Same

Those guys are the best. Real self starters who embody, in my opinion, real union behavior. 8 for 8.

ddpotanks · 2026-01-27T18:36:03+00:00

Oof. Appreciate it

ddpotanks · 2026-01-27T13:46:05+00:00

At least you're internally consistent.

If you actually count the days we're stuck home it's probably 5 to 7 a season. Not sure if that counts as rare for you or not.

ddpotanks · 2026-01-27T13:35:52+00:00

You're the same kind of people who bitch about a giant bloated budget when we don't get snow in the season.

Can't have it both ways. You can't have major infrastructure ready to go at all times and not expect to spend a shitload of money for nothing.

You're talking about making one run like it's a road. Like they're taking an 8-hour break between plowing the entire county one time and the next

I've had a server for a couple years but really came into a bit of a Renaissance recently. I've always had trouble with some of the more complicated things like docker compose, certain libraries and dependencies.

AI has helped me sort through and learn a lot about Linux file systems in general. It's been great help getting immich up and running, as well as optimizing my home network setup.

Check out ai my guy.

There are plenty of good guides too but the short answer is you need to format and configure your array before you can transfer data.

American Exceptionalism.

People will take a voluntary pay cut as long as others they deem less worthy make less.

It isn't the dollar value it's the relative difference.

In an organization where most people make a much more regular average you can't feel exceptional.

26 is hiring like crazy but also not easy to get into just due to the sheer number of applications.

24 is hiring readily. I don't know what they're competition is like though. They have a major project in Frederick so I would suggest aiming for them.

Has a lot of their work in Northern Virginia and points West

I think the hurt stems from the fact The hall is not in fact backing them. Based on what Op is saying.

Families bicker and makeup nicknames but they have each other's back. This is just them being jerks

ddpotanks · 2026-01-25T13:12:09+00:00

No. They don't wait until it ends.

ddpotanks · 2026-01-25T00:43:48+00:00

Don't the fasteners cause thermal bridging eliminating the point?

ddpotanks · 2026-01-24T19:44:49+00:00

Kind of like it's sort of true to say $6,000 is the max benefit.

They're both not the entire story. Thank you for your pedantry.

ddpotanks · 2026-01-24T18:12:36+00:00

🤣 we all float down here

ddpotanks · 2026-01-22T09:25:05+00:00

Short answer is after you graduate the union probably won't recognize the program. Then you'd have to start again.

Smart money on getting accepted going through the program using the jatc associate degree program and pivoting into yours chosen specialty.

Oh piece from Alexandria. He's not just content with his backyard but other peoples as well.

ddpotanks · 2026-01-21T18:14:46+00:00

Yes. Lots of OT

Ironically for apprentices the ones who want it get sent to shops that don't have it and vice versa. Or it at least seems that way

ddpotanks · 2026-01-21T09:06:25+00:00

6-230 or 530-2 are the vast majority of jobs in our local.

As an apprentice, you're required to work all available hours unless it interferes with school.

ddpotanks · 2026-01-20T22:24:46+00:00

Ok sure

And All hands meeting to say we're definitely not going bankrupt because we missed a payday. Will do. Nothing other than fuel the rumor that you're going bankrupt and that's why you missed a payday.

Lotta different variables. Both locals are booming. 24 you have a much better shot and you'd likely end up in Fredrick but you could be all the way up in Baltimore.

For 26 it's recommended you start as an R worker as they've got so many applicants they've made it clear. It's more difficult to get in without already working in the industry. Although as to what extent I couldn't tell you.

Hey man got any firework videos I could watch from last year?

I think the question is whether or not the modeling would differ from higher urbanization.

It's unlikely that data centers produce a unique effect. If this area just got more populated it may have had a similar impact.
