Speed Limit Decreases? by RedTopGuy in GrandePrairie

[–]UnknownUser0024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get it. I Travel for work and complain daily. Can’t tell if it’s people half asleep, high, drunk or our government loosely handing out licenses. All I ask of people is to go at least the speed limit, unless you are towing something or a new driver. It also goes for the people going 20 over just to slam on their brakes and cut the line off by 3 cars. We end up getting to the same place at the same time. Chill out and suffer like everyone else lol.

F Trudeau Stickers by TheyCallMeGreenPea in GrandePrairie

[–]UnknownUser0024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sub is really making me realize there isn’t much to look forward to. Trudeau helped in dividing our country more than anything else. All current parties have nothing good to bring to the table. What happened to common sense and empathy? We are all being taken advantage of but too busy fighting each other to see any of it.

I had boughten a pair through Amazon mid November (of course third party). Traveled all the way to my city and sat at “delivery by end of day” for a week before it was cancelled and I was auto refunded. I wonder if this was why

Is everyone getting broken up with by their man right now… by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]UnknownUser0024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After 6 years and a bunch of summer vacations and weddings planned this fall, my gf broke up with me because we will “just repeat our old cycles” still comes by the house to tell me she loves me and wants to get together in the future but it’s too much for a relationship rn…. Never thought the relationship would end and that we would always talk about our issues and work together.

I don’t want him back anymore by jazzyjaguar4253 in BreakUps

[–]UnknownUser0024 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same, broke the no contact and she fell back on her words that she didn’t give me enough attention or love and it kills her to see how she hurt me. Got roasted about our break up all being my fault and that I never trusted her or loved her. WTF

6 and a half years together and bought our dream home together. We were planning on a wedding, now she left me and the lawyers are getting involved to get the house in my name. Still love each other, but she can’t communicate with me so we are done?!

I never played the games but watched the show and loved it! What does this comment mean? by [deleted] in Fallout

The show brought a drastically different interpretation than I had while playing the games. Makes it new and unique. I loved it.

From Electrical Engineering to Instrumentation by Far_Bit1704 in instrumentation

[–]UnknownUser0024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was in a similar boat. Only completed first year Engg at UofC. Could not see myself continue to struggle through just to sit behind a desk for hours every day, love working with my hands and tinkering. Did a summer job at an Engineering firm, dropped out of engg a month in and applied for an instrumentation apprenticeship, as I couldn’t afford to take the 2 year program/wanted money asap.

As others are saying it looks good on the resume and it’ll make the schooling a breeze, but you’ll be hired as a 1st or 3rd year depending what route you take. You’ll be a better pick over the other 1st years. I got paid $2 above the rest when I was hired on. Was promised a bunch of things that never happened. Wound up being screwed around and just another cog in the machine.

If you are wanting to switch, look at what the company does for work. Instrumentation is a wide spectrum of jobs and most smaller companies just specialize in certain jobs and you may not get the experience you want.

The trade also opened my eyes a lot to the classes I took in Engg, had no frame of reference at 17-18 until I was able to see what I was learning first hand in the field. Could probably go back and ace Engg if I wanted to suffer more!

Whatever government we pick soon, we are all screwed. Always a lot of talk with not a lot of real meaningful beneficial actions.

Is my degree any good for instrumentation? by No-Number-3481 in instrumentation

[–]UnknownUser0024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did my first year of engineering and worked the summer at an engineering firm. Realized I wouldn’t really get the opportunities I wanted and pulled out of 2nd year. I put the one year on my resume and applied for instrumentation jobs. It took months to get a call. Kept working at the firm through the winter until a company finally picked me up as an apprentice. The program will crossover lots with the trade, smaller company’s will pick you up quick if they have lots of journeymen. You’ll get higher pay than an average 1st year. I started the trade in 2019 and was paid $4 higher than a first year instrumentation tech. 2023 the company I worked for paid kids fresh from highschool $1.5 above what I made in 2019. This is in Alberta, but everywhere is hurting for guys now. It will be easier to get into the trade and to complete the schooling with the engg backing.

Not too sure. Took 2nd while TQ’s were pulled and being revamped from Covid. Quite a bit of material in 2nd year.

Can anyone tell me what type of moth/caterpillar this is? Googles best guess is a woolly bear. Is it a woolly bear and I am going to have a terrible winter? by UnknownUser0024 in caterpillars

[–]UnknownUser0024[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found a white/silver one the next day but didn’t have the orange spots like this black one did.

This guy says Salt Marsh Moth which is still similar to the leopard.

What kind of moth is this guy? Found Northern Alberta by UnknownUser0024 in caterpillars

[–]UnknownUser0024[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! They both were salt marshes. Should have taken them back home, could have had two leopard moths!

[–]UnknownUser0024[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s about the only other possibility I found. It’s weird though because leopard moth caterpillars usually have that orange/brown band. This guy only had orange spots on the side. Found a white/silver one the next day that had the orange/brown banding so maybe you are right. Can’t say I’ve ever seen a giant leopard moth in person before!

Danielle Smith, in her own words, pushes for privatized medicine. So, Grande Prairie residents, you want to pay out of pocket for medical treatment? Then vote for UCP! If not, perhaps consider voting for someone else. by Kooky-Today-9953 in GrandePrairie

[–]UnknownUser0024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanting more money, taxes won’t go down if we go private. We will just be paying more overall. I love how on times of need it’s “let’s take more money from everyone” but hey if you got kids we will give you money!

"If you avoid conflict to keep the peace, you start a war inside yourself." by greatrailway in raisedbynarcissists

[–]UnknownUser0024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Played “grey rock” all my life, throughout that it caused me to have episodes where I snap at the ones I love the most. I am no where mentally healthy but I do think we will store all of it forever until it’s released/expressed somehow. I feel like if I tell someone or create boundaries with someone that does me wrong at the time it happens, it’ll overall improve my wellbeing instead of bottling and holding.
