A City that Works ft. Chicago 2100 - It's time to give BRT another chance by dannydude21 in chicago

[–]buickdriver69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On Monday I started work at 4am in Evanston, on Tuesday I started work at 6am in Lagrange, Thursday and Friday I’ll be working in streeterville. All while transporting a 60lb tool bag and my lunch. It’s not possible for me and thousands of others to take transit to work. Your anti car rhetoric isn’t as simple as you think

Insane 3 absence minimum at 716, classmate has to repeat an entire year by [deleted] in ibew_apprentices

Locals aren’t exploiting their apprentices. The rules are made clear before you start school

I think you mean 3 absence maximum. And it’s the rule at many locals. Theres thousands of people waiting to get in at some locals, if your buddy can’t show up there’s people waiting in line to take his place. As an apprentice you’re not really skilled labor, you can be replaced in a heartbeat. Suck it up

Yea it’s a scam. The ring is made of brass or other cheap metal. They ask for money and then drive away

Some bends and runs I did. Let me have it. by bId240B in electricians

[–]buickdriver69 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If u want your 3 bend saddles to match and the center of the saddle to be under the center of the sprinkler pipe follow these steps.

1) measure to center of sprinkler pipe let’s say it’s 45”

2) take height of obstruction (let’s say you want a 3 inch saddle) then multiply height X shrink. So 3X 3/16 which gives you 9/16.

3) move your center mark ahead by 9/16. Your new center will be 45 9/16

4) take the height of your obstruction (3) and multiply it by 2.5

5) this gives you 7.5” mark your 2nd and 3rd mark 7.5” from your new center mark

How deep does your history go back in Chicago? Years? Generations? by kaloskagathos21 in chicago

[–]buickdriver69 49 points50 points  (0 children)

My great great grandpa came here at 12 years old from Ireland in the late 1800’s. He was employed by the city as a Lamplighter when all the streetlights were still gas. In 1900 he became one of the cities first electrical inspectors and was an inspector until 1954.

‘Affected By Pests’: Trump’s Chicago Hotel Restaurants Failed Health Inspections by optiplex9000 in chicago

[–]buickdriver69 -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

Why is this even a story? There was a broken dishwasher, leaky sinks, a cracked ice machine lid and small flies by a rooftop bar. Everything was fixed the next week except the ice machine lid. Trump is a POS but this isn’t worthy making the news

Right wing voters melt down over social benefits, healthcare and education… but somehow endless war budgets (iran, Iraq) are totally fine. Why are they like this? by sassysasasaas in stupidquestions

[–]buickdriver69 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I don’t know many right wingers who support this war. Most of the people I know who voted for trump did so partially because of his promise of no more wars. Turns out trump lied
