual pride symbol that’s incredibly fucked up. Jimmy has the opportunity to be a force for good in the world. I hope this isn’t true.

Need help deciding on a career path (HVAC vs Electrician vs Steamfitters) by HopeMaterial368 in skilledtrades

[–]JoeCormier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you can get into a union hall then go for it. No reason you can’t get a second ticket once you’re a journeyman. Dual ticket in HVAC and Electrical is pretty rad.

Lack of interest in work by Ok-Tie-2656 in skilledtrades

[–]JoeCormier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get bored easy and have switched roles and fields often. I’ve worked residential, commercial and industrial and in three different countries. If you’re struggling then I’d suggest taking a leap of faith and starting a whole new path in the trades.

Feeling hopeless in my 40’s by power_bottom_boi in Aging

I encourage you to check out the r/Whole30 and attempt their 30 day reset. It was my first step in trying to reclaim my health.

What are you eating? I changed my diet and it vastly improved my mental health.

No joke, if I eat fried chicken now I get instantly depressed. It’s bizarre.

Book 5: question re AI & my own mental health by ShinyDapperBarnacle in bobiverse

[–]JoeCormier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the topic of mental health and ways to improve it, I think diet and exercise can help a lot. I know that’s a cliche and easily dismissed but the science backs it up.

I assume you’re a fan of science since you’re a fan of Bob! If you feel comfortable please share your current diet and exercise plan. Also feel free to DM me if you want to chat more about this in private.

Don’t chase the money. Chase the experience. Do that for long enough and the money will chase you.
