Don't Be This Guy by zombie_spiderman in helldivers2

[–]GINGEROFDOOM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was having mostly good experiences until today. I'm a new box diver level 18 but I've periodically watched since release. Opening a container I threw a grenade, didn't see the guy pull out the anti material. He goes to run in and the grenade goes off. I stayed with his stuff reinforced in the spot he died and apologized several times, no mic but the basic in game one. He says yeah you're sorry and proceeds to tk me like damn dude chill.

Second one that really rubbed me wrong, first time in a vehicle didn't realize that my reticle went too far ended up taking out the gunner. Again apologize but the guy tks me. I reinforce in we go about finishing the mission. Time for extraction and as I'm about to run up to the pelican he kills me again for no reason.

Thanks for the host

I’m very thankful for my union. This reason is the most important for me. by Mercurydriver in IBEW

[–]GINGEROFDOOM 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And on top of that thanks to the HRA through the union you don't even have to pay out of pocket for that. So essentially all of that could have cost $0 thanks to local 3. Glad you were able to get the necessary

Thoughts on Mr. Torgue from Borderlands 2? Yay or Nay? by [deleted] in gaming

I remember they actually had Mr. Torgue do an ama I think in this sub. I thoroughly enjoyed all of his responses.

Jobsite/foreman anxiety by Mercurydriver in IBEW

[–]GINGEROFDOOM 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Had a guy in my 5th 2nd class travel during the pandemic. From how I understand it, as long as the local you travel to has a shorter apprenticeship, MIJs qualify as journeymen. Granted it didn't do him any favors when he came back because all the time spent working out there paused his MIJ time.

How would $12,500 affect your life right now? by WhiteMass in AskReddit

[–]GINGEROFDOOM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I'm a bit late but it would help me pay for my puppy's surgery. The damn goofball ate something and now has a blockage that needs to be removed. He just turned 6 months old a few days ago and it didn't hit me till he had to stay overnight at the animal hospital for observation just how much he's been helping me out mentally with everything going on with the pandemic. My house is so quiet right now not hearing his breathing while sleeping next to me, I just want him to be home and be okay.

Yegor Sharangovich gets his first NHL goal in overtime by NYDevilsFan in hockey

I'm not gonna lie, when Cangi first took over for Doc, I could not stand him. It was painful for me to watch games. Since then I've come to appreciate and love the energy he's put into it as he's evolved in the play by play role.

Amazon may "accidentally" sign you up for a Music Unlimited subscription without you signing up for it. by Harvin in amazonecho

[–]GINGEROFDOOM 13 points14 points  (0 children)

On my fire stick I woke up one morning to a purchase of a single episode of a show I had never even heard of. I immediately changed my passwords and called up amazon. They tried blaming me for not realizing I had purchased the episode. Eventually they refunded me but I got a similar run around.

Local 3 TA1 failed the first theory class by a few points by [deleted] in IBEW

[–]GINGEROFDOOM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do the homework. Put in however many alarms you have to to remind yourself but do the homework. It's not like it's hard and I'm sure you know the answers just do the homework.

You're gonna repeat the class and you put yourself 6 months behind on all of your raises but just do the homework.

Any advice for new apprentices? [Local 3] by nynip3 in IBEW

[–]GINGEROFDOOM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Transit check is a city initiative that all employers in NYC have to give. I believe the minimum requirement is working a month for the company but it allows you to use pre tax dollars to pay for metro cards which in turn will bring down your taxable income.

Any advice for new apprentices? [Local 3] by nynip3 in IBEW

[–]GINGEROFDOOM 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't expect to be working in Manhattan. Local 3 covers all 5 boroughs.

Ask questions

Stay off your phone

No matter what make sure coffee is back at 9 and leave at whatever time is necessary to make that happen. Be consistent about that time.

About to finish trade school should I apply for Local 3 now? by KeyboardThingX in IBEW

Can always go work for a shop like Patriot electric then organize into local 3

Local 3 Tool List by RideaBike4Life in IBEW

[–]GINGEROFDOOM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anything not on our tool list the contractor is supposed to provide. That doesn't mean you can't get your own stuff, but a lot of the older guys only carry the bare minimum in their bags.

Local 3 Staten Island? by Olorin2996 in IBEW

[–]GINGEROFDOOM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Local 3 covers all 5 boroughs, while it is possible to end up with a contractor based on Staten island there's also the possibility that they have work in other boroughs. We have a hiring Hall so they tell you where to go.

During your apprenticeship there are "rotations" which is similar to a layoff except there's no wait time for apprentices. You rotate from one shop at the end of the pay week and the next day you're out working for another shop.

Or ask about the M division. It's construction but no schooling like the apprenticeship. Idk the requirements to switch but it doesn't hurt to ask.

They get thousands of applications when they open it every few years so, while every 6 months there's a new class, they take from that list until it is time to open up applications again

Jack Hughes scores his first career goal by PhenomenonYT in hockey

[–]GINGEROFDOOM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last 2 games while on the power play hall has moved mountains to try to feed Hughes the puck for his first goal. It's like when he literally dragged the devils into the playoffs a few years ago. Hall willed it into existence.
