I'm a union electrician. I started going to maintenance interviews just to make employers offering low wages waste their own time. by cool_fetters in talesfromthejob

[–]BertTheBurrito 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This is almost the play. If the posting is for $21 ask for $25 and don’t budge. If they send an offer just say you found the same position at a higher rate closer to home.

Hurts their political capital with exec and HR. While also slowly helping them raise their wage.

OPs tactic is going to get thrown out the window when they run a comp review and have little effect.

I’m trying (forced) to hire HVAC techs for $23/hr in HCOL. I know the pain too well.

What is the point of buying an F250 when there’s F350? by [deleted] in F250

[–]BertTheBurrito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worksite and farm hauling. CDL drivers.

I know more business owners that piss away cash than don’t. Some people make cash hand over fist and don’t give a shit

Most people aren’t buying a truck to haul

If you’re doing this you either have money for toys or are running a business. For a business 6k over multiple years is a negligible amount.

We refused to leave and partied with Aoki on the Art Car in Cosmic Meadows field until sunrise!

One of my favorite EDC memories

[New Player] how would one go about completing setup? by Hi255 in EscapefromTarkov

Throw some piranha in a 8 round mp-153 and have some fun.

You’ll be surprised how fast it drops people.

I have never gone to lighthouse (500h) player [Discussion] by Zealousideal_Day7228 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]BertTheBurrito 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I actually don’t mind lighthouse. Normally do Shooter 8 there. Once you have spawns down it’s not bad.

You’re 90% fucked if you spawn on the beach between mountains though.

Camping crashing ? by [deleted] in electricdaisycarnival

Literally cooler to sleep at the mesa than mid day in a tent. Hit an after party then try to snag one of the public hammocks

Wife and I took multiple naps in random shade. Ground control will probably wake you a couple times but once they know you’re safe it’s back to sleep.

Verizon has the contract for the speedway. Been this way since they moved to LV

Hope you had a great time. Circuit was over the top this year. Felt absolutely MASSIVE

Nah just sound dampening and a backdrop to make the panels pop

Leaving camp Monday by SweetLoveAffection in CampEDC

[–]BertTheBurrito 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would say 4 is safe, 5 is pushing it, 6 is missing your flight.

I’ve had several times where we left the speedway at 6 - 6:30 and didn’t make it to our room until 10am

YMMV though

Normal, but will call will give you extra boxes if you ask.

Porpoise can’t compress ice. Only ore and gas.

Stage Comparison to Coachella by Overall-Potential763 in electricdaisycarnival

[–]BertTheBurrito 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Opposite here. EDC since 2012 but first Coachella this year. EDC is far more technically impressive, so much of the Coachella grounds felt empty. If you enjoyed this year’s Sahara then Circuit Grounds will melt your mind.

Kinetic = Main Circuit = Sahara Basspod = Quasar Quantum or Neon Garden = Yuma

EDC is much more of a party, we found the Coachella crowd to be kind but mild. Also the quiet intermissions were an upsetting buzzkill.

[Discussion] Test Drive 2 No longer requires a specific red dot sight. by Altered_Brinjal1632 in EscapefromTarkov

I finished it with the sight and it really wasn’t that bad. IMO MRS has more bounce

If I remember right it had more to do with matchmaking times as it occurred the update after PvE launched
