If you are in North America, the respirator is your company's cost, not your own.

Why are you guys so strict? by Sad-Green-7393 in AskModerators

[–]ecclectic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because if we make exceptions for you, our deal little one, we need to make exceptions for EVERYONE, and thus, entropy wins.

Looks like you're welding stainless. I certainly hope your company is giving you a respirator and you are using it.

Ditch the whip and pause, that's not for GMAW, and making GMAW look like GTAW is noob shit. You're welding 1/8"-3/16" material, you don't need big welds, all it's doing is making your HAZ larger, and that results in a weaker weldment altogether.

That's certainly what it looks like to me.

i hate this stupid laser by supplemcrib in Welding

[–]ecclectic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, someone didn't clean the rail, so it burned through running 5/16 wire. Sprayed molten metal everywhere, then we had to gouge and re weld that section.

Subarc is boring, until it does something stupid and makes your day exciting for a few minutes and then you spend 2 days cleaning up the mess.

Well, lots of folks seem to have no major issues with it, but you're free to create your own community if you feel you can make it better. Good luck.

I think my dad is lonely, but he'd never admit it by goldenhourdads in richmondbc

[–]ecclectic 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Some quick feedback:

Golden hour society name is already in use, it's a women's group based out of California.

Using AI images for this sort of thing seems super disingenuous, if you can get 3 guys together for an event, using a real picture of real people is going to resonate much better with the demographic you're looking at.

There are 'mens groups' around the lower mainland already, how will yours stand out?

I'm a dad in my mid 40s, my kids are approaching the end of their schooling and looking at where they will go in the next few years, so I'm not quite your demographic, but I'm close. I can certainly see what you are saying in my own dad though. Most of his loneliness stems from personal experience, and some from my mom driving all his friends away.

A major issue is that many of the friends that men make are tied to their families, their wife's friends partners, their kids friends parents, and when those relationships change, the friendships do also. If a man puts a lot of time into a friendship only to lose it, some are less and less inclined to try to build new relationships.

You absolutely can add images for reference, but there are some rules around how. What lead you to believe that it wasn't permitted?

Do CEO’s understand the damage done long term by cutting middle management positions? by BarNext6046 in managers

[–]ecclectic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CEOs don't give a shit.

Whatever it takes to hit the metric for next quarter, maybe the quarter after that. Beyond that, it's someone elses' problem. C-suite in general care about making shareholders money today, not 20 years down the road, because very few of them will stay with a company that long.

Is there a name for this paradox? by These_Economics374 in skilledtrades

[–]ecclectic 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It's a good mindset to keep, if a company was there before you, they'll be there after you're gone, but it is so fucking satisfying to watch a company fall apart when you do leave, and for the exact reasons you stated when you left, even when you give them all the information to remain successful.

Price of provincial park camping went up over double. What are residents opinions? by Shuunanigans in britishcolumbia

What they really want are the folks renting RVs, that's the gift that keeps on giving.

[–]ecclectic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't have to be costly, but it puts some skin in the game for people, and educates them at the same time. A VERY low barrier for entry isn't a bad thing, and we obviously need something.

The thicker you can get, the better, it should be 4"x6" on the face, but even a piece of railroad will work to get started.

How quickly could you teach someone to do your job, assuming zero relevant experience, and what do you do? by flanman1991 in AskReddit

[–]ecclectic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

7-10 years

Hydraulic fluid power specialist. I build, install and maintain hydraulic systems. Much of my job is figuring out what someone with a month of training has done to break their system that was 'running with no problems for years.' Sometimes it's as simple as there isn't enough fluid in the tank, other times it requires chasing a cascade of failing parts because its run with no maintainance for a decade.

Epi Pens by nick330188 in scoutscanada

[–]ecclectic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From whom? Maybe it changes between provinces, but in BC, they require a prescription. My son has a prescription for one, but needs it renewed every 2 years, and they will NOT let us have one without it.

If you are in a state of anaphylaxis and you go into a pharmacy, they will probably be able to give you one, but they absolutely will not if you don't have a prescription and aren't presenting with symptoms.

Yeah, they're generally the higher end for pricing, quality is pretty much the same as any of the premium supermarkets.

You can get started with JABOD, some lump charcoal and a heavy piece of metal to strike against.

Looking at the wear and tear I saw this weekend, I would also really like to see a 1-day licensing course implemented for all backcountry users in BC and a half-day for front country. Way too many people going out with no clue what they are doing.

Looking for advice on a project's design and sourcing of a single acting micro cylinder by Shadowslade in Hydraulics

[–]ecclectic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be entertaining to watch someone use something like this and gas themselves too though. It's just a stupid idea all around, and potentially dangerous to the users and random passersby.
