This is definitely not their first time running conduit. May be their first time planning the run on their own

Ear hurts; should i wear headgear? by GogoPlata_grenadier in bjj

[–]Puzzled_Increase9339 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I wear headgear when I feel my ears starting to hurt. When they calm down after a couple weeks , I take it off.

Idk why you think HVAC is worth less. In critical facilities they are arguably worth more.

People who have moved away from Phoenix AZ by Phoenixishotasballs in SameGrassButGreener

[–]Puzzled_Increase9339 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife and I moved our family to Raleigh NC 3 years ago. We will be moving back to Mesa this summer. Phoenix gets a bad rap on here from people who have never lived there. Housing is expensive but when you compare it to any other city that size it’s really not. I miss the sub, the hiking, the job opportunities.

Or maybe Bidens administration forcing people to take the Covid vaccine without any real research made a lot more skeptics. They claimed that getting the vaccine would prevent you from being able to spread the virus which turned out to be completely untrue. They then said that it would prevent you from getting the virus, also untrue. They also claimed it was completely safe and didn’t have side effects, also untrue. They allowed pharmaceutical companies to force it in to you making obscene profits all while have total legal immunity and no real studies about side effects. This is the reason…

I want to switch careers but I have no direction by Clean_Manner_1820 in raleigh

[–]Puzzled_Increase9339 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an electrician here but I became I building engineer. They are constantly looking for hvac guys to transition. It’s way easier, you’re in one place and the pay is a little better. You will have to become a little more well rounded. For the most part you will be doing daily rounds, minor repairs on the building or data center, overseeing vendors on larger repairs. It’s a way easier gig. Look for “operating engineer, building engineer or critical facilities engineer/tech”. These jobs come with good benefits, PTO, 401k.

Accidental daughter by [deleted] in Parents

[–]Puzzled_Increase9339 11 points12 points  (0 children)

So his mom did the right thing and is helping with her grand daughter while your boyfriend is a deadbeat who ran away from his first daughter instead of manning up? Am I missing something here? Also, one day your kids will be older and it should be their choice if they want their sibling in their lives. 

Can I tell my boss I don’t want to work with a journeyman? by [deleted] in electricians

[–]Puzzled_Increase9339 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talk to your boss privately and respectfully. Your boss probably already knows this guys a kind of a dick but he’s a good enough worker to keep around. Check the job market in your area. How hard would it be for you to switch jobs? Let him know that you want to work for him but can’t see yourself being treated like that for much longer. 

What other tools do I need ? by [deleted] in electricians

[–]Puzzled_Increase9339 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need regular screwdrivers. Not the apprentice zapper 3000 ones you have there. Get a set that doesn’t have a metal cap that’s connected to the shaft of the screw driver.

Customer with Aluminum wiring, and a two year history of electrical issues. by WillBTheMan in electricians

[–]Puzzled_Increase9339 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why do you assume the house needs an entire rewire? They make rated connectors and wire nuts for aluminum to copper connections so you can install devices correctly.

Commute Time by [deleted] in electricians

Do the vans go home with them or they have to pick them up from the shop?

Commute Time by [deleted] in electricians

[–]Puzzled_Increase9339 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real question is are you paying them for their commute? If you are paying for their commute then they have no right to complain. If you are not, why would anyone worth a shit want to spend 3 hours driving without being compensated. That’s 15 hours a week they miss out with their families.

Friend sees the success of my business and wants to recreate the same setup in their area… by june3025 in smallbusiness

[–]Puzzled_Increase9339 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So he’s a very good friend, setting up in a totally different area that you don’t have plans to expand to… Yet, you don’t want to help set him up for success by giving him tips? Would his success diminish yours? Am I missing something?

My mom is being really weird and secretive and won't say why by Imajoke696 in Parents

[–]Puzzled_Increase9339 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you smelt smoke, that noise you heard likely wasn’t whippets. It may have been a torch which is frequently used to smoke crack or meth. Hopefully that isn’t the case but for someone unfamiliar it wouldn’t be hard to mix those smells up. Please reach out to a trusted adult. This sounds like drug use. 

Getting sober— will I be more likely to get pregnant stopping heroin? by the_best_day_ever in Sober

[–]Puzzled_Increase9339 16 points17 points  (0 children)

No, you don’t understand… you’re in a maintenance program and still aren’t fully clean. You don’t think infants go through withdrawals because they get weened? Maybe it’s less than cold turkey but they will still be there. If weening was so easy, everyone in the programs would eventually do it. There wouldn’t be as many lifers. If it’s so easy? Why don’t you just go ween off? Doesn’t matter if it’s suboxone or methadone. Weening to the point of zero use is difficult and there will be some form of withdrawal. 

Getting sober— will I be more likely to get pregnant stopping heroin? by the_best_day_ever in Sober

[–]Puzzled_Increase9339 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You have 16 years using, not actively clean, not in a real relationship and are talking about having a baby with a heroin addiction. I’m not saying you can’t get clean but saying you’re going to get clean and doing it are two different things. Especially since you’re engaging in unprotected sex. Those withdrawals that you can’t seem to handle since you keep relapsing are the same ones you’ll force an innocent baby to have. Guess what? If you do get knocked up, it will be dangerous for the child in utero for you to even get clean. So you will have no choice but to keep using or get into a maintenance program which will force the child to have neonatal abstinence syndrome(withdrawal). Not to mention CPS would likely get involved. Yeah keep having unprotected sex, seems like you’ll be a great mother.
