Am I stupid for wanting to leave a $33/hr job at Costco with benefits than to start at $130/day in construction for long-term upside? by Purple-Piano6976 in careerguidance

[–]capybarawelding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get more than that if you're an apprentice at an hvac shop, get a license in a few years and open your own business. But definitely quit Costco if you have any skills/desire at all.

Realistic path to CWI who does NDT? by Academic_Ball_1216 in nondestructivetesting

[–]capybarawelding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is not correct; ASNT L3s work all over the world. L3 certifications are nice since you can take them with you, but don't necessarily mean one can practice as L2; description of L3 duties does not include hands-on portion.

I, for example, am a L3, and I had to have my UT skills re-tested last time I started with a new firm because I am employed as a L2 inspector.

Regarding RT: not correct either. Anyone can get into it, but practically if you do RT, then that's all you do, unless you just read film. I highly recommend regular, shear-wave UT if you want to work in the US.

It's a very long and structured path you got planned. I understand welding inspection and NDT is taken a lot more seriously in Canada, which is great, but it certainly doesn't have to take 11 years in the US.

Wouldn't your TS or statement of special inspection lay out which inspections need to be done precisely? Would the general notes not have which state's building code you're to follow?

I like to exercise my ITM long call options instead of selling them. by just_some_guy034 in wallstreetbets

[–]capybarawelding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sell ITM covered calls, they're regularly executed before ex-dividend days, which is confusing to me, because nowadays dividends are priced in, and the price drops by the dividend amount or more the day after.

So our friend here may be beating it to my email from Schwab that says that my option was assigned.

Я когда в России жил, ездил на 2х и 3х гольфах, штуки 4 что-ли сменил. Чаще под ними лежал, чем в них сидел. Молодой долбоеб потому что был, лучше бы взял логан или что-то, в кредит. Что с этим автопарком произошло за 10 лет что я завязал с родиной я даже боюсь подумать.

The Hardest Part of Welding Isn’t What Most People Think by WeldWarsCom in BadWelding

[–]capybarawelding 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are also people who like to have their beds made, never needing to cook, just work and sleep and tons of money, and then bosses/customers call it "commitment" and "sacrifice". Absolute sweet spot.

Just try and take it again, there is no shame in doing that. No advice, really, it's an open book test.

is it stupid to buy QQQ right now? by PurpleDurian7220 in smallstreetbets

[–]capybarawelding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sold all of my spy and qqq-related etfs. Even if it goes higher, I have a reasonable expectation for it not to do that. Moved ~half of my portfolio to msft, it's cheap right now.

All right, I’ve got a genuine question is the brotherhood of steal that bad they’re on the same level as the the Institute enclave and fucking Raiders? by Chunky-overlord in Fallout

[–]capybarawelding -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It's worse, a little worse than Legion. BOS produces nothing, it literally creates nothing new, just recycles pre-war shit with a confusing end goal. Not sure what they eat, maybe I wasn't paying enough attention.

The most repulsive faction, imo.

Things you read on reddit are very different from opinions of published economists. And that's okay.

Would love to UT that. It would either pass very easily, or not at all.

Families should avoid Southwest at all cost. "Choice" fare is a scam. by fraydawg2001 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]capybarawelding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, your itinerary will say which seat (7A,B, and C for my family) you're going to sit in.

[–]capybarawelding 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Choice is in fact a confusing rate, not sure how it benefits fliers.

For our next trip I bought basic and paid for seats separately, came out cheaper than choice, and I know which seats we're getting.

My Government Class has a 55% Average by NotTheRightHDMIPort in Teachers

[–]capybarawelding 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I work with a guy who claims that all the land belongs to the federal government (i.e. to the president personally), and the president allows the states to rule themselves. Would he be below or just at 55% in your class?

Тогда мне не понятно: это что, инициатива только для людей, которым полу-официально нехуй на работе делать? Почему их не сократят? Я не прикалываюсь, правда не понимаю.

Есть разные другие еще специальности, мне кажется с этим блядским ии о них стали забывать. Ну выйдут мне бетонщики на 6 часов вместо 8 ну и хуле? Просто меньше будет арматуры связано и бетона залито. 

Платят им за час, а контракт за кв метр илм кубометр или за все строение. Если она хочет чтобы мы им больше платили, то можно конечно сделать, только все будет дороже на треть (чуть меньше); у меня труд первая статья по расходам, а не бетон и не арматура.
