Keep that in mind, design some new lines

All I know

Love is a valuable thing

Chances to show it gone as the

pendulum swings

Did you try once by the end of the day

To spread love that way?

Hmm, i used to have pics. Hard to describe with words. Beyond the beautifully square pipe runs and can punches he had a kinda signature with his sweeps and the rooms he musta done looked like he had made a master plan rather than just making it work. Oh and very little evidence of covered up mistakes (short pieces of conduit) that youd maybe only notice if you were doing demo anyway.

We would wonder who this dude was cuz there were like…a lot of rooms he had a hand in in this building. His clean work trademark was one thing, but we never knew for sure it was one of his until we’d pull the old cabinets to find his other trademark, peurile cartoons about how he really felt about his boss.

I’ll use any excuse to link electric six

I don’t know how one can learn to respect another’s ability there based on social media

Well i haven’t used Facebook in a long time but i have seen (both through reading accounts on social media and a few guys personally that use Facebook successfully for their side-work. Facebook gets like 2B eyeballs daily (if not our 4)

Edit:

edit: I’m also super annoyed at op to tie it to ‘positive masculinity’ while describing the quintessential male trait - they like teaching or displaying their abilities

But toxic masculinity is definitely not asking others for help. as a tradesperson i can speak to the fear of outting myself to ridicule if i all for help. Not just me either, I’ve seen whole days of work wasted cuz guys are afraid to ask. I don’t of it’s all jobs but Construction definitely be that way.

Op reached out even so and got help instead of ridicule and are now partners instead of competitors. Like what’s not to like here?

Besides watching someone to try to learn, craftsmen can just goon over other’s works.

At a job once updating some central lighting control there were some awesome rooms some (probably long retired) electrician had planned and installed. man that shit was so clean. Another time me n another guy were 'mirin this single ¾ conduit bend for 5 minutes.

Though you’re right Instead of doggin im gonna follow OPs lead an upvote the positive intentions this comment were written with

Yes, i did need this. Thank you op

Hmm well i guess you don’t have the yankee (90s? Early 2ks?) slang ‘that’s dope’ to mean something is “cool” up there? If i got the nickname True Dope I’d lean into it.

Maybe the conservatives brought that knowledge up with their trump flags and that’s why you didn’t get that sweet name

Im surprised no one’s come up with Camel Hairs. Vaguely racist/xenophobic and mysogynist with enough wiggle room to pretend it’s neither

Though reducing plastic waste is a great goal and i am glad for this victory, in (yanktown) grocery stores there is more crap wrapped in plastic than ever. Even my produce aisle has1-2 layers of plastic around them. Putting 100 plastic wrapped items into a few canvas bags is 1 step forward 2 steps back.

I agree with anyone saying “more is needed”, and i don’t want to seem against this at all, but I do want an accounting of the increasing amounts commercial/industrial are producing in the first place.

If we don’t do that too, in fact if we don’t focus on those then consumer-level initiatives are just is spinning our wheels.
