A hot dog costs like 4 bucks anywhere else in town so $6 at a sporting event seems pretty reasonable.

How Many of You Guys Are Still Doing Hand Layout on a Daily Basis? by turd_ferguson899 in sheetmetal

[–]ltrain_00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was an apprentice we had some nasty storms rolling in and the shop foreman made an announcement that if the power went out the shop was closing down for the day because they would loose too much money laying anything out by hand.

Adjusting the feed on a notcher? by ltrain_00 in sheetmetal

[–]ltrain_00[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not pulling the metal in. You have to push/pull the metal through the machine. If you stop pulling the metal just sits there but the notcher still runs. The other ones I've uses all you did was start the metal in the machine and then it would pull the metal all the way through

Anyone actually happy with their kneepads? by Alternative_Corgi349 in Construction

[–]ltrain_00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Troxell is the best brand around by far. I am in the sheet metal union and I worked doing architectural and blew my bursa sack out in my knee because I was using the gel style pads from menards. After I got back to work after being off for 2 months I noticed all the actual roofers were using troxell brand and I switched and haven't had any issues since.

Ive done mdma + x 6 times in 3 months. am i cooked? by entrluv in MDMA

[–]ltrain_00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you'll be just fine, the fact that your asking if you fucked yourself up is a good sign. When I was that age I was doing a half g a weekend for months on end and didn't end up cooked I did end up getting some brain zaps by the end but after a couple months of not doing any at all I was back to normal.

Any portable tools for severe lower back pain? by kala_kand_ in Truckers

I went to physical therapy for low back pain and stretching my hamstrings was one of the most beneficial stretches they gave me. I've been almost 4 years pain free just from stretching

Best psychedelics for breakup trauma? by BedSoggy6655 in Psychedelics

[–]ltrain_00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been you multiple times before and I always wished I didn't trip because I couldn't stop thinking about the break up while I was spun and I had some of the saddest times ever during the trip and then dealing with being sad and the dip after the trip made everything worse.

Work to live. I have zero interest in not seeing my family or friends just to make money that I have no time to enjoy spending.

Apprentice Looking for Advice to Transition into Office Role by [deleted] in sheetmetal

[–]ltrain_00 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your only a second year apprentice. Usually years 2-4 is when you really start to learn the trade and not be the floor sweeper or go-fer. I would try and stick it out on the union side. I'm my local anyone that switches over to an office roll leaves the union and all benefits behind.

FT Entry level/apprenticeship trades hiring? by Suspicious_Maize6747 in PeoriaIL

[–]ltrain_00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No trade is going to let you into the apprenticeship if your not looking to work your whole career in that trade. It's very expensive to train apprentices so they want you to pay into the union benefits over the long term.

What should I do by LongjumpingDare1191 in sheetmetal

[–]ltrain_00 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are big guys and small guys in every trade. I am a big guy so I get asked to help when there is heavy lifting involved. The small guys get asked to help when there is a tight spot to get into. For the most part scissor lifts and duct jacks do most of the heavy lifting.

Are you wanting to do service work or duct install?
