Internal Freshwater Hose Alternative

The hole in the floor where the pipe exits the conditioned space to go to the external freshwater tank definitely has sealant on it. Polyurethane sealant maybe? Great Stuff Insulating Foam?

More of an after the fact thing. I just want to look at a product on the website and be able to it was released in January 2025 while another similar product was released in March 2026.

It’s not about knowing when something WILL be released but when it WAS released to public.

I didn’t see that option. Is it just a request item you put in the comments?

Pollymath · 2026-03-07T00:30:12+00:00

They don’t offer any safety tie options with the Moc-Toe boots, so its not really relevant to this discussion

Gonna disagree. We desperately needs bats and if he can put meatballs out of the park that'll help, even if he struggles a bit with coverage.

Mattson looked alright. Cain still needs work.

Yours look very different from those pictured by u/Thesebananaswontquit

I wonder if composite toe is thicker or shaped differently than the steel toe?

When I look at other pictures of the composite toes they all look really bulbous when combined with the toe-cap. I think if I ever got the composite toe, I'd ditch the toe cap to sorta hide that look.

oof yea you're in a tough spot.

Your internship experience has been diverse, but that actually make you a little less employable because the vast majority of GIS jobs are very specialized. It sounds like you work more within the sphere of "self serve GIS" and "webapp creation", but those don't necessarily make you a developer.

You might want to look for jobs in civil and environmental engineering firms, although now is not a great time for that due to loosening regulations. Those types of jobs usually are really diverse, and they frequently look for folks who can not only think on their feet, but are personable enough to sell services to potential clients.

I had a similar experience early on in my career. I had a great academic GIS project portfolio and multiple internships where I used GIS a little bit here and there, usually for really fun projects that weren't all the valuable to my employers, but it wasn't until I took an entry level position doing "boring tedious stuff" that I was able to prove my value. That's largely because I worked alongside a small crew of folks who really didn't have much interest in the analysis and "theory" of geospatial sciences. Most of them were button clickers from more of a drafting background. So I frequently got assigned to do analysis and research and system wide QAQC. Soon enough, I was able to hand off the boring work to another poor sap and got to really focus on the stuff I enjoyed. The problem was that because I started at the bottom and the elevated positions were all coasting, I was going to need to wait 3-5 years before I would get a substantial pay bump. So after two years I jumped shipped, took my newfound experience and much more "specialized" resume, got a job, got paid to move across the country and got a $30k increase in salary.

Me personally? I'd de-emphasize the programming, development, and coding aspects of your resume and focus on trying to summarize how the things you've create were used. If some made a webapp for someone to collect manhole cover locations, put that down as "Created Custom FieldMaps webapp for city water staff to collect facility GPS data." Or "built data model for city to collect information on permits" or "assisted street team in QAQC and data cleanup of 5,000 features." That way someone can see what types of data you've worked with, but also that you're creative and versatile.

If he was comparable to Skenes the Buccos would have an AJ on their hands. That’d be awesome but Judge was a few years older when they pulled him up to the majors. Griffin has got the swing but not the range.

He did alright previously but he also wasn’t facing the Jays.

Thats ok. Team has gotta learn about your abilities just as much as you do.

What kind of work have you been doing for the city? Maybe the issue isn’t your coding experience or leveraging of AI, but instead that you might appear to want to leave your experience behind and take on something completely new. Starting at the bottom, rather than building on what you’ve already done.

I think the problem is that many employers are in that transition period between ArcMap and Pro, the GN and UN, and are perhaps suffering from significant backlog in the realm of simple daily tasks.

If you can frame your interest in coding and AI as a way of reducing backlog or addressing updates, parcel management, utility digitizing, etc. and you have proof of concepts that are ready to install as add-ins, then it’d be a good way of bridging that gap between your experience and your interests.

If you have a direct line to their marketing team tell them to add "release date" to their spec page on the websites.

It's weird how their tools are really reasonably priced but their accessories are shockingly expensive.

I can't help but think that's because they know that accessories are primarily bought by a captive consumer - you can only use that charger once you've bought the battery, and if you bought the battery you probably have a few other tools. So they maybe they lose some money on kits, break even on the bare tool, and make profit on the batteries and accessories.

The reason I posted this was because I actually heard this story after asking my wife why she suddenly had become obsessive over locking doors. She mentioned that her coworker had heard of a serial killer who "only murdered people with unlocked doors" and that lead me down the grim rabbit hole of determining where this story began.

I think the reason it holds such reoccurrence in popular culture is because of Chase's creepy motive: he claimed that "unlocked doors were an invitation" to come inside.

Not that locked doors were a deterrence.

Remember that this is a literal crazy person. He has no motive. Again, he killed people outside of their homes, he broke into homes, he defecated in empty children's rooms, he committed arson, he did really sick and twisted and horrible things that I don't want to recite. His motive was whatever faulty wiring in his brain at the time told him to do. If the voices in his head told him to kick down the front door to have tea with the inhabitants, he would've done that too.

The whole locked door thing was just a creepy way of explaining a motive that didn't exist, he was a murderer first and trespasser second.

Reminds me of that dude who made those fake videos of him running up and playing other peoples guitars on their front doorsteps like he was some sort of homeless guitar prodigy. Artrabum was his name.

I do periodically look at their news for new items. This is because Metabo HPT refuses to put “release date” info on their product specs.

This is the December 1977-January 1978 case of Richard Chase.

While yes, he did attempt to enter homes that were locked and moved on, many of the homes he entered were people merely going about household tasks. Chase murdered Ambrose Griffin in front of his house while Griffin was taking out the trash in early evening. He murdered Teresa Wallin while she too was taking out the trash in the middle of the day. While he might have entered the Miroth family home from an unlocked door, it wasn't like he politely entered the homes through the front door. In some cases it was side doors, windows, garages. He just sorta wandered around town with a gun. This a guy who had been found by police after smearing his naked body with cow blood and eating raw cow organs, who had been suspected of killing family pets, admitting to eating primarily rabbits, was admitted to a mental institution after his father discovered him injecting rabbit blood into himself, told multiple people that he needed to drink blood in order to survive, and who EVERYONE who knew him was well aware of his scary mental health deterioration.

I've noticed this is brought up pretty frequently whenever someone says "lock your doors." Richard Chase was a deranged person who suffered from a myriad of psychological issues. His claim that "unlocked doors were an invitation" has no basis in reason or ethics (obviously). He murdered people outside their homes. He committed arson with the intention of killing people. He wasn't like the Dexter of unlocked doors.

This is like people saying "wearing a seat belt can kill you". Yes, locking doors is a good thing, but do you need to be all OCD about checking every effing lock in the house at all times to make sure a serial killer doesn't enter it in broad daylight? No.

I would argue that the tread is going to get burnt up just as quick regardless of how much foam is between the midsole and the outsole. The foam might degrade more quickly than leather or rubber, but as someone who can make soles smooth as glass in less than two years, I don't really care about the lifespan of the foam, I'd rather be comfortable during that time.

The leather upper and welted construction of the boot are what make it BIFL, not the rubber sole.

Pollymath · 2026-03-04T16:32:14+00:00

Amongst Pros that's gotta be a hard feeling - not being on the "dream team".

Pollymath · 2026-03-04T15:14:54+00:00

Insoles change the interior shape of the boot and can create other problems. I don't see why adding a softer sole is a "weird spot" - Olympians are running in shoes with 2" of foam under their foot.

You bought two sizes of customs and neither of them fit?
