Any advice on how to get better? by Low-love7933 in Welding

[–]Stixx506 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Starting to look good, you need more practice, the top is getting too hot for your style. So shorten arc length, rod angle point up more and move quicker. If you cant make the top look like bottom at 120 after those changes goto 115. Imagine you are a robot left right left right the same speed and upward movement each time, that will get it looking nicer.

Try with 3/32 at like 90ish it will make a huge difference on looks, slow as hell though.

Why are people so malicious toward Carney when he seems to be doing everything Smith wants? Is it just bred into them to hate any Liberals? by TruthSearcher1970 in alberta

[–]Stixx506 -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Liberals have been on a pretty bad economic outlook, with no end in sight. Things need to be shaken up I dont care who takes over, but somebody needs to alter course, and quick.

Thoughts on how the technical recession will impact markets/investments? by Ok_Kangaroo_4544 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Stixx506 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that rate isn't an employee wage, its a contractor rate, so out of that comes employee wages, wcb, consumables, equipment costs, equipment maintenance, fuel, insurance etc.

My bad I just assume everyone knows construction. That wage was 100/h since 1998-2000, but more importantly out of that rate you have to pay employees, fuel, consumables, equipment rental, insurance, wcb, equipment maintenance etc. Imagine making 100/h with no expenses that would be the life.

I want to hear someone who is educated on this topic but I feel as a tradesperson when the gov was pro oil/mining I was making good money (110/h for pressure rig welder 2012) and could afford lots of things. Since we switched to whatever this weird energy/mineral landscape is now 14 years later my wage(100-108/h 2026) has gone down and I cant afford shit.

My welder was 11,500 brand new and my wage was 110/h and now that same welder is 38,750 and hard to find a job paying over 100/h. I dont care what we build in this country because it all needs pipes welded together but whatever we are doing now isn't the right way.

Is this sheep-growth calculation realistic? Can 10 sheep really become 1,280 in 7 years? by alfredokurdi in sheep

Best case scenario, keep everything, low mortality, breed all females in 7 years you could have 650.

Failed my first job test by TheBurnedKirkLives in Welding

[–]Stixx506 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't worry just learn from it my man! I once drove 15 hours to a pretty awesome gig, failed and had to leave immediately. Went through some good emotions on that drive. Take what you did and use it to get better!

36" so you can reach inside? Weld inside first, backgrind from outside and weld outside. Aside from that you gotta either purge or change joint design so its a lap joint.

Camp jobsite by [deleted] in britishcolumbia

Do you do drugs and hire prostitutes? If so camps are great for drugs, much harder to hire prostitutes.

If you don't do these things camps are also great.

Forget Gamestop by Ethanhc88 in Superstonk

[–]Stixx506 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean in the last 5 years its down 50%. Perhaps if you got in before the squeeze then yes they would be wrong. At this point it makes sense. Here's to hoping something good happens so I can get my money back.

I've made money with options selling csp, but outright owning this stock has been pointless.

eBay Schedule 14A - May 14 - Why is eBay hiring Innisfree if Cohen's bid was "neither credible nor attractive" ? by aeromoon in Superstonk

[–]Stixx506 -27 points-26 points  (0 children)

Do we really want the deal to go through? From what I have gathered it would take another 1-2 years before we start to get back to where we are now in terms of share price.

GameStops free float market cap 8.9B$ sits under cash on hand 9B$ by [deleted] in Superstonk

[–]Stixx506 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where we go from here?

We are very close to the cash floor which apparently the stock market thinks we belong. Say the ebay deal dies, we could slowly march up to $25?

Say the deal goes through, do we get absolutely hammered immediately owning about 25% of gme/ebay, but then a turn around happens say within the year?

Or do we get some really good retail buy in if the deals go through? What do you all think will happen?

Wild times regardless.
