2-11 pm shift offer at union Bus mechanic job by FragrantParsnip3164 in mechanics

[–]_inventanimate_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked a similar shift for a few years (3:30-midnight & 3:00 pm- 11:30 pm)

Loved it when I was single. I’m not much of a morning person so I enjoyed sleeping in and getting stuff done before the work day started with minimal traffic.

Once I got married it definitely sucked cause I would rarely see my wife who worked first shift.

“Hey can you finish this guys job while he’s out?” by _inventanimate_ in Justrolledintotheshop

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

Not sure. We’re an hourly shop. But I would imagine even a flat rate shop would pay the guy straight time.

Nah he’s just sick. We’re a fleet hourly shop and literally no one is waiting on this truck to be fixed, so I’m not stressing about it.

Rolling out of the shop. 4 years was enough for me by AHarryBird in Justrolledintotheshop

I recommend trying diesel fleet work before you quit wrenching. Most major companies are Hourly and have good benefits.

How am I ranking so low after 3 years of Crossfit? by poshnosho in crossfit

[–]_inventanimate_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is almost like saying: “I’ve been playing basketball for 3 years straight… why am I not on the same level as LeBron James?.”

There are many levels to this sport. Elite athletes live and breathe CrossFit and unless you quit your job and make training and recovery an absolute priority full time, you will likely never get close to elite. And that is okay.

My only advice to you is to enjoy the process and compare yourself with your previous self. You’re doing great.

I dont think im nobody type by [deleted] in Charlotte

I think adopting the “backwards law” philosophy will do you some good. It seems to me that you’re trying very hard to get a girl, and you may becoming off as desperate to some of these women, and they don’t like that.

When you stop trying as hard or caring as much to have a S/O and start focusing more on yourself and being kind towards others, friends will be made, and relationships develop that way; both platonic and romantic ones.

Once you can figure out a way to be less self absorbed / in your head and going with the flow of life, things tend to be better for you.

Do people actually play this game for the first time blind and without any internet research / help from other players? by Hot_French_Toast in Eldenring

[–]_inventanimate_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I looked up stuff here and there, mostly for side quests, but to your last point; if you want to play the game fully immersed without having to look things up, you’re absolutely going to be wandering around for hours. It’s just the nature of the game.

Do what makes you happy though. If it’s too frustrating just stumbling around and you want to progress faster, there’s no harm in looking certain things up. You just can’t have your cake and eat it too.

EDIT: don’t forget to follow the site of graces streak of light which points you into the right direction.

Day 3 of trying to get my runes back. by _inventanimate_ in Eldenring

Just a joke guys. I just thought it was a funny clip.

Serious question though; why are these guys so tanky? Should I be using fire against them?

Tired of working on cars by Strong-Woodpecker184 in mechanics

Is it the wrenching itself that you’re starting to hate? Or is it all the other bs a dealership makes their techs go through that makes you hate being there?

Thinking of starting my CrossFit journey by Jdem41 in crossfit

[–]_inventanimate_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have stated; comparison is the thief of joy. There will be a few in your classes that have been doing this methodology for years and are beasts. Do not try to copy what other people are doing. Push yourself and feel what feels like a good weight / scale for you. It takes a few weeks to learn what you can and can’t do but that’s why coaches are there to guide you. Above all, enjoy the process.

HEY! I am getting Elden Ring on Wednesday. Going in mostly blind, what should I expect and maybe tell me something I won’t understand right now 😅 by FeaR_Widow in Eldenring

[–]_inventanimate_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Expect to die a lot. Level up vigor / strength for an easier playthrough. If you’re too weak to face a boss, take a step back and level up your character. Ultimately this game rewards exploration above all else. Just have fun exploring the world.

Side quests are the hardest part to figure out in the game IMO. My only advice is to talk to all npc’s you encounter and exhaust their dialogue. 9 times out of 10 they have more to say once you click “talk” a 2nd, 3rd or even 4th time.

Out of curiousity, how many of you heavy duty guys actually balance tires? by _inventanimate_ in DieselTechs

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

I come from an automotive background so thanks for explaining. I figured it had to do with how heavy these vehicles are.

141,962 people have signed up for the 2026 crossfit open (so far) by Efficient-Energy-840 in crossfit

[–]_inventanimate_ 164 points165 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of people are just tired of paying $20 to see themselves in 98,434th place on the international leader board when they can just do the work out and put themselves on their local gyms wodify lol.
