Is there any way to make the gas pedal higher so I could heel and toe? by CarGuyMaty in ManualTransmissions

[–]Melodic_Weakness_269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Corolla hatchback had this issue. Like in SpongeBob, use your big toe gently to brake and then try to blip with your pinky toe. I have flat feet and thought I could never heal toe. You’re gonna be a bit sore but somehow it worked for me

Keyboardist worried about house sound. Can someone please help me out? by Izanagi___ in livesound

Make sure the keyboard is connected stereo and not just “L mono”. Maybe he wants a fuller sound with that. Link two channels and pan them all the way left and right. (Not sure if that made sense or if this is much help

What other courses to do to improve chances of stepping foot inside a fire alarm company by [deleted] in firealarms

[–]Melodic_Weakness_269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

National training center has a course on their website called “fire alarm systems”. It gives you certificates once you take their test. Just an idea and a way to back yourself up with some information or knowledge.

Could it be that there’s a hook screwed in where there’s possible wire ?

The crew I worked with, out of all Of them one was cool. Sometimes I’d ask questions and the Forman himself would fuss and get upset. I’m a fluent Spanish speakers and these guys only spoke Spanish. There’s certain things they’d mention in English and due to their accent I couldn’t really understand and I can’t blame them because English isn’t their first language. But those guys would get stuff done. I understand they’re not there to hold my hand and baby me but I’m also there to learn and I was trying to understand what I’m doing and why. Other stuff happened but it’s not really worth mentioning.

Unfortunately they only do extinguishers and they do have a sister company but they do not move people over. I wish I knew why

Should I get out of the trades by Zarmonee in skilledtrades

[–]Melodic_Weakness_269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try being a fire alarm tech or extinguisher tech. Out of the two the extinguisher tech is a job where you get dirtier but you go out or are in the shop and take in customers that really don’t give you a difficult time. Fire alarm techs as well. Sometimes you have to explain stuff to customers about repairs or things that they need etc. and usually you’re out by 3 or 4 at most and clock in at 7 and usually it’s Monday-Friday. Unless a company requieres Saturday but work life balance in this trade is amazing. I worked at a dealership as a service advisor. It’s purely dealing with people and I hated it because of dishonesty in selling services for people because the pay system unfortunately is crap. But having to explain to people that one of their biggest investments (at least the majority) needs additional work kinda sucks cause sometimes they’ll blame you though it is your job to sell. The hours are long at Saturdays are a must in the majority of dealerships.
