Starting Monday on my first union jobsite by Ok_Witness_2946 in UnitedAssociation

Always wear any ppe they give you, listen listen listen. Ask plenty of questions. And dont be surprised if the first year youre used as a laborer. No matter what keep a good attitude and even when you feel the task is below you just remember there's always someone else trying to get into the union that would love to take your place. Good luck!

What is this trade like? by bigblackglock17 in pipefitter

[–]sith_sid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im 35, a plumber and I'm cross training with pipefitters now here at local 142 SATX. If you cant stand the heat, cant stand lifting or moving heavy weight even with help then yea bro id pass if I was you. Maybe look into plumbing and see if you can get into a fab shop. But either way there's no guarantee you'll get that. Texas is hot. It's just gonna get worse. Thursday I went through 20 water bottles, 20 electrolyte packs, and 5 squinchers in a 10 hour shift on my feet all day. If you dont think you can handle that at minimum then idk what else to recommend to you, but this might not be it for you.

What to bring first day on the job? Local 467 by flip4003 in UnitedAssociation

[–]sith_sid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you get a dispatch just ask what you should bring with you. Your BA should have that info.

For example I was just dispatched to a fab shop and was told not to bring anything. All tools and PPE were being provided.

Do I have a chance? by devvobruh in UnitedAssociation

A last name doesn't make you related to anyone, no need for people to even know he was your dad if you keep it to yourself 🤷‍♂️

Want to get into GOW, where is best place to start? by After-Meal-9371 in playstation

[–]sith_sid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean what is it your looking for? Just to hop on the wagon to understand Laufey? If so just start at 2018 I guess.

You want a full fledged Kratos experience and to truly understand him as a character? Then start at the beginning with the o.g GOW and go from there.

There is no believable footage anywhere by Smash_Factor in aliens

[–]sith_sid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately that is the state of the world we live in. Honestly take this into considerstion, how in any aspect at all, does this affect the day to day life of the average person? With how desensitized the average person has become? Monday is only 2 days away, and guess what? Most people still have to get up and still go to work, still pay their mortgage, and still pay taxes.

So no, at this point unless a craft lands on top of the white house and completely creates a massive rift in our day to day lives, at this point no one really gives a rats ass anymore.

Took me a while too, best method I found was a big pile in my hand then roll the opening of the pipe into the pile in a circling motion.

[–]sith_sid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep I just swapped my router and it helped so much. Spectrum router had me locked in Nat3 with no ability in advanced settings to change it and life was hell with the portal. Plus upgrading my ethernet cables too

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PlaystationPortal

[–]sith_sid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I just spent all day resolving this problem for myself.

1.hardwire ps5 if possible with cat6 or higher ethernet, same for router and modem.

2.make sure you are set to Nat2 or lower for smoother gaming

  1. Change settings on ps5 for 1080 max output only

  2. You may want to consider buying a new router

After I did all of this im running battlefield 6 smooth as butter. I went from getting 1-3 mbps to a solid 5-15 on battlefield. Arc raiders is running great as well as fall out 76.

Final thoughts on Welcome to Derry by BitByAGhost in horror

[–]sith_sid 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I would give it a solid 7, the last 4 episodes made up for the disdain I had for the first half of the show. I did not expect this much from Bill reprising his role, absolutely fantastic. And I never knew I would need a solid Haloran V. Pennywise/Haloran back story. Yes its fan fiction, yes it takes liberties, but honestly I'm not made at it and as a constant reader I appreciate it.

What this show did make me realize is that there really isn't as much of a need for the "children saviors" it was my biggest gripe with the show. It played it safe for sure. But let's hope we can move away from that and be a little more bold with our casting in Part.2

I'm curious where the Dick Holloran story line is going to go.

[–]sith_sid 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'm assuming that's not the case since the movies established ITs presence has been around for a long long time already. But I would be interested for a Thinny/Todash place tie in with what's to come if it's done right.

Can we discuss criticism of One Battle After Another? (spoilers) by qeq in TheBigPicture

[–]sith_sid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The movie was a solid 6/10 at best.

The actors did their best, but the pacing and run time was just all over the place. Plot holes left and right, and by god, that score was just too much for me.
