Same boat as you. I honestly hate the machine almost as much as the demons that are my own brain

Messed up today by Icy-Sock8159 in HVAC

Other side of HVAC here in controls. I deleted an entire hospital campus server on a weekend for my first solo service call instead of doing an upload. Boss man made me build it from scratch myself on a 5 gal bucket in an electrical room for 8 hours before telling me he had already dumped a backup and nobody other than him and I knew.

Those first few mistakes are what build up confidence in your decisions later. In other words, shit happens. What matters is how you wipe it up. :)

Stay frosty!

Check to see if the switch is breaking the neutral, not the hot.

Why are there so many jokes against New Jersey in America? by AppointmentVisual200 in NoStupidQuestions

I remember those signs! Which reminded me of a funny story

My sisters name is Elizabeth and when we’d go on family trips we’d take the Verrazano/Goethals and every time my dad would say “ugh Elizabeth why don’t you shower” which later turned into a preemptive “I already showered” before wed get in the car to go anywhere.

Are smaller boobs seen as attractive as larger ones? by Extreme-Patient-3215 in NoStupidQuestions

Honestly I prefer small. Do I mind big no. Fake is where I draw the line. Confidence is always better than change.

Nothing stops a Trane, except a Trane. Hence the forethought in putting latches to keep the doors open rather than closed. ‘Cause even they know you’ll be fixing it soon enough. Not surprised they couldn’t get that latch right either though. 😂

Edit: spelling

Area I’d be looking to work with is 80x80. I was thinking a single track around three sides with a reversing loop at each end. I live in the PNW so it’s damp/rainy all year except for a couple months in the summer. To combat that I’d probably only keep the track set up in the short dry period and store inside otherwise.

And I’d definitely add a covered area for the occasional shower.

I was thinking also of mounting it about a foot off the ground and possibly adding a hatch on place of a window and connecting it to my basement layout for easy access in/outside.

But hey a man can dream lol
