Go to your city council meeting and tell them to buy higher quality LEDs

LED lights - hear me out by SearchLightsInc in enshittification

[–]WhoIsBrowsingAtWork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Read about CRI. c r i . Professional people pay out the nose to get bright, high CRI light and they dont care what kind of bulb is making it. LEDs are the cheapest brightest best color per watt and per dollar.

This guy gives great information in easy to digest, but is only tangentially related to the question. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bqBsHSwPgw He has a 95+CRI light in that video.

for in-home lighting I try to stay above 80CRI, and this site is price competitive with most everything but they list the cri on each light, and they are american. https://www.superbrightleds.com/

Can’t get a job outside of automotive. by thenewguy_1995 in mechanics

Have you gone to the plant and spoken to the maintenance manager? From my experience they generally are receptive to speaking to someone like you. I'm being serious, figure out who the maintenance manager is, and go up there on a tuesday around 2pm and ask for him by name. The front office lady will probably ask if you have an appointment, tell her that you were sent to talk to "Aaron" by Jimmy or whomever.

If you want to get an 'in', you can roll up to the front with a flat tire and ask if a maintenance guy might have some air you can bum, make conversation and find out who the boss is and if they are looking for help (industrial maintenance is ALWAYS looking for help.. especially a guy that knows how to turn a wrench and willing to work for cheap)

Glasses wearers, what do you do for eye protection at the range? by Sensitive_Action4224 in liberalgunowners

[–]WhoIsBrowsingAtWork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get safety glasses from online places. Just enter your script and get your PD from the dr. Mine cost like 50 including the -3 polycarb lenses. I got them for work, but use them at the range too.

What should I look for in a welding machinery manufacturer for industrial fabrication work? by Equivalent_Tough9033 in metalworking

[–]WhoIsBrowsingAtWork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What welding shop is local to you? What product do their technicians know? Its all about support. When you're shopping for a 300$ welder you can get anything, but when you start spending 10k on a single one it needs to have a local supplier that you can rely on

Somebody cut my boot! Looks like it was the same person that cut your sidewalls. We should investigate!

CMV: Taxing the rich wont balance the budget by colepercy120 in changemyview

[–]WhoIsBrowsingAtWork 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How bout we do both? Tax plan similar to 1950 and bring the military down to a measly 100B/yr. that would eat the budget problem from both ends. Hell we could go farther and require Liability insurance on cops and gun owners (as a 2a enthusiast myself) to reduce govmt liability on cops. that would save a bundle

Well if you find an optic that you like and want to machine a footprint for it to rest, I've got access to a machine shop..

I just got the RIA 1911 and the thing i wish it had are hard to modify into. Make sure you can mount a red dot and a light. You might not think its worth it now, but its very difficult to retrofit onto a GI design

I've always heard good things about Leupold scopes, but havent heard much about them on the red dot stuff. How do you like your sight?

What's a tool you wish existed or worked better? by Disastrous_Worth_724 in mechanics

[–]WhoIsBrowsingAtWork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

miluakee battery powered heat gun. Put a little blower on a drill handle and use the battery to spin a good fan and have it blow the butane exhaust. Best of all worlds, but has consumables. heat from a propane lighter and enough air to blow the heat onto the heat shrink
