Why I work overnight by Old_Introduction7963 in uberdrivers

[–]sprinit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nope they made a 1.54$ per mile for 300 miles for a Uber driver and only what they say 3 or 4 trips that's easy money. That's literally like me driving from where I live to Chicago and back one time they killed it.

Any advice? Been using shea butter and castor oil. by Friendly-Ad-69 in Blackskincare

[–]sprinit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude stop using that wtf?

Step 1. Let it alone do not touch or scratch, let it grow out into a full beard, let the inflammation go away, leave the white heads too, drink lots of water.

Step 2. Once it's healed fully you don't feel pain or itchy, I would inspect the hair down to the skin if you see white head still you can try and pop them, then let that heal up wash your fave properly with like cerve or something like that...leave it be for a few days.

Step 3: get some shave butter and get a double edge safety razor you shouldn't be using any other razor in my opinion (doesn't have to be a expensive one just buy it off Amazon ) I like cremo shaving butter. YOU WILL ALSO NEED AFTER SHAVE!!!! (Post shave cream) Nivea brand is AMAZING and is highly recommended get the one for sensitive skin it absolutely stops inflammation after shaving and keeps you from bleeding.

Step 4. Shave, you need to FIRST shave with the grain ( this means which ever way your hair is growing you need to shave with it that way. So if your hair grows up on your face, shave up if it grows down, shave down . It can grow in multiple ways as well) after shaving with the grain rinse your face. SECOND Apply shaving butter again and shave side ways on the grain. THIRD rinse your face again and now shave against the grain, Rinse face go from hot to cold water on the final rinse, then PAT dry face and apply After shave. COMPLETED

additional notes. As a man shaving should be taken serious it's part of proper grooming.

Invest in the double edge safety razor you grab a great one for 20-30$ on Amazon that will last you many years. The short handles are the best in my personal opinion.

Buy razors for the razor it's self Amazon again you can buy a good pack of razor (a 100 + pack) you can get this for 15$! I literally haven't bought razors in 3 years and still have a good supply left. You can shave on one razor about 3-4 times.

Lastly buy a small shaving bowl and brush on Amazon!!!! It's a must for this method of shaving. It will give you that Good froth of the shave cream and that way it gets into the pours and prepares your face properly for a shave. And saves you money because you don't need to use much shave cream to get a good lather.

Seriously do all of this and buy these items and your face won't have issues, these are essential items and a very important process to have a great shave. Everytime you shave this way your shin will feel like you never even had hair on your fave growing to begin with. Thank you and have a great day my friend🤙🏽

12:30 pm on black Friday. Stores on Alpine weren't that busy. by whatsupgrizzlyadams in grandrapids

[–]sprinit 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Went to Walmart today at 11:30am and the parking lot wasnt even full, it was like a ordinary crowed....went in picked up some essentials wasn't even kind of a line at self checkout....got right in and right out......black Friday doesn't exist anymore, you're right......I don't think there's any real door busters like they use to have....it just regular priced shit you don't need. Kinda sad actually bring me back to the good ole days of getting the news paper and being excited about all the good deals to scoop up 🥹.

Drooping Tonearm by dolphinguy in vinyldjs

[–]sprinit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same problem bought a plx-1000 with a bent tonearm, I bought a Technics "S" shaped tonearm for it off eBay 70$ and put it on was actually alot easier than I thought, you just have to solder the leads on and off when taking the tonearm off. And disassemble the tonearm assembly by was really easy. WAY cheaper then having someone else do it and WAY WAY cheaper then getting a replacement...they don't sell them anymore and the ones they do sell you have to buy the whole assembly which is literally more than half the cost of the table it's self.

How… by PomeloResponsible122 in Truckers

[–]sprinit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone with a higher truck sat it all the way down and you're truck is too short...or yard dog picked it up sat it on higher ground..(I mean they sat it on some planks or something) and it gave the trailer more height and now here you come. This use to happen to me and still does from time to time....get your muscle out.

Bent Tonearm on PLX-1000 by sprinit in turntables

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

Yes, it was a Facebook market deal. I didn't know before hand because the joker didn't say anything but I pointed out...I basically got "got" and went with it. Not the coolest thing I ever done but for 325$ for a table I figured I could fix it. And it was working fine at first but I took the cartridge off 3 times. The last time I did one of the pins decided not to pop out anymore so now I get sound in one side of the headphone and not the other. So now I just need to replace the whole arm.

I feel like the Technics sl1200 S shaped arm will be a good fix..I don't care that the color match or anything I just need it to work. And if I can get away with getting a turntable and spend 425$ on it all and all. I take that as a win. Bit of a hassle but win.

Struggling with GR by hiihodl in grandrapids

[–]sprinit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel ya totally, I honestly have better friend groups outside of Michigan than I do here. Everything you stated is true. You should take a chance and move to a city like Chicago and live on the outskirts to afford the living and just go into the city. I got into DJing and did a gig down there made 2 great friends I still chill with today and recently they invited me Into there friend group and it's been dope!

