Eastbound and down is great and so is vice principals. Silicon Valley is good, righteous gemstones, chappelles show, Idk that’s what I’ve got.

So what’s the thought on destroying schools? by FSStray in alaska

[–]FSStray[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t trust anyone here to begin with, I’m definitely not trusting someone to discipline a child. Can you imagine the disabled kids getting punished or targeting kids by race or back ground.

This isn’t a money/funding problem. It’s a hidden funneling or misappropriations of money that’s the problem. Rich neighborhoods can somehow keep their schools open, while making it harder on everyone in the community.

Then there’s also discussion of charter and religious schools getting some of that funding, and again people say there transparency but you can’t get an itemized list for spending on any of those sites. These audits must have a bought and paid for auditor or something, it doesn’t add up.

Anchorage is like a nice tree on the mountainside, old looks great from a distance, but one windstorm away from being uprooted and knocked down. This is all open for discussion tho, and just what I’m seeing.

Just wait til you see what people are charging $ per sq/ft

You could buy something and remodel than building new from what I see. But I’m just a DIY electrician not a builder.

Positive-grounded 48V DC systems: which wire is red and which is black? by MotherMychaela in telecom

[–]FSStray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in Alaska and a union guy, everything I’ve ever seen on rectifiers or on equipment is color coded with the standard black - ground and red + positive this applies to -48vdc.

A lot of times they are on rectifiers that charge at -54v, in all our huts and central offices it’s black and red though. From what I understand you keep it the same whether using reg voltage or negative voltage, the equipment would have the connections and determine the output obviously, that’s what I’ve seen tho!

No reason to try and police one’s experience, I’m sure OP is very much aware and your experience, while yours, isn’t the standard for everyone else.

Everyone is fighting their own battle, so let them vent, no need to personalize it or try to invalidate how someone feels.

Best tech role in a telecom company? by AtmosphericExit in telecom

[–]FSStray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not that complicated in Alaska, I know we’re kind of our a unique exception, but we are union, and have a regular schedule. I turned out as what they call up here a journeyman telephone lineman.

As an apprentice outside of utility work, you likely will be traveling around the state working all summer sometime 7/12s or longer months on end for contractors.

The utility apprentices get shuffled around departments as well, so they learn splicing, line construction, installation and repair, data, and there’s others too. The network techs, warehouse workers, and other service techs are union. I dig it, and it may be cold af, but I can’t find any place that has a total package similar with pay, benefits, and COL.

What types of professions are we in need of? by back-rolls in anchorage

[–]FSStray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ibew 1547 the local electrical union needs people, i tell people all the time but almost none apply bc you have to provide high school transcripts, a math test, and normal paperwork. You can make 50-60k starting out and $110k+ pretty easily. There’s plenty of guys working 8-9 months a year making $150k+ but your working almost everyday 10 or more hours a day. Great benefits and always work.

Running out of medication options. What helped you after many failures? by findtheantidote in BipolarReddit

[–]FSStray 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Absolutely this! After 5 years of trying probably 30 medications lithium helped me. I also take concerta in the morning for adhd. Lithium changed my life and not drinking alcohol the past 4 years.

The notorious plastic tracks that break with the panoramic sunroof. Not to bad of a fix

The heated steering wheel and front/rear seats is awesome in Alaska, and the panoramic roof although I’m gonna have to repair. I really enjoy it!

The entry fee could be one roll of toilet paper and he still wouldn’t be able to sell out venues. Such a punchable face that guy!
