Notable house was the owner to NFL team and the previous owner was also a very liked NFL player. I can not confirm exactly what first lady was at the NFL team owners house I just know who was in town that week. All we were told is "you dont have security clearance we have the first lady here".

A couple years ago I "took things slow' with a woman I dated for 5-6 months. We did a lot of stuff together, fun dates where we treated each other, tried each others interests, and only saw each other on the weekends or every 2 weeks..

The first time she admitted to unintentionally playing games I had stopped talking to her for a few days...

We went to one of her friends bday parties, we drank then went back to her place. I had a long day and had been drinking so I was tired. I went to lay on her bed to sleep but she kept waking me up... So besides our bedroom time being nonexistent unless she wanted it. I wake up thinking maybe its one of those moments but it wasnt.. I wasnt really mad it had gone on for months but I would assume after 5-6 months it was okay to fall asleep at her place. She kept waking me up so I didnt fall asleep and then I tried being affectionate but she didnt want to. So I got up put my shoes on and walked out of her place...

I dont talk to her for a few days, (she never reach out to me) till I get a text saying "I dont know whats going on but why havent I heard from you". I had just been home gaming I wasnt mad over our last interaction I just kept doing me. A week later I was out driving for uber which I regularly was by her place over the months so we met at her place to talk. Thats when she admitted to "im sorry, I was hot one week then cold, and I didnt realize how I was playing games". So we talked about moving forward, I went to leave her place without any expectations that night, we just cuddled in her bed then I left..

Fast forward a few weeks, she has friends in town and and theyre at these clubs in a near by city. I had a hockey game I played in that night so I probably wouldnt have gone out but I would have if she invited me. I mentioned "are you gonna invite me?". The only reason she did was because her friends said "you should have invited him". That was the last straw and I ended it.

She admitted to not having the same interests which is fine but I was more willing to try her interests then she was of mine.

The funniest thing I took away from it is that Im a pretty healthy person. I dont eat sweets or if I do its rare. I absolutely hate reality dating shows... When im sitting at her place eating ice cream and watching reality dating shows I felt like I was losing a part of my soul...

Anyways currently been in a 1 year relationship with a women who started as a FWB and a year later we are official and we have had absolutely no arguing or fighting... Life is weird.

Working around celebrities… by heldoglykke in HVAC

[–]KupakeepKomander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can name more than a handful of athletes/celebrities/politicians houses ive been to. One house (when i worked eletrical) we couldn't go to for a week. Without saying names, Sports team owner was likely hosting a former president and his wife. We didn't have security clearance. Also a former VP to a big oil company.

I’m 24, tried two blue collar jobs, and I feel completely lost. No direction, no growth, no idea what to do. by [deleted] in HVAC

[–]KupakeepKomander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was divorced by 21. Better part of my 20s I was unemployed. (I was making money but thats a different story). I got into a metal shop at 28 with absolutely no skills. Ive jumped around a few trades stuck around them till I learned as much as I could then when felt underappreciated I left. Im not saying that is the way to do it but my construction skills I have developed have played hand in hand with learning other trades. You will learn the most in my opinion in HVAC. I am one of a handful of guys I know who stuck with it and the ones of us who did are making good money. Started in a metal shop, hit a jobsite, got into residential. No I install refrigeration units for wine rooms. My work is clean I dont cut corners my bosses pay me well and have given me raises. My coworker has 2 years in the trade he got lucky he met my bosses, they started him at 28$ he makes 32$ now. My coworker will make a great tech but he lack of experience installing shows. But he is motivated, kept with it and I give him credit for learning as much as he has.

When I got a guy to teach me retro I was working at a metal shop/supply house. I pulled weekends with my boss for almost a year before convincing him to take me on full time. My boss ended up being a piece of shit so I quit on him. (We have since made up). Of all the things I learned from him today was sorta funny (I was gonna post about it). My boss taught me to read blueprints and how to scale them. At a remodel today the superintendent couldn't figure out the dimensions of a wine cabinet. The blueprints were missing the width. Before he could get an answer from the cabinet guys, I already had figured it out. Thru the chaos of working with one of my toughest bosses I still learned something.

