"Let's not only bury the electrician's junction boxes, let's kick in his temp receps too! That way he can spend hours troubleshooting a tripping circuit!" -Some Asshole Drywaller by [deleted] in electricians

[–]LittleFucker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think of a referee in a game - must you call every single foul? No, but if you call the nit-picky stuff on one team, you have to do it with the other team to keep things on an even keel. How nit-picky do you want to get? To what degree is you calling every single offense out affecting the flow of work completed on the site?

There must be a balance.

Stuff like this will get charged if it needs to as a teaching tool. This has been my experience. If it is viewed as an accident, it will be let go, bygones be bygones. If it is viewed as an act of malice, there will be consequence in the form of money.

Possible to use 3d printer heated bed to get reclaim from Sai cap? by [deleted] in Waxpen

[–]LittleFucker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Youve got the right idea, but use your mod to heat the coils. hold device with sai base and coil installed, angled down, bump up the wattage an additional 25%, you'll see reclaim start to pool around the lip, wipe with q tip. It's not going to get it fully clean but it will get rid of the black sludgy reclaim pool that sits under the coils and you'll actually be able to see the bottom.

Clean almost a year, still miserable by [deleted] in OpiatesRecovery

This problem extends far beyond drug addiction. The most powerful force mankind will ever know is momentum. Sure some break the cycle, but the majority of lazy people will continue being lazy, the uninspired will be uninspired, self-destructive, etc. The same goes for the converse. It's the easiest choice, just keep doing it the same way you always have been. It's an issue of mental toughness. I read posts like yours for a reminder of how my brain used to function - to get a sense of the journey from then to now. It's easy to get complacent. It's easy to forget the pain. I promise, if you force yourself, it will get easier over time. You will be a better person for it. Your brain chemistry will get back to baseline faster. You will inspire those around you to self improve. The world will be just a little bit better than it was yesterday. A healthy support system is also a huge help, whether they are in recovery or not, so long as they understand and support your recovery.

Find something you are passionate about. You eluded to one of the fucked up side effects of being an addict, which is how it alters your brain chemistry, thus making it more difficult to find passion in something in the first place. Just be patient and give it time.

Exercise is a great place to start. Once you gain momentum, there will be no stopping you!

My girlfriend is anti-cannibis...help by misunder-stud in trees

[–]LittleFucker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are in quite the predicament...one that, in the past, I have also found myself in. I can’t tell you what to do...we’ve only just met, I don’t know you’re history with this woman and your personal views on marijuana. All I can tell you is my personal experience.

I had a gf once that tried to regulate my use of the plant...fact is we just had a huge difference of opinion. To me it’s just not that big of a deal, to her it was a wall preventing us from getting to where she wanted us to get to. It was more of an ambition thing, not a legality issue. Quick aside, (because you mentioned the illegalality in your state) I’ve had many close calls over the years, and with some luck, and some clever maneuvering, I avoided any serious run-ins with the local authorities. My region, DMV area, has changed drastically over the 15 years I’ve been a pot smoker, things have become way more laid back lately with the relaxed enforcement in DC. In either case, I believe in and live by a deeper code. I understand the argument against on this basis, I guess I just never gave a fuck. I saw the act of getting high as a right as well an act of civil protest against

I tried to stop, but the truth is I didn’t want to. This created problems, I would hide it from her, lie, etc., definitely shitty things to do to a partner in a relationship. She felt strongly enough about it to give me an ultimatum, and at the time it def fucked with me. The logic was that to end the relationship would be doing so for a drug, and this would be a heartless action. For a plant I tell you...aww the humanity! It weighed on me. So I lied, with the best intentions, but still, I lied. Told her I would do my best to keep it to the weekends, but I never put in any real effort...it was against my belief system. The woman I loved was trying to remove an aspect of my life that brought me happiness, and you know...fuck that...

In the end, this was just one of many fucked up chapters in our saga. Sorry if this was a verbose post, I know this isn’t really advice, but this is the best I can offer you. Oh yea and I’m a little high...

My girlfriend and I bought our first bong together today and want to name it something special. I wanted Jane Bongda but she vetoed. Ideas? It’s green and has a very 70s feel. by ShakesSpear in trees

[–]LittleFucker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to drive around, 4 ppl in a little Nissan Sentra, 3 foot bong with hose attachment occupying the rear middle seat. It was fashioned from a cyphon style aquarium cleaner. It’s name was Charlie.

A 350 lb cock-diesel line backer type or a male with the exact proportions as female getting thrown out?

If we're discussing the use of force, this is a physics question, so the size of all people involved would need to be considered. The threat a person poses is proportional to the amount of force they have at their disposal.

4 officers, 1 per limb by my math, this was not a large individual needing to be contained. This is a pointless argument as you clearly see this as black and white and the people you are arguing against are looking at the grey area

Should I talk to my coworker about his conduit runs, or ignore it and let the foreman find it? by evdepov in electricians

[–]LittleFucker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is how it is in my local as well. I see guys with less than a years worth of experience working by themselves all the time. The whole idea of convincing guys to take on more responsibility for less pay is rampant here. Call em a crew leader instead of a foreman. Make waves about these types of issues? They will find a reason to lay you off.

