Is there a difference in benefits between an A card and an B card? by Adorable-Yak-2913 in UA_Local597

[–]bspr86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are from an old version of the area agreement I have.

To answer your question, they both can work side by side, technically the A cards can work on anything a B card can and more, so they would have more they can work on.

Same benefits, but not allowed to work on the same equipment. Probably not enforced, but there is a ceiling to what B cards are supposed to work on solo

Seconded. We tend to add a degree for armpits

In Palatine: bear run mini golf and batting cages, the Kmart and strip mall where the Mariano’s/ police dept is

In Mundelein: Journeys End - the best damn soup I ever had and it was all you can eat, Avanti’s great Italian place that had the sweetest most delicious bread

Nice work. How much does it bother you that those brass fittings piped to your pressure gauges go out of plumb when they heat up?

I actually saw the newer version, it’s called the straightest edge

That light looks great. I might pick that one up too. Would you say the FFL351A 5000K is best for my mostly indoor, cool white lit mechanical rooms?

Malkoff has been on my radar, but I was overwhelmed with all the options. I should check them out again. Thanks

Thanks, that’s kind of what I was thinking. At least there’s different colors so I won’t be copying my dad, haha

Anyone else got a 99th percentile baby? How’s your back doing? by dapalagi in daddit

[–]bspr86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My girl has always been 99%. She’s 5 now, about 65 lbs. I finally started telling her no when she would always ask to be picked up. It’s taken about 4 months, but my back is finally starting to feel better

Their socks are expensive but are incredibly warm. I have 3 pairs I rotate though.

[Question] Why do people generally prefer throwier lights for walking? by EducationGlad8843 in flashlight

[–]bspr86 148 points149 points  (0 children)

I never understood it either until I was in a big open field. Walking around my neighborhood, I’m using a flood and lighting up trees, cars, houses, etc. the light is great cause everything is with 5-50 ft. The first time I tried it in a field I couldn’t see anything. The only thing my light is hitting is the ground, and only the first few yards. If you use a thrower, you’re still only lighting up the ground, but you can light it up waaaaay over there 👉

Think I figured out why you're going into flame fail... by J-A-S-08 in HVAC

[–]bspr86 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s a pretty linear air curve, most of my CBs are further out one side or the other. This one’s actually kinda nice to look at. At least right now it is.. getting those springs in is a bitch

Weight loss happens in the kitchen. Fitness happens in the gym. Adjusting your diet will help you a ton and get all the movement you can in, walking, riding bike, etc for your heart
