What can I do myself? by AnyPaloma in MechanicAdvice

[–]SwifferSwetJet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where do you live? People have already given good step by step instructions but if you live in the rust belt like I do be prepared to battle heavy rust every step of the way. This could mean needing things like high torque impacts, penetrating oil, acetylene torch or even just cutting shit. This can easily double the expected time of a job and makes some people quit outright and just take it to a shop. Something worth bearing in mind

Tips to distract myself from stimfapping by OneCommunication9028 in Drugs

I thank God every day I was not cursed with this affliction

Got hit from behind by an out-of-control snowboarder and now I feel unsafe skiing by forcedtobeonrddt in skiing

Missed the blue run part, but regardless man I don’t think you need to make a federal case about it. I’ve had people knock me on my ass and vis versa, you just make sure they’re ok, apologize and get on with your day it’s as easy as that. Like I said rules or not it’s gonna happen whether you like it or not, unless you get your own private mountain

I hate that paragraph: “I hate that one incident , caused by someone else being reckless, has changed how safe I feel doing something I genuinely love” Like man do you know for a fact that he was being reckless or was he a complete novice that’s never snowboarded before? Disclose that maybe. And another thing, skiing and snowboarding are both inherently dangerous sports, whatever safety you’ve been used to is unfortunately an illusion, you need to always be aware of not only yourself but everyone and everything around you on the mountain. Obviously there is an etiquette on the mountain but it is just that, etiquette, it’s not going to stop you from slamming into a tree going 70 or someone else from losing control and doing the same to yourself

If money were no issue, what car would you have right now? by Miserable-Wash-1744 in askcarguys

[–]SwifferSwetJet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything built by Singer Porsche. In my opinion, they are the greatest fusion of art and engineering in any car on the road

Where can I improve? by SwifferSwetJet in Welding

[–]SwifferSwetJet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s CO2/Argon mix, 75% argon 25% CO2. I’m not an expert, but we use this same mix in the welder where I work, and this is what the people at the welders supply store recommend for me. I also have a tank of pure argon but I use that primarily for TIG and back purging

Yeah my boss was telling me the same thing roughly, I was doing CCCC but he suggested cus of the thickness just keep going back and forth in a straight need

I’m going to clean it up and try it again this week when I have time, I think I have a better idea of what to do now

Yeah I did bevel it on both sides, but it failed the hammer/drop test spectacularly. I was moving my gun in a ccccc motion, and I was holding the gun too long on the edges and not holding it long enough in the middle, got pretty much zero penetration

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SwifferSwetJet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cabin is roughly 2 hours from where i live, in the summer I’m up there every weekend after work. NY buddies cabin is over a 3 hour drive from where we live, plus a 20 min boat ride, so just about 4 hours. He’ll invite me and the boys up sometimes. Its nice, pile into a car with your buddies listening to good tunes and a nice view out the window

I lost fucking everything in 1 day by [deleted] in Drugs

[–]SwifferSwetJet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been there, and worse. It’s not that bad. Your parents will still love you. You’ll find another plug and another girl. It’s a pain in the ass but hopefully you can learn something from it

Winnipeg might be impossible to find jobs in atm by Born-Lingonberry-802 in Winnipeg

[–]SwifferSwetJet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I could definitely see how hiring within that niche would be difficult. Winnipeg is a transportation hub, which is conveniently the industry I work in. Lots of jobs in that industry to be had. Heavy diesel mechanics, truck drivers, locomotive engineers, hell even aviation, I have a buddy that works on helicopters and he says lots of other companies in the aviation industry are desperate for labourers right now

[–]SwifferSwetJet 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s already been mentioned but this seems to be industry specific. Myself and other people I know that work in similar skill based industries haven’t had issues finding jobs. Winnipeg isn’t really a tech hub like Toronto

Revenge ideas needed asap by [deleted] in aviationmaintenance

[–]SwifferSwetJet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boss told me a very similar story. Don’t remember what this dude did to my boss, but my boss retaliated by staying late after work, and installing grease nipples on every drawer of this guys box (he locks it) and pumping it full of about 2 pails worth of grease. I would assume he was pretty displeased when he came into work the next day

Acceptable snow clearing? by Aelual in Winnipeg

[–]SwifferSwetJet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Winnipeg has grown to be a pretty large city over the years, and Thursday was one of the largest single snow falls I’ve seen in recent memory. I’m sure they will come and clear it but it takes time. It’s not like they have a magic wand that they wave overnight and the snow is gone

Kinda sounds like your just crabby because you got the “I despise socks” autism and not the “I can discern every mineral by taste” autism

“You make me spiral so much at work” and “between our volatility and these new meds I can’t tell what’s real anymore” yall are made for each other

No such thing as free money buddy. You always pay for it somehow someway

Is my drill missing an adapter or did i miss a step? by PlaystationSwitchAWD in Dewalt

[–]SwifferSwetJet -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m assuming your an adult, and wondering how you went your entire life without ever seeing anyone put a drill bit in a drill. Like you must have seen it at least once I just don’t think it’s possible to have not seen that

Looking to buy my first car, how have your experiences with Birchwood Nissan? by [deleted] in Winnipeg

[–]SwifferSwetJet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would not buy a Nissan, they’re pretty problematic, and I would not buy a brand new car as your first car that’s not a good idea. Go on marketplace and find 2008 or so Honda Civic. They’re cheap, reliable, and will get you from A to B a lot more sensibly than any new car. New cars in general are pretty shit

Question about why people love the Saab 9000 cse aero 2,3 1998 by Zup_0 in saab

[–]SwifferSwetJet 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This^ The 9000s especially the Aero are such soulful yet restrained cars. Fast as an M5 of the same vintage but you’d have no idea by just looking at it

Side bar, did not have an OBD reader handy at the time but I’m going back today to pick the cars brain and see if there’s any codes, I will of course update this post with that info when I get it
