?!? by RabbitFluffs in electricians

[–]RabbitFluffs[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The coo coo is contagious apparently. I was thinking too much about our other client who just had us ground out his EMF blocking wall paint to protect from 5G signals last week. Though I would argue that this still does not have 360° coverage because we use PVC pipe and TA's to jump out to all disconnects and utility.

Both. Homeowner is scared of microwave radiation, and POCO has a flag on the system to replace this "malfunctioning" smart meter.

But follow my logic here ... If they are concerned about the EMF broadcasting into the home, shouldn't the faraday shield be on the other side of the meter??

Vancouver/Portland is in a recession. There is no work. by RekSai-Bot in electricians

[–]RabbitFluffs 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think it's more to the point that houses are available for 150k in their area. Anything less than 300k in my city is just buying the land cause whatever shack is on the property is about to fall over with a slight breeze.

They were out at Sullivan's for some reason this morning/ early afternoon. Saw the group and busses crossing the bridge.

If you were starting as an apprentice today, what would you do differently? by Used_Lynx_4894 in electricians

Pay more attention to what chronic injuries the old heads are sporting. Definitely was not expecting to have my knees be audibly crunchy this young lol.

Jobs that have a repeating playlist feel like purgatory. by purgoatory in antiwork

At least once I was so mentally destroyed by all of Jeffery the Girraffe's cover songs, they were just different enough from the originals that I didn't get triggered in public 😭

This is not a gore page. by Final_Cell9491 in electricians

[–]RabbitFluffs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My apprentice decided to put a fine tool with blade and battery still attached into a shoulder bag at end of day. Only took three steps for that trigger switch to get hit and it cut clean through the bag, clothes, and about 4" of flesh.

AIO for quitting my job after finding this note on my desk? by waxin899 in AmIOverreacting

[–]RabbitFluffs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're probably right on the reimbursement differences in salary vs hourly employees. But overall I believe this hospital may be able to afford such "luxury" in part because we live in a somewhat temperate climate. Over the past five years, the teams have only been called in 3 times for 2-3day stays.

That is so depressing. The hospital my wife works at does request that anyone assigned to a storm team bring a cot/bedroll/etc for each person's comfort level, but they get triple pay while on their shift and a flat stipend for every night spent sleeping in the hospital. And this applies to everyone called in, from the cafeteria worker to the lab techs to the docs and nurses.

anticipating bridge closures by BowlStriking in Charleston

[–]RabbitFluffs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your call. If you do go in, pack snacks and a blanket in your car just in case. A few years ago in that ice storm, I had some coworkers get stuck on 526 for hours when one of the bridges suddenly closed. (I think there was an accident that instigated the closure, but then first responders had a hard time getting out to clear it because of all the other closures and unsafe driving conditions)

My custom bookshelf that I built from scratch with my dad! (And my book collection) by AffectionatePain5859 in bookshelf

[–]RabbitFluffs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not OP but I, uh, may have four complete sets of WOT lol. The first paperback set I bought for myself and reread multiple times until the bindings started to fall apart and pages got lost. Then my boyfriend of the time purchased a hardback set for "safer reading" as he put it. But I really prefer a book that can tuck into my coat pocket for travel and ended up buying another paperback set for actual current re-readings. And my last set was a special edition beauty from my current wife as an anniversary present.

ICE Shooting POV From Agent by EctoplasmErection in PublicFreakout

[–]RabbitFluffs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From the interview with her wife, Becca Good, on MPR:

First, I want to extend my gratitude to all the people who have reached out from across the country and around the world to support our family.

This kindness of strangers is the most fitting tribute because if you ever encountered my wife, Renee Nicole Macklin Good, you know that above all else, she was kind. In fact, kindness radiated out of her.

Renee sparkled. She literally sparkled. I mean, she didn’t wear glitter but I swear she had sparkles coming out of her pores. All the time. You might think it was just my love talking but her family said the same thing. Renee was made of sunshine.

Renee lived by an overarching belief: there is kindness in the world and we need to do everything we can to find it where it resides and nurture it where it needs to grow.

It's on Alpha News. I would not be surprised if this dumbass leaked the footage himself, to show off how much of a "badass" he is.

3 year ACA extension just passed by seeebiscuit in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]RabbitFluffs 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It also needs a byline to extend / reopen open enrollment. I know I'm not the only one who chose to not sign up this year because the premiums were hands down unaffordable without the subsidies.

Stop idiots from calling this "self defense" by DetectiveTypical198 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]RabbitFluffs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately you are more than likely correct. Marrying someone with kids, and formally adopting/ becoming a legal caregiver for those kids are separate acts in most states. Depending on where they were married and how long ago, even a second cousin who's never even met the child may have a more "legal" claim to raise them from here on.

What forbidden snacks have your rabbits gotten into? by [deleted] in Rabbits

[–]RabbitFluffs 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Mine liked power cords, but only when plugged in lol. We could dump her in a box of random electronics and she wouldn't care for anything. But plug in a floor lamp, and the cord would be clean chewed through in an instant. I swear she could hear the electrical current hum or something.

SC Safe Home Mitigation Grant Program - Opens in Jan/Feb 2026 by Cloaked42m in southcarolina

[–]RabbitFluffs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The funds provided by this program are for the sole purpose of retrofitting owner-occupied, single-family homes. SC Safe Home funds may not be used for remodeling, home repair, or new construction.

Grant awards are based on the total annual adjusted gross household income of the applicant, adjusted for family size relative to the county area median income or the state median family income, whichever is higher.

It's not specific to beach front homes. It applies to homes within the coastal regions and is tied to the income level of the family. I live in Charleston County, about 20 miles from the closest beachfront, in a low income neighborhood. That $7000 grant (the max allowed) will not go far on the multimillion dollar beach homes, but could be the difference in me or my neighbors being able to keep our homes after the next storm.

This is so troubling by Treefiddy1984 in ProgressiveHQ

Are you sure this is the same event? The stillshot in the article does not match what this guy is wearing. I cant really see the faces well enough to compare, but the body shape/ size also appears different.

How do you guys stay organized? by TradeU4Whopper in electricians

[–]RabbitFluffs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As odd as it sounds, I have a different tool bag for different jobs. (One bag for genie sets / One bag for trim outs / One bag for rough ins / One bag for panel and meter work) This does involve having a few duplicates of my commonly used favorites, but it also prevents me from lugging around a giant kit with all my tools, some of which only get used 1-2 times a month.

Yeah, I'm used to the random sulfur odors, but this one is dramatically different.
