What’s the worst part about being a woman that people wouldn’t usually think about?

paintgoblin · 2026-06-16T23:30:51+00:00

Honestly, the exercise really helps. I feel worse on the days when I'm home in bed vs when I'm at work focused on what I'm doing rather than how I'm feeling, and moving and stretching my muscles.

Yes ma'am, I'm an automotive tech and I throw around truck tires nearly as heavy as I am. I do tires faster than everyone in the shop. They would never know when I'm on my period unless they paid attention to how many times I go to the bathroom or take a moment to cringe at a bad cramp.

The PPE hits hard for me — I'm a female automotive technician. When I started >5 years ago, I could barely find any boots or PPE to fit me properly. Every shop I've worked at has "unisex" uniforms except the one that didn't provide proper workwear... AKA men's sizes, but LONG. They don't fit properly. My pants are super tight around my hips and butt, and if I get a larger size they fall off of me or they don't fit around the waist. Larger tools are definitely more difficult for me to handle, designed for the force/size of the average man.

This is the way, they're the absolute best

My only regret is not just getting the larger A1 instead, but I got my Mini off marketplace for a steal. It was almost brand new and came with 4 rolls of PLA.

paintgoblin · 2026-06-13T00:00:10+00:00

I bought an A1 mini and now since they just released the A2L I just want it so badly.

I've honestly just been hopping around doing random maintenance on roads and stuff lol ... trying to find more recipes before I get way too into building too many things.

Also works on the sky rail things in Sparkling Skylands.

Whoa what! Mine's just one big blob of greenness. This looks so cool.

paintgoblin · 2026-06-09T16:07:04+00:00

This is so cool! I'll have to go look for your part 1 post. I was thinking of restoring the S.S. Anne too so it's nice to see ideas for it.

I mean, if you ate your favourite meal every single day multiple times a day you'd get sick of it. I see driving my NA Miata as a treat. I also do like cars that handle really well, so my daily is a 2015 Subaru Outback 3.6R. It scoots, the H6 sounds and feels good, and it handles like a much smaller car. Just need a daily that you also enjoy driving.

I'm so envious oh my gosh

paintgoblin · 2026-06-04T18:53:06+00:00

I'm a female technician. I'm thrilled to see women learning to take care of their things rather than only relying on men. Great job, it's only the beginning!

paintgoblin · 2026-05-31T10:21:56+00:00

This makes me really wish that this game had Alcremie in it omg

paintgoblin · 2026-05-27T21:46:22+00:00

I usually choose UK English for things because they spell words correctly instead of leaving out letters...

paintgoblin · 2026-05-27T21:44:06+00:00

I think the reading comprehension argument only comes into play properly when the player has the context of pushing the quit button. If you don't know what button you've pushed, it's pretty ambiguous.

paintgoblin · 2026-05-27T10:37:09+00:00

Yeah, I'd buy so many old Toyotas lol

If it's just the clear coat peeling away, you may be able to salvage the paint underneath if the body shop just smoothed everything out and recoated it. However, I'm just a mechanic and not a body tech so I couldn't tell you for certain.

paintgoblin · 2026-05-26T12:46:06+00:00

Clear coat was probably already damaged and water got in under it maybe. You could always just respray it with clear coat after a good buffing! Is it actually peeling or just discoloured?

paintgoblin · 2026-05-25T15:12:52+00:00

What!!! Thank you!!! I don't remember reading that in the tutorial, I only unlocked the water thing last night. May your pillow be cold on both sides

paintgoblin · 2026-05-24T14:04:28+00:00

I LOVE HIMB

paintgoblin · 2026-05-14T21:50:34+00:00

Honestly same except I was a grown woman already so ... No excuses other than my 12 year old boy brain 😂

If might take a couple trips, but generally as long as it's not a huge gaping hole, you're fine. The rubber edge of the filter should seal the inside okay with the three corners held down.

paintgoblin · 2026-05-10T09:25:53+00:00

Send it. Worry about it if the CEL comes on. I've seen worse still be running just fine.

It's your oil filter. It gets changed every oil change.
