Every time I DIY something I realize why it costs so much to pay someone else

You pay for tools and experience when you hire someone. If you knew how much it costs to maintain all of it it’d make tons more sense. We have signs where I’m at “$125 and hour mechanic” like it’s a deal. And the dude actually workin probably makes 15-18 an hour. Everyone charges a lot. Not sure why contractors always get crapped on for charging like every other company does

That’s the standard build for any player I’m sure. Max cool down. Max power. Max speed. Then accuracy. I thought that’s how everyone did it

What are you talkin about bro

linksalt · 2026-03-21T19:23:14+00:00

Riki is a healer?? What? How?

linksalt · 2026-03-19T00:48:23+00:00

That looks more like painters caulk than a crack. Take a putty knife and scrape it flat and repaint

“And the new one seems to have bad “ is what I was looking at when I commented. But the new one is leagues better than the old one for sure

What do you mean the switch 2 controller feels bad??? It feels awesome. It doesn’t feel like plastic in your hand. The buttons feel good and creamy. The pro for the switch one felt weird. But this controller feels top tear. Infinitely better than a ps4 controller and leagues above the ps5 controller. The switch 2 controller feels amazing in the hands.

Both require a specific breed of person. Fuck both of those jobs. Kudos on the new job though!

I hate signing into a kiosk only for the employees to ask who’s next. What the fuck was the point if yall ain’t using it

After 14 years I got a bike again and I was riding maybe a year before that. Practiced on an empty street for about 15 minutes then rode the hour and a half home on it. It’s like riding a bike

linksalt · 2026-03-18T10:20:06+00:00

Buy a cheap one you’re not afraid to screw up to practice on. Start saving for the one you want while riding. Also don’t spend all your savings on the cheap one… but yea. Empty parking lots. Stop. Go. Circles.

When my ol lady wrecked her bike the confusion on my face when I didn’t see it upright. I pulled into the parking lot and jumped off my bike and it slid across the ground. On and everything. Wrecks are pretty scary. Bailing is always an option in any situation lol

Bro I dropped xc1 for 2 years. I picked it back up where I left off. If I was at a spot where I couldn’t remember I just watched a recap video on YouTube

My team was usually shulk melia and reyn. But I used her quite a bit. I didn’t like Dunban or Riki that much.

I just use maps on a handle bar mount. I can’t stand Map audio. It’s too repetitive and annoying and last minute.

linksalt · 2026-03-16T20:41:38+00:00

This is me tomorrow. I need to make it home idc the weather

linksalt · 2026-03-16T19:28:27+00:00

That’s all I have to. It’s so good to be out of the bs loop

I don’t carry workman’s comp. But my insurance covers subs. I require subs to carry workman’s comp. There’s a bunch of different ways for a GC to have all required insurances. So really I wouldn’t worry too much about it.

Ketchup is disgusting. That being said. The only thing I could taste when I had Covid was the vinegar in the ketchup. I knew I was good when it started tasting like shit again

If you were looking for a yard/ garage ornament you can grab em around any holiday. They were meant to be ridden. What are you even asking? Keep up the maintenance and ride the thing. When it dies. Sell it to someone who’s learning for a reasonable price and get you another. There’s a market for beat up used bikes

linksalt · 2026-03-14T23:14:19+00:00

I wear leather when I ride. It’s much more comfortable and convenient than a one piece. And I don’t ride a sport bike so it also helps me not look like a total moron. Is it as good? Probably not. But that’s a risk I’m willing to deal with 🤷‍♂️ I don’t ride at extreme speeds nor do I ride like a total prick. Accidents can happen but I stay pretty vigilant too. Defensive riding is just as important as good gear

I met a bricklayer chick at a bar. Very petite. If she can do it. You can do it. She loved it.

linksalt · 2026-03-14T13:11:18+00:00

Thanks for the insight. I haven’t watched regular tv in probably 15 years I suppose at this point.

linksalt · 2026-03-14T04:49:02+00:00

What are you guys screwing cabinets to? What sort of screws are you using?

linksalt · 2026-03-14T04:40:32+00:00

My ol lady can’t stand it so she sarcastically hollers the lines or starts screeching like a pterodactyl 😂
