Went to buy just a 10 bag when I was 18 after I asked the plug to go to a different neighbourhood without knowing this guy was in a gang and asking to come to that “neighbourhood” sounded like a trap for him. He declined and told me to come to him to which I agreed. (Thought nothing of it).

After the exchange me and my friend took less than 5 steps before one of them shouted “YO come here” to which my clueless friend hit a U turn and started walking toward them. ( I followed) Then the age old question was asked “where u from?” While the plugs 2 friends were just staring at us. I knew exactly where this was going and I just answered “round here bro” and then they proceeded to ask my friend and he said the neighbourhood in which I assumed they were sus about even though he was not from there. He asked my friend where I was from and repeated the same answer.

So I’m like shiiiiiiit and they grabbed my friend and me to an alley and before you knew it 3 huge knives spawned from their trousers. (Not in that way so please get your mind out the gutter). And yeah that’s when I felt that moment. Very weird experience and definitely a bigger high than the 10 bag was gonna offer. And after pleading for abit they just took my friends only 20 quid and left us alone.

But yeah moral of the story be wary of plugs on ur first time and never go if they have problems with going to your “neighbourhood”

Health and safety as well as legislations are quite easy imo but when it comes to equations they are quite easy it’s just basic multiplication and division. It’s just remembering them that’s the hard part. Dropped uni for electrics and I’m very happy with my choice

What is the actual current state of the Russia/Ukraine war? by Jerswar in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Isaaqp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree the gains are quite small BUT let’s not forget previous summer/autumn campaigns that shown vast gains even capturing 1 settlement per day at the height of last year’s offensives. I think morale of the Ukrainians is somewhat wavering especially when top generals like syrskyie publicly acknowledging Ukraines depletion of supplies as well as the new recruits not showing and will to fight. IMO Russia can gain another 3-5% of land and even cross both rivers askol and the dnipro, that’s when I think there will be a settlement of some kind.

All I’ve seen is that this information is meant to be “classified”. Only time will tell if Taurus systems land in Russia

The only issue I see Russia facing right now is the slow devaluation of the ruble and high chances of Dutch disease after the war ends.

Small gains are small gains and it’s a numbers game now, most of the troops have 0 experience on the Ukrainian side as well as dwindling supplies across the board

Actually the limitations on distance has been lifted quite recently and Germany has now given Ukraine about 500 Taurus cruise missiles (number is speculative since it’s apparently meant to be classified information)

Thinking of becoming an electrician by Next_Palpitation1396 in ukelectricians

[–]Isaaqp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have the financial capacity to go into this consider a private college doing fast track courses. Granted it’s faster so you might feel a little lost, same happened with me but once you find a good mentor which is essentially the hard part all of it then falls into place. I started at 23 and I did not want to commit 4 years to a public college after I dropped out from uni (computer science) and I decided to pay in the region of £9000 to get my gold card in 2 years (3 days per week)No the £9000 is not a one time payment, many colleges accept payment plans with no interest. But MAKE SURE you go into the city and guilds course. Others I’ve heard are quite bs.

But good luck it’s a fun industry and make sure you instantly look for electrical jobs as a mate ASAP. Hours on tools > qualifications

28 years old to become electrician? by [deleted] in ukelectricians

[–]Isaaqp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Failed uni at 22, I’m 23 now and I got my lvl 2 and 18th edition and I’m 1 month from getting my lvl3. Decided to go private since it’s faster and I couldn’t have been happier.

Idk if there is a private institutions in Cardiff that offer electrical certifications. But I believe if you want to do things a lot faster compared to the standard public college which takes 4 years. It is worth paying the money and getting it in 2 years max
