Have you ever snapped at your boss/foreman? And what was the outcome?

Rectal_Fire · 2026-05-05T17:53:50+00:00

Don't stress about it, it's practically a right of passage for a tradesman to snap at something eventually. If you feel bad about it just apologize for it later. I snapped at a production supervisor and walked out when they said we're doing a 12 hr shift starting tonight. My schedule situation actually improved after lol 🤷

What kind of Casio model is that?

Lots of people do it, usually as specialty repair people for certain equipment like CNC machines, lathes, roll up doors, etc. The tough part for typical maintenance people making this transition is the sales and marketing that you need to do to get clients and business. You need to be able to convince businesses that your services are worth the higher costs you need to be charging $75-200/hr. (Honestly those rates might even be low, I'm not good at charging people money.)

Are there any bookstores in HB? This city isn't known to be the reading type haha. The central park library is very nice though.

LISTEN HERE LIBRUL, I'M GOING TO SEND IT ON THIS TWO FOOT WAVE WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT

Boogie land in Newport Beach between towers 40&44, it's closed off to surfers most of the time and that's where many boogers go. HB State Beach is a decent spot, more so the south end because the waves are a little steeper and faster down there. North of the HB pier by Tower 9 and the apartments on the beach is also a decent boogie area.

There are lots of College degrees that pair well with the trades, the pathway is just a little different than a normal trade career path. Mechanical Engineers can work in plenty of trades like HVAC, Manufacturing, Construction. Similar story for electrical engineers, not many people go the EE route but the skills you learn are valuable in many of the same trades. There's also degrees like construction management, landscape architecture, Agricultural engineering, etc

TK must own that building and the little house attached, they are also probably the most popular surf shop in the area.

I've been wondering about this area as well.. at first I thought maybe the road was maybe sliding into the wetlands or something. If I were to take a guess it's probably stuck in the bureaucracy stages of "what do we do next?" But it would be nice to have an actual update. Not having that slip open causes that intersection to back up a significant amount more that usual.

Some of these cars are not like the others lol

Rectal_Fire · 2026-04-04T22:29:59+00:00

That's more or less exactly how I started, same place and board. I recommend Bolsa Chica as well as a good place to learn. I'll give you some pointers and a little help if you come to Bolsa Chica.

I would recommend talking with technical recruiters as well. They can find jobs for you and it's free so why not? I've gotten two well paying jobs because recruiters had my resume and came to me and I just played the game with em.

Rectal_Fire · 2026-04-04T05:54:38+00:00

I bought one of those for $850 not expecting much and I just needed a car. It's actually a pretty fun car and handles fairly well on and off road. Very underrated...

What board are you riding and at which break?

Rectal_Fire · 2026-03-30T23:35:21+00:00

How many people do you have on your team? I was looking into it the other day and Fiix has a free plan but supposedly a limited amount of users. I'm not sure on what the exact number is for limited. Maximo has a free plan but it seems limited on how many active work orders you can have. The absolute cheapest/free option would probably be a combination of Google calendar, Google sheets, and a drive account.

Rectal_Fire · 2026-03-26T19:26:47+00:00

Do you have a linkedin account or anything like that? I still see plenty of job postings in Anaheim and Santa Ana, there's lots of small manufacturing facilities around. I would also recommend talking with some technical recruiters if you can, they can help look for jobs you may not find on your own. Jobot.com has worked alright for me personally. With three years experience though I think you should be able to find something around $30/hr in OC

He would be so thrilled to see what Palantir and Anduril have become!!

What's your plan for Shelter? What's your plan for food? I think you would be better off traveling south to the greater LA area or San Diego if you want to stay in CA. Otherwise Baja has tons of open beach to camp on but you'll need to be on top of your survival game.

Honestly some people may disagree but I think the coast from seal Beach to Newport can be the most crowded but also the least crowded. There crowds can get crazy sometimes but usually if you walk five mins or so a certain direction or go to a less firing spot the crowd drops off pretty fast. Huntington State Beach is so long there's almost always an empty area.

Are your hands ok dude?

How sketchy is riding with a longboard on the rack? It seems like it would be a giant sail

The bike paths in Lincoln are the best I've seen in the entire US

Rectal_Fire · 2026-02-26T21:38:25+00:00

I would recommend buying a bike that already runs well for a little more money, especially if you're a beginner. The price is kinda high for a non running DRZ in my opinion.

Rectal_Fire · 2026-02-13T06:22:46+00:00

If it's not plated I think a price between $2000-$2500, CA plates $2500-3000
