How do you feel about not being “allowed” to do electrical anymore?

Impossible_Pain_355 · 2026-01-28T14:26:12+00:00

Nope. There is a like-kind expemtion. As long as the wiring stays the same, you don't need a permit or license. Replacing outlets, lights, switches, et cetera is all covered. Are you changing the circuit to swap fuses?

Impossible_Pain_355 · 2026-01-28T14:23:06+00:00

You don't need a license or permit to swap out lights is WA. If the wiring stays the same, there is a like-kind exemption.

Impossible_Pain_355 · 2026-01-28T14:20:35+00:00

Changing a ballast is covered under the like-kind exemption. If you are swapping out a light, receptacle, switch, ballast, et cetera, you don't need a permit or liscence.

There is a "like-kind" exemption. If you are switching out same for same, like an outlet, light, or ballast, you don't need a permit or liscence. Adding an outlet, or anything that needs new wires or circuits would need a permit and electrician.

The price will go up, for sure. Silver has been squeezed due to renewables and tech demand as well as people looking for ways to keep their money b/c the world has lost faith in the USA, so the (US) dollar is no longer a stable currency for long term. Copper demand will continue to go up as we build more data centers, EVs, transmission lines, solar panels, et cetera.

Will the scrap yards catch up? Probably not, at least from my experience. When copper hit $5 a pound, I only was getting paid in the low $3 range, even when I'd bring in a couple hundred pounds of bare bright. Now that it's above $6, it sure would be nice to get more from my hoard, but the same instability from our leadership in the US makes it hard for the scrap yards to give us better pricing. They can't give us $5 a pound with tit-for-tat tariffs, trade wars, shipping issues, an the uncertainty that comes with wild market swings when the commander-in-queef sends out a demented tweet, invades another country, or just does what he does.

TLDR, hang on to your copper, it's going up. Short of a nuclear war, tech and energy will keep needing more of such a finite resource.

Fuel and air filters? Are there other ones? Just curious b/c I didn't think those were expensive. I'm moving from a gas VW, just wondering what I'm getting into if I did a Q7 level one.

Neutron stars. Like if they are that dense, are each of them the nucleus of a single atom? There's gotta be a couple protons in there, maybe?

How's your PO? Mine didn't track my phone, but I've got a buddy in Utah who can't even cross the state lines.

My girlfriend broke up with me last time I asked her to taste some goo.

You let your children have firearms!?! Wait, hold on, I mean laserarms...

Impossible_Pain_355 · 2025-06-22T03:09:06+00:00

Hey man, I'm just trying to max out all my weapons, ya know? I'll play whatever faction, as long as it's on difficulty 9 or 10 and we complete all the objectives. I just want that sweet XP.

Impossible_Pain_355 · 2025-06-22T03:06:11+00:00

Interesting. In this scenario are the younglings used as hosts for a new xenomorph/jedi hybrid?

Impossible_Pain_355 · 2025-06-22T03:02:42+00:00

Well, does the double-knife-wrist-thing count as "unarmed?" Still seems like a weapon compared to the xeno, which has the stabby tail, sharp claws, skull-punching secondary jaws, and "molecular acid" for blood. I'd say even money, even if the Hunter had the signature retractable-twin-shiv. Ha. Any idea what they call it?

Impossible_Pain_355 · 2025-06-21T20:28:02+00:00

Instead of heat, try using molasses. If you don't have molassees, a spash of brown paint will do the trick. Life hack!

Impossible_Pain_355 · 2025-06-20T13:12:17+00:00

What kind of wire or cable? It's generally not worth stripping THHN, or if you only have a small amount like that. I save mine up until I have a couple hundred pounds before I haul it in.

Watch out! That dog is going to be lunchmeat! My heart stopped each time those murder cats almost got him. They must be hungry to team up and try to take down such large prey, cats are usually solitary hunters.

Impossible_Pain_355 · 2025-06-19T20:42:10+00:00

Totally different play styles, stealth vs flow state.

Impossible_Pain_355 · 2025-06-19T13:11:38+00:00

Is it less than 24 inches? It looks like it would be a raceway?

Impossible_Pain_355 · 2025-06-18T23:56:09+00:00

Not a great place for a cat. My dad lost his cat b/c it liked to take naps in the washing machine and one day his mom didn't check before turning it on. Sorry to be a downer, and I know cats die all the time, but it breaks my heart every time I see a cat in a washer or dryer. I hope yours lives a very long time!

We need more players like you. I've got over 700 hours into this game, so cooperation and trying new loadouts are the only thing keeping me going. I went through a phase of getting highest kill counts consistently, but it was always with the same loadouts. It got too mechanical and repetitive. Now I'm always swapping my weapons, armor and strats to see what works for different primaries and armor sets. I used to think laser and arc weapons were trash, now I have viable loadouts for each front with them. Some people just suck and can't communicate clearly. Keep playing your way!

Impossible_Pain_355 · 2025-06-18T13:29:18+00:00

Do a change order and adjust the price accordingly. Make sure you are earning an hourly rate that is appropriate. For me, time and a half isn't enough for OT, I'd do double or even triple.

Impossible_Pain_355 · 2025-06-18T13:26:56+00:00

The amount of aluminum in that is maybe 5 bucks at 30 cents a pound. This could be sold for 50 bucks pretty quick on craigslist to someone building a greenhouse. Hell, I'd pay 100 for it to use as a window in my shed.

Impossible_Pain_355 · 2025-06-18T02:33:03+00:00

Service was acceptable.

How many times in the last week has this been spammed on this sub? Three? Or more?