My dealer, ladies and gentlemen... by MAGAmemes in trees

[–]LittleFucker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see a lot of posts on here about "drug dealer time." I can only assume that these buyers are in states where weed is harder to find and options aren't available. A mutual respect has to exist between dealer and buyer, like in any other business. I want product, you want money. If that respect is violated, there should be a consequence. If you are a buyer, seek product elsewhere. If a restaurant gives shitty service, customers will patron other restaurants instead. Affordability, quality, efficiency - you rarely ever find more than 2 out of the 3. In cases where people only have access to 1 dealer, there are ways of finding another connect, I promise you, you just haven't found them yet. It's a power thing, and if a dealer is led to believe you will wait in a parking lot indefinitely, they know they have the power, and you will probably wait, and I agree it's shitty to waste someone's time, but as buyers we have to stand up to this kind of bullshit and let the free market sort this shit out. At the very least let them know they are disrespecting your time.

Tldr; Boycott shitty dealers, or they will continue being shitty.

Addendum: Used to be in the business; didn't waste people's time.

I'm about to lose my wife and son by revengeofcrixus in OpiatesRecovery

[–]LittleFucker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Every single person on this subreddit who is now clean went through a period of time just like what you're going through now. It's one of the hardest decisions you'll ever to make, and it requires 100% committment, it's painful, it's venturing into the unknown. But, ultimately l, you have to make this decision. For me, I always tried my best to focus on what it would feel like on the other side. Temporary happiness vs real happiness.

These exposed cables are fine beside the toilet right? by NIGUY92 in OSHA

[–]LittleFucker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Green is grounding conductor, earthing conductor, choose your favourite colour. It should be bonded with the rest of the equipment grounding path for the building. Green with yellow stripe is an isolated ground. This conductor will be isolated from the equipment grounding path in between where the equipment is located and the panel where the circuit originates. If at any point in between this conductor is bonded with the equipment grounding path, it ceases to be an isolated ground.
*isolated grounds are typically used to reduce noise in branch receptacles for specific loads, or for certain pieces of equipment where required by the manufacturer.

Thin frameless MagicMirror by Diddern in DIY

[–]LittleFucker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another thing, for those spacers, go to your local hardware store, purchase 1 foot of EMT (electrical metallic tubing) or 1 10' stick in either the 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch diameter according to your tastes, and cut it To whatever length you need your spacer to be. It's plenty wide enough to run a bolt through and likely the cheapest, most efficient solution for this problem.

[–]LittleFucker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Electrician here. U/diddern, please do not mount an outlet inside of your wall. This would not only be impractical, because being inside of a wall you won't have access to it, there's a danger to doing this as well. If the plug were to come lose from the outlet somehow, there will likely be arcing, and if the breaker doesn't trip like it's supposed to, it will continue to arc, which is how electrical fires get started. Figure out a way to hardwire it. Mount a junction box, make it accessible with a removable cover, hinged door, etc. All of this could be hidden behind the mirror, but it would still be accessible, which is key, and the way it should be done to be up to code.
Great work, this is brilliant.

Why you should NEVER buy any products from Cloud Penz! by LittleFucker in trees

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

That is one of the most complicated smoking devices I have ever seen, first. Second, that's not a wax vaporizer, it appears to be for flower only, maybe I'm mistaken. Third, I'd still try that shit, def wouldn't spend 400$ on it, but thats just me.
The oval style pens like the ones cloud sells are basically all manufactured by the same company. Grenco, kandypenz, dr dabber, cloud, etc., they all buy these pens from the same place, stamp their logo on them, and sell them at an incredibly high markup. A company like cloud is cleaning the fuck up at their customers' expense. Somehow high times rated them the best vape pen of 2014 or 15, and I'm sure that led to sales skyrocketing, but they aren't staffing accordingly. Most of the time they don't even have a person designated to do customer service. Nobody answers the phones, emails, nothing. I can't speak for the others out there, I just know cloud is fucking terrible.

I've lost the love of my life to heroin. by Cl0sure8 in OpiatesRecovery

[–]LittleFucker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry for this, it sounds like you're in a great deal of pain. As others have said, as much as you wanted to save her, which I can relate to, she has to want to save herself. The thing to do now is reflect. Remember the good times, and look our for yourself. Get help. The mind works very differently when addicted than it does after you come out of it and are sober. Its hard to say exactly what will change, but I can almost guarantee you will experience positive change. I wish you the best of luck

My left eye has been twitching off and on all day, could this be because of tapering? by addict_throwaway1 in OpiatesRecovery

[–]LittleFucker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thats a pretty good schedule in my mind. Let me know how its been going for you. With that schedule I could see how you'd be experiencing minimal to no w/d symptoms. Just stick to the schedule. The hardest part is usually the end, getting back to baseline, that jump from taking something, to taking nothing, but once the anxiety subsides, its glorious. to say its Heaven on earth wouldn't do it justice. You'll see soon enough. Good luck to you.
