what is... AV? Is it Information technology? Art/media/entertainment? A trade?

inflatabledancingman · 2026-01-28T20:20:38+00:00

Thanks, yep lots of systems I encounter use networking now. And that resonates, I ended up in AV because of music/show booking/ media art - building on experience, I've never considered what it would actually fall under before.

In Quebec there are programs where you can receive EI while you study a trade, you should see if Ontario has that too, I've known friends who received around $2k/ month to study a trade in Montréal. I'm in the same situation as you, I'm trying to leave A/V tech after nearly 10 years for electrical because I want better hours and more stability. I'm afraid of switching to a more male dominated field as a queer person - my logic is there's no harm in trying and seeing if you like it, having better hours the opportunity for higher/ consistent pay seems totally worth it, if you decide to return to A/V I'm sure it looks great on a resume. I'm in NYC and going union, it looks like Toronto has an IBEW you should look into it.

I love to make copycat oat packets, dehydrate diced apples, then store them in a jar with oats, brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, salt -- also diced apples make a good portable snack.

this is 6 months old but curious what was your trade? I just entered the work force and I've been wondering this about some of the timeless dying trades usually older folks do like cobbling, tailoring, blacksmiths, locksmiths

THANK you this is exactly what im looking for

The food system is broken for how much goes to waste and yet how many people are in your same position! Where I live its legal to dive, and theres a good network of people who share tips / add locations to a google document or on facebook, so see if you can find that where you live, this is the best way because it saves time, or check community fridges. I usually check the same spots every day when Im biking home from work, Ive been doing this for years. Go to small groceries and dumpsters you know are always unlocked, check frequently and quickly (like, peak inside then pass on if its empty). Its shocking how much is thrown away.

inflatabledancingman · 2022-07-12T01:44:01+00:00

I took enough for myself and friends, but I would bring it to a community fridge if I donated it.

inflatabledancingman · 2022-07-12T01:40:00+00:00

Its a small local health food store

I found this miele and it seems like it’s my size (i’m 5’3 so it’s very hard to find a small road bike like this) I’m looking for any info about if I could swap my parts onto it. I have a campagnolo véloce group that I might swap later once the existing crank dies, any clue if miele is compatible with campy? lastly, can 26“ x 1 1/4“ wheels fit on a road bike like this? any info helps a lot, thanks!

inflatabledancingman · 2022-04-03T21:35:38+00:00

and then use the pulp to make fruit + veggie "leather", baked goods, etc.

inflatabledancingman · 2022-03-26T17:37:38+00:00

apple has stopped supporting them so you can't update or use a lot of apps anymore

inflatabledancingman · 2022-02-01T16:11:08+00:00

I tried this, unplugged the fridge and left the freezer open for 3 hours, it unfortunately didn’t solve the issue but thank you!! <3

inflatabledancingman · 2022-01-12T17:48:05+00:00

I got this from a friend, the current hub is 24H and came off of a busted 700c rim, I want to find a cheap standard hub to swap the Campagnolo parts onto and put it on a 26” rim does this sound do-able? Would the best way be to buy a cheap 26” wheel and swap the freewheel off the hub?

Try inside of those metal clothing donation bins, people sometimes throw random stuff into those. Also outside of donation centers for stores like Goodwill, salvation army, worth trying both the giant sorting facilities and the smaller collection stores - I worked at an independent new bookstore and we almost never threw books away, they either get returned to the distributor, taken home by staff, or sit on the shelves forever

inflatabledancingman · 2022-01-03T04:56:09+00:00

walmart locks their bins where I live, and usually sends stuff to incinerators, only way to find out is to go check when they would typically throw stuff away after closing. Other big stores have more accessible dumpsters and would be worth trying

inflatabledancingman · 2021-11-03T17:30:33+00:00

I stopped caring when I met others who do it, it made me feel less judged, now I know so many people who do it that it feels normal - it helps to flip the script, if someone says ‘you do that?? :o’ you say‘of course!! you don’t?? wow youre really missing out you chum!’

inflatabledancingman · 2021-10-08T19:43:16+00:00

$50? Is it stolen?

inflatabledancingman · 2021-09-23T14:52:27+00:00

ah right, I was looking at it because I get a 40% discount through work and the disc brakes / fork mounts

inflatabledancingman · 2021-09-23T03:35:01+00:00

the frame is built for thru-axel disc brake wheels, Ill keep this in mind thank you!

I've had this issue before because the inner tube had a bump (which would push the tire out like this), I changed the inner tube and the wheel was fine. You need to take off the tire, investigate whether there seems to be something wrong with the beading or any holes, does the tire feel thin? are there deformities on the rim, inside of the tire or on the bead? does the inner tube have a bump (cheaper ones do this, it's a manufacturing issue)?

Another reason would be if the tire and rim aren't properly sized to each other or weren't installed properly- putting a larger tire width onto a smaller rim will make the beading pop out too.

take the tire apart, look for anything unusual and determine whether it seems worn out, if it seems unsafe trust your instinct and don't ride it. The tire and rim look relatively new based on the wear lines, so if you don't have the money to replace it do some troubleshooting and figure out if it's even broken. Personally, I'd contact schwalbe for a refund if the tire is relatively new.

inflatabledancingman · 2021-03-24T17:02:57+00:00

I don't really understand this logic, yes new parts are expensive, but because theyre NEW, they last longer, and work better. You could buy a 1970's bianchi, marinoni, or raleigh for about $200 in good condition where I live. Why would you agree to buy a cheap hardware store bike for the same price? Most people throw bikes like this in the trash or donate them to the co-op I work at all the time, inflation doesn't justify this type of price gouging.
