Besides watching someone to try to learn, craftsmen can just goon over other's works.

At a job once updating some central lighting control there were some awesome rooms some (probably long retired) electrician had planned and installed. man that shit was so clean. Another time me n another guy were 'mirin this single ¾ conduit bend for 5 minutes.

Professional handymen, electronics installers, contractors, people who do this kind of thing for a living.

Better work with the cabling, perhaps. In this picture you can see that there's a new work box in the drywall so he's running hidden cables. There could be drywall patching or he's really good at making the holes so there doesn't need to be patching.

He could do more types of mounts than this guy is used to.

He could be faster.

Is that you're completely unimaginative so you can't come up with ways someone might be better or do you have so little respect for trades that you think there can't be skill involved?

Pros notice tiny details that most people don't even think of.

Maybe they did the job 5 minutes faster or the mount job just looks cleaner than yours.

I see it all the time.

Like someone shares a photo their desk and their setup is so slick. Or someone shows off their kitchen. Those are things I like a lot and want to improve. So rather than scroll past, or leave a hater response, I ask questions to pick up what they're dropping. You can try that.

Why would you hate on that guy.

Just because you don't do something doesn't mean nobody does. Maybe don't assume something is made up just because you're unfamiliar with it.

I definitely have friends who I know are a lot better at this kind of stuff than I am (mostly because they get less anxious over what happens if they screw up but...). I have never seen a difference once the tv is mounted because... you can't see the fricking mount once the TV is mounted.

I dunno. I also kind of have problems with the underlying premise too. Yes, toxic masculinity is a massive problem and people very much do not realize how few "male role models" there are for kids who aren't bald human traffickers and the people who sniff their chairs. But "Hey dude, I see you are a super masculine strong man with a bubble level" is not the answer.

The answer is to teach kids they don't NEED role models that fit the same gender roles they do (or, more often, their parents think they should). An athlete is an athlete and a smart person is a smart person. Same with being "handy". This is a lesson girls/"girls" were forced to learn long ago and is one boys/"boys" would benefit from. Because then you don't need to say "Well, I like what this person is saying but they have the wrong genitalia and aren't muscular enough".

I like this a lot. Thank you king.

He didn't say he was any good, just better

My workplace has been going through some remodeling and I've been spending time shooting the breeze with the electricians especially, and they will spend countless hours giving their opinions on the work of the previous contractors!

The type of conduit used vs what they would have run, the number of cuts and fittings used, etc. They tell me about going into the local Walmart and judging the wire runs there. I have no doubt the residential ones are judging people's TV installs when they're in someone's house! 😆

It seems like healthy fun though, I've never seen anyone actually say anything real negative. Now when they mention the carpenters paying no mind to how the electrical will need to go, then that's where it gets dirty!

Six seasons and a movie!

Or if it's anything like some of the places I've lived, it's straight but the walls aren't...

Poss optical illusion from camera angle, also poss irrelevant once the display is in front of it.

You don't like gay bars?

He's calculated the precise amount the house will settle so that the TV is level in the end. THAT's how good he is.
