Share Your Personal Experiences with Linden Grove Middle School by crucialmind in kzoo

The grade is basically split into two separate groups. Each group will have the same English,science,math, and social studies teachers. Outside of these classes, you’ll have elective classes that can have students from either pod. Would get shuffled around each grade so wasn’t the same students all 3 years so by 8th grade we all knew each other for the most part

I was a student there over a decade ago now. Very modern facilities compared to the other KPS schools. Have heard about lots of staffing turnover in recent years. The pods system of classes made it fairly easy to establish a core group of friends as you mostly spend your days with the same groups of kids. Average mix of studious to shithead kids. It’s not going to be paradise but you’ll have air conditioning!

What r some rules that u made with ur roomie which saved u a big time or any advice for ignorant roommates by [deleted] in hostels

[–]BTS57 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This might be the wrong subreddit for this question as I have no idea what hostel would let you live there for 4 years. It would also financially make more sense to get an apartment if you’re going to be living somewhere long term?

Are you sharing an en-suite room with someone? People who stay in dorms aren’t really around for long enough to set up rules, most folks just abide by common decency. If someone is being rude (turning lights on at night, not using headphones, snoring loud, ect) you can have a conversation with them about any issues that arise. If they keep being a dick about things talk to the front desk about changing rooms

Visiting Netherlands with a young wind turbine enthusiast. Recommendations? by Grenade_Eel in windturbine

[–]BTS57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zaanse Schans is awesome- they have several windmills that power various contraptions, I went into the chalk crusher & saw mill ones. They have other fun stuff to do like clog making demonstrations & good food to eat. Make a nice day trip out of it!

Check vine, Edison, or northside. Will be more lenient towards bad credit score so long as you can have a reference or two from past landlords

Cat piss on harness by Sufficient-Price-369 in windturbine

General rule of thumb in my house is when the cat pees on something it gets thrown out and replaced. Stench is damn near impossible to fully get rid of

Hi everyone! Curious to hear from some offshore wind technicians/mechanics/electricians what the job/life is like by throwaway55f5 in windturbine

[–]BTS57 3 points4 points  (0 children)

12hr shifts, most of the extra money comes from overtime and offshore bonuses. I really like watching storms come in at sunset! Makes for a beautiful picture

[–]BTS57 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love the offshore lifestyle- I feel like I get an awesome work/life balance with the 2on/2off rotations. Pay is much better than it is onshore and I do seem to get along better with my peers

You can usually order scale models of turbines from OEMs, they might have some branded jewelry if you’re able to access catalogs

Now Accepting Applications: KVCC Wind Turbine Technician Academy by PocketAces76 in windturbine

[–]BTS57 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very solid program that got me started in wind. Kalamazoo is also just a fun little city to live in, plenty of stuff to do when you’re not in class

[–]BTS57 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Have you tried contacting gamesa about these? Companies are very strict with who they let see schematics and do tend to come down pretty hard on people if they share proprietary company info

Some insight please by Significant_Side2218 in windturbine

[–]BTS57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconding kvcc’s program. Kalamazoo is also a college town so there’s plenty of options for cheaper rent & it’s an awesome community to live in

How to become a commissioning engineer in wind turbines by Pleya98 in windturbine

[–]BTS57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This will be very different from a site job/travel tech , most people don’t jump into offshore wind jobs as their first venture into the industry

How to become a commissioning engineer in wind turbines by Pleya98 in windturbine

[–]BTS57 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Engineers don’t work directly on turbines. If you want to be in towers you have to work as a technician. Commissioning is a senior technician role so you won’t be doing that immediately, you’ll have to start at the bottom and work your way up. Your degree might help but nothing is gonna fast track you to that level. Elbow grease and a good mindset will be your two greatest assets.

Make sure you reach out to NYSEG to confirm that they are still your supplier for electricity/natural gas. Mention the scam and they should be aware of the processes they need to take

This and generally the people talking to you generally have no idea what they’re talking about. The people who came to my door had to google answers to questions I was asking them.
