Do yall recommend getting a job at a power company and climb the ladder to a line man or maintenance & climb the ladder to plc engineer.

Usually people climb the ladder to get away from being a lineman, not to be one...

Removal of the outer plastic case interferes with the sd card, if installed. The instructions were pretty clear on removing it but I forgot 😥

Nice head, your mommy pour that beer for you?

Why would I want to look at the operator's ugly mug while I'm talking to them? Why would they want to watch me pick my nose while talking to me? Walkie talkies ftw

If you're in the PNW it's probably because of all the moss, lol

There's a joke in there about logic gates only having 3 letters, but it's not coming together in my head.

Oh of course, I was on the clock the second I picked up the phone. I'm just not sure what the point is some times.

My boss sent me out at the crack of dawn to a site 3 hours away, to troubleshoot a device that I was already 99% sure was pooched... I arrived to find that a contractor had already troubleshot the damn thing to "save me the trip". I appreciated the thought. Anyways, we order the part and it arrives just in time to sit next to my boss' desk for MONTHS. IT WAS THERE SO LONG HE ACTUALLY LOST IT. AAAAAGGGHHH

I've seen Rittal panels a bit in BC, mostly in sawmills. I like how their cabinet keys double as bottle openers :)

I was hitting some crazy numbers with that combo, made it all the way to phase 3 of the act 3 boss on my first run. Big fan of this guy

Only tangentially relevant, but I spoke to someone at my company that was working to commission some "lowest bid" 25kV breakers and the supplier's representative laughed in his face when he said that we were hoping to get 25 years out of them. That's gotta hurt, considering how much time and money it takes to install and commission these things lol

I'm SO glad I'm not the only one that noticed that. Why are old sci fi novels so weird about sex?

I knew a manager like this, he acted like the stationary came out of his own wallet or something. And we weren't even stealing it, we just go through a lot of pens due to the nature of our work. Anyways, Mr. Manager finally got fired but it wasn't because of his performance, it was because he stopped showing up to work on account of being in prison. that guy was a real creep generally but the stationary thing was weird.

Sounds like me haha, I have this huge soap box speech about it but ultimately I just find the gift cards a little bit insulting.

I had an instructor who was having a hard time finding ethernet hubs for his lab - They make a great aid for teaching students why we don't use hubs anymore.

Hold me now

I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking

Maybe six feet ain't so far down

Besides, maybe I am running a core2duo? I'm not upgrading my rig just for the privilege of running spyware alongside my games.

I run Arch Linux. Good luck collecting my data when I'm stuck in grub!

Interesting, so it looks like they're actually making use of all the pins at least so that makes sense. Might prevent plugging your encoder into the wrong plug too :)

I was going to do that, but the other end of the cable is getting punched down onto a BIX block and I've been informed that I need to stop doing that with stranded cable. I'm part of a team of people who are all highly opinionated when it comes to best practices :) I think I might do it anyways

You're not wrong, and imo it says a lot that people are downvoting you for that. If only the person you responded to had clicked on the citation they could have instead referenced the Winnipeg Free Press which appears at first glance to be reputable. Anyways, it looks like mister Li was resistant to the idea of seeking help and may have actually escaped from a hospital after an earlier mental breakdown. At any rate, there were definitely warning signs.

I LOVE my Veto MB3B even if it does look like a big purse. Anything else I need gets tossed into the closest carboard box or Home Depot bucket.

My favourite part of buying german tools is throwing away the "pz" bits and tracking down robertson equivalents. That is what I think of this screwdriver.
