CAN IT HURT BABY TOP OF ITS HEAD?!

Canonical_Warlock@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Cheat Codes ActivatedEnglish23·4 days agoThere are pros to working in my field for femboys though. For one example, regularly lugging an 80lb pack of tools up and down roof access ladders has given me calves and thighs that could make a person weep. Femboys are also typically better equipped for working in confined spaces. Additionally, having ready access to a hardhat, hi-vis vest, clipboard, and toolbelt enables so many crimes. I can also see some of my hi-vis workwear having serious potential as club wear with a bit of modification.
Canonical_Warlock@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Cheat Codes ActivatedEnglish31·4 days agoI tried the nail polish thing but I work with too many chemicals that strip paint for it to last more than a day. Rings are also a big no no in my job because I work with electricity. I guess I could do eye shaddow but my eyelids are naturally dark enough that I’ve already been accused of wearing it before.
Skirts on the otherhand would be excelent for keeping me cool. Just might not be great for my coworker following me up the roof ladder.

If you have a truck which has the same wheelbase as a car then it is held to the same emissions standards as a car. The larger the wheelbase is the more lax the emissions standards are. This and the chicken tax are why the US doesn’t have small trucks anymore.

Canonical_Warlock@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•I Can Beat Them All To The Next Red Light, TooEnglish51·11 days agoThe thing is that predictability is always key when you’re driving no mater the situation. These are the same people who dont take their fucking right of way and wind up slowing down everyone. These are the same people who will stop inside a roundabout to let someone in and wind up causing a traffic jam.
Being “nice” behind the wheel is just being an asshole because you want to pat yourself on the back. Don’t be “nice” while driving, be predictable.

I doubt room temp super conductors will ever be a thing though. If we can get a metalic material which superconducts above the boiling point of nitrogen then that will be world changing enough.
Canonical_Warlock@lemmy.dbzer0.comto ADHD memes@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Haha I'm in dangerEnglish6·12 days agoI’m not autistic (that I know of)(Edit: Just realized this is in the ADHD com not the autism com. No idea why I thought that. I do actually have ADHD) but I do have issues with light sensitivity so I’ll often wear sunglasses inside bright buildings. If anyone asks I just tell them my eyes are extra sensitive to light. Nobody’s really said anything about it after that. Most people honestly DGAF about what you’re doing, they’re just curious and sating that curiosity is enough. Those that do actually care and would make a stink over nothing are relatively rare and aren’t worth your time or attention.

I won’t explain the entire route you just sent my train of thought on but it ended up with the thought that at some point in history someone has attempted to seductively strip out of long thermal underwear.

Canonical_Warlock@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Greentext@sh.itjust.works•Take out a huge loanEnglish23·18 days agoAt that point why not just declare bankruptcy? If he was couch surfing then he had no assets to lose. Sure bankruptcy fucks your credit for a while but it’s better than having nothing and still having your wage garnished. That’s literally the situation that bankruptcy exists for. If you somehow get yourself in a truely irrecoverable amount of debt then it’s your get out of jail relatively free card.
Saying that ADHD makes you smarter is bullshit. However there are definitely tasks that ADHD can make you better at which is likely what this person was refering to. There’s a reason a lot of the best repair techs I work with have an ADHD diagnosis or show clear symptoms despite having never sought out a diagnosis. ADHD can make you really good and forming connections between different ideas that most people wouldn’t be able to do as quickly which can help with, for example, diagnosing issues in complex systems. However if you ask those same people to perform a basic task thoroughly and in a standardized fashion then we’re usually going to be way worse at it than the average person. It’s literally just being differently abled.
For example, when I’m off my sweet sweet prescription speed, I can narrow down and locate issues in a building wide automation system in a couple of hours where other techs spent all day trying and failing to find it. But at the same time, when I’m off my meds, cleaning an ice machine can take me 6 hours where one of our neurotypical techs would easily have it done even better in under 3 hours and I will have no idea what I spent all that extra time on because I will have felt like I was rushing the entire time.
Some people see being able to do complex troubleshooting quickly as beeing “smart” but it’s really just a different skillset. You could call me “smart” but I literally need regular doses of amphetamines just to be able to do the most basic prioritization like paying bills on time, and cleaning my house so I personally wouldn’t say that I’m particularly “smart”.

So, I’m hearing that it’s time to go back to super heavy battleships.
Canonical_Warlock@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Financially rewarding and you will always have a jobEnglish6·19 days agoThen it sounds like HVAC/Refrigeration it the trade for you. It’s kind of funny because we tend to get all the people who dropped other trades for various reasons. I work with ex plumbers who didn’t want to deal with shit, I work with journeyman electricians who didn’t want to spend 8 years becomming a master electrician, I work with ex building automation guys who got tired of trying to automate busted equipment. A lot of my coworkers started in other trades, went “This fucking sucks” and switched to HVAC-R.

The water isn’t directly used as the cooling fluid. It’s just used to provide evaporative cooling to boost the efficiency of a conventional refrigeration system. I also suspect that many of them are starting to switch to CO2 based refrigeration systems which heavily benefit from adiabatic gas coolers due to the low critical temp of CO2. Without an adiabatic cooler the efficiency of a CO2 based system starts dropping heavily when the ambient temp gets much above 80F.
They could acheive the same results without using water, however their refrigeration systems would need larger gas coolers which would increase their electricity usage.

There’s just a thermostat built into the gas valve which uses a sensing bulb to modulate the gas flow based on actual temp and set temp. They don’t even need electricity let alone wifi.
