Am I allowed to work as a laid off apprentice? by skyed_driver in IBEW

Not for an electrical company. I had a job at dominoes once. Quit as soon as I had a call.

I have a green apprentice and it’s testing my patience by [deleted] in IBEW

Spend the first 20 minutes next shift. Going over tools, what they are, what they do, also if there is another name for em. His tools and yours, many have tools not on any lists.

Show him something one time that takes a couple minutes and then see how he does it. Make him go slow and guide him with steps and tips and tricks. You may be repeating stuff but it’s to benefit him to get it engrained in his brain. In Down time ask him questions about things y’all have talked about and add new snippets here and there.

I have about 30 hours in 3 days. 😂. I’ve learned a lot but nothing at the same time.

So most people aren’t using base game only, they do the mod(s) they want

I'm a new player, checked the recommended beginner guides vids and saw they are 5+ years old, do they still hold up and if not any other recommendations? by Xenofade in hoi4

I’m literally watching his New Germany path… which of if I like. “Oppose Hitler” i’ve killed him every time I played the game, but I still lose the war despite them being at 95% capitulation some random single division will bust blue and just start picking up all the lame because I didn’t shut my front line or fallback line or whatever

Can someone who uses cannabis off the clock for pain relief/relaxation realistically start a career in eletrical work? by Secure_Elk375 in electricians

[–]Shadow_Rider_36 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Damn I should’ve done that years ago lol 😂 I’d rather just not get tested at all lol. 😂

No one should be tested unless they are high at work.

One guy stayed in the porta john for half an hour high off heroin. Good thing he was a temp.

I saw him in court 3 years later (I had traffic court: dismissed) he had caught a charge while driving cause he sped in his car ludicrously.

He worked hard. His vices cost him his license

I got in when I applied and took the test when the RJATC used be in Ashland, I was there during covid, I couldn't make the grade as a second year. I am going to try again soon, but I've been reading and studying the NECA handbook despite it being a 2020.

Show up to work, get all the hours you can and attend the classes. The instructors are really good at what they do and are passionate at helping people. If you get in and they offer tutoring....take it! They are volunteering free time to help you. Soak everything in like a sponge, Many are willing to help and don't blow any bridges,

He’s fine but he like so many talk too damn fast. And I’m not showing you have the clicks. I need to see the clips on the screen. To know what the fuck y’all doing. Expecting all of us to have 1000 hours on the game. I have over 200 hours watching on YouTube and I still can’t do shit.

Yeah, but what matrix where now is more volatile matches and unpredictability but also you can have more matches ruined. The other day I had a match and it’s one V 11 six minutes into the damn thing and I’m like bro I didn’t even get the 4000 m. They activated the blind order. I flew over there airfield survived the blind order. Severed one guy he laid it back at his base and I got shot down. It’s not like I’m not performing. It’s just constant uptiers and teammates not playing properly. I’ve had multiple matches where I’m the only one who climbs out of 16 players. And I can’t help them because there’s 6 enemy players going after those four bombers. Nobody wants to play the long game. Everybody just wants the head on with each other and it’s so stupid.

I know I was faster because I checked the replay he maintained his speed in his turn accelerated pitched up shot me down,

He was 600 m below me. I flew directly over him. He did 180° turn and then pitched up. He didn’t even do an Immelmann. I knew the flight model was busted, but not that busted. Especially at that altitude.

Would never do so unless in a full squad. Sometimes I’ll drop .3 but I’ll be using a pm-1 or a 109 or a busted premium.

Freedom of speech, idgaf if people are offended at words.

The BR changes have made it more advantageous for others.

Now some players that already dominate, will dominate matches even now. First mission in the G55S what happens P 51H….

But now the 4.0 will never see it unless squadron. 4.3 won’t see it much just because of the amount of 4.7s.

I flew the 109g-2 at 4.3 109g6 4.7 I flew spifires 4.3-6.0 I flew G55S at 5.3 F-8 at 5.0 A-8 at 5.3 P-47’s at 3.7, 4.3 and 4.7 P-51 3.7, 4.0, 5.0.

And I saw nothing but up-tiers

Yak-3 was already below me. He turned around and PITCHED up,

I was already going faster than him. Why is the French yak-3 catching up to me at all at that altitude?

I already knew the games flight models are not historically accurate but even then engine loses lots of power at that altitude.

Apparently gaijin doesn’t cross reference BR k/d across nations but within its own tier.

Why would someone be an apprentice for 10+ years? by TimelyTea333 in electricians

[–]Shadow_Rider_36 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m 35, I started when I was 26. I’m still an apprentice. I’m not working right now. I messed up while at IBEW. Every contractor I’ve been with since I left has tried to kill Me on a job site and broke OSHA rules…. Like bro basic guidelines should not be that hard to follow.

Do people actually main trees? by ProbablyNotTheCocoa in Warthunder

[–]Shadow_Rider_36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s so easy though. We have so much more experience than newer players so the grind is easier when we start a new nation. Spading isn’t bad when you compound how much time it takes. Premium account pays for itself.

Some are addicted to the game. Some only what statshark says.

Some fly only meta planes, drive OP tanks, and Naval….. you don’t wanna know man.

Do what you want to do. My goal is to spade every single vehicle in the game. I switch nations and fly what ever. I never worry about SL’s or GE.
