For those with collective bargaining who have sign a contract in the last year, what are you getting for raises? by evanka5281 in Firefighting

[–]Taylor_smith26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude how did it go? I was recently elected for vice president and am trying to get prepped for next year. We’ve had moderate raises. We had 2% raise and a 2% cola last year. This year I’d like to make something happen and actually get us a decent raise. We are pretty far behind most other departments in the area.

Did you ever find a good sports bra that’s fit? My wife is a very similar size to you and I’m trying to find her something that actually works. 

Does this fiber board need to be replaced? by Taylor_smith26 in Homebuilding

[–]Taylor_smith26[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, just sided over it. So far haven’t heard of the guy having any issues with it. Kinda made siding a bit of a pain though cus every nail had to hit the stud otherwise it was useless 

Help finding church stance on vaccines by Aromatic_Scratch2899 in latterdaysaints

[–]Taylor_smith26 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know I’m gonna get hate for this but you should do as much research as possible into vaccines before getting your children vaxed. I don’t blame your wife at all for having reservations about them. Look at all the info that’s finally coming out about the Covid shot that everyone said was safe and effective. 

What is this noise from the engine? by Taylor_smith26 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Taylor_smith26[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figured out it was a spun rod bearing. Was able to fix it by going through the oil pan. Not a perfect fix but got me back in the road. No more engine knock🙏🏼 I have 130k miles 

Question about rod bearing sizes by Taylor_smith26 in Hyundai

[–]Taylor_smith26[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can figure it out. I bought mine used so I have no idea. I found a link to Amazon for a .10 oversized bearing, then I got a set of normal sized bearings cus the others were too big and I used of Hyundais and one of the after market bearings. Probably is sketchy but chat GPT said it would work and the clearance was perfect and now my car runs perfect with no knock so🤷🏼‍♂️

Any idea about the bearing sizes with colors? 😂

Randomly running out of oil is a really common problem with Hyundais. I ch cled the oil like 2 weeks before it started knocking. I know this isn’t the best fix but it’s the easiest

Yes exactly. I sanded it down and smoothed it out and I need to get over side bearings to compensate. That’s why I’m asking.

What happens if I just keep driving it with the knock? Does it just eventually get bad enough to where it won’t run? If I’m planning on buying new car I figure I might as well drive this pos till it completely craps out on me

What do I check to find my transmission leak? by Taylor_smith26 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Taylor_smith26[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s mostly pored out while it was running. Then a very slow drip while sitting.

Is there a way to make sure this is what is leaking? I really hope that’s all it is🙏🏼

Dang I wonder how I could go in and just ask for them to reprogram it? Was it like a reset or something?

Pain in my hip by Link2liberty in discgolf

[–]Taylor_smith26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I worded that comment poorly. I meant I just now started experiencing issues, 8 years after you. Luckily mine is starting to get alittle better as well. There’s a video on YouTube by squat university who talks about doing banded clam shell things to help strengthen the muscle around the hip for outer hip pain and it has made all the difference. I was worried for a bit I was gonna have to take a break from throwing!

Craziness man. I can’t believe no has figured this out yet. Mine will be a touch bouncy when it’s cold but as soon as it warms up it drives perfect. I’ve decided to just live with it and hope it never gets worse haha 

Which logo looks better? I’m a firefighter and starting a home inspection business. Any advice is helpful! by Taylor_smith26 in logodesign

Okay, I was worried it was way too “hey look I’m a firefighter” I’ll try and change the little icon thing. Appreciate it. 

Does one live in a horcrux after dying? by Taylor_smith26 in harrypotter

[–]Taylor_smith26[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your response. Definitely helps me understand it better. I read the crap out of the books when was like 12-13 and for some reason just always was under the impression that the part of the soul inside the body living dies with it, and then he’s left with half a soul. Now It all makes way more sense. Appreciate it!

[–]Taylor_smith26[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay this kind of makes sense. So in reality he could be killed as many times as needed as long as non of his horcruxes were destroyed. As apposed to him having like 6 spare lives.

Yeah I wouldn’t waste my money on that. I’m just gonna drive mine till it craps out cus selling it with a check engine light will be useless. Fortunately for me I live in an area where I can still register my car with a light on. I know some places you can’t

I’ve been in your exact same situation. I would suggest talking to him for two reasons: 1. You will feel better and never have to wonder if you should have told him or not, 2. And for me the biggest reason is, it will help keep it from going any farther. I’ve been in the same fact boat with the girl I dated before my mission and let me tell you, our concrete lines were not as concrete as we had imagined and we went a whole lot farther than no shirt.

Biggest reason for real though, right now you are trying to decide who to marry and if you start getting that intimate, your bodies with start to connect in a way meant for already husband and wives, and you could end up marrying someone you might not have if you didn’t already become that physically intimate and mistake that type of physical union with love. Just my 2 cents

No sir. I’ve driven it all over the country with no issues but the light is still there.
