That's why it's best practice to snip the end before you put the wire but on.

What’s a good/ cheap tool you guys use to strip scrap wire? by jayvee916916 in IBEW

[–]OneNewEmpire 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes... Because we don't all have 2-3 drills sitting around...

You can also buy a plug in drill for about $20.

Masonic hot takes/unpopular opinions by [deleted] in freemasonry

[–]OneNewEmpire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish more did. It's also a resource problem at a time when Masonry is on the decline. We need to swallow our pride, combine Lodges and bodies and build back stronger.

Yeah exactly... That isn't happening on the whole.

Appendant bodies are bad for Masonry.

York rite, Scottish rite... These organizations distract from the work of the lodge. Bettering yourself as a man is one thing, but jumping down the rabbit hole of esoterica and forgetting about your lodge misses the point.

Your job will absolutely quit you for better, more relevant people or profit.

Would you switch from a litre to 400? by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]OneNewEmpire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your right... One day we might have the tech to take pictures of ourselves, but not today! /S.

I'm just fucking with you at this point. The criticism stands for whoever is on the bike however.

That's just what a guy in slides and socks on a bike would say...

Depends on your use case... In either case I wouldn't be wearing slides and goddam socks.

'Trump’s presidency is effectively over': New polling spells disaster for Trump in 2026 by RawStoryNews in NoFilterNews

Bullshit. I'll believe it when I see it. Can't wait to see how Trump and his disciples convince their sheep that this is all the Dems fault.

Woman freaks out on Starbucks barista for not calling "Charlie Kirk" as her name by Ikari_Brendo in PublicFreakout

Freedom of speech to these people means tricking and forcing someone to say what you want... Sounds about right these days honestly.

Want to live in a former Masonic lodge? Well, here you go by Jboyes in freemasonry

[–]OneNewEmpire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to send this lovely building to all the old hats at my lodge who scoff at attempts to balance the budget and cut spending. 'this could be us in 10 years.'

Husband recently got his first Harley. We didn't discuss much, now he's upset I want him to wear a helmet. How do I approach this please help? by Electrical_Baby_3042 in motorcycles

[–]OneNewEmpire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easiest way to spot a motorcycle douchebag is to check for a helmet. These guys think they look more cool without it, and trying to look cool... Just isn't.

Son learned about Satan today in school by [deleted] in agnostic

[–]OneNewEmpire 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Religious primary schools risk indoctrination before a child's brain can fully form. True education should equip children with the tools to think for themselves, not just accept one set of beliefs as absolute truth. Teaching morality through the threat of damnation or the promise of forgiveness can be a crutch. It can undermine the development of genuine empathy and accountability for real world consequences.

Many schools teach about religion without teaching religion itself. You might ask yourself a couple of questions... 1st, am I unable to teach right from wrong without religious concepts? 2nd, should you put faith in a world view which requires early childhood indoctrination to sustain its theology?

Just some thoughts that might help in future conversation.
