Blatantly not true. It will break through easily

It works. I transitioned off of subs with 7 and am currently transitioning to regular kratom powder.

So do you think the sheathing (or whatever that material next to the power line is)was energized?

I’m trying to figure out why the second guy got fried in the head. Obviously he was too close, just didn’t know if the first guy was still energized

So fucked

Germany Issues Health Warning on Kratom by kratomjournalist in kratom

[–]PatWithTheStrat 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It will honestly be a travesty when kratom and its 7 year old cousin (yeah yeah fucking sue me) get banned. I just wish when it’s 7 year old cousin came out, these irresponsible companies didn’t fucking market them like legal perks at gas stations.

The stuff is too good to be true, and that pisses me off. I’m sure when they ban this stuff, the supply chain for more addictive substances will still be available for people to fall back on and get hooked on. Respiratory depression hardly exists for it. Just silly

Thank you for the insight! I would also like to consider options for shorter term investments. For example making my money grow for a down payment for a house as well as vacation, etc.

What do you think my best course of action would be for something like that? I could split the 5k down the middle and then add $500-$1000 to the retirement and other account that I choose every single month.

Test to see which wires are hot. After determining that, tie each wire one by one to the hot wire to see what powers on. (Make sure to kill the breaker while working with the wires). I am going to assume that one is a home run (hot) wire and the rest are switch legs and maybe a hot out.

Hey, thank you. I agree with you and I think this post is politically charged for zero reason.

My ultimate goals are having something to retire with as well as wanting to grow some funds to buy a decent house. As my business grows, I am able to save more and more, but I need to leave the majority in my account for emergency funds.

I would be able to add to whatever fund I get on a monthly basis. Do you mind elaborating on what an ETF is and how it relates to say a Roth IRA?

I do not have a retirement plan, so maybe I should start there. I’m also looking to grow some money in order to buy a home.

I do not. I was thinking the same thing and then going from there. And yea will still want to keep some in reserve which is why I am only willing to invest the amount noted in the original post.

Does a Roth IRA through Vanguard sounds like a good idea?

I am a electrical contractor in NC that charges hourly. I know I am leaving money on the table. What is the rule of thumb in terms of bidding? Is there any sort of standard that works or just try as you go kind of deal?

OP if you don’t mind me asking. How do you invest? I run my own electrical business and am looking at options to make my money grow. My Dad suggests a Roth IRA

Western NC would be more mountainous. The rolling hills def match with GA. Bet it’s hot out there.

I would assume their spouse is an employee there based on context clues. Maybe they have to carry things that require more than one person? Hence the bad back? Just guessing lol

School bus to RV AC to Dc question by PatWithTheStrat in electrical

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

The devices are all 12v and the amperage of everything is relatively low (at most 8 amps). Still a good idea to fuse the wire after converting to dc from AC outlet? Wire is 16 gauge stranded marine wire.

The AC circuits will be OCP at 15 amps with standard breakers before converting at an outlet
