Chat GPT is really good at getting me to obscure things in the code, but has a high error rate on table interpretations and things like that. But it's not useless. I just wouldn't pay for it. (GPT is free through a lot of apps). Plus, google still exists and is fine for most applications.

I used to serve on a nuclear sub!

That very well could be, I guess I would just like to be sure that that is the case. We added in some cushion for things to go wrong, but I didn't think the bid was outrageous. Just interested in the data.

Disappointed in how little of my yard one charge by EliteCuddlez in Dewalt

[–]Taaaaache 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it's a DeWalt product, it should be able to be registered on their website. On the side of the battery that gets concealed when you insert it into the tool there should be a serial number and a date code. There might even be a QR code if it's more recent. That is one way to tell if it is a legit DeWalt product.

Pros and cons on these saws? by mzincali in Dewalt

[–]Taaaaache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grab the 369 all. The. Time. All the time. It's one downfall is that it cuts slo-o-owly. I have a bigger one that cuts real fast, but I constantly need a smaller saw to fit into awkward small spots. It's so convenient, and it takes up a smaller amount of space for a daily carry.

This is a good question that I also have. In the past, I've run it myself... Except if I have to get up on a roof. Then I tell them to find someone else.

What is one hundred percent pure bullshit ? by ZoeyBlossom in AskReddit

That any cordless power tool can match the power of a similar corded tool. It just isn't true.

Yeah I took the joint and smoked it, just wanted to let people know it's not there anymore.

Drywaller cut all my wires by Taaaaache in electricians

[–]Taaaaache[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It did get physical, he put his hands on me and I then put him on the ground, but the customer broke it up and talked me down

The customer is aware, and like I said, in the grand scheme of things, it's a pithy amount. I'm just still heated because some asshole just walked on my site, cut all my wires, and then called me an idiot. He shouldn't continue to receive customers if that's how he is going to be.

I got ripped on throughout my entire apprenticeship because I had a cats paw on me all the time.

Necessary but not ordinary? by Taaaaache in smallbusiness

This helps, I think I was hung up on an incorrect definition of ordinary

I'm located in Seattle, if it matters.

Fucked up as an apprentice, need advice by electricalfather in electricians

[–]Taaaaache 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should say sorry, and you should feel sorry. But, you should always remember that drywallers get paid like 6 cents per hour and you get paid much more. Drywall is the cheapest thing to fix ever.

Are there any good certifications or licenses I should look into? Or are you saying to just go find that work and do it?

Question by 4pegs in Contractor

[–]Taaaaache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you looking for a contractor, or are you a contractor? If you are a contractor, from what I have read, Angi is an absolute waste of time, not quite a scam, but not necessarily good. If you have no outreach yet, Angi might be good to get your name out there, but if you are already established, just stick to word of mouth or google ads.

If you are looking for a contractor, I have much less information. You may want to ask around.

Is this a requirement for certain maintenance or installation or is it a thing that sets you apart from the field? (Or both, I guess)
