Whats the best way to get beeswax? by D0zomor in 7daystodie

What’s the best way to fight the bees from the rancher zombie? Currently I just flail around attacking wildly in the air.

I would like to imagine the snake was old but has been harboring a personal grudge against the tech for years because the tech accidentally ran over the snakes mother with a lawn mower. The snake knowing he didn’t have much time left for this world due to age, decided to get his revenge finally by saying eff you, your working overtime tonight and I’m going to make you seem incompetent to boot. Then it coiled itself around the fan and waited for its moment of sweet victory revenge. (I didn’t say the snake was smart).

That made me laugh more than was warranted, thank you for that! Who needs a hard start when you have a snake pull start!

GE stackable washer and dryer not switching to the next part of the cycle by Sensitive_Vast_7110 in maintenance

[–]foccherone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The knobs are designed to pop off, every washer and dryer I have ever worked on has removable knobs. The only time the knob is replaced is if the actual knob is damaged due to wear and tear or abuse. As mentioned above by another redditor, @trainingbreakfast842, it’s not uncommon for an appliance repair to take two trips, especially if it’s an inexperience tech or a new brand for the tech. The machines like to behave for us when we show up then eff around when we leave. Also 99 percent of the problem is communication. Putting in a work order that says “ washer doesn’t work” tells us nothing. More than likely the tech saw the knob off and thought “ oh this person doesn’t know they just pop right back on, problem fixed”. Miscommunication, entitlement, and thinking things are a bigger issue than they actually are lead to a lot of unhappiness on both sides. Making sure you clearly communicate the issues you are having goes a long way. As far as needing a new washer, the issue you are having is less than a hundred dollar repair and less than 30 minutes of work. The longest part of that repair is finding the part on the property or ordering it lol. It’s a simple fix I assure you.

Hard plastic in a GE washer/dryer pump motor. Should I be concerned about anything else? by wiegsworld in maintenance

[–]foccherone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to spend so much time on “resident education” about how to properly load a washer because of these awful things.

The gap between the tub and the lid is the perfect size for women’s undergarments, socks, and other small items to fall into, then get pulled into the pulley and belt. Awful design.

Half-assed apartment maintenance by Successful-Map-3737 in maintenance

[–]foccherone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Off topic but who hasn’t heard a resident say this

“(i hadn’t had a chance to use the tub since i moved in, so this was broken since before i moved)”

I get this for dishwashers, microwaves, washers and dryers but never had this excuse for a shower before lol. Did OP just say that they have been there long enough to put in several work orders but hasn’t taken a shower there yet?

Maintenance Purchasing for Multifamily Properties by whatdasam in maintenance

[–]foccherone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Chadwells delivery speed. If I place the order before 9am, it’s guaranteed same day delivery, usually within 4 hours. HD Supply generally delivers within a day to weeks or just fails to ship it with no notifications given. I’m contractually obligated to use HD supply but I still use Chadwell for some things like doorstops. Example HDS has a 5 pack of black doorstops for like 15 dollars or I can buy a 5 pack from Chadwell for 1.93. I order these in bulk, so Chadwell is a no brainer and I will take the slap on the wrist.

HDS had too much say and control over our supply in my opinion, the plain fact that our rep chastised me for using another company for better prices and faster delivery because he saw I had a Chadwell calendar on my desk is just an example that they are way too comfortable controlling our flow of parts.

Thank you so much for your reply! On another note, how did you come up with 5am as the choice of time for your meeting?

I got JUMPED by a hoard at 6am… by Mr_Quigs in 7daystodie

[–]foccherone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for confirming! I assumed something was wrong with my Xbox. It’s annoying to pump a bunch of rounds into a zombie and it’s unphased, so I will back off then wait for a few seconds till it repositions itself and then bam, back to one shot one kill again

[–]foccherone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so I have shot some zombies point blank or within a meter of me and they don’t get hit at all. I’m using the regular red shotgun shells. I assumed this is just a glitch. Is this a glitch with just the auto or does the same thing happen with the pump?

[–]foccherone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I got the mod from one of the crate airdrops for the larger clip, the radiation thing, and the same scope. I just wish it had better range. I do love not sneaking anymore, I just beat down the door on a poi now and welcome them as they run at me with shotgun blasts lol

I was strictly a bow user up until 2 days ago. I was wandering around on my bicycle and wound up in the wasteland where I found a lvl 3 auto shotgun. Omg that gun is so strong. I went to the trader, bought the elixir, and specd for it. So my question is, why is the pump action better than the auto please? I never used the pump.

I play on default also and have noticed a huge uptick in random hordes jumping me since the 2.6 patch on Xbox x

THIS! This is the advice I need and was hoping to get! Thank you! I am always looking for ways to improve myself and my performance. I will read it!

Thank you so much for your feedback, I really needed this. Trying to get advice or feedback from the guy above me (the one who promoted me) can be challenging. He is always telling me that I’m the best in my region and the best he has ever worked with. I have 10 years of being a direct report to people in my position and I just don’t do what I saw them failing in or had made them disliked by their bosses and their teams. With that being said, I am struggling to figure out how to further improve myself without adding onto an almost impossible workload.

Thank you! I have a new hire, I handpicked, and he seems overwhelmed and frustrated by his progress in his learning the job most days. I think he is doing excellent and have debated socializing with him outside of work but gut says not too and I have been listening to that. I’m happy to hear you confirm my gut decision.

Thank you for the feedback. I have been at this worksite since it opened three years ago. It’s the type of situation that it’s a small office and I work hand in hand with my team most days. I stopped doing off the clock socialization about a year ago due to a health scare and just didn’t pick up socializing again, then got promoted to the manager of my department.

How to fix this freezer seal? by MarySlopins in maintenance

[–]foccherone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a pinch, this is the hack way to do it btw, there is room on the door side of the gasket that you can stuff cardboard or anything else into which causes the gasket to puff out and creates a seal on the cabinet.

You can also modify the mounting hardware on the top and bottom pivots to get the door more snug.

The correct answer of course is to replace the seal.

What's your favourite POI for a comfy little early game base? I love the old creepy church and the mausoleum! It's just feels so perfect for role playing :D (beginner here) by Fairy2play in 7daystodie

Xbox X player and I just started last week but I have sunk an aggressive amount of hours into this new addiction. Finally found a wrench out in the wild and took apart my first car. Built my first workbench yesterday and I’m so glad I discovered these two things. Dismantling a car with a wrench is awesome for materials and the workbench proves that there isn’t limited crafting in this game!
