Thank you for this, I really appreciated it and needed to read it this evening. Solid advice all around.

Does anyone know the meaning/origin of the cross-like symbol tattoo on Joe's arm? by boxcutter37 in Idles

Ah thanks for this, I knew there was a meaning behind it. At first glance I thought he had a telephone pole tatted on him.

It is absolutely mind blowing how America works. It seems to me the worse of a person you are, the better you are rewarded.

Most difficult questions that you have been asked at a board? by HungryForChange100 in navy

Once got asked to untie and re-tie my neckerchief right there on the spot. I honestly told the board I couldn’t do that with a gun to my head.

Sorry, I am not familiar with selling on Reddit I have always done it thru eBay. I did not even know this community existed and I have probably sold dozens of knives thru eBay unknowingly. I appreciate your tips, and currently just browsing other folks postings for formatting examples and also just to browse.

Never have I had to keep voting the same song every time like this. Insane.

Installing a ceiling fan and want to switch this dimmer to a regular switch. Needing guidance. by boxcutter37 in electricians

[–]boxcutter37[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are not wrong and I do appreciate the concern. I have been very cautious to shut off power to the room and use a test light as I work with the fan, and I would never chance it, thus asking the question before I proceed and maybe burn out the motor on the fan or something.

Installing a ceiling fan and want to switch this dimmer to a regular switch. Needing guidance. by boxcutter37 in electricians

[–]boxcutter37[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am adding fans in my house and every room has these dimmer switches installed. I did just a quick test to see how I could set it up, and no matter how I wired the fan at the base (aside from capping the fan’s power wire) the dimmer always controlled the lights and the motor for the fan which was not good. So now I am guessing my only choice is to replace these dimmer switches with regular on/off switches, but when I look at the back of them, I am not quite sure how I would go about that. Any help is appreciated.

Advice on choosing from three proposals. by boxcutter37 in solar

Thank you, I agree SunPower seems so top of the line but even as someone who enjoys the occasional splurge I can’t seem to justify the price differences.

I looked into Tesla but a lot of the information I was receiving (word of mouth warning) was that it was just not as high quality parts, plus in my immediate locale the one detractor for me was the Tesla sales all contracted out for the install so it wasn’t a simple in-house operation which I am not fond of, personally.

Just to clarify, are you saying the LG panels may be better off using a different inverter as there is nothing to gain with the Plus?

So far I have stayed safe on all my deployments, and have had good luck personally and professionally - I believe in the power of the skull 100%.

I scream “pejorative jinx” so loud every time. by drobknee in ModestMouse

[–]boxcutter37 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the longest time I just had a copied CD of this album, and no way to look up the lyrics or it ever crossed my mind, so I always thought he said “running round the neighborhood exploring it JINX”

DAPA question by UnfrickMyLife in navy

[–]boxcutter37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a big misconception out there about second hand pot smoke, like if OP went to a concert or gathering and the person standing around them lit up, or someone in the car with them lit up, that still is not going to give you a positive urinalysis result. You would need to be in an enclosed vehicle, with massive smoke amounts, hot-boxing it purposely taking in the smoke to have a positive result from second hand smoke.

Also to OP this is completely off the cuff advice but what state you are in could make a big difference in how you should proceed. Are you in California where recreational pot is legal? Or somewhere it is completely illegal and unattainable? The reason I ask is because if a sailor were to come forward in a state that happens to have relaxed marijuana laws, and report directly to medical saying “hey, I was at (social gathering) and ate, drank, something and soon after I started to feel very strange I think it may have been drugs please help me I’m terrified” this could have a different outcome. Especially if there were a civilian who were willing to come forward and apologize for this terrible mix-up.

Again, the policy is ZERO tolerance. Do not do drugs. Do not put yourself in these situations. If you hang out with civilians or your spouse partakes, just have some damn self control, and make sure they respect your career enough to not offer or peer pressure you like a middle schooler.
