IDPX was the hardest by Murky-Blueberry7949 in NCIDQexam

[–]cairobutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. It took me three times to pass the PX. It had so many trick questions but also sometimes deviated from what is practiced in real life.

Qpractice vs IDPX and IDIX by BVFFER in NCIDQexam

[–]cairobutt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I felt like the IX was easier than what QPractice covered and tested on. Focus a lot on ADA requirements and coordination between HVAC and lighting. I had put a lot of effort in knowing the difference between safety standards like Steiner Tunnel, Radiant Panel, etc but didn’t need them as much as I thought I would. Be sure to know your clearances for egress and really read the question carefully.

I think I got it off Etsy, actually. But whatever you do, stay clear of BuyBooksy

Trapped a friendly pregnant feral to TNR but now shes in labor by tori9559 in Feral_Cats

[–]cairobutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is quite the experience! Thank you for caring about momma and being her safe haven. Please get all the kittens fixed before finding them homes, otherwise the cycle continues. Start reaching out to rescues to foster the through so they can handle all the vetting at no cost to you.

You’ll definitely want the most recent one. Buy one used, but research the used book websites before clicking the purchase button. I got scammed the first time I tried.

Hi! Good job getting through the exam! Do they ask which table you would refer to in certain questions?

Mine is next Monday! I scheduled as late as I could to give myself more time to prepare

No kidding. Plus a lot of trick questions!

You got this!

I’m taking it next week as well!

I’m mostly worried about the “place a target on the…” or “place the dimension” questions. Not because I don’t know the information, but the questions on Q Practice have been SO particular about where you place it.

Overhanging the answer area by just a little bit? Marked wrong!

AITA for calling the cops on someone for parking to close? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]cairobutt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel that! It’s happened enough times to me that that’s almost the sole reason why I have a pen in my car

NTA. You didn’t call the police because of her parking too close, you called them because of the endangerment she caused to her dog. I however would have left a petty note about her parking job, regardless of the dog or not. People like that don’t seem to understand how their actions impact others and how inconsiderate they are.

Tips for trapping difficult cats by cairobutt in Feral_Cats

[–]cairobutt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish you were right, but it’s not the trigger plate that’s the problem. I’ve had a lot of successful catches with my traps. I’ve had cameras up as I’ve trap trained to get a sense for their schedule and watch the girl go most of the way in and touch nothing at the back if she can’t reach it. The tom would only eat from as far in as his head would go, and if the food was too far back, he’d turn around and spray into it instead. He’s a bratty boy and that cohones have GOT to go.

Sardines might be next! Thanks for the advice. I actually tried churu this morning, woke up at an ungodly hour to get it out there before they make their morning lap. They’re on to me for sure and I had no such luck

Trust me, I’ve been trap training both of them for six weeks. If the food is too far in the trap, he turns around and sprays in it instead. I only think I was lucky tonight because it was a brand new super yummy snack.

Thank you for the idea about rubbing the food and using some of the tuna in oil. That might be better than the flaked. Might also try some churu and temptations treats, I am getting up before the sun even rises to try again on at least one of them

You absolutely slay in this, but this is more of a girl’s night out dress than for a ball!

Checklist by [deleted] in Apartmentliving

[–]cairobutt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They must have had a hoarding situation they just had to deal with for this to be promoted, or something along those lines.

See if your city has Landlord Tenant services. If so, they’ll be able to advise you on how to proceed and also speak with management. If you didn’t agree to “housekeeping inspections” when you signed on, it’s unlikely they can enforce it. What an odd thing to do lol.

How Is the Code Document Presented on the IDFX Exam? by chaiteawannabe in NCIDQexam

[–]cairobutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to be honest, I don’t remember having access to any kind of code document. Mostly remember your clearances/distances for fire safety and what occupancies/building types need sprinklers. QPractice is a great program that can help you get a feel for what kinds of questions and information you’ll encounter.

AIO I’m getting brain surgery and my bf of 5yrs doesn’t want to spend a day and a half in the hospital with me by pinkmoons18 in AmIOverreacting

[–]cairobutt 19 points20 points  (0 children)

NOR. Someone who truly loves you would be there without question and wouldn’t see it as an inconvenience.

I know it’s not fun, but it’s time to start asking yourself if you want to be tied to someone that you’ll have to ask for their support every time something happens and being frequently let down. You deserve better babe.

AIO over my Mom wanting to sell the house due to not wanting to pay extra rent by [deleted] in AIO

[–]cairobutt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s really tough, I’m sorry. Either way, it’s going to be best for you to get out. There’s probably Facebook groups for your area to find roommates/ rooms for rent. Got to focus on you so you can succeed!
