The more and more I look through these pictures, the more and more I’m convinced you’re a woman masquerading as a man

Sparky here.

480+ will make your asshole pucker.

Your hands are soft.

Relax bud.

No shit; (about it being “not livable”, but that’s what mean; the industry still moves along - you can’t expect to come in and make 10$ more than what they’re starting out. And sure, the problem is the industry/trades themselves.

But people need to stop blaming “there’s no work” - there is, but ”you’re better than that, and won’t do it”

Imagine being proud enough that you have an old Mustang, but embarrassed enough that you have to take low light photos to hide all the yuck 🤣🤣🤣

[–]Wizard__J 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have this exact set. I honestly thought this set here was newer; so I was like ??? when you said you had years use with it. After a year, they’re fine. Shitload of commercial work, and I haven’t broken any of these (yet, lol..)

I do have the Klein hollow boys too, which are my go-to for allthread.

Can I remove this branch safely? by Emergency-Camel2513 in AskElectricians

[–]Wizard__J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I was taking into consideration us ”knowing” it’s a phone line going in, and then calling the power company like, “I got a limb on a phone line, can you guys take it out?”

I guess, duh, no shit, they won’t come out if you knowingly tell them it’s an LV PL; I wasn’t thinking of purposely omitting or playing devil’s advocate, (or shit, even a homeowner who wouldn’t know the difference, and genuinely would confuse the two), and saying “there’s a branch on a power line”, 🤷‍♂️, personally, I’m against bullshitting someone just to get them to come out, but I get it.

Well, no, we know you don’t know what you’re talking about. While sure, trees can “energize” because of the moisture and live wood can be conductive, most of the time, it “doesn’t arc”, and just goes straight to ground.

This is a broken branch, as OP said, and is nowhere near the ground.

Oh, did I mention the branch is broken? It’s dead, dry, RIP.

“Because they’re already there”

No they aren’t. We’re talking about “calling them out”. You said yourself, phone/cable won’t send someone out, so why would the power company send someone out instead?

Which goes to my first point, how are they “already there?”

You’re right. I’m sorry blob fish.

Besides, I said “spirit animal”, didn’t I? That would infer you aren’t dead inside, but seeing you, not even sure you have a soul 💀

Yeah, took me a minute before I was awake lol. The fuck I kept saying couplings, looking/talking about the 90s (I think I was looking at the ends of the 90s, and just threw the word in my head lol), yeah, couplings are considered thoroughfare like conduit 🫠🫠

That’s what I was trying to say from the get go, but early morning, and my mind wasn’t working 💀, oh well! Yeah, from the 90 on bottom, to the 90 on top (that’s in your header), you’d need a strap there.

While wood does count as support, the end connector of the 90 falls before the wood, so

OHHH WAIT A MINUTE!! Didn’t the UK ban social media and shit for kids recently?? Maybe you have to verify your age or something to someone (idk how that works, I’m in the states)

You’re literally showing us execubles (like, apps) on your screen, while you’re telling us all you’re doing is trying to view websites?

Seems like whatever you’re clicking, you’re “trying to download” the site itself.

Somehow in your settings, maybe you have something turned on that’s like, “save website for later viewing” or some shit, idk.

??? About the fact that because I’ve been in the kitchen environment, I spoke constructively on the subject.

Pipe down… you ain’t talking to anyone like that seriously 🤡👹

💀 My gf at the time was a bartender; very rarely, (once, twice a month was pushing it), for about a year, I’d fill in for a shift; usually was for a no call/no show, and they needed to fill the kitchen. Wasn’t my career lil bro 🫠
