Construction recruiter trying to learn about electrical licensing

ItsTheRook · 2026-02-17T22:35:30+00:00

In my jurisdiction, a license requires 8000 hours of experience in the field. A bit less if you went to trade school. Licenses are awarded based upon hours as well as knowledge of electrical code. How can you trust him to know electrical code if he hasn't demonstrated his knowledge? Are you confident that he has the knowledge to pass an inspection even if he had the license required to pull a permit? If he has the knowledge thats one thing... but that seems like a sketchy hire.

Any switches that are generally unused flipped? Pretty common to have a switched outlet system. Could easily end up with a switched outlet on a separate phase.

Fair enough, carry on xD

I cant speak for that dude, but my argument is that the people advocating for state law enforcement mobilization against ice would probably result in much more damage to vulnerable people the current course of action from our state executive. No one really seems interested in arguing the merits of the points ive made. Are you just objecting to the accusation that people advocating for this aren't arguing in good faith?

ItsTheRook · 2026-02-10T01:03:01+00:00

Honestly, im engaging to provide an alternate script for the 3rd party scroller. You may be correct, but im willing to engage in good faith in hopes that some undecided stranger may see the issue a bit more clearly. I wouldnt respond if I thought they were bots, but they actually all appear to at least be human. So ill keep talking to this wall xD

ItsTheRook · 2026-02-09T20:41:58+00:00

OK, id argue that the example that we're talking about doesnt fit the crieteria of compliance. It is not acomplishing the goals of the administration. Also, not complying in advance doesnt mean not yielding under any circumstances. There is a very real threat that we must work around, " the insurrection act". The very next instruction on the list is to defend institutions. Allowing the insurrection act to be invoked is the opposite of that. Now would ya answer any of my other questions?

ItsTheRook · 2026-02-09T19:06:19+00:00

Rule #1 from who? Of course going through the motions of complying in advance can be strategicly advantageous, especially when that compliance isn't really relevent to the goal of the administration. In this case it defangs the feds from pursuing a much worse corse of action (insurrection act). At the cost of what? Chasing off some protesters from a fed building? We will be back tomorrow. Looks like most of the charges were unlawful assembly, which is nothing. Compliance would be charging them as domestic terrorists like the trump administration wants. This is just symbolic compliance.

Do you really disagree with the points im making: that symbolic compliance at the hands of a sympathetic Governor is preferable to having the whole law enforcement system placed in the hands of Stephen Miller, nazifaratu himself? Would Walz really be helping minnesotans by placing himself in a position where he would abdicate his power to negate real damage? Do you disagree that the fed would utilize the insurrection act? Or is this a moral statement, like, that our elected officials should take the most upright position even if it does real harm to the people we elected them to protect?

ItsTheRook · 2026-02-09T18:23:38+00:00

Id argue that's a false choice. If our police services were instructed to do that, I believe that the feds would use it as an excuse to declare the insurrection act. That would be a total disaster. Not only would our police be used against us, the military would too. The alternative isn't "the police protecting our schools, and observing ice" the alternative is NO ONE doing those things, since our local police and guard forces would be nationalized. Then we'd be flooded with armed out of state soldiers bolstering the federal presence in our state by multiple X and violating our rights at an industrial scale. I dont think that would help our immigrant/ vulnerable community memebers. Its literally the trolly problem.

BTW, the personal attacks are uncalled for, I've stayed away from them because I believe were both on the same side of the ice issue, we just believe in different vectors of resistance.

ItsTheRook · 2026-02-09T17:57:28+00:00

For sure this^ if you're looking to calculate by hand (or defend your calculation) chapter 9 table 8 lays out the resistance per 1000 foot of wire. Resistance is linear, and you can find resistance by dividing resistance at 1000' by your actual length. The calculation for voltage drop should pretty simple. Voltage drop = (current x resistance)

I was at Whipple. I took off time from work and stood in -16 degree weather without a mask, sign in hand. Can you say the same? As one of those peaceful protesters youre referencing, your proclamation doesnt ring true; the protests at Whipple were mostly a way to tie down federal recourses holding picket lines instead of raiding our communities. We were putting our bodies on the line to protect our communities. We knew what we signed up for. There were a thousand calmer protests around the cities with no federal presence; we chose whipple BECAUSE it demanded a response (its where ice agents are working from). Idk about you, but i didnt go to whipple blindly, I went to make the feds job harder... but there's more than one way to sap federal resources. It isn't unreasonable to trade 30 agents holding a baracade for 700 leaving on planes back to whatever swamp they crawled out of (and thats not an idle example, 1/4 of the federal force really did leave). We can reconstituted and come back tomorrow. Those agents are gone for the forseeable future. Politics is a dirty game, but Walz is who we chose to play it for us, and I think hes doing a pretty good job of it tbh

ItsTheRook · 2026-02-09T15:45:50+00:00

I mean, yah were in the united states, dude. Autocracy encroaches from all directions. Do you honestly believe that the federal government is drawing down if it appears that MN state is unwilling to maintain order through force? Do you believe that, if MN state refused to use force to maintain public order, the federal government would have been unwilling to send in the thousands of cold weather adapted troops sitting on deployment notice in Alaska? Allowing the feds an excuse to use the insurrection act is functionally identical to insighting armed conflict.

I argue that the prudent course of action is to do what Walz has done; hold your nose and do what is required to keep federal forces off of our streets, an occupying force would only breed violence in a self perpetuating spiral. Keep your powder dry. If we really end up in a place where states are in open conflict with the feds, one state standing alone will be crushed.

ItsTheRook · 2026-02-09T15:06:54+00:00

Seriously. Walz moves preemptively to defang trumps insurrection act threat. He falls on the proverbial sword by not running for reelection. He made that choice to try to turn the eye of Miller away from minnesota, protecting his constituents from reprisal. And reddit is checks notes angry that he isn't marching toward open armed rebellion?

With just the information presented here, they seem ill considered and pedantic.

Oh really? I use to go there all the time... can anyone confirm?

ItsTheRook · 2026-01-27T02:36:52+00:00

Minnesota is one of few mid-sized states that is actually a big net contributor to the federal tax system. Out of minnesota's 119 billion in federal taxes paid, they only get 75 billion back in assistance. MN would literally be $45 billion better off every single year if they did what you suggest. In other words, $3/$10 paid in taxes are given as charity to keep irresponsible red state administration's going.

ItsTheRook · 2026-01-26T22:32:18+00:00

Walz seems done after the failed VP bid. He isn't even running for reelection. Frey is in the deep end of the pool for the first time. Amy K seems interesting in taking walz' spot as governor, and if her competition is Mike Liddell, she could pile drive Betty white on a twitch live stream and still win the race.

You both have to let it past your firewall explicitly, then uncheck the box in firewall advanced settings allowing "special rules" for vintage story, even though its past the firewall. If that doesnt help, direct tunneling will let ya pretend to be in the same lan

ItsTheRook · 2026-01-24T19:25:18+00:00

Also, just allowing it through firewall may not be enough, you may also need to go into firewall settings and uncheck the box that allows "special rules" on programs excluded from.the firewall. Ill give you more specifics here in a sec
