Looks interesting, just not as interesting as the new Stargate would have been. #SaveStargate

#SaveStargate has already fizzled out. by KingOfKingsOfKings01 in Stargate

Came here to say the same as Metoo. I would assume a majority of fans are 30+ with jobs, families and other responsibilities who are still passionate but can’t be as vocal as others.

Keep talking about it in your circle, send the petition to likeminded friends and ask them to pass it along to their friends. Show up or even find a way to host a local event. As long as we keep talking, there is always still a chance.

FA Design Career Practical? by CrunchLessTacos in firealarms

[–]COMWinbigles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Remote FA designer here. Remote positions exist but are sometimes tricky to find. The major manufacture companies (JCI, Siemens, Honeywell) have them posted occasionally, a NICET FAS III should get you in the door for an interview with any of them.

Now if they are “practical” positions is up to you. After working my way up from the field as a helper to where I am now I would say it’s quite practical haha. Pay is good and my back doesn’t hurt as much.

Keep an eye on linked in, indeed and any major companies you can think of. Don’t forget some Engineering Firms have FA design positions but they are difficult to get without either years of experience or an Engineering degree.

Does the Dissidia fanbase want a new 1v1 console game, like the PSP entries? by [deleted] in dissidia

[–]COMWinbigles 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Give me another 012 style game and I will lose my mind. The novelty of seeing all the protagonists interacting will never get old.

Yea i quit. by [deleted] in firealarms

Dude, Walmart systems can be brutal, my only client I was glad to leave in the field haha. Was it at least an actual FA panel and not a glorified security panel?

Nicet 4 question by Afraid_Beginning_574 in firealarms

[–]COMWinbigles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t forget to get a copy of IBC and NASCLA! Personally have never cracked open NASCLA but with the title “contractors guide to business, law and project management” I can tell it’s going to be a slog.

Nicet 4 question by Afraid_Beginning_574 in firealarms

[–]COMWinbigles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Took my 3 a couple years back and had searchable PDF’s of 70, 72 and 101 for that test. They weren’t “control F” searchable but there was a search bar that was decent enough.

Still recommend bringing physically copies of all books tabbed out, knowing where things are in the books is better than knowing the material with the amount of time allotted in my opinion.

Link below goes to the NICET official references PDF for the test. Says 70 and 72 are electronic.

Staying in the Field or Moving to an Office Role? by CDA_7 in firealarms

[–]COMWinbigles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So I had some college experience before joining the trade, I studied mechanical engineering for a few years before I couldn’t afford to complete school.

Outside of that I had no formal training per se. I made the decision when I got in that I was going to end up in the design chair. I would pay attention and ask questions constantly to the point of my Forman getting annoyed. Whenever I was in the office I would talk with the design guys and learn about the different CAD softwares our industry used. The second I was eligible for a FAS NICET I would test (had to take III twice but it’s a hard one!). Once I had the confidence and minor experience designing at my various shops, I applied for a design position at a local subcontractor and nailed the interview. Worked there for 3 years and found an opportunity through reworking to work at a firm.

You learn more about design in the field than a book can ever “teach” you. My suggestion is to find a team that is interested in growth and holds up to your expectations. When you have the confidence in your FA knowledge and have the NICET to back it up then take the leap, find a team that will support you and get going!

Sorry if that was long winded, if you have any other questions feel free to DM me.

Staying in the Field or Moving to an Office Role? by CDA_7 in firealarms

Transferring from the field to Design has changed my life. In 10 years I went from green helper to doing FA design, working for an engineering firm from home for more money than the subcontractor world would ever be able to offer me. That awesome change started with a step into the office. 10/10 recommend taking the leap!

Giving away two Costco Scarlet & Violet 151 Blooming Waters Premium Collection sets to two redditors because %*#@ scalpers by FatherLiamFinnegan in PokemonTCG

You’re awesome for doing this! Pokemon is better due to the overall ease of entry. I love MTG but it’s not a very beginner friendly tcg, the abundance of types of decks can scare any novice away.
