  • Dewalt is still that well regarded? My dad fucking hates them lol we used to have a good amount of their stuff and then tool after tool broke on him and he won’t buy them unless he doesn’t have a better option (he and my brother are HVAC/plumbers). He likes Milwaukee but thinks they’re overpriced, and has a decent amount of Ryobi stuff now, along with Bosch. My grandpa was the Makita man.

    I have a lot of Ryobi and Makita hand-me-downs as a result, haven’t really had to buy much of my own yet, but that’s changing.









  • The city is it’s own beast, but omfg do I hate the South larpers in upstate and elsewhere! They are so annoying, flying confederate flags and shit when half of em have never even been 50 miles from their home town. You’ll even see some of that shit on Long Island. City people are much more open minded in general at least, it’s just the rent and cost of living that you have to survive. The food, including Southern food when you find it, is also world class in NYC - bad restaurants can’t survive.

    Nisky is a cool area, I have some friends there, tho East Nisky has some of that Southern larping as well, it’s nowhere near as bad as it gets in the Southern Tier of NY from my experience as well - the people sharing the border with PA.






  • Appropriate attire I think. Make sure to leave the top button undone unless you wear a tie. If you’re planning on wearing dress shoes you may want to switch to slacks over jeans (if they are jeans, if they’re just a slightly more casual pant ignore this), but don’t think that’s a hard and fast rule or anything, you can still wear dress shoes with jeans if you don’t have an in between type of shoe. Your dress socks and shoe color should match your belt, but again there are exceptions to any “rule” of fashion, just keeps it easy tho if you’re unsure.

    The shirt may be a tad big on you, I’d suggest tucking it in a little tighter unless you have time to get it tailored (just go to a dry cleaner, cheap and usually a few days to turn around, shouldn’t be more than like $15ish depending on your area).

    I have no idea of your hygiene but as others have said make sure you aren’t giving off anything off putting. Deodorant, brush teeth obvi, maybe a small spritz of a light cologne (one spray, no more, spray in the air in front of you and walk under it).
