Jean recommendations for linework

So my company is doing away with uniform services, which means no more coveralls. I really enjoy working in them because I'm a bigger guy and I feel less restricted. I can afford a couple FR pairs of coveralls but I'll probably have to get some jeans because it's not feasible to buy 8-9 pair of them. Can anyone recommend a good pair of jeans or two that break in really well? Can't stand having stiff jeans for 8 months waiting for them to break in

What are some top tier TV shows in the past 25 years that consistently get pushed to the side because of the heavy hitters?

When I say heavy hitters I'm talking about The Sopranos, The Wire, Friends, Seinfeld, Band of Brothers, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Mad Men, Game of Thrones, Arrested Development, even Dark (Netflix)

I see all these TV shows as like the valedictorian or top 1% but what are some unsung heros or forgotten Gems in this golden age of TV

How do I get Spotify to play my "Liked Songs" playlist when opening it with Google voice commands?

Most times when I try to use Google voice commands to open Spotify I say "play my Liked Songs on Spotify" but it'll open a stupid song named "liked song" or something like that. Is there a specific voice command I can use that works 100% of the time so I can just get my liked song playlist to play?

Milwaukee C12-28 DCR (Best purchase) nothing fancy

So this probably my best Milwaukee purchase, not pack out compatible or any of that jazz. Got this almost 15 years ago, runs a full month on a fully charged M12 and well over two months on a M18. It's been beat up a fair amount but it's just a truly great radio to this day.

Works better than a coworkers Milwaukee pack out radio and was way cheaper.. Definitely made with quality back in the day

I'm always checking both and they never have any postings. I finally saw a few days ago that First Energy put up apprenticeship postings which is incredibly rare, but I never see anything for JCP&L. Same goes for PSEG.

I've been with Amtrak for going on 6 years now as a lineman and really don't see it paying off financially long term. Took my test for NEAT in South Jersey about 2 weeks ago but I'd really prefer trying to land a utility apprenticeship

So in my college years I was a pretty consistent sink pisser my freshman year. Mainly because I went to a military college and as freshmen you'd want to keep away from upperclassmen as much as you can. I ended up getting a roommate who wasn't too keen on the idea until he got smoked the first week going to the bathroom at 2am. Ultimately he joined the sink pisser ranks... But instead of just standing in front of the sink to piss (which he could, he was about 6'2-6'3) he would stand on top of the sink... My guy would literally take a step stool and fully stand on the sink to take a piss standing up -_-

I let him do it a few more times to see if he could figure it out, but he didn't... Awkward conversation to have with a fellow 18 year old

So the hair on my right side of my head is receding pretty bad. I've been pushing my hair forward a little bit to cover it up when I'm styling but I feel like that's kind of a desperate move. I feel like Saul Goodman almost. Should I take it all off, or does anyone have recommendations on what to do to style better?

My mom has a small backyard, about 30 by 120 feet and her neighbor has 8 sweet gum trees lined up along the back fence. The sweet gum balls completely cover her yard year-round, roughly two full F-150 bed loads worth. When I visit 3-4 times a year, I rake and haul them to the local composting site, but that's not a sustainable solution.

We've tried a few things: the rolling cage picker-upper tool didn't work well, and leaf blowers just push them into the ground further. Raking seems to be the only effective method, but she's older and on a fixed income, so she can't manage it herself and landscaping companies are quoting $200-300 per visit.

Has anyone dealt with something similar? Would it be out of line to approach the neighbor about splitting the cost of removing the trees?
