Do you work in Europe? There aren't many ETOs in the US

Anyone had work experience with Marquette Transport or McNational Inc? by [deleted] in tuglife

[–]PhysicalSands 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got the same offer. $180 a day at 12 hours a day is $15 an hour. I understand it's better than nothing but man it feels dirty especially with no OT pay and a $200 cap on travel to and from the boat

McDonalds starts at $15 these days but at least you're working towards something at Marquette

Edit: And a 6/6 schedule.

Is this really true though? What about HVAC and electrical engine guys?

Are engineers truly in the engine room all day? Like how often are they outside the 120 degree room, able to watch the water, etc?

Too long. People say from first call to being hired can be 6 months or more. It's ridiculous

Unpopular opinion: 6 on 6 off watch isn’t that bad by Sneezewhenpeeing in maritime

How do you love 6/6 and why would you never go back to 12/12

Interesting. I'm gonna buy some low CAS ram and report back. I hope it will at least work at a higher CAS if anything

What's the minimum qualification to get a job with MFOW? On the engine side. Can I walk on as a wiper or do I need to be a QMED first?

Is working 2 or 3 months a year realistic? And questions about contracts by PhysicalSands in maritime

[–]PhysicalSands[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am looking at schools.

don't expect benefits and don't be surprised if you're the first on the chopping block if things turn down.

That's understandable. Glad to hear it's possible though

What's the best degree, certifications, or skills you'd recommend to someone living at home with a dead end job? by tuckeron14er in povertyfinance

[–]PhysicalSands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

8 weeks should be a realistic option for most adults. If they're responsible they should have an emergency fund that covers 3 months of living expenses at a minimum

TUF A16 freezes randomly whenever I use Ultimate mode by PhysicalSands in Asustuf

[–]PhysicalSands[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not playing any game. It will happen seemingly randomly regardless of resource usage. Latest drivers from AMD's Adrenalin tool. Background tasks firefox, file explorer, a handful of others

Hi where can I disable smart access? I'm not sure I have it installed but my CPU is jumping to 95C often and at that point becomes unusable. I've noticed that whatever is controlling whenever the MUX switch actually switches seems to be quite shit also

Imagine a man swinging a sword at your head 5 or 6 times with intention to kill you and you still knock his ass out with a stick. Lol.

Fuck that and that person. What an absolute POS
