Yeah I don't even hear the big 40A power supplies at work, usually 3 or 4 of them in a row on din rail.
The variable frequency drives are a different story, sometimes those sound like the worst high frequency you've ever heard in your life. But I don't even hear those all the time anymore, depending on the drive.
I take steps to make sure my tinnitus isn't getting worse. But about all you can do is try and protect your ears as best as you can. Once it's there, it's there to stay
This isn't exactly a big revelation or anything.
I built machinery for plastics recycling for 7 years. The plastics producers were extremely picky about what could be ground down into pellets to be evacuated to the beginning of the injection molding process. To my knowledge, about 99% of what was being "recycled" as they call it, were "in-house" plastics. Basically material that never leaves the manufacturing facility it's created in. This could be just about anything that doesn't meet QA standards. So like, your product has a big bulge in it, or it's the wrong density, color, etc. I've seen our granulators in action when I did service, and you wouldn't believe how much needs to be re-made. There was a dude with a sawzall who's whole job was to cut the tops off these big containers, and load them in the granulator. 3 shifts in a row there was someone doing this, 24/7.
This is getting beside the point but I do know that a little bit of the wrong color dye getting into the granulator would ruin the whole batch, and it would go to waste. So no, there's no way that big piles of random garbage are getting turned back into re-usable plastics, unless the recycling facilities are doing something different or have some sort of equipment I'm not aware of. I know they don't buy any granulators.
It's a bit of an open secret in my county that al recycling goes to the dump anyway. They don't even try for easy stuff like cardboard. Same as a lot of places in the US.
This seems like a dumb tiktok trend or some shit. It's hard to get by in this world without a cellphone
But I just wish anyone would still want to talk on the phone. I love chatting with friends for an hour or so on the phone but everyone hates it now. Quick random texts just feel so much less personal. Ah well
Relatable.
The CEO of our 401k company just embezzled millions out of 17 companies' plans.
Luckily we weren't one that was affected.
But goddamn how can you be that evil
I've worked in industrial electrical manufacturing for about 10 years and I can't help but agree.
OP, your old job may have sucked but 6 months is nothing in terms of a job / experience. I worked in the same shop for 7 years and have been at the new one for 6 months and I still consider myself "new" there even if I'm not green. I'm not sure if I'd even put 6 months on a resume because it just sends a signal you're not gonna stick around.
I'm glad you found something with a bit better prospects. But don't be surprised if you get stuck doing absolute mind-numbing grunt work in any new position for potentially years. Everyone who works a trade has done it, and the new guys will always have to do it. But it is how you learn and get better and more acquainted with everything. They don't call it an apprenticeship for no reason.
I will say though, everyone works a job for money. I adore my field and have a passion for it and love the shop environment, but I do still leave my house at 530 AM for a paycheck. I wouldn't be there if I wasn't getting paid, just like anyone else in the world.
I do wish you the best though. I'd just say stick it out and take it as a chance to learn and grow. Best advice I can give is just don't get too ahead of yourself. Know-it-alls become unpopular, fast.
Wow Linux 12 lookin sooo much better than Windows 12
I applied to 12, got like 6 callbacks I think, 3 interviews. One was no offer, other offer was too low, last one I took.
Trades are just different I guess.
Becomes king
Fucking dies
Lmaooo
Men will not fight the class war, workers will fight the class war. Men are the reactionary force against it because we live in a patriarchal society and that means men control the means of production and they will offer up women as property when there’s no more land, wages, or social mobility to be taken
I'm sorry but wtf are you on it about? Men are half the population, and half of the working class.
Men do not control the means of production, owners do. I have no idea what you're getting at with this comment either.
What a load of crap. My phone is 5 years old and the only security risk is me blindly installing questionable APKs off the Internet or clicking pop-up ads or something. It's not like I'm walking around with a time bomb or anything when all I do is browse a few apps and text and call.
Also the new pixel 8 supposedly is supposed to come with 7 years of updates. It's entirely possible Google abandons that plan though, given their track record.
I ended up drinking down by the river spot with some friends one sunny summer afternoon. Completely randomly, I remembered I had the number of a boy. He had long blonde hair, was skinny as a rail, and was very into heavy metal, I wasn't as much. He was also adorable, but I wasn't even thinking about that. I was unsure of my own feelings at the time of whether I was gay or not, I was only like 21 and he was 19.
I honestly have no idea why it dawned on me to text him. I just thought he was a cool guy and maybe fun to hang out with. We didn't exactly run in the same social circles, we had a few of the same friends but had actually really never interacted much irl. A few times on last.fm and tumblr.
My friends started leaving and splitting off, and before it got dark, we had drank most of the bottle of fireball he brought and we were kissing and holding each other in the weird pallet / tree house thing above the river.
What's extra crazy is he was sort of floating between living at a few places and was currently crashing at a mansion of all places, but it was like 20 miles north of the city and he didn't have a car. He just happened to be in town on that one day, at the right time, that when I texted him, he was able to walk over.
That was 10 years ago. We're planning on getting married after I finish some home renovations in the next year or so on our beautiful 1890s home (which coincidentally is by that same river).
Get wrekt
I post as I still have problems with Wayland on Arch lmao
