Uneven load shifted as I was about halfway out. Too afraid to try to shift the forks over to try and balance it as it was up about 8m up. The most experienced operator passed by 10 seconds later and said yeah hold up and pushed the load towards the center. After it was safely on the ground, he asked if I got scared. Told him I needed to check my pants. He laughed and said," good! You’ll always remember and it will never happen to you again."

Yeah, I didn’t exist for billions of years and I’m fine…ish. idk what happens after though

'Nam flashback to the Gif/Jif pronouciation wars.

I got a wool blanket. I’m sure there’s away to fold/drape into a cloak.

Just looked into it. just need a pin!

The prices are high over here as well, when the interest rate drops again I’ll look into taking a HELOC or refinance. I’m trying to put as much money into the principal as I can in the mean time.

Mine too! There’s slight water damage to the bottom kitchen cabinets and wooden floors, that we can for too fix, as water slowly leaked down the walls, but at least we got new roof, windows and doors.

Latex free became common as some ppl have latex allergies. If you’re not allergic it’s not an issue, but I haven’t seen latex gloves in a while.

This is me with the wiring. If I can tell it’s wrong, you done fucked it up.

There are a lot more jobs in the medical profession than doctor or nurse. It’s indoors so climate controlled. There’s 2 yr programs that start out around 60k a year.

Helped change a water heater at my parents place. Got quoted 1k in labor. Took us a little less than 2 hrs of actual work to do it. Had to buy new flexible connectors and Teflon tape. Possible fire or water damage is no joke so i understand the hesitation to DIY, but the work is pretty straight forward.

Trades are absolutely a viable option. There will always be a need.

Great grandpa was a woodworker, there’s been at least one in every generation, and some how got a hold of a late 1800s or early 1900s Stanley No.1 plane. I think it sells for around 2k to 2500. Its got wear, but it still works just fine.

I rarely use it, but it’s something that’s been in the family for over 100 years. I do a little woodworking, mostly utilitarian stuff like boxes and shelves, but I’ll never sell it. 3 generations of people used it to make a living.

I absolutely love tinkering, building, and fiddling with things until I get it just right. Watching scotto was like offering crack to someone who mentioned they enjoyed Ritalin once. Cheers :)

Same. lurking here is like watching cooking shows on a strict diet.

Wtf! I’ve had my 1080p 55 inch dumb as a rock tv for over 7 year, i liberated it from my brother so its older, and was gonna start looking for when finally starts to go. I guess ima need to find someone that knows how to fix it.
