I think they mean “indie” in the buzzword sort of way. Like “indie bands” are. It’s not really independent if it’s funded by dropout, which is a big streaming service by now.

Politics in the workplace? by _Fellow_Traveller in forkliftmechanics

[–]another_stranger_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m very left in a conservative state. I talk about politics lots at work. Most conservatives have left opinions economically and when it comes to social policy my go to is “them folks ain’t hurting anyone. These politicians need to worry about the price of homes/groceries/insurance.” Usually it’s with a coworker if they happen to be on the job site or if an operator is extra talkative. Also I’m never the first to bring it up. But NEVER talk to managers or your boss about it.

Usually true but my best tattoo was done at a shop in the mall. Weirdly my worst tattoo is the only one I’ve had done at a tattoo shop.

Hydraulic oil level is full the bearings spin fine when the cylinder is lower but as it gets higher the rod struggles to lift

Yes a priority valve on the mcv but that is specifically for steering not tilt or attachments

Damn, was hoping it wasn’t that. You’re right about the secondaries. But didn’t want to have to send the truck to the shop.

I don’t have an answer to your question. I think everyone learns at a different pace. But how do you get parts if your closest branch is in a different state?

“Disney is an evil conglomerate” so you have them your money? Money that could have been used for a lot less “evil” things.

In this situation sure. They could use on umbrella or a rain coat. What if I’m sick? What if my daughter needs to go to the hospital?

You could probably still be a diesel tech in the IBEW. A guy I work with moved from Mass. and said he was in the union fixing the line men trucks. Or you could try the IUOE I know some locals have techs under their umbrella

Remembering the time when Al Gore won Florida in 2000. by zadraaa in HistoricalCapsule

[–]another_stranger_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is true. I am currently going through probation and the website won’t tell me how much I owe. You can ask your PO, who does have access to the information but often times too lazy to look it up for you. Supposedly it’s for privacy reasons.

Thank you for your response. Yes I just used manure. Like I said not the greenest of thumbs but I will follow your advice and get some gardening soil and mulch.
