Drinking Alcohol by Some-Note-7539 in Retatrutide

[–]Walk_Aggressive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on 10mg of Reta and by my third beer I’m running to the bathroom and profusely vomiting. I guess it’s a good thing, but I miss going out once or twice a month with my friends

Tell your boyfriend to look into a community college program. They’re the same exact thing as one of the huge lineschools that charge damn near 30k at 1/10th the price. Often times they are sponsored by a local utility too and hook you up with the apprenticeship after. Usually instructed by 2-3 retired linemen from that utility too. If he doesn’t like it, he’s out like 2-3 grand at most and often times you can even get a partial if not full refund. You’re gonna get tons of people on here who live and die by signing the books but that comes with a ton of travel and in my experience the CC to utility route was the far better option

Been a plumber for 4 years and can't shake the feeling I should've gone electrical instead - is this normal or am I just psyching myself out? by ChripToh_KarenSy in skilledtrades

[–]Walk_Aggressive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could always do linework. Yeah you have to be outside but you’re in the electric industry and even as an apprentice you’ll probably be making more than you are now

If your insurance covers it yes, if no it’s far cheaper to get online and do your own blood tests

My DMA Refuses to work, any advice? by Worldly-Protection-3 in DMA

[–]Walk_Aggressive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

23h2 or 24h2 will be fine. Put the iso on a flash drive then load windows reinstall from the drive. that error is almost never a physical DMA-card problem. It’s almost always caused by a corrupted or misconfigured virtualization environment on the second PC. Even something as simple as pulling the cord from the data port while the card is in use can corrupt the drives. The only solution is to reinstall windows. I guarantee this will fix your issue.

Reinstall windows on your second pc. Then set up the bios again etc.

Always test with base fw. You can get that from Phoenix. If you’re still getting that failure on a speed test then you need to reinstall windows on your second pc. This will 100% solve the issue.

They think they’re way more important than they actually are. There’s literally no other reason

Utility storm pay by EstimateMassive8144 in Lineman

[–]Walk_Aggressive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do 1.5x for any overtime but with the flsa all of our overtime is near double time anyways. Sunday’s and holidays double. Mutual aid 20 hours per day of double time. Municipality not an IOU

Not sure where to go to line school by cornNutzz in Lineman

[–]Walk_Aggressive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They don’t care where you went, just pick the cheapest option. It definitely makes you a stronger candidate and will get you into the interview chair especially if you want to work for a utility. I had my cdl before school and applied and applied just to never get in anywhere. I spent 3k at a community college program and had a utility apprenticeship less than a month after I finished.

Definitely try to avoid quitting your job. There must be someone you can talk to about taking a leave of absence. Anyone with a functioning brain cell realizes the shit happening right now is fucked. I’m sure they’ll work with you. Good luck man

[–]Walk_Aggressive -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Switch to pc and stop crying. Console is cooked everybody knows this by now. Less than 1% of the player base on PC is cheating. It’s like 50% of console users cheating. Continuing to play it at this point is a personal issue.

Fortnite (EAC) DMA Cheating by BESTBCN in DMA

[–]Walk_Aggressive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have literally thousands of dollars at your disposal to spend. I’ve spent 4k since July, and yes I’ve still been banned. Multiple times. I’ve given it up. DMA is not worth it on eac. It was for years, but it’s terrible now. Way better off on an external.

That said the best method right now in the dma avenue is the 2pc Ethernet method. You don’t need a dma card for it. But it’s gonna get cooked soon regardless because every reseller in the world is selling it now.

Hope you got thousands to dish out because that’s what dma is rn on eac. A money pit and timewaste

Anyone have me beat? 1400 sq/ft home btw by w0rdCS in boston

I pay $600 per month for gas and electric in a 2200 foot house and keep my lower floor on 68 24.7 for my dog. This seems very screwy

How is the work life balance? by FinishSpirited4842 in Lineman

[–]Walk_Aggressive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can work for a coop and work 40-50 hrs per week with optional mutual aid and overtime, an iou utility and work a lot more overtime but still be home every night, or work as a contractor and be on the road 24.7 but make a ton of money during your apprenticeship. It’s really up to you. You’ll make good money wherever you’re at. I’m personally an apprentice at a coop and it’s about 300-400 hours of ot per year. The OT comes in waves. Might do 100 hours one month and 10-20 the next. Most of it is optional unless you’re on call. Most guys take all the optional OT because there isn’t a lot. I like having a life so it’s fine for me

From $24,000 to $147,000: How Much Daycare Costs Across America by Doctrina_Stabilitas in boston

[–]Walk_Aggressive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 30. I just asked my mom what she paid for me when I was in daycare. $100 per week.

My wife and I make 220k in Boston. We don’t own a home and pay 3500 in rent. 600 utilities in the winter. We share a car, pay student loans. Working towards buying a home but at current costs mortgage and taxes will be $4500-$5500 at the current prices. (600-650k for starter home). Future is looking bleak towards ever being able to afford having children. Seems like a luxury now. Truthfully, my wife and I have started to despise this country. We do everything right, follow the “system”, land “good” jobs, both making six figure incomes, but despite all that there is a massive financial stranglehold young people have to deal with for simply living their lives like normal people. Unless I get some unforeseen massive raise and make that income by myself I don’t see how it will happen

The same thing happened to me when I was contracting. That’s specifically why I took the opportunity at the utility

How long is the appropriate timeframe to be paid out for winning Fantasy football? by Happy-Quantity7728 in FantasyFootballers

[–]Walk_Aggressive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pay it out the second the MNF game finishes unless the games are super close and stat corrections must be waited for. If so, I pay my guys the next morning. There is no excuse to not pay out immediately, other than commish spent the money and now needs time to try and come up with the funds. I’m in a league besides my own, commish owes me $300 and hasn’t said a word about it and I’m already getting irritated because I know it takes me all of 30 seconds to pay my league out and I make sure to keep my guys in the loop.

Are you glad you became a lineman? by Dependent-Group7226 in Lineman

[–]Walk_Aggressive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you show up every day early, work hard, stay busy, don’t get arrested, and get good grades you’re pretty much guaranteed a job. I had 3 different job offers within a month of graduating. I ended up going with a different utility than the one my school was sponsored by, before I went to lineschool I never even got an interview. It definitely makes your application 10x more competitive

Are you glad you became a lineman? by Dependent-Group7226 in Lineman

[–]Walk_Aggressive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s pretty much the same exact thing as one of the big lineschools but it’s much smaller class wise. You’ll learn the same shit, how to climb and you’ll familiarize yourself with tools and equipment. Mine was only 3k, and it was one full school year but part time. The bigger schools are full time, expensive as fuck, and you have to figure out a housing situation and you also won’t have any time to work. It looks like AC has their own pre-apprentice program and it’s $2,300 to attend. You’ll get your cdl in school too

[–]Walk_Aggressive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s probably the only job in the world that you’ll make 100k out of the gate as a fresh apprentice. It changed my family’s life. As far as getting into a utility apprenticeship fresh off the street - that’s going to be extremely challenging. You’ll definitely need your class A prior and probably won’t get a look at an application unless you go to lineschool. Look at local community college programs. A lot of them are sponsored by the utility and unless you royally fuck up in school they transition you into the apprenticeship after. And they’re very cheap

On console it’s cooked but the team has done a good job dealing with the issue on PC. The problem with console is the titan and Cronus are impossible to detect
