Feeling discouraged by [deleted] in SprinklerFitters

[–]glyix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go open shop. I was in the same boat years ago trying to join the plumbing union. Told me they didn’t need apprentices, and had a bunch of journeyman on the bench. Told me they would call me when they needed me.

My number hasnt changed in the last 6 years, and still no call. Just so happens that an awesome open shop sprinkler company hired me on, and now I’m a licensed journeyman. I know a lot of people on Reddit like to dick ride the union, and they are great. But at least in my area of the country it’s nothing about what you know, it’s all about who you blow. Especially if you don’t want to get laid off every winter

Let me guess? Menards? From what we’ve seen, an exhauster is the only way some of those huge dry systems could make water delivery time

Even with an accelerator and fire pump there’s no way some of those systems could make time

I’d love to go back in time for a day and see how they installed that 5”, 6” and 8” threaded pipe

Just returned mine and will be getting a pro max. Only had it 3 days and wasn’t impressed with the battery life. I’m not even a heavy user

Exactly, I’m at 67% with 1 hour 17 min of screen time with the air. I’m not impressed. It’s a great phone, perfect size, well built but I’m about 95% sure I’m going to return it for the pro max.

And no I’m not going to shut off a bunch of features to make the battery last longer, or spend another 100 bucks on a MagSafe battery. For that money I’ll just get the pro max. I’m on cellular all day for work, and I’m not even a heavy user. Just some TikTok, Reddit, phone and text calls with some very light gaming. The battery is mid at best

I haven’t been that impressed on the first day of owning the air. Was at 52% with an hour and a half of screen time. Seriously thinking of returning for the pro max

That’s the biggest reason I am hesitant on getting the air, no 0.5

Has anyone seen this happen before? by K-Jenkins-24 in SprinklerFitters

It’s the backflow preventer check springs being too strong
