>muratic acid
don't you mean muriatic? Also, that wouldn't solve anything. Why do middle easterners resolve to acids they can't even spell?

We got one step closer to getting back off the grid. 2500 watts of glass on the roof. inverter/controller is installed. shed is wired.

next weekend we plan to trench, run 00 conduit to and from shed/house main panel and install/run weatherhead DC wires PV to controller.

once we get all the heavy work in next weekend, I can finish the rest by myself. connecting it all at the controller and wiring in the batteries.

system is still due for an upgrade, but we're going to use what we have for now. once we save up (cash only buyers) we will purchase 18 345w panels and a 300AH LiFePO4 battery to replace our FLA units.

Not involved in any of this shit. truthfully I have seen laminate fuck ups cause huge gaping holes down the line, but I cant fathom why anyone would be this tilted over something like this. Plenty of houses built the normal way have weird shit like this anyway.

>>2793021
also piece rate employment is retarded
boomers literally just established shit systems that are china tier and it's going to be really obvious the upcoming decades as all our infrastructure falls apart and doesn't get replaced

not reading any posts

MOST states DO NOT have a union and are saturated in cheap immigrant labor
the pay is atrocious unless you have a union, and if you do the pay is totally worth the ~4 year program, so anyone complaining about unions is retarded
i worked in a union state planning to leave so never certified as an apprentice but my boss was paying me way more with 1 year experience (i'm competent, learned fast, and could be trusted) then i'm now making in a right-to-work state without unions as a freakin manager
i have 3 years experience now managing people with 20-30 years and they're all fuckin retarded and unreliable
new construction is tiny fuckin margins because of the cheap labor force
all the money, fun, pleasure is in small time remodel work
all new construction outside union states is TERRIBLE because of cheap labor and boomer builders

>it's just parts of the job that have to get done and somehow the guy who just joined with no experience thinks it's mean to make them haul material for half the day and watch us work for the other half. This is normal. It sucks, but it's not some cruel act.
this is a shitty way to teach someone anything.
>It's true that once you are in any trade some things are so obvious you forget what someone who is fresh doesn't know, things as simple as hunting for water on a job,
I have never met any boomer who does not lose their shit if you ask questions about anything, get mad at you for checking their work, nor provide adiquate instructions when ignored. These people demand for you to simply smile and nod. I'm glad I did not become a tradie nor do I really want to, because its filled with people like this. But I genuinely feel bad for the young people who took genuine interest in what their parents do, only to realize meeting their expectations was rendered impossible by their own egotistical behavior. Instead if they are fortunate, they have to look through randos and hope they get someone with a better temperment than their own flesh and blood.
>all they knew was construction from a time where they were allowed to just rant sexist, racist horrible shit at each other all day.
I don't know what it is about people these days but most of the sexist racist horrible shit saying people I know tend to be the kindest while people complaining about that shit like you tend to be the worst. You seem to be conflating that shit with boomers, who collectively behave poorly as a rule regardless of belief system. As a tranny, nothing would make me feel more comfortable than someone poping a troon joke or saying careful not to ack yourself on the skill saw. having to watch your word every 2 seconds sucks dick most of the time. The issue is not with chimping out, it's why and when. I don't want to be chimped out at when I am trying to learn or worse doing a favor.

my dad was a mechanic and hes constantly wary of mechanics fucking up his shit and stealing parts right off his rig, I dont know what the hell your business is but it was obvious what that faggot is talking about. are you actually trying to make it sound like this kind of thing doesn't happen or are you just in some kind of goldylocks industry?

I was digging into an older Corsair RM650 here >>2792681
and I can safely say, do not fucking buy Corsair PSUs. Both the internal and external construction is very annoying, and there's a minor clicking noise even when it is turned on - the charge in the capacitor is trying to power something which clicks, once the capacitor charge fades the clicks slow down, and once the charge is gone (or if I short the caps manually after it has been unpowered), the clicks stop.

Not sure what else is good on the market though, I'd normally go for Be Quiet or Seasonic, but even they good high end models and cheap OEM garbage. You'll have to look at individual reviews.

basically someone who has a lot of that shit lying around.
comes from the idea that the person is a living clothes horse, which is a drying rack for clothes and linens that people used to put next to their wood fire stoves.

Ain't really free as in free beer either.

Let me know when it gets any easier to live in a large amount of this country while putting in the time learning and making shit money. Let me know when people can AFFORD to put in the time to earn their place. okay boomer

machinist bros, the QRD?
manual machinist or cnc machinist? Supposedly you can get paid pretty good or something but I don't got good enough grades to get into university and I'm a year behind in math.

Plant Chinaberry trees. They grow like crazy and are pretty aesthetic

How's your local makerspace? Mine is awesome.
I mostly just show up to work the desk every week for 1/2 discount, and talk to randos about all kind of things, but also I've finally dipped into woodworking and the laser cutters.

Use a blade to get between the ring and the wall. Pry it out enough that you can grab the end with needlenose pliers
