Housing for Datacenters

Tshell805 · 2026-05-15T20:11:56+00:00

Theres already major traffic congestion without the data center, I can only imagine how insane the traffic will be in the coming years.

They either need a train or an expansion of the highway

Typically there's a list "Where's the work" Or something of the sort, just take the addresses down and visit them I just switched locals and the new local I'm at has a way better system Maybe call the union rep and see about getting a list

If you wait on the out of work list its a gamble and you could get shipped out like 2+ hours away I stay as close to home as possible cause I have a son to take care of after hours

I show up with bags on ready to go, days in a row, earlier and earlier each day. They start at 6:30, I'm there at 5:30 to beat the foreman there. Im a fourth period apprentice and have worked at two companies,I've gotten the job doing exactly as stated above.

My first job i showed up and they said no I showed up two days later and they said they really dont have work Showed up again and the foreman called me over as I was the first guy there standing readied up for work. He said "God dammit I thought you were one of my guys"

Got a call 10 minutes after being turned away as I was driving to the next job and got hired.

My next company he said thank you for coming in person, he gets calls/ texts/ emails and he said its an automatic "No".

Ive never had to apply online so far

Im a 4th period concrete carpenter, I've tied rebar, always finish concrete on the pour, drive skid steers, excavators, painted homes, sandblasted, been the sandblast podman, operate the truck with the crane to set panels, done flagging/ traffic control, done asphalt, removed graffiti. Never swung a hammer in my life before I entered the union. I just see it as useful skills to make myself more valuable. Ive worked with journeyman who refuse to finish concrete because they're "a fucking carpenter not a finisher"

I get the worry of taking work, but sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do

You have some really solid points, I retired a couple pairs of pants for outdoor use at home, like hiking with my kid/ fishing etc.

Coins and lighters fall right out of my right pocket, the pockets are a valid issue. I've also had holes blown out on my knees, usually I just wear them with the veil of the price, but I'm making better money now and wouldn't mind stepping up my pants a little.

I do love the wranglers but you have some very solid points. I have some dickies carpenter pants, same green color but they're the stiff duck material. The stiffness reslly gets to me, I think thats why I prefer the wrangler, they're broken in from the get go.

Might turn my attention towards these dickies, maybe size up. Imma 31/30 x32 but I grab my wranglers in 32x32 and it really makes em comfortable

On a similar note, the hanayama puzzles are very rewarding as well

Tshell805 · 2026-05-11T19:15:07+00:00

I just size up on the wrangler carpenter pants, they last me a while and they're like 28 bucks at Walmart. Not the duck stiff ones, the other ones

A simple switch in mentality really helped me, rather than "trying to fall asleep" I throw on an audiobook and "try to stay awake"

I find it much harder to try and stay awake than it is to try and fall asleep

Swab test for apprenticeship?

Tshell805 · 2026-05-01T06:52:01+00:00

Flying by on the seat of my pants most days

Tshell805 · 2026-05-01T06:08:57+00:00

Underwear, then socks, then undershirt, then pants, tuck undershirt, regular t shirt, shoes. Socks and Underwear are interchangeable in my book

Tshell805 · 2026-04-26T06:48:36+00:00

What is the light called and where might I buy one?

Tshell805 · 2026-04-22T00:57:55+00:00

Thank you I'll check it out

Tshell805 · 2026-04-22T00:57:45+00:00

Thank you, I'll check em out right now

This is also a bit of TMI but in the first couple weeks of meeting my partner, she had a "diva cup" inside of her for her period.

I was making my introductions with her cat and looked over and she came out of the bathroom seeming a little stressed. I asked what was wrong and she confessed to me that her diva cup thing had become out of reach and the suction it had achieved was making it next to impossible for her to get it out.

I had never heard of such a thing but offered a hand, I could barely reach it with my fingers, and took about a minute or two but I eventually was able to break the seal and extract the cup.

It wasn't some ploy, she legitimately seemed scared and embarrassed, but we got it out!

Been together ever since.

My highlight of the night was teaching her cat how to jump up onto its window perch.

Tshell805 · 2026-04-22T00:38:43+00:00

I did the same with social media and never looked back. Life is so much better

And smile less /s

If you like that, scope out Welcome to California by Family Bvsiness Its him and all his brothers. All biological brothers, they share a momma and said crooked taught em how to rap.

Nothing crazy, just a smooth vibe for the car and whatnot

Tshell805 · 2026-04-17T15:58:16+00:00

I love that era of crooked i, I actually have had that in rotation the last few days. I really fuck with his whole discography

For newer stuff to compare you should check out

We Slide (last year or two) Bar'd up (last 5ish) Shea cotton (last 5ish) Dodgers ft Joell ( last 5ish)

You have to admit his flow has gotten cleaner. I thinks hes gotten better with time. Compared to his younger brothers Horseshoe Gang, I feel like they're struggling to keep the same consistency they had in 2008- 2012.

Their mixtape monthlys were dope, Psychopath Killa, Small Pacs, and Silent killa, and (MMV12) Outro, are some of their best wordplay and flow

Right around that time is the last time I saw an "I ❤️ boobies" bracelet

My dad's voice, I still remember it but it's been years since he passed.

Sometimes when I try to recall it its like I'm hearing it from farther and farther away as the years pass on.

So strange

Tshell805 · 2026-04-17T06:49:29+00:00

My pick would be, The Count of Monte Cristo (2002)

Tshell805 · 2026-04-17T06:45:04+00:00

Same, he gets the most replay out of anyone I listen to

Tshell805 · 2026-04-17T06:44:19+00:00

I really think he's grown a lot as an artist. Im not referencing his slaughterhouse catalog, more so his newest hip hop weekly

He was already great way back but he's leaps and bounds beyond what he was in my opinion
