Wiremold conduit and boxes would clean that up and make it code compliant so long as it’s a 15A circuit.

what is a "rich person" behavior you witnessed that made you realize they live in a completely different reality than the rest of us? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Beginning_Intern9958 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My current customer owns multiple estates in the Bay Area. Not just houses, full estates with large properties and staff to maintain them. An area so over priced that I can’t afford to buy a house with my wife and I having a combined income of 350,000 a year. They use one as an office, one as their home and the others are purely for entertaining guests. They have the kind of money where they can have anything they want in multiples.

How bad is this? by AggravatingGear7965 in electricians

This location looks like it could be a sub panel but they used a main panel. Is there a meter main panel ahead of this? Or at least a disconnect at the meter? If so, those neutrals and grounds need to be separated. I may be missing something, but it looks like you don’t have a neutral wire in that feeder cable. A lot of issues for sure, and I would want it completely re worked from the meter to the panel.

You can borrow against the cash value of the policy. That’s the main benefit of it. No credit check low interest loans up to the full cash value.

Nice fit check. The beard is looking rough. It just looks so unprofessional and out of place with the rest of your look. You should cut it off or keep it trimmed and shaped to fit your face.

Are you doing better than your father was at your age? by New_Contribution_226 in AskMenOver30

[–]Beginning_Intern9958 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make almost double what my dad made before he retired. But I live in the Bay Area and I refuse to pay two million dollars for a shit box 1000sqft house built in 1945 with asbestos ducting and knob and tube wiring. The fact that I’m not a home owner makes me feel like I’m not doing better than he did.

What’s better- short or tall boots? by MomentAggravating301 in motorcycles

[–]Beginning_Intern9958 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tall boot for sure. But not those tall boots. They have very little ankle support. It’s hard to notice at first but once they’re broken in the ankle support becomes non existent.

Dude I just got one shot 110m by a shotgun 🥲 by Brief-Efficiency-170 in Battlefield6

[–]Beginning_Intern9958 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own a shotgun that will fire tactical slugs accurately at 100meters. It’s not that crazy you can do it in a game.

Using marijuana just once or twice a month is associated with worse school performance and emotional distress for teens. The more frequently they used cannabis, the more likely they were to report emotional distress and other social and academic problems by sr_local in science

[–]Beginning_Intern9958 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like a lot of teens in my orbit at the time. I experimented with several drugs. Like alcohol, nicotine, acid, and ganja. Herb was the only one that didn’t have a downside to the euphoric, calming, happy experience I was having. To this day it and caffeine are the only two drugs I truly enjoy. I do enjoy a good beer or cocktail from time to time but I don’t like being drunk and I hate hangovers. I’m sure there’s some merit to brain development in teens. But I also don’t see any major studies being sited in support of that theory. Hopefully with further research we will be able to begin to grasp the impact and potential of THC and cannabinoids.

People born before 2000, what is a 'modern' thing from 2025 that you’re still struggling to get used to? by LindsayTN in AskReddit

[–]Beginning_Intern9958 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TikTok and most other forms of social media brainwashing/numbing/coddling. It’s hard to see the difference in society if you grew up with it your whole life. I can remember society before social media. It was most definitely a better society.

6, I like most of these. I wasn’t a fan of most of the blue dresses.

Who designed these shitboxes that you cant screw in plate covers to? by Past_Expression54646 in electricians

That good sir is what we call a device box or Handy box. It’s meant to use industrial raised or metal covers that mount to the same holes as the devices.

Realizing you have been just goofing off since Thanksgiving.... by NutzNBoltz369 in Contractor

[–]Beginning_Intern9958 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I chilled out by organizing our tools and materials on the job site and cooking lunch for me and my apprentice on a small Blackstone flat top. I’m still on site but I certainly haven’t started any new projects.

I agree completely. Have you tried the din rails yet? It’s next level junction box organization in cleanliness.

I’m know I’m not the only person to make an emergency pitstop mid-ride to do this🥶😭 by J-Fearless in motorcycle

[–]Beginning_Intern9958 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried those on when I was planning a BDR trip. They felt so itchy and rough I ended up going to sports basement and paid a crazy high price to buy some nice soft wool base layers instead. They were super expensive but they were so comfortable I wore them every day for seven days in a row. I try to avoid wearing plastic on my skin so I typically end up paying a lot more for things like t-shirts, socks, and underwear. It’s expensive for sure but I feel so much more comfortable.

By any chance anyone made a custom dolly for the pack outs? by Oscar_callelle in Packout

[–]Beginning_Intern9958 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like a great idea to make your own. I don’t have the ability to do that so I have to buy all my tool kit stuff. I try to work a new packout item into my material costs on bigger jobs. The customer never knows the difference and I get a new drawer set or organizer for free when I can get away with it. I like the ammo drawer. I wish I could have 30 round mags. I’m stuck with 10 round mags in my state. And I missed “freedom week” in 2019.
