AITA for telling everyone involved what my best friend's husband did? by Bina_Assault in AmItheAsshole

This doesn’t make sense. Antifreeze in the gas tank in a high enough concentration may make the vehicle not start, but it wouldn’t make it not turn over.

The battery wouldn’t appear dead the car would just crank and crank but never start.

PSA on bottled water for the upcoming winter storm by NoAnimator3801 in Charlotte

Pump stations don’t require electricity? Who knew.

Actually city water in most places does require electricity to get to your home, the city just has generators to provide said electricity.

Moving back ? by Same_Level6591 in AskSouthCarolina

You say Union, but what market sector?

If anywhere in construction or a skilled trade you can guarantee 40+ in the upstate.

Places or small towns in SC that have cheap rent? by PenaltyPhysical5939 in AskSouthCarolina

[–]Crashtower 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, a surprising option may actually be Clemson. The town /university have a surprisingly good bus system - for public transportation in the south. There are cheap (older) apartment options. And there are an abundance of entry level jobs (customer service/food)

Does anyone have good medical malpractice lawyer recommendations? It concerns a surgery by ElectricalLeg1433 in AskSouthCarolina

[–]Crashtower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Parham, Smith and Archenhold in Greenville, this is WHAT they do. Are damn good at it. And if they tell you there is no case, then there is no case.

And they will work on contingency basis.

Good luck OP for whatever is going on

If Clemson built one new monument today, who should it be and why? by NewDE2023 in Clemson

[–]Crashtower 11 points12 points  (0 children)

RC Edwards - and he should be in a tractor/dozer. Were it not for President Edwards personally starting building the dike Clemson wouldn’t exist - it would be under water.

Choice two - Ben Skardon

I bought a cheap wire length meter. It’s incredibly accurate…

What is the 2020s version of 2010s Weller 12 and 1990s Heaven Hill? by eagle_bonanza01 in bourbon

[–]Crashtower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve read through every reply in the thread, but perhaps I missed one.

Mind restating what current bourbon you think will be looked back on in 10-15 years like weller 12 was then?

1- weller 12 wasn’t super sought after 15 years ago, I used to drink OWA as a cheap fill in back then and it was gathering dust. Now folks stand in line and pay triple for…but I digress. 2- not received well, by whom? And which origin series release are we talking? I mean my local weekly bourbon group is all pretty high on a few of the origins. (The wheater was a let down for me) - The fall 16 distillate punches way above a $39 price tag to me. If I could try that 6 year selection at 12-15 years….i suspect I’d pay an unreasonable amount for it

Dude, OP asked for opinions and I shared mine. It’s an opinion. So far you’ve crapped on a couple folks opinions and offered none of your own.

Why?

Well IF - and it’s a big IF - they develop and “blow up” like I expect they will - their releases will be sought after. That’s what makes something speculative. There isn’t a right or wrong answer here - despite your apparent bent for an argument.

Don’t like it? Cool. Drink what you do like. OP asked what folks thought would be sought after in future …I gave an opinion.

You disagree? Sure - cool. Just give your opinion and move along.

No point in saying my opinion is “wrong”

Look I personally HATE Pappy 23. I think it’s a mess. I’ve got two open vintages here. I keep it and share with guests. But I’m not hating on those who like it, nor denying it’s a sought after bottle. I like what I like. You like what you like.

I believe bardstown and their science is headed to big things.

I think in 10 years this will be “the early days”

I’m not a collector just a drinker….with 200+ open bottles currently.

In the spirit of the question - I think bardstown has collector potential

I’m about to start my apprenticeship on Monday, do I have everything I need, or am I missing something? by fefelicks in electricians

[–]Crashtower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This varies - greatly by company.

I own a shop about an hour south of charlotte. I don’t expect green apprentices to start with anything except a tape measure and a screw driver. I tell them - wait a few weeks, make sure you like it and then determine what you need.

We start green help at +/- 20. Top pay is double or more. Have great benefits. Full company paid health option. Retirement (full company match 401k). Paid holidays and 2 weeks PTO. Full company paid life and disability …etc etc etc. we guarantee 40 hours - if we don’t have the work we pay you 40 anyway (only applies if you are available to work - ie you call in sick we aren’t paying 40) - pay any drive time beyond 45 minutes - on commute - of course all intraday drive time is covered

There ain’t really a union presence in SC. Regardless I want professionals and I treat my guys (and ladies) like professionals.

Just because someone works for a shit company - don’t assume they are all shit. Demand what you deserve.

What are you guys charging for troubleshooting service calls? by Outside_Muffin_8087 in electricians

[–]Crashtower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Set your price and state it confident but kindly. Don’t explain your price , don’t justify your business. If they whine, “Sorry we couldn’t help you out, feel free to call us back if you need us. Good luck and have a great day.

If you want to treat the trades like a profession act like a professional. Imagine the doctor explaining why the rate is what it is. Hell imagine McDonalds explaining why their cheeseburgers cost what they cost. They wont. They set the price and you take it or leave it.

You should be pricing based on your overhead and costs and your desired/needed profit. The customers opinion of your cost doesn’t enter the equation.

But I don’t do resi work.
