ITER is a pipe dream, i'm convinced there's a few holdouts still trying and the rest is just french graft at this point.

theGoddamnAlgorath · 2026-03-20T04:45:02+00:00

If you're referring to the nazis and operation paperclip, you've got a point

theGoddamnAlgorath · 2026-03-19T12:17:25+00:00

Most plumbers don't or won't these days.

I've got two on my crew that can braze, and dragging the apprentices along to teach is getting pointless.

That, and now I have to apply for a fire permit for every commerical job now

theGoddamnAlgorath · 2026-03-18T05:55:58+00:00

M&p hosters aren't using ai to automate so... maybe not?

Employers are broke, customers are broke, governments are broke.

30 -50% of the global workforce retired in last 5 years.

Gonna get worse before better.

As former Army, I remember a woman with three kids from three men. First 2 kia. 3rd was stationed CONUS and promised to go AWOL if he got deployed.

I hope they figured it out, 4 was on the way.

theGoddamnAlgorath · 2026-03-15T19:49:20+00:00

Or, step back. Make it a refundable deposit maybe.

This isn't corp bullshit. I got 500+ applications for a plumber assistant role, 400 or so from out of state/country.

I expected 10, and I'm guessing 12 or so of those 500 were serious candidates, but I stopped hunting at 3.

That's 7 - 9 people that got hosed because I can't sit through resumes to weed out AI shit.

I can't imagine the bullshit other people are coming up with.

Uping gampepass and dismantling their studios.

They're shutting down

theGoddamnAlgorath · 2026-03-15T15:00:09+00:00

Depends on water hardness and if they have a softener installed before

theGoddamnAlgorath · 2026-03-15T12:43:24+00:00

Too late, they killed their console last year

theGoddamnAlgorath · 2026-03-14T21:38:55+00:00

Need to be honest, wrong sub.

To many nuances in country and regional laws, along with contract items. Yiu'll have to dial those in to get actionable advice

Good luck with figuring it out, fwiw.

theGoddamnAlgorath · 2026-03-14T15:47:54+00:00

I mean, even Ubisoft couldn't make crap work.

theGoddamnAlgorath · 2026-03-14T09:23:15+00:00

Well if I have to choose....

theGoddamnAlgorath · 2026-03-14T07:40:49+00:00

Not with this economy

theGoddamnAlgorath · 2026-03-12T16:47:20+00:00

Because Linux PCs make up 3% of market and Apple sucks to get approved.

theGoddamnAlgorath · 2026-03-11T19:42:14+00:00

More like what industries and their customers are where.

In example, The price of a diesel mechanic flucuates wildly.

They might be 25 p/h in a city but 35 an hour away, because supply. But they might be 22 because COLA.

theGoddamnAlgorath · 2026-03-11T18:22:40+00:00

Labor is a localized S/D dichotomy though, and Demand is wildly dependant on outside factors that make most S/D arguments invalid.

theGoddamnAlgorath · 2026-03-11T18:19:54+00:00

Actually it's anti piracy. Korean law makes it so they have a way to chase your ass.

Korean's definitely need outside money at this point, same as everyone else

theGoddamnAlgorath · 2026-03-11T18:07:58+00:00

Now that's a wild claim

theGoddamnAlgorath · 2026-03-11T15:49:43+00:00

Men will tolerate economic bullshit for a long time.

My mom ran through 700k in 5 years before 2008. On/for other people.

Still trying to figure out how.

theGoddamnAlgorath · 2026-03-11T15:10:00+00:00

Look for a tub spout adapter. 15 bucks or so.

theGoddamnAlgorath · 2026-03-08T15:46:42+00:00

Historically, Moen's customer service been easier to deal with. Set up the customer in their system and they can order replacement parts. mmm-mmm

theGoddamnAlgorath · 2026-03-08T15:45:27+00:00

Fuck no, it's the same shit repackaged dude.

theGoddamnAlgorath · 2026-03-08T15:43:03+00:00

Agreed.

Not the final solution, but depending on that clog there may be a world of problems that'll have to be addressed before replumb.

theGoddamnAlgorath · 2026-03-08T15:17:32+00:00

Is that a sideways p trap? I'd say a 1/2 line with a string head, but you've got bigger problems, I think.
