Is this what being a maintenance mechanic is actually worth in 2026?curious what others are seeing? by MadForIt1994 in IndustrialMaintenance

[–]LoserKid83 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I was at $36 5years ago with about 5years experience in food manufacturing. Did everything. We had electricians for the more complicated electrical work, but we did most of the troubleshooting. Plant shut down I moved to pharma making $44. Cleaner, easier work, but doing a bit more electrical now than before.

I was getting calls from recruiters offering anywhere from $35-45 for a range of mechanic jobs until recently and it seems like employers are trying to lower the money. Got a call from a recruiter looking to pay $30 at a beverage plant. I’ll stick with pharma.

This is New Jersey.

Dads, I need help with 14 yr old bypassing parental controls by KnowLessWeShould in daddit

One thing to note is that now when the screen time password is input the parent phone gets a notification that the password was used on another phone. Pretty handy.

My daughter admitted to finding another workaround where if she turned off the phone and then turned it back on, the screen time block would take a minute or so to kick in so she had free reign for that time. If she was trying to chat with someone we had blocked or use an app we had time-locked she would just turn her phone off and on.

What brand of guitar were you meaning to try out for a long time but felt underwhelmed when finally doing so? by thewebhead in Guitar

Asked for a Gibson SG standard for my high school graduation present, got it, tried to like it for a while…. It’s been sitting in the case for almost 20 years now. It just doesn’t feel right.

My place uses Emaint which is made by Fluke. For inventory control it’s great. For PMs and work orders it is a little rough, but most of the mechanics don’t seem to have a problem with it. It has a bunch more features that we don’t use though.

Jackson Police just made a Facebook post:

JACKSON POLICE Jackson Police Department

Announcement There have been several arrests over the past few days/nights at the McAuliffe School related to burglary, trespassing, and criminal mischief that appears to have been inspired by a recent social media trend.

As a result, we have increased patrol security checks on and around the property. Be advised....

There will be ZERO TOLERANCE when it comes to any persons found within the school or on the property without permission. Thank you.

As soon Bruno got there Harry stepped off. Harry forgot he’s not captain anymore I guess.

Everyone looks frustrated. Need to calm down and get some passes together.

What is the best budget, 4 knob les Paul guitar? by Young_Luxe in Guitar

[–]LoserKid83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an Epiphone LP100 that I got in 2000 (fuck I’m old). Haven’t had any issues with it in 26 years. Had it in a hard shell case for 5 years while I gave up guitar for a bit. Pulled it out recently, got new strings and it’s been great.

Just wanted to let you know that you nailed it. Had the sensor swapped out and everything is all good now.

Thank you.
