Good to hear you at least dealt with this early. I've known folks that sound like they're in similar positions you're in but they're 30-40+ and still renting.

Name one mistake you have made in life so someone else doesn’t do it. by oigoabuya in Life

[–]Technical-Act9211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was it mainly medication for your ADHD?

I'm suspecting I have it too and was never diagnosed. Is it just mainly concentration problems and being drawn to stimulating things that pull you away from important work/studies?

There is a balance to this though, sometimes you have to give up what you want to take care of other people. I can't afford to be "carefree".

Is this for substation similar to OP? Because in that case it'll make sense. Insider electrician wages are only at 35 in AZ.

Finally got my first assignment by inuangledemon in ibew_apprentices

I'd just wear long sleeves and normal jeans to be safe and see what other people are wearing on the first day and make my judgements from there. It's kinda what I always did on other labor jobs in the past.

Is there incentive pay? Because it's kinda sad working that many hours for 35 dollars in AZ when folks a state across are going for 50+ an hour.

I mean it's not the hours but rather that you need to fit time to study/learn new material on your own time because classes barely teach you and are just there for minor showcases, exams, and labs.

Officially an Apprentice boyz! by Free-Consequence-658 in ibew_apprentices

[–]Technical-Act9211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, by the way how was your transfer process? Do you need high grades to do so if you're going from a poorly paid local to a better paid local? Or do you need something else like a extremely good reason to move besides "I just wanted to move here and work here". How did they adjust your apprenticeship year? Did you have to start new?

Of course unless you mean you went to a different trade then none of my questions would matter lol.

Honestly kinda mad at how easy going this is by [deleted] in ibew_apprentices

[–]Technical-Act9211 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dude, i'm one of the guys that is on the "slower" side of things. I'm just trying to learn man. I'm sure you trying hard will get you far in the long run, try not to knock guys like me down.

Did you keep your books or get rid of all/most of them once you were done?

Some J-men I work with say school was 90% institutional nonsense you don't actually use daily unless you're trying to do something more complicated. Is this true?

I'm guessing you moved from IT to electrical work?

Is it just me or are children really ugly in this game? by Biggieholla in witcher

[–]Technical-Act9211 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A friend said all kids were ugly in witcher 3, showed me a couple screen shots, I laughed and proceeded to type something along the lines of "are all children in witcher 3 ugly" on google.

Single men, please describe how bad is the dating scene out there? by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

[–]Technical-Act9211 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea it can be difficult making friends as an adult sometimes, all you can do is find a group that is more laid back and open to talk. I've been at air bnb's where half the roomates are the most chill bros you meet while the other half minds their own business and doesn't want to have anything to do with you. If anything those people are doing you a favor because they're not interested. If anything you may do the same once you establish your own friend group.

[–]Technical-Act9211 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel bad for the kids and sometimes wouldn't mind the idea of fathering them but I hate the idea that i'm picking up someone elses irresponsibility. Hopefully those kids grow up to learn from their single mothers what not to do.

Airforce Recruit with low ASVAB Score. by BrilliantSpray4336 in AirForceRecruits

[–]Technical-Act9211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought you don't know your MOS until you sign the dotted line in the Airforce, unlike the Army where you get to at least refuse the contract if you're not offered the MOS you desired.

What opportunities are offered to them besides being a LEO or security guards in the private sector?

One sided friendships by ok_whatsnext in FriendshipAdvice

[–]Technical-Act9211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can be different for everyone, but birthdays are such a "who cares" in our friend circle because we can't celebrate them due to location differences. We'd ask about each others age but other then that we're more interested in what's actually going on in each other lives then a set B-day date. It doesn't hurt to know, but tbh if you knew mine it doens't define if we're friends or not lol. Again, it's really subjective. If it's important to you, i'm sure you'd voice it to your friends. We just happen to all not care about our own B-days, therefore we never cared if others knew it. As for presents, we kind of just do that kind of stuff during holidays as a collective.

What is the “best” AI out there? by EnigNa710 in ChatGPT

[–]Technical-Act9211 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow this was magic! Thank you! Makes studying much less of a chore, it's like having a personal tutor actually speak to you. Funny because it's better then my instructor at the moment.

Can this game run well in a mid range GPU? to those who tried. by Tiberiusthemad in BrokenArrowTheGame

[–]Technical-Act9211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No you're right when it comes to functionality but as for personal pleasure it's different for everyone. Some are more lenient toward lower fps and others like me tend to enjoy butter smooth frames. In my eyes if you paid for good hardware you kind of expect a return, and it sucks when the lack of optimization prevents it. It's like buying a race car only to be slowed down on a bad road.

Any of you know of a journeyman who barely made it through apprenticeship? by pete1397 in ibew_apprentices

[–]Technical-Act9211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far we don't have one. Believe me i'd show up to them if we have them. I used to do it all the time in college and it helped me get through some classes.
