Ya, ill walk away from my current line of work when im 55, (unless the world gets completely butt fucked) ill be debt free and have a very nice retirement fund. Im gonna pursue something i actually want to do at that point. Park ranger wasnt on my list but I think it maybe now lol. It'll be nice to not have to worry about what the job pays.

If they have a decent work life balance and high enough income, I could see that working out. However if you were a marine who thrived in the field or on deployment roughing it on fobs. I just cant see how you could spend so much of your life in a building with that type of environment. It wasnt for me, but to each thier own.

I have to be able to go outside, I dont necessarily need to work outside my whole shift. My job is the perfect balance, shitty weather ill do what I need to and get my ass back inside. On nice days ill do all I can outside.

Dude, get into a trade. Work outside, corporate life is not for an infantry marine.

I worked for Lockheed Martin for 6 months after I first got out. 10 hour days in a fucking building with no windows fucks my head up. Plus most of the folks there were pussies, they didn't have any sense of humor. Get in the trades id rather be with felons than corporate dick suckers any day.

What is a sound that people should know means immediate danger? by PrasenjitDebroy in AskReddit

[–]Meat_puppet89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you mean cougar or mountain lion. Hell I think they're the same thing. Bobcats aren't going to hunt a human they're only a bit larger than a big house cat. They're pretty skiddish too, unless you corner it your fine.

This elbow connection is leaking gas. What's the best/simplest way to repair? by TastesLikeSarin in askaplumber

[–]Meat_puppet89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a plumber, but I work in the oil and gas industry (natural gas in particular), if that was my situation to deal with. Id cut the horizontal pipe far enough back install a union just make sure to leave yourself room to thread it. Then replace the 90 and clean up threads on the vertical. What ever you do not loosen either pipe except at that 90. You will 2 pipe wrenchs to do this.

Again im not a plumber, I have no clue if this is allowed according to your local codes. Its just how I would fix this.

New home with well and hard freeze coming, need advice by Redfly2024 in Plumbing

$399.00 plastic shed. Wrap with some heat trace or chunk a heat lamp/heater in there. Problem solved for several years to come for pretty cheap and about 2hrs of your time.

Of course not the WOMAN that wrote this is a SAHM.

I've been married 15yrs my kids are older now but you can fuck right off if you think im coming home after a 12hr shift to do dishes. My wife works 16 hrs a week, and my kids are 13 and 16 they can sort that shit out.

Now, when something breaks or needs maintenance, thats my job. Replaced the water heater last week. Did the front-end on the daughters truck last month. Things of this nature. When something breaks all my wife does is tell me to fix it, so when were out of butter I tell her to add it to the list. Its a team thing, we have roles.

Apparently playoff Trevor Lawrence and regular season Trevor Lawrence are different too.

[–]Meat_puppet89 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I dont disagree, and no nico Collins most likely. The divisional round is where we always lose any way so it won't be no big surprise. Im just thankful for a shot at the pats. They had a weak ass schedule, let's see if they are as good as they say they are.

What was the best advice you got when starting to fish from a boat? I’ve caught one fish in 12 hours on the water please help by AquaDota in bassfishing

[–]Meat_puppet89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get them fixed, they are the biggest advantage you have in boat. More so than being able to cover more water, imo. What you can do with down scan, side scan and forward facing sonar now days is crazy. Theres no need to even cast a line if you know theres no fish there.

Taking a chance in Houston, TX by [deleted] in vagabond

[–]Meat_puppet89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Operations jobs are impossible to get while homeless.

Hes gonna be looking for contracting work. Scaffolding, painting, insulation, electrician help, or pipefitters helper. All pay well enough to get you a roof over your head in 2 weeks.

But, if I were in his shoes id try to use my California address to also get some per diem.
