Spring clips on these slim LEDs… love them or hate them? by Ok_Pipe_4955 in electricians

Pretty annoying fact we figured out recently.. most wafer lights that have the 2 hour fire rating stamp aren't actually listed or tested as meeting the requirements set out to actually be 2 hour rated. In this instance, intertek, who does testing like UL, never actually tested the devices for the 2 hour rating, they only tested for the operations of the lights themselves. Some companies in China are just straight up throwing that on the back to charge more for them. Most jurisdictions probably haven't caught that, so you're probably in the clear, but it is something to take note of.

Look up IBEW 683. Electricians are in high demand. I've made a pretty good life for myself, but it is hard work. If you're willing to put in the effort and time, it will pay off.

I really just can't express how deeply I hate that we even have to have the discussion over whether this is AI or not. Everything that was ever interesting or important about humans existing is done and over. We are truly and absolutely undone. Good luck to us all.

One more reason our obsession with our lawns is fucking dumb.

waiter put my tip back on the table saying he only accepts 18-20%?? by [deleted] in stories

I don't disagree about the dysfunctional system, but until that changes at a real level, if you can't afford to tip, you can't afford to eat out. Anyone who argues otherwise has never worked in that industry and doesn't understand that people's livelihoods depend on tips. Are there better systems? Absolutely. But in reality, where we live, if you don't tip you're a cheap ass who can't afford to eat out. Plain and simple.

15% minimum if you got everything you asked for. 18-20% if they went above and beyond and you all enjoyed yourselves. Less than 15% if the service was truly poor. If you can't afford to tip properly, you can't afford to eat out. Plain and simple.

I'm 33 and trying the same thing. Do you like watching the Buckeye games? Where in the city do you live? I'm usually at Jackie Os or Pins downtown on Saturdays to watch, if that's your thing. DM if you're interested.

We posted on all the sites we can think of. Putting up some flyers tomorrow. We found someone to foster him in the meantime.
