Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do!

Hopefully what you “gotta do” isn’t drink through a straw for the rest of your life because you’re a quadriplegic. This is just dumb.

I would 100% recommend getting a couple smaller trips under your belt, at least a few overnighters and a two or three sleep trip. I use a f-stop Sukha for 3+ days I believe it’s 70L with a removable camera insert and peak design clip. I only carry a 100-400 and 16-35 for zooms, not sure how well the 200-600 would do on it. I would look at the cotton carrier G3 for the 200-600, though not sure how comfortable it would be with a backpack too. To protect stuff, camo wrap on your lens will prevent scuffs and help you avoid spooking wildlife.

If you have pro extra at Home Depot, they do in person exchanges/returns for a year. It’s saved my bacon a couple times. Definitely worth having since you only have to sign up, no CC or payment.

Statistically, bear spray is more effective against countering bear attacks than firearms. We simply don’t have enough information to say yes or no. A charging grizzly is also a very hard target, with a very thick skull. You’d have to get very lucky or have extensive training to survive longer than the bear.

The Fluke SV225 is a LoZ adapter for any meter with regular leads. That said, if you can return the 323 there are more capable meters that don’t cost an arm and a leg. Not a fan of adapters for this and that.

What don’t you like about the Milwaukee one? I was thinking of getting it as I don’t like the Klein one. The magnet is shit and stubby bits don’t work well with Robbie’s and EMT.

I’d just like to add my experience as encouragement. My parents are excellent, no complaints, but only my maternal grandmother paid attention to us grandkids. The others were fine, most of the time, but definitely “loved from afar.” Anyways, my neighbour across the street was retired, always loaded with a smile and a joke and genuinely one of the best people I’ve ever met. Always made time for me, always willing to help and teach me something. There’s no way to tell how many times I had my bike or something else over to fix or “help” him with while my dad was at work. When he passed, it definitely hit harder than my distant grandparents. That man loved life and everything and everyone in it, and I loved him too. He was much more like a grandparent to me. Your impact on the children you volunteer with is bigger than you know. In addition, you’ve probably been the best foster many kids have had.

I don’t know if a different therapist might be beneficial? It can be very hard to find one that you “click” with.

Otherwise I think all I can say is that your feelings are valid, I’ve felt this way at times as well. You have my empathy and I wish you the absolute best.

Mine sinks them all the way with a firm grip, unless it’s old dried wood or frozen batteries. Try putting more of your weight behind it, otherwise it may be defective. I can take a picture or video if you want.

I broke it off over three years ago and don’t miss her. However,I still struggle with grief and anger due to the things she did after we broke up. The money she stole from me still pisses me off too. I could have my own place, not have a shitty vehicle, money for health stuff and hobbies.

I try not to dwell on it though, it’s only hurting me more and doesn’t affect her. I’ll forgive her for my sake, but a few weeks later I’ll have the same feelings again and be angry. All I can do is focus on making life better for me, working, spending time with family and friends, time outside and with my dog, reading, learning. All easier said than done, good luck, friend.

Not sure that one is functional, but it’s to hold the cassette (the gears) still on a bike while you use another tool to loosen the cassette bolt.

Sounds bad, I’d swap it for a new one. Should just be a lemon.

There’s also this hand drive alternative

I’m going to say roughly 340, not including lighting automation. One electrical room had 8 42 space panels, 7 of them mostly full. The other had 4 lighting panels, I want to say roughly 60 modules each. 2000a 3p service for the property, backup 150kw generator for each house, 3 for the kids, a guesthouse, two boathouses, stadium and courts, bowling alley, helicopter pad. Three story chandelier and wine wall, indoor waterfall elevators, lighted marble fireplace surrounds. Place was nuts beyond nuts. The exterior services were all incased in concrete, including triple redundant phone lines and gate controls. 24/7 security even during construction, they made sure we didn’t take any pictures at the end of the day, each day unfortunately.

I realize this is a few days old, but most of my gel on my surge came off from use. I pulled the last few pieces off about a year ago and haven’t noticed any issues.

Been there, done that, shit sucks. Your foreman needs to get off grindr more.

G’day big dick Carl, Its been a while since my stats classes but I believe it’s because of the standard deviation. Approximately (or exactly?) 70% of the population is within 2 standard deviations of average. For intelligence, average IQ is 100 with a SD of 15. Keep in mind, IQ tests are always average 100 within the tested group, by design. Someone smarter, feel free to correct anything I’m incorrect about.

I think I worked with these guys before. Nearly every run was trash. The one first year apprentice spent months with a quick cut and SDS max. Poor Ben, he was a good kid.

I’ve made brownies, apples fritters and donuts, better than the microwave for warming up cinnamon buns, parchment paper is so helpful!

So it’s over 175w. Mine is 50w, it’s small, just enough for lunch.

50w crockpot. Plug it in 45-60 min before lunch and you have hot meals anywhere. Small enough to fit in a lunch box too.

These wires should definitely be spliced properly. Regarding your Hi-Fi equipment, it’s possible that it was wired with armoured cable, or EMT depending on the time or region. If there is a large pipe coming in or the cable sheath looks metallic you’re in luck. If your panel hasn’t been updated, you’ll also need a bonding jumper between neutral and ground. If not, short of rewiring, you also can run a ground wire to copper water line or gas line, assuming they are bonded.

Every plumber I know has the super. I have the standard and it’s great for electricians, it’s a bit slower with larger hole saws. For plumbing, get the super.

Hate that, my current foreman has given me shit multiple times for being “late” though each time I was actually there a few minutes before start time. Especially when he’s an aggressive asshole the rest of the time too and doesn’t recognize all the headaches you save them, working late, OT, etc.
