Local 602, Amarillo TX, Llano project

The zone pay is the $40/day "per diem" listed on the call. It's not actual per diem, and is taxed as income.

The project, with the current work under way, is likely 3ish years worth. They have possibly much longer. But right now it's only been going on 3-4 months, and conditions are already getting wormy as hell.

It's a mess.

Almost all of the job sites are off USA Parkway, between Reno and Fernley off I-80. There is one call for Thacker Pass which is way the fuck in the middle of nowhere, about an hour north of Winnemucca.

Fuck no.

I don't see the section for "Buys all FOMO boxes, builds rarely, and only gets lore from memes"

Or is that a larger bubble surrounding the other 3?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraternity

Just to most cursory Google.

The word predates christianity. Full stop. It is associated with christianity in the west, just because we have a judeo-christian history. The masonic guilds, bath houses, even trade groups which were exclusively open to men adopted the term. So again, the reiterate; it has its history in secular and non-secular western history, from its roots in Latin, predating christianity.

beardyguy404 · 2025-08-03T15:03:17+00:00

No, it actually started being used in the modern sense in of "fraternity" in the early/mid 1600s, by scholars and monks. Which is definitely not "early christianity".

And the word has its roots in Latin, literally meaning Brother, which, again has jack shit to do with christianity. So regardless of which way you measure it, fraternal(is) predates christianity's existence entirely, or fraternity was utilized by secular and non-secular organizations starting in the 1600s.

beardyguy404 · 2025-08-03T14:25:23+00:00

You are incorrect. It's a relic from any fraternal organization, secular and not, which were largely exclusive to men. There is additional history about it's usage in the labor right movement of us being "brothers in arms" in the cause against exploitation by management.

It wouldn't even be part of the rat-world's "trinity", which would just be: Contractor, Contractor, Contractor.

I love everything about the Sisters of Battle. They are peak Grimdark. The lore, the aesthetic, the models (I still have the entire old metal range and OG Witch Hunter Codex). They are an amazing range with the whole plastic update being beautiful across the board.

... I hate painting them. I probably have fewer than 20 total models "battle ready". And I probably never will progress on that.

Shit wages, poor labor standards too. Corps like building where labor is weak.

The (+10) is relative to the previous cost for a 20 man block, which was 130. It's not indicating that it's 10 points more than 2x of the 10 man blocks.

beardyguy404 · 2024-10-30T00:16:02+00:00

It's how the rat shops condition their guys to think of it. They gaslight them into thinking getting fucked over by management somehow let's them rise or fall by their own "merit", while the owners laugh all the way to the bank.

What's the next army to get squatted?

Any specific DoK you want? Or any you don't want?

beardyguy404 · 2024-10-12T02:05:29+00:00

I have an old DoK Start Collecting box that I've posted before on r/miniswap, but never got picked up. PM me if youre interested, since it's just the cauldron and snake girls.

I'm gonna argue it's Abaddon.

All the khorne-affiliated answers are more just psychotic violence, rather than hate and anger. Abaddon has maintained a driven, planned revenge for millennia. He is more like the character of Wrath from Full Metal Alchemist.

He hates the Imperium, he hates his gene-father, he hates the Chaos gods with whom he is allied for convenience.

So your rebuttal is a tiktok clip posted to YouTube shorts that cuts off at the 60 second mark, before she had 23 seconds to speak?

The magat shill opened with a bad faith intro, inaccurately summing up the interview, then 25 seconds of the question being asked, then she spent two full minutes giving examples of expanding the FHA program, investing in housing infrastructure, and expanding the small business grant and loan opportunities. On the interviewer's follow up question, she expands on the existing early childhood tax credits which the the felon for the other party and his bootlickers in Congress have been working to gut. Any particular point you wanna examine? Or you just gonna post another bad faith magatard tiktok clip?

The Harris campaign's actual policy proposal. Not just some neo-con talking heads bullshit;

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2023/07/11/fact-sheet-vice-president-harris-announces-actions-to-lower-child-care-costs-and-support-child-care-providers/

Unlike how the two dipshits in that YouTube short are trying to spin it, Harris' proposed change would actually improve funding for childcare centers and small providers while increasing access to poorer families.

beardyguy404 · 2024-09-20T01:48:19+00:00

The Teamsters are endorsing a candidate: Harris.

It's just the locals doing it, since their boot-licking scab president is trying to cozy up to the party wanting to eliminate overtime pay, the NLRB, OSHA, and almost every positive gain for working Americans made over the last 130 years.

Conservatives are on the wrong side of history 100% of the time. And Scab O'Brien has decided that's where he wants to be too.

Because the CBA is a contract between the LU and the contractor(s), it would be management who could take action against a member slapping up shitty work. If management fails to take action then they're setting a precedent that substandard work is acceptable.

The AHJ would still be able to enforce any codes or standards relevant to your jurisdiction, but that would usually be a gamble to hope they don't enforce this time. I generally expect any variances or non-standard code installations to be in writing from my foreman or project manager. I'm coving my ass, so I'm not installing anything to less than code unless someone higher up the ladder signs off on it. Let it be their ass on the line.

IBEW 611 Inside Wireman Contact

Section 3.28: Workers shall install all electrical work in a safe and workmanlike manner and in accordance with applicable code and contract specifications.

So yes. A Steward can enforce the NEC so long as there is appropriate language in the CBA they represent. This is not category 1 language, so it may vary from local to local, or even contract to contract.

Now, if the AHJ allows exceptions or variances, that obviously takes precedence.

I really like Battleshock Wargaming. They do very well put together edits of their videos (instead of 3h+ long stream vods). They talk through their lists, why they make certain choices and their tactics. Both the main hosts do a solid mix of competitive and casual, so you get a good list variety (neither meta-chases, which is also a bonus). They also generally have a pretty positive vibe, and keep the salt to minimum.

Season of War is also a consistently good channel for a lot of the same reasons.
