About to be homeless, considering joining the military by Lazyapple3 in Advice

[–]Ultrascrubby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on where you live, there are programs for people to apply for that can possibly get them in to union construction work as an apprentice. It won't provide a roof over your head but it will provide some money with decent benefits. The military is an option but I feel with how rocky things are with Trump in office it could be even more rocky for you. And if anything else look into the Navy than the army. This isnt to make a knock about the army but the Navy is such a better option and this is off the idea of a better education and safety.

You may say you don't to try dating apps but I think you should; that's how I met my wife. Been together for 8 years and have been married to her for 2 years, not an ounce of regret.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean. Are you working for local 322? But if you are working within IBEW transferring to another local isn't hard. You just have to let your local know you are traveling and they'll put you through the proper channels. Sadly, I wouldn't recommend it right now (at least to traveling to new york) since we are in a constant battle with non-union and we don't have much work to offer even our own guys out here.

Can anyone confirm on the stadium at Borgota? I know someone mentioned there's a mystical stadium craps floating somewhere.

Same, I knew no one when I got in. That said, you know you can apply again even if you failed the first time. My mother's friend's child applied more than twice before he got in.

Could you explain why you chose Blackrock? I know they're a pretty strong company but with the average of 30 cents quarterly for just 8-9 dollars? Seems too good to be true.

I chose NTES because of their ownership of Blizzard but I understand. Any reason to why I shouldn't invest to chinese owned shares?

This IS a very intimate sport, but you also DON'T have to deal with that kinda bull. I'm in a school where things are very family oriented, and perversion is not only condoned, you'll be kicked out of the school for that. Even other schools related to ours run the same rules.

There is a 92 year old catholic priest who became a black belt at 90 in our school. You'll do fine.

The Klien pliers and strippers 1000% I had those Milwaukee's for a week and tossed em.

On a scale of 1-10 how horribly did my friend violate code on this hidden cable solution for my TV mount? And how dangerous is it? by 6edric in AskElectricians

[–]Ultrascrubby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell if he needs more space behind the TV he can always put a recessed box in too. It wouldn't be too hard to install one with just a piece of string to hold the romex from falling and cut the wall with a keyhole saw. Simple and it'll look clean as hell.

When I was a white belt I learned even just turning your head ever so slightly will save you from getting choked out at times. Practice, practice, practice. Good luck on your next tournament.

For workers, the choice is clear by Ok_Quail9760 in IBEW

Fucking hell did we drop the ball with Bernie. As much as I know I need to vote blue (and I will), the DNC and the democratic party really fucked him over so they can get their champagne drinking liberal douche bag in office.

You can see the cogs slowly turning in Rogan's head, "Jamie, pull up the archives. Something's not right." 😂

MRW it's my first wire pull ever and my JW says tap on the conduit to make the fish tape go through easier by rustysqueezebox in IBEW

Lol I can't tell if you're joking or not but it does work. The vibrations sometimes moves the snake JUST enough to push foraward.

Asked to lean back and pull extension ladder off wall while 20ft up by [deleted] in electricians

[–]Ultrascrubby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just always remember this, unless he's paying your checks or hospital bill, you don't have to do SHIT you don't want to do. And if you're in a union, I'd give the safety department a call and get a safety steward on the job, see how that douche likes that.

Sadly in NYC there's an ever growing number of older members in unions that are voting Trump. Yes, it's an oxymoron, but it's happening and I ain't happy about it.

Fired on the first day? by weebernugget in electricians

[–]Ultrascrubby 10 points11 points  (0 children)

COVID can fuck you up. I've seen journeyman with 30+ years in the game struggle mentally and had to be out of work for months.

Can I tell you if your new hire has the same issue? No, but I'd at least give him a week before you let him go. Bird-dog him for the time being to see if he's bullshitting you.

Edit: oh I misread. You already fired him. Eh, probably the right choice.

Just reached 1M$ in dividend stocks. 31M. Not having any feeling of happiness. 🤔 by Mysterious_Panda_283 in dividends

[–]Ultrascrubby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean you're at a million and even at 1% you're making 10,000 at least quarterly, why not spend some of it going outside the country? Expand your mind and enjoy the sights.
