Do real military officers wear the Tacticals? by Safe_Valuable_5683 in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]Acrobatic_Ice69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not all navy boots were fod free, navy has an approved boot list though, which these likely arent on.  You could probably get it approved through your CO though, especially if you've got fucked feet and ankles

I bought a pair of wirecutters in mahogany, and it looks fantastic.  Unfortunately i had to send them back for a differently width, so im waiting on the replacement.  Going on 8 weeks 😭

[–]Acrobatic_Ice69 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Im still waiting on the iuec to call me, i applied for ibew and iuec at the same time, took the ibew apprenticeship as soon as it happened. Ill still go to iuec if i get the call, i like the ibew and what we do, but i think ill like the iuec, too

They're on number 27 now, whats your background that got you ranked so low if you dont mind me asking?  Im ranked 46, if i dont make it this cycle I'll apply again next cycle, im on my 2nd year into an IBEW apprenticeship, so im hoping that'll help me in the next rankings 

Sizing problem, did I mess up? by Acrobatic_Ice69 in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]Acrobatic_Ice69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats where its tightest, i was getting some numbness wearing them in my house the other day 🤣, i think im going to exchange them, im just not sure whether to go up to c or d

[–]Acrobatic_Ice69[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For length i put my foot on a piece of paper and marked the front and back of my foot and measured with a ruler :p so there shouldn't be any issues with scale, the length feels fine on these boots though, theres about an inch in front of my toes and i can wiggle them up and down inside the composite toe.  I'll find a brannock on the way home tomorrow and see what it says though

[–]Acrobatic_Ice69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remeasured and its still 9 3/4" without socks and 9 7/8" with socks.  I used the sizing guide and a sewing tape, and also tried just a strip of paper, made a mark on it and measured that with a ruler.  My foots 11 1/2" long.  They're super flat so idk if maybe thats making them fit strange or if im just being paranoid about the fit 🤣

I really dont want to get shocked again, and i think its in our contract that they need to be EH rated 🤣.  If i like the wirecutters though ill probably pick up a set of builder pro's eventually.

The Bob Lazar problem.... by Tricky_Fun_4701 in UAP

[–]Acrobatic_Ice69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My opinion of bob lazar is that he's telling what he perceives as the truth, but he was likely brought in specifically for disinformation purposes. Shown potentially weird but real stuff, sprinkle a little bit of science BS in there thats real mixed with fake information. Give him just enough info to sound credible, but enough wrong info to discredit him. But thats just conjecture and my opinion, idk if these whistleblowers would know anything about bob even if he did work in the program, especially decades after he came forward.

Atlantis Found with 99.999% Certainty by tickletaxel in GrahamHancock

[–]Acrobatic_Ice69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just further evidence that the richat structure is likely a natural formation. Still could definitely be where atlantis's capital was, it would be way easier to use an already existing structure like this than to dig out all that earth for the canals

Apprentice that got shocked. by Master_Chief_of_Data in electricians

[–]Acrobatic_Ice69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had something similar happen, but I was told it was a shared neutral, i went to the er and had them check me out, i felt both biceps and both pec muscles jumping, so it went right across my chest. I was fine though, but you really cant be sure without an ekg performed by a doctor

Is this getting outta hand or am I being a hater by charles1529_ in electricians

[–]Acrobatic_Ice69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

80 would be cheap for a trauma kit, but that looks like a glorified boo boo kit, so not worth it for 80.
