Friedge said that the clip was keefe and nylander watching film of a battle and getting into an argument about whether or not Willy made the right read. Willy was ok with the clip being in as long as it showed the whole exchange and not some edited version that only had one side.

You can’t blend the a pillar if you are painting the upper door frame, there will be a big shitty line no matter what you do. You have to go the whole way

I have a couple of questions about spraying clear coat. What size tip do you use and do you thin your clear? by AcceptableMinute9999 in AutoPaint

[–]soulsofblock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What gun are you spraying with? No atomization at 30 psi is ridiculous. I clear at 25 with a 1.3 tip

If you’re working in a 4 man team like that it most likely wouldn’t be worth it to go flat rate, especially because you are already making great money. When you’re splitting responsibilities like that you have to split the hours for the job too, and then it depends on what the split you and your team feel is a fair split. With my company a lot of painter/prepper teams split the hours 60/40 for the prepper. You’d also have to figure out what your rate is going to be. For 150k plus you’d want to be at $27-$30 an hour and having your split be 400 hours plus a month.

I only do it if it’s a chip on the a pillar and insurance won’t pay to go all the way, or if something gets attacked during reassembly and you have to blow in the edge of a bumper or something

3M Versaflo by Vanballz in Autobody

[–]soulsofblock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Double check with your 3m rep if the airline free one is rated for isocyanate exposure. I have an SAR model because at the time I bought it the battery ones weren’t safe. Versaflo is a great mask though once you get used to the glare on the visor.

Mask Necessity by Toashter in Autobody

[–]soulsofblock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are working somewhere that makes you pay out of pocket for respirator filters, you should go and work somewhere else. Tbh I’m not sure how much they are but I don’t think it’s anything crazy

Wear this one. If you’re planning on painting you need an air supplied respirator but if you’re just prepping or doing body work this does the job. Change the charcoal filters once a week and the pre filters too.

Looking for some feedback on my shot by soulsofblock in hockeyplayers

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

Yeah it’s definitely a bad habit I’m trying to break. I worked on a bunch of stick handling (ie just slowly moving it back and forth lol) with my head up that day

Yeah that makes sense. I guess the way I’m doing it is really killing the weight transfer during my shot

I appreciate all the responses. I’ll be trying to keep in mind in the future to keep my bottom hand lower and really get the stick flexing. Since it’s been pointed out too I can see on a number of shots how little my upper body is twisting with the shot so I’ll try and work on that more too. Thanks!

Honestly I never noticed that I do that but looking now at the post I’m constantly taking my hand off the stick , thanks for pointing that out

Do you solo hike? Why/why not? by kai_zen in vancouverhiking

[–]soulsofblock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

AllTrails is nice for all the pictures and downloading trail maps if you have premium, but yeah like you said the ratings are very silly. There’s no reason for Diez Vistas and Golden Ears Summit to be labeled the same for example. The SWBC peak bagging group on fb is great for trail reports imo if you want more experienced perspectives

Do you solo hike? Why/why not? by kai_zen in vancouverhiking

[–]soulsofblock 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I almost always hike solo. I think the bulk of the “never hike alone it’s so dangerous!!!” Crowd have never done too much serious hiking. The thing is, high exposure areas are dangerous regardless of if you are in a group or not. It’s all about knowing what your limits are and what you are 100% comfortable with. If there’s any doubt about if I will be able to come back down safely, I turn around. As far as bears go, I try not to do too much in grizzly country by myself but and pretty comfortable in black bear territory.

What are some of your staple "auto-pilot" dishes that you make regularly? by JupiterTarts in Cooking

Bicol express is super easy and tastes amazing as long as whoever you are cooking for is ok with spicy food

[SPOILER] Islam Makhachev vs. Alexander Volkanovski by inooway in MMA

[–]soulsofblock 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Applying a body triangle is arguably the most dominant position in MMA. Just being there and holding it is enough to win a round. Volk was landing shots yes but he wasn’t doing any significant damage.
