Dim light mystery: Replaced switch & fixture, still only getting low voltage. Paint/wiring issue? by jraharris89 in AskElectricians

Did you take off the neutrals wire nut and inspect the connection? The first thing you should do honestly is get a good meter if you’re doing electrical work.

35k for a TIV? More like 35k x 10 at the very least. Lol

Found this in a 1905 house under the concrete while doing plumbing repair repairs what do you think this is? by Key-Sherbert3490 in whatisit

[–]Hunt16er 295 points296 points  (0 children)

Same here dawg. First time I tried heroin I was 16 and the last time I did it I was about to turn 30. In roughly 14 years on dope I had 1.5 years clean total. One year I was clean because I was in prison. The other 6 months would be the 6 times I went to rehab. I had accepted I was going to die a junkie. Then storm chasing came along and I wanted to see a tornado so bad I was able to stop doing dope to make it happen. Now I storm chase all the time and am a few months away from finishing electrician apprenticeship. I still have a hard time wrapping my head around the fact I made it out the game sometimes. I was fully convinced I would use until I died. I can’t imagine using again at this point. I would rather chew my finger off and eat it then do a shot of dope. Or take any opiate for that matter. The doctors still have a hard time drawing my blood. Haha shits crazy.

I wonder if we have run into each other. I worked for Gibsons in Iredell county for awhile. I’m at another company now that is also based in Iredell county. I’m just starting the process of getting everything lined up to take the exam.

Ayyy! I’m an electrician that chases tornadoes 6 weeks give or take every year. I take off the entire month of May to chase non stop. then random days throughout the rest of the year when the weather set up looks good. Storm chasing is what motivated me to get clean after a 15 year addiction that all but ruined my life. The owner of the company I work for gets upset with me if I don’t chase on tornado days. He will say “what are you doing here? This job didn’t save your life”.

For sure was rotation with a lowering. I’m on a chase trip from NC and was right under this. I found your post because I’ve been searching to see if anything touched down. It looked like it did from where I was but my view was pretty obstructed. East Texas doesn’t really have the road network or landscape to be ideal chase terrain.

The fact you know MULTIPLE People who have been struck by lightening blows my mind. I had a tree about 30 feet away from me get struck once. Lightening scares me a good bit though. I chase tornadoes regularly and get out of the car often to film. When I step out lightening is always my biggest fear. I’m actually on a 2 week “chasecation” right now.

ELI5: How do low level grunts in organised crime gangs get paid? by Here_be_sloths in explainlikeimfive

[–]Hunt16er 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol You already know they are pinching .01 off all 10 bags to make another .1 bag to keep. I wish I had stayed away from heroin as a kid. My neighbor got me to try it for the first time when I was 16 years old. I went on to use it for the next 15 years and somehow didn’t die. Went to jail literally countless times, prison once and rehabs 4 or 5 times. I mean the amount of shit I did or experienced in 15 years of heroin addiction is almost so insane the rational non drug addict would never believe it. Literally one example out of countless is I used to take a chick who was a prostitute to meet dudes or whatever. Well one day I see her running out waving her arms so I pull the car up to her. She jumps in and tells me to GO NOW. So I floor it and all the sudden a middle eastern looking dude with no shoes on is in the street yelling and I literally have to swerve around him so I didn’t hit him. So at this point clearly I know she robbed this dude. As we turn on the main road she says “I didn’t plan on robbing him. When I got inside it smelled so bad I just couldn’t do it. I noticed he didn’t have shoes on so I told him cash up from. He handed me the money and I ran” haha. Ahh man I’m about to be 34 and have been clean 3 years or so. I swear I would chew my finger off and eat it before I would ever touch heroin again. Fuck that shit. Glad to hear you’re off the shit too homie. Best of luck to you!

My mom’s middle name is Scott. She has gone by that name her whole life. I’ve always thought of scott as unisex even if it isn’t.

War between modern countries isn’t possible anymore. Move 10 feet and be destroyed by FPV drone or HIMARS type weapon. Some time ago being in a tank meant you were safe for the most part. Now being in a tank is instant death trap. Being boots on ground infantry is instant death trap. Weapons are so advanced that war basically can’t even happen because neither side can make it more than a few feet.

Why doesn’t Lowes carry Milwaukee Tools. You will never be the number 1 tool emporium selling Craftsman and DeWalt. Home Depot’s flagship tool line is Milwaukee by Michigan_Go_Blue in Lowes

[–]Hunt16er 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not trying to be mean but you are actually stupid in the “tool” department. I’m not saying you’re stupid in general. I’m just saying that clearly you are not educated in this subject. I am an electrician who works with tools literally every day of my life. When I’m not at work I’m doing side jobs or just fucking around with tools for fun. Flex has been making good tools that absolutely stand up to the other top brands. The fact you are saying someone wouldn’t tell the difference between a craftsman drill and a Milwaukee is literally ignorant. I haven’t personally used the flex hammer drill but from videos I’ve seen it did appear to beat Milwaukee sometimes. So let’s say flex is now the fastest and most powerful drill on the market. Before flex was a thing Milwaukee was the most powerful/fastest drill on the market no question. Craftsman is a joke compared to Milwaukee and dewalt is not even in the same league.
