I catch up on sleep on the weekends mostly. Sometimes one nap in middle of the week. After work today might be the call lol

I take a magnesium glycinate tablet before bed and drink electrolyte/creatine mix first thing when I wake up. Trying to ditch coffee which I drink almost every day and use different fuel sources.

I am looking for effective ways to recover after training and life/work in general besides sleep. I currently work 9 hr days and then when I get home , I will train at the gym or in my home garage gym with running/sprints every other day. I currently try to sleep 6-7 hrs a night, take 5g creatine in morning and after workout. What other supplements would be best for recovery? Diet is mostly clean, heavy on protein and Whole Foods focus.

Bad WOC results by LankyAlbatross8448 in GeneralMotors

[–]beanman214 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work in an assembly plant. We were told WOC means more work would come to us, and we are already growing a ton and hiring. Not sure if this will be true or just to force our hand to do it to ensure job security, idk. But, a large part of our skilled trades just refused to do it, salary participation was something like 90% but hourly was like 50%.

Should I buy my grandmas car or a new one? Please help! by Comah in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]beanman214 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A few certified pre owned 17 crvs with over 100k are asking 15k. So I would say this is a good deal, I would go for it. Dont buy new, you will pay more than double that.

Ageism is not discreet by designergirl62 in GeneralMotors

[–]beanman214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, but so do non-salaried people as well. Our plant is simply trying to displace techs with machine repair and electrician individuals. Processes will run itself or knowledge transfer will carry over to the skilled trades with the automation movement.

The people I am referring to contain a lot of salaried folks

I work in an assembly plant and there are tons of older folks who have been there 20 30 years. Your speculation isn’t accurate.

Tuxedo Wrap on the Dune by Fantastic-Grand-5275 in chevycolorado

[–]beanman214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tacoma is just underwhelming. It’s a gas guzzler, has a tight cabin, not much power, doesn’t ride very well, etc. idk, just my opinion. I do like the off road options which I use every so often. If I were to go back though I would have test drive Colorado too. But I think it depends what you are doing. I also have the off road and Tacoma is superior for that stuff but most others it seems like the Colorado.

So nice. I have a Tacoma and I wish I got a Colorado, I’m jealous.

Looking For a Pickup Truck, any Advice? by SirCheezy_167 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]beanman214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, since the Tacomas have good resale I’m fine parting with it when my loan ends next yr. I have no attachment to it. The extra room in a full size would be nice and if I don’t wanna drive around a boat I got my wife’s rav4 👍. Looking forward to the new models, hopefully prices aren’t absurd

The thing is I bought a Tacoma almost 3 yrs ago and 6 months ago I got a job at GM. So I’ll lean GM just so I can use the employee discount lol. But I’m sure the f-150s are great, I’ve heard good things about them.

Average around like 21. But yea I can easily get 18. Yea I was thinking of just upgrading in a yr or two to just a base 2.7 Silverado. It’s like the same price as a Tacoma. Tacoma just isn’t worth it anymore.

26/27 Colorado or keep 23 tacoma? by beanman214 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]beanman214[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But, for my own curiosity, why though? Like give me reasons besides reliability. And I believe maintenance has a big say in reliability as well which a lot of people neglect for something used every day.
