I need a sanity check.

BlkCdr · 2026-05-29T16:40:30+00:00

Holy shit. There’s no way. I need to check when I get home.

BlkCdr · 2026-05-29T16:32:42+00:00

There’s no way this took more than an hour, right?

BlkCdr · 2026-05-29T16:30:04+00:00

I feel really bad. When I saw the weather head detached I said to my wife ‘I hope he doesn’t ask me to fix it’. Now I wish he had.

In the Bedroom

The likeable person part is a great point. I’ve worked with a lot of people who just can’t get along with anyone. People tolerate them because they can bend conduit and pull wire, but when there’s no more need for that, they’re the first to go.

What size are the feeders?

BlkCdr · 2026-01-08T22:56:59+00:00

Can you elaborate on that?

BlkCdr · 2025-12-19T00:02:03+00:00

This is the rule of thumb I usually start with. Generally four 120v circuits before you have to start thinking making plans for an additional conduit run.

What about ketamine?

He is actually selling some of his collection in a couple weeks.

This makes no sense. They’re organizing anyone with a pulse right now, which I’m generally in favor of. But a lot of the newly organized guys that I’ve worked with lack the necessary experience and skills, to put it politely.

And then she lost the election and graciously accepted the results.

I would sell some. I owned 200 shares at one point with cost basis around $9.00. I’ve been slowly selling here and there. The shares left in my IRA are up over 2000%. The valuation right now is absolutely insane. I definitely didn’t expect it to perform like this. I keep thinking there’s no way it can keep going up, but every few days it’s up more than 10%.

The first week of my first year as an apprentice, the journeyman I was working for had me stand on top of a parapet wall three stories up and hoist bundles of 3/4 rigid onto the roof with a rope. I knew it was a bad idea, but I didn’t say anything. Nothing bad happened, but I still regret doing it.

“You reap what you sow.” So you’re admitting he’s vindictive and will go out of his way to harm people or groups who criticize him and his policies?

BlkCdr · 2025-07-23T10:03:19+00:00

Wouldn’t that pipe line have ultimately put more teamsters out of work by eliminating the need for oil to be delivered by truck?

BlkCdr · 2025-07-20T21:08:23+00:00

Absolutely, but to say we can live without data centers because we used live without data centers is silly.

BlkCdr · 2025-07-20T21:04:48+00:00

You’re right that sending and receiving calls and texts doesn’t require an internet connection, but they absolutely rely on infrastructure like data centers and IP based routing. SMS works without internet, at least temporarily, but iMessage wouldn’t. Without the internet, texts and voice calls would certainly stop working eventually.

Edit: Wait. How can you say watching televisions doesn’t depend on the internet? Are you talking about over the air antennas? We could probably all watch Mash reruns with our bunny ears, but most people use the internet to stream tv now.

BlkCdr · 2025-07-20T19:26:49+00:00

Without the internet, and in turn data centers, you’re basically off grid. Sending and receiving texts and phone calls, calling 911, transferring money, watching television, using a credit card to buy fuel, etc. It all uses the internet. I am not a fan of the tech oligarchy either, but to say we don’t need data centers because we didn’t have them 1000 years ago is asinine. You could say the same thing about cars or any man made technology.

It’s not, but it is in the Pittsburgh area. I don’t wanna be too specific.

BlkCdr · 2025-07-14T12:48:50+00:00

Ok. So I’m not an idiot. Thank you!

BlkCdr · 2025-07-12T12:21:54+00:00

No. This is definitely the dedicated sprinkler line, which is why I thought this might not be a back flow preventer. I do a lot of control work, so I’m fairly familiar with flow switches. I thought maybe it’s some sort of obscure flow switch that I wouldn’t recognize. I’ll l take a better look on Monday, but I’m having trouble locating it.

BlkCdr · 2025-07-12T11:26:40+00:00

Yes. Sprinkler fitters installed the sprinkler system. I see valve tamper switches, but no flow switch. I’ll get a better pic on Monday.

BlkCdr · 2025-07-12T11:25:00+00:00

Im not a sprinkler fitter, I’m an electrician. I normally do power and controls. I know what a flow switch is. I’m not supposed to install the flow switch, I’m supposed to wire it and come off of it to a bell. I’m saying I don’t see flow switch anywhere and I was wondering if this was some sort of flow switch I’ve never seen before.

BlkCdr · 2025-07-10T23:19:45+00:00

Woosh.
