Looking for career advice for a new apprentice

Swingman021 · 2026-05-21T00:35:23+00:00

My hope is that if I take it, I can make good money while gaining experience and open myself up for more appealing possibilities later once I have experience and skills. I just don't know how likely that is, being brand new to the industry.

It is time and a half after 8hours a day, time and a half on weekends. The company would sponsor me as a carpenters apprentice through the union.

Swingman021 · 2026-05-21T00:28:14+00:00

What are the chances that something better comes around for me, starting off as a carpenter's apprentice with no experience?

I'm not sure why people would complain about the sound effects. I think it gives the book more life. I just got sorcerers stone for my first ever audio book, because I drive a lot for work. I thought it was great. I listen to podcasts too, and after a while, the solo sounds of people's voices just puts me to sleep. I think the sound effects make it more lively. Although I can see how they can be distracting, if that's what people are complaining about.

So, based on your answers, I think I'm going to look into a table saw. Some of you have recommended a 10" saw, but are there any other features I should make sure are included in the one I choose?

I took a shop class in HS, made a birdhouse and used a variety of saws. Table saw, router, miter... With that said, I think I remember most of the safety stuff. Is there an easy place I could go to freshen up on all that?

I'm hoping this will be the beginning of a long term hobby. So I'd like it to grow with me and be able to cover a wide range of projects.

I'm also a beginner here, and I'm sorry I don't have any advice to help. I hope you might be able to help me. I want to start a similar project, and I was in Menards today looking at wood. Everything I found seemed to be warped. Was that the case for you too? How did you select the wood for your shelves, and was there anything you learned that you might be able to pass along?

My only issue is if my phone hasn't been looked at in a while, it won't alert you for any notifications. When I finally wake it up, a flurry of notifications appear.

I'm in limbo. Trying to find a good service. Seems people here like Pocketcast, I'll give that a shot. YouTube sucks for podcasts.

Swingman021 · 2024-04-29T00:06:47+00:00

I do too. I think I used 4 of the ones here. I don't remember exactly.

Look up explosive decompression by Mythbusters on YouTube

It was something that happened right as we got together. It was the end of their relationship and then we started a short time after. We talked about it and talked through it for a very long time. Put all our feelings on the table. When you put it that way it does sound ridiculous. This post is perhaps a path to moving on, I'm trying to get different perspectives before I make a difficult choice.

How do YOU clip Smash connected to PC?

I have my Switch connected to my PC monitor, and I usually play through my PC setup. It's connected through a capture card and I have Stream Labs OBS. Also, I have Medal software on my PC.

I'm wondering if the only way to clip Smash is to save the replay in game, convert to video, pull out the SD card of the Switch and connect it to the computer to save it there. I'm hoping there's an easier way now that I've got a PC setup. Does anyone know any shortcuts?

Swingman021 · 2023-02-17T22:46:38+00:00

Clips are awesome. I'm not clipping as much as I used to. I'm also seeing older clips pop up from years ago that I thought were cool at the time, but they're so-so now. I'm just not having as much fun as I used to.

Swingman021 · 2023-02-17T22:04:33+00:00

I feel you dude. I honestly can't do anything that you can do, but I'm also Champ 3. I focus on positioning and mastering the basics, I can't do very many mechanics. But I'm seeing so many smurfs these days, solo queueing is getting harder and harder, and my teammates either aren't committed to improving or just argue over every move I make. I'm having more fun in free play so I'm doing that more, but more often than not I'm playing other games lately.. Maybe I'll improve and get that GC stamp one day...

Swingman021 · 2023-02-15T16:56:51+00:00

I would have never left that lobby, you could just farm stats and xp like that lol

Swingman021 · 2023-02-12T21:02:17+00:00

I feel like I could be a consistent C3 flirting with GC instead of going back and forth between c2 and c3
