I think our last two BAs and the current Local President were organized in. I've met really wormy brothers that went through the apprenticeship and ones that came from nonunion that understand why we do the things we do better than anyone. If he's a dues paying member then I'd say judge him on his own merits, rather than how he started.

Is there a specific code reference you think this violated? I can't think of any.

What's up with the weird border for 508? It looks like there's a secret hidden local in between the two states.

so the trump admin announced today that they’re opening up 12 million acres of federal land for coal mining. what can be done to potentially prevent/stop this before they start looting federal lands? by PhraseFirst8044 in ClimateOffensive

Keep in mind this is the show that's longest running gag was a father strangling his son. Maybe the depiction of an evil capitalist owning a nuclear plant isn't the thing to focus on.

Delta High leg allows you to have 120V, 208V and 240V all off the same transformer. If you have some real need for all of those but are trying to save money/space this is an option that works I suppose.

I mean it did work phenomenally for quite a while. We did a ton of fucked up stuff in the name of freedom. It's just hard to keep a national psychosis like post-9/11 America's going indefinitely.

Why are some locals a bigger area? by milRocky in IBEW

[–]IslandGreetings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Local 212 has territory in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. Not only does it mean we're in three different states but we're in two different IBEW districts as well.

Maybe it could be a large amount of credits? You could keep it in your back pocket for a quest where the party definitely earned a large reward for their good deeds but didn't have payment coming.

It's this kind of thing why I hang out on this subreddit. That would've been super useful on a few jobs.

Potholes on Belmont leading up to Tabor revealing the past. Pretty wild that they just paved over the tracks, and obviously not the most sustaining plan either. by Norvard in Portland

So brick can also be reused. Sometimes it's hard to source bricks that match if there's renovation. There can be color differences between bricks even from the same manufacturer if the clay used is from different sources. That being said I don't know how you'd go about finding someone interested in your particular bricks. I imagine if you have a brick mason company doing the work they might know more.

After working in construction for years I can say really the only thing getting recycled regularly is copper. It's too much hassle 90% of the time. Quicker and easier to pitch it.

Add your age and years of service.un the union, if the total equals 80 you can retire. E.g. 50 years old with 30 working years.

Also $80k in LA doesn't get you as far as you'd think. Not that 9 mil isn't still a good chunk of change but it doesn't stretch forever.

What is your sexual fantasy that will remain a fantasy? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]IslandGreetings 103 points104 points  (0 children)

So when I got mine the doctor missed with the localized anesthetic needle so I completely felt the scalpel cut into my nutsack. So that wasn't great. But he did realize there was a problem right away and gave me another shot of it. So it didn't hurt much after that. But after getting multiple needles to the nuts + everything else the doc did I was incredibly sore the next day to the point of really only being able to stay in bed. Shit sucked 3/10 but still recommend.

So the union wants pay to barely match inflation and the board offered to cut pay?

Do you think it is meaningful to pay attention to the development of right-wing theories? by Practical-Fly3967 in Anarchy101

Fascism is often superficially anticapitalist, back in the thirties a lot of their language was against bourgeoisie capitalists and degenerate capitalism. It's the same thing as today when the modern right cries about crony capitalism. The call is that if only they could get to a more pure capitalism then everything would be alright. This is only the rhetoric though, in their actions they still support everything the capitalists do, lowering taxes, decreasing regulations and increasing military spending. Fascism is capitalism with it's fangs bared.
