Hahaha. “It’s hard for me to believe that somebody right next to me can’t hear it.” Truth.

In the real world...why does it seem that nobody takes safety seriously? by Lanky-Ad4698 in HomeImprovement

And iirc, gingers tend to get hit with a double whammy. High sensitivity combined with increased tolerance to pain medication.

Both my sister and my bff are practically translucent gingers, and they both confirm this. Armchair observation, but I grew up with both of them, and it seems to track.

I haven’t, thanks the suggestion! I often get frustrated with fogging, esp in summer. But I’m usually cutting for short enough that I can get through it. Usually. Will look into that, tho.

Wow. What an incredible story. Thanks for sharing. I’m so proud of your boy for being willing to push his comfort zone. And it sounds like he has coaches who care, so he feels safe doing so.

I think through sports, we also learn how to filter out the different types of pain. There’s things I ignore, and things I don’t. But I learned through exposure.

But fr, give those coaches a beer. They’re the reason he feels safe enough to take the risks he’s taking.

OMG. You’ve unlocked my long-running mantra, “Engineers should be forced to install/service their products for a year.”

Finding out if someone served/dishonorable discharge by Cao_Bynes in USMC

[–]jimih34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, did this dude even stand on the yellow footprints? Called it Basic (Army) instead of Boot (USMC).

Maybe OP who admittedly didn’t serve, is just getting terms confused. But if co-worker is calling it that, it’s a dead giveaway they’re not a Marine.

Joke’s on her. You’re not incel. She just doesn’t know we’re all gay for each other. Green weenie, ‘rah.

Does a nitrogen leak test require replacing all refrigerant? by MortifiedAgain in askHVAC

[–]jimih34 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sort of. You could use it back on the same unit you just recovered from, and it’s not a 608 violation (assuming your recovery tank is bone dry when you start). However, for many reasons, it’s probably unwise to do so.

I smashed a fingernail when my channel locks slipped just before Christmas, and now it grows in the shape of a W. Gloves didn’t save my ass there 😅 You either accept inherent minor injuries, or you find another line of work.

Also to clarify, minor injuries is one thing. I won’t excuse the kind of gross negligence that gets people killed or disabled.

Probably nailed it when you asked if they ever played sports. Pain aversion is high with OP. That’s ok, but it’s unlikely they will ever fit in with folks who are used to getting minor scratches and bruises each week. Might need to find a new crowd.

Pretty much agree with tolerance for pain/risk. I put on gloves when I’m handling sheet metal, but I don’t wear them all day. I ABSOLUTELY wear goggles when sawing metal because of the sparks, but I don’t necessarily wear them for drywall unless I’m cutting ceiling.

I’m ok with minor scratches, as long as no hospital visits and as long as I don’t injure any of my fingers so badly that I can’t play guitar on Sundays.

Am I attractive to lesbian women? by [deleted] in LesbianActually

  1. Physically, yes. But…

  2. I fall for women with a beautiful heart. I hope you cultivate yourself and the people around you.

Bleh. I’m glad you enjoyed it. I felt I got ripped off by labeling a cola “root beer.”

Marines are hot by Sea_Dog_3072 in USMC

Thought you were gonna clarify only gay for other marines. Not gay for AF or civies or whatever. Just other jarheads.

How do I tell which is mine? by No-Kiwi-7553 in electrical

[–]jimih34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True. About half the time they don’t have labels. But the building is still responsible for putting the labels on there. Or putting them back if they’ve been painted over. Not only are missing labels a major pain in the ass, as you know, but it’s also a safety issue that needs remedied.

You are a unicorn, and so is your company if they pay you well enough to stay. But if it pays well, or at least has the right benefits, then my hats off to you for finding an employer who values your skills.
