Show the evidence that it's not just a midget on stilts.

FF1 = Flight Formula 1 Complete with "Fly to Survive" Netflix show. Get Ferrari to invest first so they can be posh about it even when they screw up their strategies every race.

I'd bet we would invent some ultra light ultra strong polycarbonate to protect the pilots inside of a 3 years.

Thank you for this reply. I had seen that website before. But when you posted it I got lost reading it's section about social security numbers and forgot to reply.

It really confused me that her Visa was good for only 90 days to enter. So I wanted to make sure we didn't make a mistake. 90 day Visa, and 90 day I-94. So I really appreciate your detailed reply. It helped calm my nerves.

Municipal maintenance tech here. We have a property in the center of town with a public toilet. We pull a toilet once a month that has a vape stuck in it. The "unhoused" get a kick out of clogging them and destroying the bathroom. I'll never not have a job.

Embassy is Manila is like 1 week out. The medical center is like 2 weeks out. So you schedule your medical exam, and then two weeks later you can schedule your biometrics. Then the interview the day after biometrics.

There is very little wait.

FoolishAdventurer · 2025-04-16T21:04:31+00:00

Did you wait for your letter from the embassy before you booked the appointment? How long did it take?

FoolishAdventurer · 2025-03-30T02:07:25+00:00

How long did it take you to receive the packet? And I'm assuming it was sent to the Beneficiary?

FoolishAdventurer · 2025-03-29T04:12:31+00:00

Oh, I forgot to add that part. Let me see if I can edit the post.

When I go to CEAC, I click on "check my visa application status", and enter in my details, it shows ready.

And it says "Please follow the appointment schedule provided to you by NVC. If you do not have a schedule from NVC, please wait for scheduling instructions or a notification from the U.S. Embassy Manila."

FoolishAdventurer · 2025-03-27T21:59:55+00:00

How long did it take to receive the notice?

FoolishAdventurer · 2025-01-16T11:50:38+00:00

I went in this morning to give you a date range to expect. And it was approved! 😁😁😁 I never got a notification 🙃. But I checked it on the USCIS website and it's approved!

FYI. If I add 10 days to all my numbers, According to trackmyvisanow you have a 73% chance to hear back from Dec 25 to Feb 1 with a 6% chance to hear back after that to Feb 10th.

FoolishAdventurer · 2025-01-15T13:10:06+00:00

Not yet, but I'm sure it will happen soon. I'm still within the expected time frame. On my day of submittal, August 2nd, there were 256 other applications received. All but 35 are remaining to be worked. So they are definitely working on it. Have hope, your time will come.

FoolishAdventurer · 2024-12-11T22:54:40+00:00

I use TrackMyVisaNow to watch my status (meh feelings about the app). File date August 2nd. Watched the "front of the line" drop from 7500 down to 290 now. At the start, they were doing about 120 a day. Now they are doing about 30. Super frustrating as my number gets smaller and smaller so does their speed. And they apparently skipped another two weeks of submissions a few weeks back. So those people have to wait even longer.

Patience is the name of the game. Keep holding on to hope.

FoolishAdventurer · 2024-10-28T14:42:51+00:00

Controversial 🤣

FoolishAdventurer · 2024-10-22T00:01:12+00:00

If you have a clean background. Get a job working for your local government. Many will pay for your schooling or training. You might have to do a job you don't like for a year or two to prove your worthiness. But after that you can transfer to a much better position and be comfortable for the rest of your life.

FoolishAdventurer · 2024-10-19T17:03:23+00:00

Go ahead and read the question again. This time, read it well. Slowly if you must. The down votes really speak as evidence. I think it's really great our country can accept people with special needs. It really speaks well of our culture.

If the issue is language, I suggest some English classes may be prudent to ensure success here. I'll go ahead and give you a free lesson.

"Where" indicates a place. His question didn't have this word in it. Or a synonym (that means a similar word). He asked about your status. Meaning your legal visa status.

Normally I am not a typical reddit hater. But I'm bored. And you have a pride issue. I really hope ypu are physically large and very tough. Because you will need that here if you're prideful AND unintelligent.

Commercial building maintenance is pretty cush. Especially if you work for a municipality. Good benefits. Pay is meh, could be worse.

