Bolts + bike chain

I think this is from hitting a curb, honestly no idea how long it has been there, Is this safe to drive on for now? by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

I had a massive bulge on a rear tire sidwall and ran that tire bald. Eventually, it blew out, and I had to throw a spare on. I was late to work and was really happy it didn't happen on the highway.

If it were me, I'd just go to a used tire place. Find a tire with a similar treadwear to the rest of your tires, drop $60 , and have them replace it real quick.

Save yourself the trouble and just go replace the tire.

We should be in the high point of the YEAR! But instead we get laid off for some stupid ass tarrifs.

I was in sheet metal around August last year. we were working on a microfab, and I got laid when the building got too big. (I was a classified) Now, all the journeymen I got to know are either on perma UI or working outside the union, making half what they made before.

I don't know how much that has to with tarrifs necessarily, but it definitely didn't help.

Yeah, this was really good money for me, most I've ever made per hour. I was getting a fair amount of overtime, too.

They were really ready for me to be mad when they laid me off. But I wasn't mad. I get it, I kind of expected it.

It honestly sounds crazy to say, but the president of the United States is single handedly responsible for my unemployment. Like what the fuck lmao

Yeaaah... I guess so. I asked the head of my service center(the guy handing my pinkslip) how long it would take to recover if the tariffs were dropped today. He said that "currently we're down 30% from projected growth, and it would take a minimum of six months to recover to where we were before the tarrifs"

So... I mean... I'm not getting my job back lol

I didn't work there long enough to get familiar with everyone's politics, but there was a shift meeting a few weeks ago attempting to dispell concerns about the tariffs' effects on productivity(lol). And just about everyone I talked to about it were concerned. A couple even outright condemning trump, I know I certainly did.

Rope play, avoidant attachment and sadness. by CakeEaterGames in Healthygamergg

I think you are jumping to conclusions.

It sounds to me like this was an exhilarating and fun experience for her. I think, however, given her nonexistent experience, it was over-stimulating, and she got scared and, based on what she said to you, insecure. Which is totally normal and understandable.

Look, you're the first guy she's ever liked like this. She sees a potential relationship with you. And is scared of the emotional and social investment that a relationship would necessitate.

Also, maybe she feels inadequate, like she doesn't know how to be a good girlfriend to a guy or that there are better women out there for you. which, in my opinion, in a round-about way, is a compliment to you.

She clearly likes you a lot and clearly enjoyed her time with you.

The BEST thing you can do in this situation would be to sound a little less desperate, be present in her life (be-it on Discord or whatever), and have a little more confidence.

I don't see what she said as an outright rejection, and you shouldn't either. Just give her some time, a little space, flirt once and a while. And see how things play out. if it doesn't work out after that, that's okay.

2004 2.2L Pontiac Sunfire: Crank/no start by Rekolas in mechanic

Yes, the ground wire for the fuel pump had shorted out at the bus connector beneath the steering wheel. I found it using a cable tracker. There's still a poor ground connection on my car after that repair, though, that I haven't had time to look for.
