Just calling up a company isn’t networking

Network more until you meet someone who has an opening

It’s not what you know, it’s who you know. Network

For every 200 applications you submit, you’re putting in as much energy as you could with one quality lead where you know someone. You gotta leverage connections, do informational interviews, etc. The reality is that a lot of job postings for skilled positions are put out there because the employer has to do it. They already know who they want.

Most simple tools, I’d always recommend HF (hand tools, basic power tools, etc). If it doesn’t have electricity, I’ve never had an issue with their tools. They’ve also made aggressive upmarket shifts lately (past 5 years), which has introduced some higher end lines that seem pretty well made from what I’ve heard.

Find me something that health officials say is unsafe above a specific ppm. Then find one that doesn’t have terrible effects like IQ loss when you have 10-100x that level in your water (which, to be clear, is veeeeery few people in this case)

I’d probably go circular saw with guide if you need a straight cut. Honestly, I rarely make curved cuts so I use a circular saw more than a jigsaw.

Glad I’m not the only one repping Harbor Freight in this thread lol

In addition to the torque wrench, a breaker bar is helpful. You didn’t mention it but Allen wrenches are vital.

Also, all hail Harbor Freight. Great place to get cheap tools. If you don’t think you’ll use a power tool more than once a year, they have some great cheap shit too. They do have higher end power tools, but they have frequent sales so I would wait for one of those.

Otherwise, other tool choices come down to the type of work you’ll be doing. I do more wood stuff personally, but you sound more like a metal guy

How did you find this year old post lol

He controlled the court last time it blocked him, just sayin

Confirmation bias is a hell of a drug, huh?

Isn’t it just a matter of slowly acclimating yourself?

I heard Germany had really bad inflation before Hitler. Since we’ve seen so much inflation lately, has anyone considered bringing Hitler back?

Biden is certainly left of the US center.

No. When you leave social media echo chambers like Lemmy, you hear liberals and others right of center talking about how Kamala was too liberal.

It’s not like you are celebrating his death. You are happy that he no longer had to suffer. That’s just being empathetic.

Sorry for your loss though

“Being born in Mexico doesn’t make you Mexican”

Uh ok?
