That's not how it happens in Canada. Private institutions run schooling and the government oversees the apprenticeship program. Unions don't have much say in it at all.

This is such a bad take. Getting in to the apprenticeship doesn't gaurantee you work. You have to look at the market in your area to see if there is work for the trade you are going in to. Schools and job posting can give you hints on this. You may have to move where the jobs are. It's a reality.

That union runs on a seniority priority for job call outs. Not all unions go by this, the one I was a part of gave priority to those who worked least the last 365 days. Don't paint the whole system as a scam.

Also my union didn't have contracts for callouts. The companies asked for X amount of guys, they go out for the duration the project. If they like you and there's more work available then they keep you instead of sending you back on the out of work list. But that's the nature of construction, it's up and down and you never know if you have a job after completing a project.

Apprenticeships work the same for non-union, but you have to look for more work yourself if you get let go, same as any other job in the world.

What material did you print this in? Sanding generates heat pretty easily and may soften some materials. I'm curious of your experience with that as you've given me some ideas for sanding jigs.

I don't know if I'm ready to switch my main PC over to Linux just yet but I may give it a try with my media server PC. I mostly just torrent and run Plex on. Would be a good environment to test it in. It's basically just a PC made from old parts and it's running windows 10 right now.

For the wireless charger I got one of those Anker ones that hold it at angle like stand, so I put my phone on it while I'm at my desk. I can look at it and check any notifications that come in without having to pick it up. Saves me from having another cord on my desk.

Those look like pretty big gaps, close to 1" on the biggest. That's gonna take a whole of woodfiller.

What is the 4B movement?

I'd love to recreate some of these in Avorion. It's got a pretty decent ship builder.

That dick wasn't enforcable. I can't say if it's illegal where he comes from but I doubt they would take him to court to enforce it.

My dad used to talk about them. He'd call it faggots and peas.

I have feeling that's only gonna help those at the top. It'll make the sector easier to control by consolidating it, but if anything goes wrong their gonna fall hard. But I'm no expert in the field.

Who debunked this? I don't any comments debunking it.

Also if you read the article it has limited applications so it's not some pie in the sky you think it.
