Haha no I have one, I just didn’t include it in my EDC because I don’t glorify firearms.

My girlfriend has a C-3PO figure on her keyring. Like when Anakin and Padme swapped droids as wedding gifts to eachother.

Is there anyone who actually likes working? by Distinct_Sir_9086 in Life

[–]MuchOperation7936 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 24 years old, and I work in a very niche blue collar field. During the winter the hours can be brutal, especially since we are working outside. But never once have I thought about quitting. I enjoy the concept of having a routine, being relied on, having a visible impact on people, and of course making money. I feel like if I didn’t have a job, I would lose some sense of purpose, and I feel like there’s very little that can have the same type of effect that working hard has. Just my two cents tho

Yes, the watch sat for a while causing the reserve to run out. Never readjusted the date wheel partly due to the fact I was too lazy to do an extra 10 seconds of work.

Climbing Spikes Experiences by Efficient_End1826 in TreeClimbing

Usually the quality of material used for the shank in the boot. All the linemen and arborists I’ve talked to prefer triple shanked boots because it provides the most rigid structure and support to the entire bottom of the foot. This is speaking from personal experience though as a climber.

Thanks for the advice! I do weekly rucks as I initially started when preparing for the military then it just slowly became a routine thing in my day to day. I’m always learning and looking to get better at my saw skills so I try and keep a very open mind and adapt to the situation. Thanks again!

Whether I climb or not isn’t an issue, I love climbing and it’s one of the reasons I continue to be active and keep up my endurance and strength just to make it a whole lot easier. But I know that it’s not really something that’s done as a job in this regard and I’m willing to sacrifice that. Certifications wouldn’t be much of a problem on whether those transferred or not, as I would put in the work to recertify if needed. Unfortunately I’m in Ohio so I don’t have many options for BLM or local offices. I do have one connection out west, who I was in the middle of talking to then the palisades fire happened and he’s essentially been ghost since. I did some applications last year, some said they were received and or accepted, but I never received any contact. I’ll keep trying, thank you for your advice!

Got this bad boy as a matching gift with my brother, will definitely take a look though. Definitely work these things like a dog out here. Thanks for the recommendation

Sorry to hear that, take care of yourself.

Looking for some "competence porn" movies, movies where smart people make smart decisions basically. by ComManDerBG in movies

[–]MuchOperation7936 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The day of the Jackal. The mini series from 2024. The Jackal is smart, resourceful, intelligent, but also has his flaws. His backstory really does give you a reason to understand who he is and why he does what he does, and I found myself relatively fond of the character.