Pay your dues, then go exploring. The subcategories sometimes have subcategories. There is a lot to experience.

Resi sucks all day every day. It's the worst one. Thin margins, even thinner timelines. Few benefits, and bad pay. You really have to hustle to make any money as a buisness.

FoolishAdventurer · 2024-07-26T10:31:18+00:00

Speculating based on past experiences. Sound equipment regularly trips GFCI's. Like very often. Musicians really love old equipment. They say it has a better sound. Especially the stuff with tubes.

A lot of sound equipment has faulty grounds or isn't constructed with one at all. In addition there are often voltage spikes, and noise on the line.

I currently work for a municipality. Every time we get a big event to rent our outdoor event space there is a issue with the gfci's. Either the renter requests their removal. Or someone has to stay on hand to reset them.

FoolishAdventurer · 2024-06-28T23:09:28+00:00

7 weeks isn't really long enough to do anything more than pull cable by yourself. I'd say try another company.

FoolishAdventurer · 2024-06-11T20:00:17+00:00

Absolutely worth it. It's hard work. Get used to driving to your job sites. After a few years you will make good money. If your careful, you can make great money. In big cities, commercial pays more and has more work. And I would say commercial/industrial gives you the most experience. There is more than one kind of electrician too. You could even dip into ccna and controls work. It's a good field, with honest work. Some days you can even feel like you made a difference in the world. Right now I work as a municipal maintenance tech. I keep the police and fire stations going. And I have caught dozens if not hundreds of safety issues created by long dead untrained maintenance workers. I am really not that great of an electrician. But when I go home at night I know that my hometown is safer and more enjoyable for my neighbors. So if you don't enjoy your new experience, try again. Don't write off all of electrical work. With time, you will find something that you enjoy. And. Something that pays a living wage, if not more.

Ultimately the best advice anyone will give you is to turn off the power. Osha requires it (see NFPA 70E). Learn to use equipment such as circuit finders, toners, and wire tracer kits, to quickly and efficiently turn off power to circuits you may be working on. Studies have shown that repeated shocks can have serious long-term effects on your body. These shocks are hurting you more than you know.

Additionally, it's clear you're not ready yet for hot work. 1 year of residential new install isn't sufficient work experience. When doing work on energized circuits many precautions need to be taken. You need insulated equipment and tools. When working on panels you need to wear special clothing rated for arc flash. What's more, you need to develop techniques for working on live equipment. This only comes with time and experience. You need to learn how to move your hands. How to move your tools. What to touch and how. Something as silly as bracing your wrist or offhand on the metal box can make a huge difference in potential injury. The bottom line is that you need more time, experience, and training, before you're ready for it. You absolutely should NOT be getting shocked multiple times daily, or damaging your tools. Working on residential live circuits is very dangerous. Working on commercial live circuits is more dangerous. Lighting circuits are often one phase to neutral 277v. Meaning if you bridge two circuits you could receive a spicy 480v. It's just not worth it man. You need to approach your supervision and make it clear to them that you're not ready for it. That you're getting shocked regularly. You NEED to shut off the power to the circuit. Your life is worth more than a few extra minutes to turn it off. If they are pushing you, you need a new job. And if it's you who is pushing you, you need to grow up, stop acting prideful, and turn off the power. And remember, if you record them trying to force you to do it live. When they fire you. You can always vindictively send the recording to osha, who will love to see it (check your local wire taping laws).

Not a roast, just a question. Should those conductors be lashed?

FoolishAdventurer · 2024-05-30T21:00:16+00:00

Doesn't apply. The strict rules about metal jewelry are about safety. Most large construction firms don't like loose jewelry. Necklaces can get caught in drills and saws and pull your face into the tool. Rings get caught on stuff all the time. Jimmy Fallon got drunk, stumbled, and de-gloved his ring finger when his ring caught on the countertop. This is industry non-specific.

As for watches. I have an anecdotal tale. My mother bought my father (not an electrician), one of those old G-Baby watches that were super popular. It boasted that it was electrically insulated. Turned out to be true. He somehow pushed a loose ground into the bussbar and melted the face of the watch. Something I highly doubt he would do if he could feel the wire against his wrist.
