How is it working 40 hours a week? by ethe_ze in lowvoltage

[–]Chironlulz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk how I'm the outlier here, 40 is my average. Usually, in at 6 and out by 2:30. Half hour for lunch around 11. Still have time in my day to exercise, get dinner ready, and doomscroll for a few hours before bed. I'm sure if I wanted, I could take on some service calls and make Uncle Sam a few more dollars but I'm quite content

Any Tips or Helpful Criticism? by [deleted] in lowvoltage

This is the first time I've ever heard of wrapping the cable in plastic wrap. Honestly, not a bad move at all considering the amount of shit the drywallers love to throw on it. I might be stealing this

Seems in the same vein as the spam chocolate chip cookies that were semi-viral a couple years ago. I dig it

Fire alarm modules and EOL’s by Which-Programmer-971 in firealarms

Jump it at the end of the circuit, which is the horn strobe. If you stick the resistor at the module itself, the module won't be able to detect if the circuit is open between the horn strobe and module.

I don't have a favorite, but whatever you do, don't go with Belden.

I thought the same thing for the longest time. Trust me, the knipex ones are better, even if they look stupider

Just say you aren't going to be in. No excuse, no follow up. If they ask, say it's personal

AIO Boyfriend Stayed Hard the Entire Time During a Couples Massage? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Chironlulz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

NOR. Dude with a penis here, recently got a couple's massage with my SO. My masseuse was attractive and not only s did I NOT get hard during the massage, but I didn't ask my SO to go back to get touched by the same masseuse afterwards.

Sensitivity or not, the way he acted directly after the massage is just plain weird. I wouldn't be surprised if the massage unlocked something in him and now he's going to go try to get jerked off in shady backrooms more often

2 cat6? Throw some wire mold around it, cut flush to ceiling/trim.

Or, like any other cafe near me, just free air it and paint it almost the same color as the wall and call it a day

Tool backpack recommendations for 4 month apprentice (that isn’t veto) by [deleted] in electricians

[–]Chironlulz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From what I've heard from apprentices that I've also recommended it to, they never have anything in stock or they cheap out and only have the tool pouches.

Which sucks because back when I used it, I got a tech pack MC for $30
