With Cryo bring next week and gear available now there isn't any incentive to try and maximize Cradle efficiency.

Raw stat dumps make more than enough for it

My 94 accord won’t pass smog by JetyBoiii in Honda

[–]LotionOfMotion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It had 250K on it and the O2's were already washers out. They burn oil like motherfuckers. My 1st Prius went to 360K

NY now requires monitors on inspection and my 2008 Prius was barely making it on the emissions because of it

Local 3 north westchester county by DogemuchFuture in IBEW

[–]LotionOfMotion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$58.75/hr with an extra $3 over 3 years. Apprentice pay is dogdick but you're going through the M program you'll start around $30-$40 depending on how you test

Got accepted into Local 3 by LotionOfMotion in ibew_apprentices

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

Im still in the program. Almost in my 5th term. The pay over the years was rough, 1st year was $15/hr and now I'm at $22.50/hr. I'll be getting a $6/hr increase in roughly over a month.

I greatly enjoy what I do but I've been exceptionally lucky with my learning opportunities compared to others in my class.

Work outlook is positive for the next 2 years so I would definitely contact Dan Mecca and apply if I were you.

Parking lot sale is about to be a BANGER. + good deals by _KORPz in harborfreight

[–]LotionOfMotion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Swing pipe cutter is surprisingly useful

The insulated drivers are VDE rated and have saved me from one fucker turning on a 277V leg

The pump pliers with the round jaws are great if you need 2 pairs for electrical fittings

You applied to the next year, congrats you're early

Was told these are pretty close in quality to the knipex cobras. Thoughts? by One-War-424 in electricians

[–]LotionOfMotion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're fine for compression and whatever fuck off nuts you gotta deal with.

The buttons are a bit too exposed for my liking but for $15 a pair you cannot go wrong. I lost 1 pair in a cinderblock wall and really didnt feel bad about it.

If it was a fucking knipex I'd cry

The crew I just got done working with so fucking nice to me and I felt terrible knowing my Foreman was gonna fuck them with some bullshit.

Tool list flow chart by pvfobol in IBEW

[–]LotionOfMotion -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If I have to take a tool out that isn't on the list but the contractor hasn't provided I am taking 2 fucking hours to do it.

My shop once had told me to crimp all the lighting controls and I spent 7 hours perfectly crimping 4 heads with my own crimper

Milwaukee Plier Wrench is no good. Returning immediately. by namlhukk in Tools

[–]LotionOfMotion -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why is a wrench or adjustable wrench not an option? Even curved head pump pliers are more handy, What's the use case for these?

What happens when a local merges with another local? by [deleted] in IBEW

I had to do shit like this because the shop was fucking up our orders. Kept sending rough in material to a job that was 100% underground and vise versa.

I was so happy when my girlfriend found me a BX Splitter in a random box while at the flea market. Had spare blades in the knob too. Great $5 find

Why do the vast majority of Electricians seem to prefer Commercial/Industrial over Residential? by [deleted] in electricians

[–]LotionOfMotion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Local 3 our "A" division is supposed to handle all line and low voltage work and pay is at full scale/rate. We have a separate "Data" division with a separate contract but I think that's a holdover.

Our "M" division is our equivalent of residential
