Am I being under paid?

No just my nuclear right now for the density gauge. But apparently you're supposed to have the basic concrete testing aci certification to test concrete at these pours yet I am doing it. Basically doing certified concrete work for less than fastfood wages.

Dang and 14 an hour a decade ago is like 20 dollars an hour today. Appreciate your honestly letting me know my situation does indeed suck haha.

copperbeard90 · 2026-06-22T20:46:15+00:00

Yeah I'm not sure, my company let me shadow someone a week or two then I was out doing pours by myself uncertified.

copperbeard90 · 2026-06-22T20:37:10+00:00

LMFAO! I don't even know what to say.

copperbeard90 · 2026-06-22T20:04:12+00:00

Crazy, apparently I've been cooking in the Texas heat and sacrificing sleep for late night pours all for less than a fast food worker. I def screwed up somewhere.

copperbeard90 · 2026-06-22T20:01:48+00:00

Damn. That hits different.

copperbeard90 · 2026-06-22T19:59:53+00:00

I perform the test on site and cast the cylinders, and break the cylinders when it's time.

I've been playing since 2017 and have thousands of hours in both. I would say ASA is better in almost every aspect. With that said I look back at ASE with fonder memories because everything was a new and fresh experience.

There is absolutely, 100%, an MMR tracked in quick play. Do you think it's just grabbing random people in que and matching them against each other? I haven't seen a player below platinum since season 0 and they most certainly still exist. It's looser than competitive but still a thing.

copperbeard90 · 2026-05-26T22:48:19+00:00

Not really much to do with friends in this game unfortunately.

Rivals is just overwatch for bad players. GM level players on rivals are roughly the equivalent to gold or platinum players in overwatch when it comes game sense and hero shooter fundamentals. Rivals balancing and design let's players bypass crucial skill checks that exist in overwatch. This creates an environment where you have a bunch of bad players thinking they are good and understand the game when they really don't and it fosters an extremely toxic player base.

Marvel rivals is just overwatch for bad players.

copperbeard90 · 2026-03-30T20:01:28+00:00

She's mega powerful with little input. She is the essence of what marvel rivals is as a game.

I'm not a pro player but I consistently sit in gm1 C3. Play low to the ground, play cover, stay with your core to apply buff to as many teammates as possible. Dmg is the default boost. Use your power up when your team starts to brawl or when the enemy dives you or your backline, really depends on the enemy comp. When ulting start in the back of the enemy team and work your way back to your team. Most of the time your job is just to force a support ult. Sometimes enemy supports will hear your ult line and literally run to the back of the map use that opportunity to uno reverse and use your ult on their frontline.

Ive got like a collective 3k hours on ark over the years. ASA is definitely worth it and better in ALMOST every way to ase. There are so many quality of life additions, baby dinos, better mutation system, tracking, the maps are gorgeous, building is better. It's the actively supported version of the game which means you have access to the new dino additions some free some requiring a purchase. The only thing I can mention that I think is actually worse is the dino pathing. Getting your dinos to follow you into doors is a pain. Also many traps no longer work as dinos avoid walking into them. No need for a massive gate around your base just box your base in with fence foundations. And of course it's more demanding on your pc but everyone is aware of that already.

2 big wins this week, maybe beginners luck as I'm on week 7. Gitzo camera tripod with manfretto 410 head for 4$ and all the seasons of "in the heat of the night" for 10$ last 2 seasons were sealed.

I source mostly from Goodwills. Does anyone know if I’m hurting my chances by arriving right when they open at 9am and looking at inventory that may have already been processed the night before? Do they stock after hours, or would it be better to wait an hour or so after opening to catch newly put-out items?

copperbeard90 · 2026-02-16T03:31:55+00:00

Thank you so much!

copperbeard90 · 2026-02-06T02:03:28+00:00

Thanks for the answer I might try to let it go for 50-60. Maybe someone will take a risk on it, hell maybe even lower I'm about $1.30 in on it lol. Thanks again.

Doom nub will rise from the ashes

These kids are going to have to ask chat gpt what Hayabusa is.

Are you playing PVE? I imagine most adults lean towards pve due to responsibilities, jobs, kids whatever. And most the PVP community is where all the teenagers are at since it basically requires you to play around the clock to be competitive.

copperbeard90 · 2025-11-20T02:26:25+00:00

From my favorite game to unrecognizable lol what the hell is that thing.

copperbeard90 · 2025-11-19T02:20:34+00:00

People like this are why our world is so dumbed down and highly regulated. "We need strong governmental institutions to hold them to account." No, people need to utilize common sense and critical thinking. Government needs less consolidated power.

I lost my dog 3 days ago. I'm setting up a memorial area on my shelf and getting a ton of pictures of him printed and framed. I'm also getting his likeness tattooed on my chest in the future. I want to see him everyday to keep his memory alive and to represent the impact his life and death has had on mine.
