i wonder how far down you'd have to dig to get suitable clay for making pottery without any possible microplastic contamination? earthworms dig pretty deep and, as we all know, earthworms are not to be trusted: Microplastic transport in soil by earthworms

some plague rats posted:If you want to be an arborist then starting off on the ground crew is a good intro but don't just join up and wait for a climbing spot, because what that generally means is that someone hosed off and they're desperate so the training will be ad hoc and full of holes. It's worth hanging on to find somewhere willing to run you a proper apprenticeship because arb climbing is absolutely not something you can figure out as you go along and still keep your fingers. this seems like very solid advice. if it’s a smaller company or some ad hoc under the table thing, safety isn’t going to be prioritized or taught the same way it is at a bigger more established company. don’t lose fingers (or worse) because of somebody else’s laziness or fuckups.

you have a little chainsaw you take up into the tree with you. they take more skill to operate than the full size saws. plus, you're hanging onto a tree at the same time.

Yeah it's this. Worth bearing in mind though that most climbing injuries, at least the ones where you get cut or take out your rope are caused by handsaws, for the simple reason that once you put down the top handle and pull out the silky you immediately get more complacent and start cutting towards your hands, cutting and holding instead of doing snap cuts, etc. Over the course of my career I've had exactly one in-tree injury caused by a chainsaw, while I've lost count of the handsaw ones. While I'm on the subject, when you're new to a company never take anything on faith. Before you take a saw into a tree, no matter what you're told, at minimum check the side bolts and the chain brake. Can't emphasize that enough, NEVER assume that people you've just started working with will be doing basic poo poo instead of assuming you'll cover it or it's probably fine. Goes for ground saws too, but since top handles tend to be a way more personal bit of gear they tend to get skipped over some plague rats has issued a correction as of 01:37 on May 14, 2022 |

That's a good point. I didn't spend much time in the trees, but I did a few easy side jobs so I bought myself a silky handsaw and those suckers are wicked sharp and get caught on everything. Having to mind your ropes at the same time must be a headache

Having to mind your ropes at the same time must be a headache It absolutely is. It's easy to forget just how sharp the little bastards are, but my mantra is that they go through wood like nothing, is your skin tougher than oak? What about your climbing line? Probably not!

lol they literally would not stop working to do even basic chainsaw maintenance. the boss would yell at you if he saw you sharpening your chain. I had to do it when he wasnt around.

That is absolutely baffling. Did he want you all working at half speed while thrashing his gear? Was the whole thing a producers-esqe tax dodge?? (entirely possible actually)

(entirely possible actually) no he was actually quite good at, and honestly they were pretty good about safety. he was just a supremely angry man. he wasn't against sharpening chains in principle - he was against you sharpening chains at the exact moment he saw you doing it. it was never "the right time." it was just regular old abuse. you could never get any clarity on what "the right time" was. it didn't matter if you were seasoned or a newbie, he just kicked people's rear end because his personal life was lovely. as with any abusive boss, you get to do your best work when they're not there. I've worked for too many of these types.

Ah, gotcha. Yeah there's two types of people running small arb businesses: former climbers who got sick of slaving for someone else and struck out on their own, who are great, and small business tyrants who thought it's an easy industry to make a bunch of money in. I worked for a while for a guy who made millions owning restaurants and then sold up and bought an arb company as a "retirement plan". He constantly pinched pennies on climbing gear but also insisted on buying a digger and bringing it to every job, so I went six months without having to load a chipper by hand before I got sick of him and moved on. Very weird industry

x-posting The World’s a Mess. So They’ve Stopped Saving for Tomorrow. No paywall: https://archive.ph/ihH36 quote:Hannah Jones, a standup comic in Denver, said she used to save almost all her discretionary income. She was a thrift-shop regular who refused to pay for a Netflix subscription. Now she has become what she calls a “financial nihilist,” meaning she puts significantly less into her savings account. quote:Danilo Jiménez, who is planning to go to graduate school to study environmental policy in the fall, said he has put saving for retirement on hold in favor of spending that money on weekend trips and moving out of his parents’ home to live with roommates in Brooklyn.