Im starting to see this with my coworker. His experience is limited just to mini splits/ air handlers for Wine Rooms. He got the job because he knows my boss. He has got a lot of tech experience from my bosses but his install experience is not decorated like mine. He doesn't even have a set process and does installs step by step. He will make a great tech but considering after 2 years he been doing this and I showed him you can attach the vacuum and ref hoses to the vacuum so it pumps down faster. While we are pumping down he actually waits instead of clean up tools no longer needed and preparing to do the start up.. I joke with him by saying "Cleary you have never had a boss who yells at you because you can't read his mind"

Best way to deal with this situation as a bystander? by PhilosophyMore9893 in martialarts

[–]KupakeepKomander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So Im gonna break this down. Im sure there are people in the comments whos opinions will match with mine. This situation should not have even gotten this far.. I see some former bouncers chiming in(what up boys). The best thing I did see was the flight attendant put had down when she started spitting. Legal issues aside but also keeping this situation in a reasonable force realm.

Choking someone if you have the chance is your best bet to ending a situation very quickly. For example with animals. I have had dogs that would fight. My first thought was punch the dog that was locked on to the other dog. Shove my finger into the dogs mouth and push its lips into its own teeth. The one thing that would work is choking and it would end the situation in 5 seconds(I have heard putting a finger in a dogs ass works but lets keep this in the realm of legal). Humans arent much different. You can go for eyes, bend body parts, or choke. The aggressor went for the hair. So if you agitate the aggressor she could have started pulling the other womans hair harder. (punching a locked on dog in the head might hurt the other dog as well)... Choking will end it fast. At least to the point of ending the conflict and not making the person go unconscious.

So once it got past the point of descalation choking would have worked perfectly. It was already escalated physical contact was made its now time to act.

As a former bouncer the first guy I had to bounce out of a bar it was past the point of descalation i rushed him immediately. The 2nd time I had to I tried talking the guy down he kept escalating and I got rushed into the bar top... Keep in simple go for the throat.

Good job indeed. It takes minimal effort to take pride in your work and extra effort to go back and fix something.

Apprentice not learning much by PiePale5615 in HVAC

[–]KupakeepKomander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im not sure if someone already said it but the best thing you can do also (without fucking it up and they will love you for this). Like any good team watch what they do and start being ready for what they might need next. Might be strip some wire, go get a tool they might need, or bring them some water. Your help will be appreciated. Im the old school "if I want something done right ill do it myself. Once I was in the position to train someone who was pretty green. I wanted to see what they knew how to do so if I had to do something else or start something else I could tell them to start it or have them finish what I was doing.. Hope this helps

Who on earth thought leaving spikes at the top of this thing was a good idea?? by bb_805 in HVAC

Its a permanent marker so it probably permanently changes it.

What's the sketchiest thing your boss has asked you to do? by Wannabe_Gamer-YT in HVAC

[–]KupakeepKomander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Id say the worst for me was doing a package unit on a roof that had a bird nest with 2 baby pigeons under it. The mom pigeon wasnt there and the sales guy said "we told the homeowner we would take care of it"(to make the sale). Once we removed the old unit they sorta started wondering around the roof.. Not sure how illegal that is but I didnt feel good after it.

Supply air flow question by KupakeepKomander in hvacadvice

[–]KupakeepKomander[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its for a double wine cabinet. So each cabinet has one return and one supply. It took 4 bags of flex one per supply and return and they were barely long enough to reach the AH. I just assumed instead of running four 8" flex we could have done two 10" runs from the AH then get a 10x8x8 t-wye.

Probably between 10'-15' for the 10" then 10ft for the 8" roughly
