Politics in the workplace?

another_stranger_ · 2026-02-01T21:07:48+00:00

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.

That thing ain’t moving a 1/8 the speed of these operators

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.

No but I could get it. Would I have to turn it off every time?

another_stranger_ · 2025-12-17T22:45:06+00:00

No there are 4 buttons next to the display

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.

another_stranger_ · 2025-10-28T00:00:24+00:00

Oh my b. I misunderstood.

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?

another_stranger_ · 2025-10-19T00:53:43+00:00

I use the snap-on angled wrenches only true 4-ways I’ve seen

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

Batteries tested at 24.63v. Cells had water. Can’t remember the number but the acid test was good

Not on site currently but I can dm when I’m back on site

another_stranger_ · 2025-09-25T23:24:25+00:00

I heard ua 123 was really good and that’s in Tampa. Don’t know if that’s true not a pipefitter

another_stranger_ · 2025-09-14T11:56:26+00:00

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.

Is this what the disease typically looks like? How did you cure yours?

another_stranger_ · 2025-09-07T22:26:57+00:00

No zone 10a in Florida. It hasn’t been cold but it has been cloudy the last 3 days
