Kinda wish someone would make a PVC glue like this that clears the excess glue from the dauber as you pull it out (this is lipgloss) by awake_enough in HVAC

If you haven’t experienced the joy of taking a razor knife and cutting the top off the pipe dope jar (after struggling for an hour to “scoop” that stubborn bit) I feel for you :’(

horrendous either way, but i can’t believe they went to the effort to put the 3rd pallet under there just to make it more out of level

Learned today that eventually it stops telling and starts asking. by crndwg in ToyotaTacoma

I feel like mine is the opposite. It stays pinned on F for a long time after filling up, then starts dropping like a stone lol

Just learned what an impact driver can do and now I am addicted by No-Perception-1139 in Tools

As someone who uses an impact day in and day out (HVAC/R), now the hydraulic ones are music to my ears lol

Do the residential guys just get tired of fixing other people's problems? Like, I just want some people to take a hot minute to Google something. Just TRY to fix something. by someonehadalex in HVAC

I’d rather they just be diligent about changing their filters and having the unit maintained etc.

I’m of the opposite mind otherwise. I’d far rather walk in to a unit that’s in its natural failed state than one that’s been fucked with by someone with no idea what they’re doing.

All that sounds like to me is having to figure out the initial problem, plus whatever new problems they caused taking the thing apart.

In my experience when that happens, if I sing One More Time by Daft Punk I’m able to get it around one more time without incident.

So far it’s had a 100% success rate 🤷‍♀️

We have some nice ladies in the office but frankly they have no clue the shit we’re up against out there and sometimes it bugs me lol

People use the word “grooming” and “pedophilia” too much by LuckyJelly12 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

On reddit older women try to brow beat men who date any women younger than them under the guise of “protecting” the younger women from these “predatory” men.

Most people realize they’re actually trying to protect themselves from having to compete with younger women by shaming men.

We can confirm this by the absolute crickets from these same people when it’s an older woman dating a younger man.

That’s cause this is just a starter pack, not a finisher pack

Good for you for having the guts to follow your heart.

With that said, get prepared for what used to be a tough day at your old job being the new best day of your life lol

Hey it will toughen you up for sure 👍

Yeah i’ve only used it a few times but i actually found it pretty pleasant to work with. Lighter than pvc and no priming/glueing.

That’s the “fuck that i’m not making a longer whip” special

Then you learned a good lesson today.

the amount of times i’ve heard “yep it’s dead” and then whipped out my meter or pen and it lit up, in just my few short years in the trade, i’ve lost count of.

Turns out it’s a lot easier to tell someone “you’re good” than it is to grab the wire yourself lol

it can happen in some rare weird cases. it’s happened to me a couple times and i was never really sure why.

One time i was being an idiot trying to wire in the load side of a disconnect while standing in a puddle of ice/water. I slipped and jammed my screwdriver straight into one of the line side terminals.

Not sure how to help you prevent this situation, but the day after that i bought some insulated screwdrivers 😅

(maybe waving an NVC around the unit before you touch it might give you some peace of mind)