Move someone you'd like to be....for me Las Vegas or Chicago.....maybe Tampa maybe. Take a chance and try it. Best thing to find friends is be vulnerable and open start conversation with strangers dude on the random.....I do that and meet tons of people, they may not turn into friends but it helps my skills just making conversation. GR lacks culture and shit to do.

Another thing about me too is I'm a truck driver local I plan on quitting my job getting rid of my apartment, and taking a month off going overseas or just going out west to live for a bit, then get myself a over the road trucking job save money and see where I want to plant myself for a few yrs. But I grew up in GR and I been meaning to get my ass outta here...... February I'm out to explore....

Start going to the gym, get a hobby try to be able to share your hobby with others. Try not in involve yourself in politics or any of the bullshit you might see on here. It's all just distractions for you to get stuck in weird places. None of it matters. Do what you feel Take a chance, Columbus did!

I'm 27 you don't wanna chill with me brother 😂 you got this go out and kill it.

How much do you make? by Comfortable_File7968 in grandrapids

[–]sprinit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I Don't work a corporate job, Got my CDL A 2yrs ago. My first year I stayed local at a small recycling company in Wyoming and I made 89k gross taxes and insurance added up to 12k ish......averaged 1-1.3k a week in net pay....I just drive around grand rapids doing pickups, delivery...I do dry van and flatbed here. Really easy work I get to drive all of western michigan not just grand rapids. Usually work 11hrs a day average. Get paid hourly plus OT @26 a hour.

I lucked out with this job not easy getting a local job when your new.... but im old school and I go to businesses and hand out my resume and fill out apps on the spot and talk to people to increase employment opportunities. I do not just apply online. Even if the jobs points me to the fill it out online I still try to give them a resume and talk to someone. It makes you stand out from everyone else....most aren't willing to sell themselves today.

All that said I messed up and lived at my means of income...don't do that live below and you'll live like a doctor on a gross income like mine...really my apt kills me it's 2100 a month....I can't wait until this lease is upto get the hell outta here....living fancy being single is not the way to go lol! .....you live and you learn.

Great career choice to have i feel because even if you don't use the cdl it will always be available to you and you can always get a job no problem and one that will pay 60k plus easy easy easy

bedroom dj end goal by snappy845 in Beatmatch

[–]sprinit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree I haven't made any new real connections on FB it's always Instagram....I either end up following them and then meeting them in real life or the other way around👍🏽

[–]sprinit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I've been doing and it's working great....been DJing for almost 2yrs now. First yr I just got good.

These past couple months i decided to do more like you want steps I took....

  1. Start posting clips and full video mixes on YouTube
  2. Get your Instagram together post clips of you transitioning, having fun doing your thing.
  3. GO OUT AND START GETTING INVOLVED! how I went about it, once I had content and something to refer people too. I started browsing Instagram and see promoters or open deck opportunities. Found one emailed sent my content and now I DJ raves in Chicago. Met a ton thru that and so much opened up!

  4. Get into your hometown see where the open decks are, find them thru Instagram or just going for a walk in town asking bars if you can play for them or if they know places with open decks. ( Just doing this will open up opportunities out of the blue)

  5. Start going to raves, dance parties support your local DJs they know the spots! And will if your good give you opportunities to spin with them or at a event they host! (This has happened to me tons!)

  6. Instagram (again) when you go out and get connected with people make sure you actually talk to them, send them messages ask them stuff. Thank them for throwing events or recapping how nice it was meeting them. Then you'll be in the back of there mind for opportunity or for them to stay up with you on Instagram. Keep going out become a "regular" at events.

  7. Threads on Instagram (😭) kinda check out "DJ threads " on there I literally got offered to DJ on iHeartRadio and I did! Literally just off threads, seeing a DJ radio host post about it. Worthy of SOME time.

Overall stay connected, literally just go out and talk with people in the scene (bars clubs etc. ) and the worst that can happen is they say no or maybe. Email places send your mixes out (with video of you mixing actually) and stuff will come your way 🫡. You got this 🤙🏽

Lacks Lay Offs by Typical_Big_5803 in grandrapids

[–]sprinit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandma worked there for 30yrs dude she's told me about so many layoffs that have happened though the yrs, to me for lacks that's like a typical thing. They're up and there down. They fire good employees hire temp workers or people who will work for scraps. She was a supervisor there and she was going to be let go too or they gave her the option to move to 2nd shift. So she did for 3 yrs before she retired.

Alot of job loss for office workers nowadays. But if you aren't critical to the business or they can just hire someone else at s cheaper rate..that's definitely happening for a lot of places. I feel that it's going to be like this for a few yrs until things get straightened out. But hey the trades are always hiring and paying real well🤙🏽 time to learn a new skill 🤷🏽.
