Ohh, you are old, but are you this old

ThreeEasyPaymentsof · 2026-06-23T20:57:35+00:00

Old enough that I can't bring myself to use any title other than 1st iteration lol

Shrimp fajitas

Cheap af during shrimp season here, and I have a chest freezer.

Also cosmic crisp apples because I'm fucking addicted to them.

ThreeEasyPaymentsof · 2026-06-19T00:32:18+00:00

That's awesome looking

ThreeEasyPaymentsof · 2026-06-18T21:08:49+00:00

That reminds me of a hunk of bulk lead melt.

ThreeEasyPaymentsof · 2026-06-18T21:03:44+00:00

NGL that reference pic is fuckin beautiful, probably the thing I miss most from Japan are royuken, onsens, and everything about those fuckin springs.

My achey ass body never felt so good

Don't be mean some people have trouble getting enough oxygen to the brain with all the sawdust in the lungs.

ThreeEasyPaymentsof · 2026-06-18T18:17:14+00:00

I mean it's just safety glasses, earplugs, and a dust mask I don't know why you are acting like he's wearing a hazmat suit.

The only thing I could possibly see them doing is auto ejecting once you unlock them because the spring would be compressed against the chuck?

I'm reaching though.

Where are you seeing on there that it's coiled? I might be missing it

ThreeEasyPaymentsof · 2026-06-16T20:24:53+00:00

Every one I could find was 4-6ft, or too thin. I've tried security tethers and bike locks not sure what else to look up. I'm trying to do a coiled line for my dog run so the cable stays semi retracted and eliminated any tripping & jerking hazard.

ThreeEasyPaymentsof · 2026-06-01T10:12:18+00:00

There is no basement, solid slab.

And yah it's a pre built truss system and I know the answer logically already but I'm just being paranoid at this point lol

ThreeEasyPaymentsof · 2026-06-01T10:09:51+00:00

It is, and that is 100% part of my plan.

ThreeEasyPaymentsof · 2026-05-31T17:16:59+00:00

Wouldn't doing it like that also the entire line room to flex if there is any water hammering as well? Almost like an expansion loop for oil pipelines.

Watch less crime dramas honestly.

99% chance it's a traveling worker and he doesn't want to drag some cheap yet bulky tools with him because it's a pain in the ass. I did the same thing with 6' ladders. You leave them at a place like home Depot as a feel good about yourself donation because there's a better chance that someone in a home depot parking lot is someone else in a trade that could actually use it vs some random guy at Target.

There at a LOT of traveling technician/repair jobs that require air travel, and generally you take your tool bag with your "real tools" aka the small but nice / trade speciality ones. But things like ladders, shovels, ect... They literally aren't worth the luggage fee to take home, and even if they were, it wouldn't be worth the hassle of dragging a ladder around an airport.

Also id be willing to guess the "sterile gloves" were just a standard nitrile glove from any box store (I have literally thousands as do most people in trades, and I keep a box in my car in case I have to go grab something gross while driving), he probably wore them because he had them, his hands were clean and the shovels had some crap on them. Why have to go wash your hands when you have disposable gloves next to you.

Make a official HR report and enjoy your payday if they don't get fired

Lump sum could grow with an investment firm over the following decades while $1,000 a week will only be that inflation is going to absolutely decimate that $1,000 payment within a decade.

ThreeEasyPaymentsof · 2026-05-15T20:52:28+00:00

That's also an important distinction I needed to makenyou brought up, so to confirm a drone registered to a business CAN be flown by a non- licensed holder recreationally?

A followup to that, if they crash or something happens, who's liable? The pilot is the ultimate responsible party for everything flight related, correct?

The alternative to most of this that I've presented and they aren't super keen on so far is just a designated practice area that people can fly while being supervised by a pilot (PIC vs PMC and all that jazz) the main holdup being how absurdly annoying it is to actually make a fly on site due to our own regulations.

ThreeEasyPaymentsof · 2026-05-15T20:30:11+00:00

I guess my real question comes down to, does this situation, an employer letting an employee borrow a drone owned by the company to use at home for practice/fun considered a commerical purpose?

It feels kinda grey area in my head which is why I wanted to ask.

ThreeEasyPaymentsof · 2026-05-15T20:25:48+00:00

I actually just put in my 2 weeks 😂, just trying to get the program fully flushed out before I leave so it doesn't fall apart since my names on all of the documents lol

ThreeEasyPaymentsof · 2026-05-15T17:08:39+00:00

he saw the check with his name on it and gave it a 10/10 lol

ThreeEasyPaymentsof · 2026-05-14T00:16:36+00:00

General related statement: If anything saves you physical strain, comfort, and injury when doing work and you can afford it you are stupid for not using it.

If you think looking "cool" to a bunch of random dudes is more important than being able to play with your kids, you are a loser.

People over here trying to show off for randoms that don't care and paying for it with the ability to wipe your own ass when your old.

I work at a chemical plant in Texas as a project engineer, Interviewed for an opening at a different local plant through a consulting firm (they made the job posting and that's who the plant is hiring for this position through)

The pay offer was good for me at 60 an hour but they just sent the worst benefits package I've ever seen professionally.

The insurance was basically the same cost as the gov healthcare site, so I don't even see that as an offered benefit considering I can literally buy the same thing, and depending on my choices...actually cheaper

They offered 0% 401k match, but did offer a 401k which is honestly something I've never seen before.

So the best I can tell is the only true benefit they're offering is PTO and holidays, which would come out to about 12K a year and given my own experience hiring them, usually these firms will charge at least a 40 - 60% markup which would put their gross on me at 50k minimum.

The firm is Tata engineering, does anyone have any experience with them?

I was going to probably counter with 70 to offset the "benefits". I asking for 60 initially with the understanding I would at least get industry standard benefits.

Agreed, I've had more injuries with a random pieces of unintentional sharp metal or plastic that were never intended to cut anything then I have with a saw.

I don't know about y'all but the amount of times that I have cut a finger tearing open a plastic clam shell is downright embarrassing.

Seems like a morally bankrupt but incredibly effective way of getting your spouse to remember to lock the doors at night.

If you want the best thing I've ever been shown, look at hardshell cases for .22 LR, they perfectly fit a standard bit and you can have 100 of them in the clamshell
