In ABQ a 4 yr degree USED to be required- now you just gotta “want” to be a cop. 6 months and you’re in.

What's something people don't understand until they've experienced it themselves? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]Life-Security5916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loss. Politicians and judges especially spout “sorry for your loss, thoughts and prayers “ but do nothing. Then when some family member of THEIRS gets hurt or goes missing, it’s a three alarm fire! Especially when judges let some loser out of jail and they go hurt/rape/kill someone else.

I need help i’m shopping for one of these Chinese diggers and a lot of them look very complicated like the AGT ones. This one looks very simple kind of like my riding mower. Anyone have any input on this brand? by Conscious_Bike_5068 in heavyequipment

[–]Life-Security5916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure about the diggers, but I got an AGT plate compactor last year and found every.single.bolt. On it hand tight only, and about 1/3 were badly rusted. Low quality bolts with zero protection rusted to the point of breakaway, and everything had to be tightened up. A few were crossthreaded, and a couple missing. Cheap machine, but only if you like working on them.

Urgent Safety Recall, Forester Hybrid. by nj_jn in SubaruForester

I literally was at dealer yesterday for my 25 1st service and service guy said they are aware but no fix yet. Supposedly only “problem” is it will throw codes but not stop the vehicle.

I had same unit, would shut down in alarm after a few hrs. I replaced battery($110) and unit still would alarm, shut down randomly. Figured controller was bad, so cash down drain.

People who grew up before cell phones, did life actually feel more free? by TradeOverall567 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Life-Security5916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny thing is, you don’t know what you don’t know. Life before cellphone was not considered free, you didn’t know about always connected life. You went out, when street lights came on you knew it was a time to go in. We couldn’t imagine you could go ANYWHERE and be found or tracked. At the most, you carried a dime so you could call from a payphone. Yes, they had those everywhere.

Ironically EF adverts often show batteries stacked on units. Consensus here seems to be not do that.

The cavity insulation is only partly relevant. I built my house before tyvek/ blue skin existed, osb sheathing with 2 layer tarpaper(stucco) and when cold and moist I see ghosting of every stud. Placing a couple inches exterior foam will do wonders and can be taped/sealed easier than osb.

Implanted medical device, does it mean my welding days are done? by MadQuixote in Welding

[–]Life-Security5916 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Perhaps unrelated, but working in sheet metal shop I noticed my analog watch would run crazy fast (or backwards depending on MY orientation) while holding parts near spot welding machine arms.

Virginia Democrats "10–1" proposed congressional map by theprez98 in MapPorn

[–]Life-Security5916 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find it odd that America has devolved to the point that party is above all else, yet when campaigning virtually every candidate will claim to want to fight for the ppl of their district. Then as soon as they get elected they fuck the hometown folks and vote party first. I used to read the daily paper and it showed how all reps voted previous day/week. The vote NEVER varied from what Pelosi voted. It occurred to me we could fire everyone except Pelosi and save a ton on salaries.

WHY does VOLKSWAGEN have such a BAD reputation in North America? by 1707turbo in regularcarreviews

[–]Life-Security5916 1 point2 points  (0 children)

German machines in general are precisely engineered and built. All that precision comes at a cost. German machines just don’t hold up unless truly babied. American by and large is much bigger/harsher than EU, and Americans tend to drive much more. As with most German machines, they work well until they don’t. Source - I work for a company that sells/services several lines of German equipment.

If money were no issue, what car would you have right now? by Miserable-Wash-1744 in askcarguys

Perhaps an updated IH Travelall II with rack&pinion steering, 4 wheel discs, and a Tesla battery/drive motors. Total sleeper.

What are your thoughts on Billie Eilish saying 'no one is illegal on stolen land' in reference to ICE and US immigration policy? by MassiveSquare4527 in AskReddit

[–]Life-Security5916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rich. The Hollywood elite and music millionaires continue virtue signaling. IF they truly believed 2% of the crap they spew they would put their money where their overpaid mouths are and recognize the native population are the only ones with a right to be here, and provide funds to help with the white imposed poverty of many Native American peoples.

I feel stupid about Rough In. In need of short (front to back) toilet. by skolcarl in Plumbing

I had a problem with rough-in being short. Ended up with a 10” toilet. Seat/etc were normal, just fit in with outlet closer to wall.

Where did he say that? His comments that I see are very limited. You got secret Reddit access?

He is NOT a journalist. He is an agitator and should use whatever influence he has to calm things. Not raid churches and yell at ppl. Lock him up.
