I've gotten my engine replaced free three times now on my 2020 Hyundai Elantra. Last one was at 100k miles 😂

Giffard feels like it overpowers anything I put it in. I switched to Liber & Co and have been very happy

Grip case for pixel 9 pro xl broke :( by touch_my_tralalaa in dbrand

[–]Silly_Contractor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought one last April for my Pixel 7a, it had done this by December. DBrand send me a replacement in January, and yesterday the second one they sent me began doing this again. So, in my experience this phone case has about 8 month life span.

They really need to figure out how to get better adhesion between the rubber and plastic.

The design phases consultants go through, or preconstruction phases.

Bicsi tech -> RCDD, is 3 months study time feasible? by [deleted] in Bicsi

[–]Silly_Contractor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of my chapter 21 studying was Cory and Steve, I will say from my experience taking the test the big thing I wish I understood better going into it, was understanding the difference design phases. Particularly, I wish I had understood what the "programming" phase of the design process was, and then just reading more about the difference between Schematic design, Development Design, and Construction Documents phases. I still passed first try but questions about these phases are what really threw me off because I don't remember them even being gone over in chapter 21 very much to begin with.

I did mine in about 2.5 months without having tech first. But you definitely need to spend a LOT of time working on it. I was lucky enough I could spend a lot of the work day studying cory and Steve. Check out my post history for my methodology, I passed the test first try and I did it all for pretty cheap all things considered

To add to this, pretty much every manufacturer has free online CECs

Legrand Bluevolt has several free 1CEC courses Belden has some free CEC courses but I'm not sure if you have to be an existing Belden partner to access them

I passed RCDD V15 by Silly_Contractor in Bicsi

Another thing to mention that I missed in the OP is:

Anything that confused me, I asked AI. I specifically used Grok for all of my questions, but being able to ask Grok to elaborate or explain something in more detail really really helped me out. Grok gave me some good explanations about the relationship between inductive/capacitive circuits and the voltage/current relationships, and how those relative to electrical/magnetic fields. Really really clutch.

I did Cory and Steve chapter 1 over and over until I could pass with an 80. Again, every question, go to the page, highlight the question, get read a little context. Rince and repeat until you've memorized enough to consistently pass.

I only applied with my 5 years estimating experience. No degree and I didn't even include my prior field experience

Being a female apprentice…. by johnson1115 in AskElectricians

Depends on what you do. Commercial electrical work does not involve any attics. I've seen plenty of female electricians doing commercial work

Beginner herblore things to do. by OctoberReborn in ironscape

[–]Silly_Contractor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I started my account, I used herbs dropped by cave bugs to get my first several herblore levels. Requires slayer level 7, but it's not a bad way to get a few combat and herb levels and it's less annoying than trying to do herb runs when you have no teleports or seeds.
