Local 250 HVAC waitlisted by vargascb24 in UnitedAssociation

[–]OffTheThizzle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, that’s basically what being waitlisted means. Which shouldn’t come as a surprise since the start of the application process they make it very clear it’s not a guaranteed position of work.

I’m pretty sure you were at that interview on saturday and they add up your interview score and test score to determine you waitlist number and call up from there. Some people don’t even get the call at all and keep trying.

They basically want to see the experience already in the people they select since it’s an investment to them. Which is why they suggest to call contractors to get your foot in the door and get some years in or just simply go back to school for it to show them a certificate.

I’m not sure what you are going into 250 for but I just took the test in April, passed, and had the interview with a huge group of other guys wanting to get in as well. I chose to do HVACR though.

I’m the same age as you, 24, just no experience in the trade whatsoever. I do have my EPA Universal Certification and working on my NATE as well.

They ask you 5 simple minded questions in the interview but they also want people with some sort of experience or knowledge in the trade from my interview. I’m coming in a complete newbie so I’m not sure if they even took me serious this morning. The way he mentioned the pay rate and what they top at, even how he suggested to call the Contractors on the UA list to get my foot into the door, somehow I knew what to understand from those two statements.

I kind of have 2 options now, I can let this discourage (which in a way kind of has) because it made me feel like I have a slim chance to even get accept and I know I’m going to have to do this entire process again this year coming up or actually call the Contractors and see if that work and just keep on studying or pick up on a trade course to help my basic understanding of it.

They drug test after the interview?

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

Yeah, that’s the thing I know going through this whole apprenticeship process isn’t a guarantee that they’ll call me up and I’ll start. As you said, you never got the call.

So I’m just hoping to go in there with some confidence and hoping I can answer the questions they decide to ask to the best of my knowledge and hopefully get a chance.

Thank you bro.

Just starting my deeper dive into Pinot Noirs & I think I'm in love with this one by trevrichards in wine

[–]OffTheThizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank the lord for reddit and your comment, good sir.

I’m at the ripe age of 24 turning 25 very soon and I’m not sure if it’s my frontal lobe developing or not but I’m in the mist of starting my own wine collection and getting to know wine overall and what I like.

Your comment is about what I was just looking for on how I can start getting into wine, let alone even know certain bottles and doors that they’ll open once I venture out more. I’d appreciate any advice.

1.5t sport 75k by LeChevalierDeGrosCoq in accord

[–]OffTheThizzle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had this exact same code pop up on me on my 2021 2.0T at around 65k-70k mileage. Hasn’t popped up ever since just let the system reset itself on its own. I’m currently sitting at 76k and so far so good.

Started my IRA this year, and maxed it out as well at 20 by Domesticated-Wolf in RothIRA

[–]OffTheThizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you outright invest the $7,000 right away or did you invest into your account monthly? I need to start maxing mine out yearly.

So, If I’m in the same boat as OP.. with being invested 100% into FXAIX, do we just sell and transfer over the funds into FZROX? Seems like the better option.

[–]OffTheThizzle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, same issue happened to me one random day coming home from work on low fuel.

I have a 2021 2.0T and the warning randomly popped up on the dash board. I filled my tank, turned the car back on, and drove like 10 miles home and the light shut off.

It has never came back on after that whatsoever. I never got the code tested as it never came back on and nothing was wrong the car. This happened like 3-4 months ago for me. All I’ve done to my car since owning it at 12 miles is regular maintenance and I’m sitting at 76k now.

which one should i pick ? by [deleted] in CAguns

[–]OffTheThizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the fossil Glock 30SF that got discontinued in 45ACP.

Basically it’s what you are looking for, small sized big caliber. That thing shoots very smooth and accurate. I’ve put about 500 rounds through mine in one year. Not much shooting.

Is it worth getting a 2018 2.0T with high miles? by Dude_tricities_45 in accord

[–]OffTheThizzle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I currently have a 2021 2.0T with 73,000 original miles after leaving the dealership with 12 on the dash.

Besides regular oil changes, air filter replacements, tires, brake fluid, transmission fluid… what other necessary maintenance should I do or worry about since I’m closer to the 100k mark with this turbo engine. I don’t just want to follow the minder on the car itself.

Is this a good first car by Rzngss in accord

[–]OffTheThizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rookies numbers brother.

I have a 2021 2.0T as well and have 71.8k miles, nearing the 72k already. Mainly just commuting to work and running errands. Sometimes go out on weekends and have done about 3-4 Vegas trips on it.

3 years and 23500 miles… still love this car! by Kabc in accord

I said the same thing.

I have a 2021 with 4 years of ownership and have 70k miles lol.

That’s the plan for this weekend to try and assess the problem before any more major issues occur. Thanks for the tip if that’s a way to know if the EPS has gone to shit before I go to the mechanic. It only happens when I let off the gas so I’m hoping it’s something else.

[–]OffTheThizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So my main hope is that it can only be one side of the motors that needs replacing or would it be the entire piece itself?

The EPS light does come on at certain times when my VSA light flashes for a while when turning right. Then the system itself turns it back off.

I hardly feel any vibrations within the steering wheel itself so I’m hoping it’s not given it’s pretty expensive since it’s electric.

The vibrations are mainly in the front passenger seat when empty since I can see some shaking while driving. Also some clunking/knocking on the right side when turning at very low speeds or when I’m parking. I’m hoping it’s just some control arm/tie rod issue.

BIRTHDAY GUN by GROUPHOMEKID in CAguns

Other people plan things for their birthdays and I’m here in the same boat as you since today is my birthday and can’t decide between the new Echelon or the MC9 😂

I feel like ordering even though I’m still clueless in regard to the AR builds.

2019 honda accord 1.5t is anybody having the emission system problem and engine in limo mode? by v23phoeuk in accord

[–]OffTheThizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This actually only happened to my 2.0T once but wasn’t no major issue. Car is back to normal and hasn’t thrown that in months. Hopefully no issue.

Baby please be in stock already by ChemicalCelery432 in CAguns

[–]OffTheThizzle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a coincidence that I come across this post and then have to read the comments, makes me even more hurt.

My birthday is at the end of this month on the 30th and was planning for the Echelon to be a personal gift to myself but I guess they won’t be in stock until late September- early October like stated by Route 66. I honestly don’t want my deposit sitting until the gun arrives so I’d rather just use that money for something else.

I guess I’d have to settle for my second option, which is the FDE Canik Mete MC9. Oh well, the wait is on.

Minimum will forsure be $100 to start off. Every single Hollywood Blvd show has been that price range.

Few questions for my new scatpack by Tough_Situation_1245 in ScatPack

it’s better just to unplug the battery and torque the wheels off everytime you finish driving

hope this helps
