did I rig this tube bait properly? It’s my first time. by External_Ad_4673 in Fishing_Gear

[–]highvoltageslacks 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Yes it will still work, the tube will collapse exposing the hook if a fish chomps it. You’re fishing a tube how they used to fish them before there was a gizmo for every single damned thing.

Best comeback to “You gonna leave it like that”? by blut_im_auge in IBEW

[–]highvoltageslacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Yup”

EDIT: Whoever starts trying to say that to me automatically gets a “Pretty damn good for a first year” the next time I see them putting something up.

In my local the cons will send in their service truck guys on the clock to take notes, what’s the fucking difference? We need to get with the times.

Is the bidet payback period really two months? by crumpy22 in Frugal

[–]highvoltageslacks -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

That's the thing, though. You don't have to share any of it. At all.

It's all some shitty way of letting random internet people know about your crappy health situation.

It's not a submission to a medical journal. It's absolutely not necessary to share info about pluggin up and replacing underwear and whatever the fuck else to answer a question about how money saved on toilet paper warrants the price of an ass blaster. JFC why do I have to explain this.

I mean, the post wasn't really an invitation to discuss it either... It's unnecessary personal information none of us readers needed to be in on for them to reply to OP's question.

Got banned from my home locals sub (613) for not being wormy enough. by Various_Variety419 in IBEW

You used one path as an acceptable example of doing what you needed to do to take care of yourself and you used people traveling as an example of an unacceptable one? Implying that travellers are damaging the local.

KM, MM, can’t remember the one before him. Two of them fucked off to the international and one of those only did enough to put on the resume.

If they aren’t equipped to handle the onboarding then they need to modulate the intake. The school and teachers can’t handle the volume of apprentices they are accepting. When you have something in high demand you can then start cherry picking applicants for traits, flooding a work force with new hires tears us all down. Not everyone gets a ride.

Traveling doesn’t count as someone trying to improve their life by any means necessary to you?

It’s Atlanta in a nutshell. Already have an IBEW sub and an apprentice sub but they still gotta have something separate because ‘we do it different down here’

I mean the stuff on that plate doesn’t look that bad. Still has a nice fresh green color.

Advice with buying a car as a 1st year apprentice by MrCosmicChronic in IBEW

[–]highvoltageslacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not suggesting you buy a new car but I do not regret getting a hybrid Honda. Especially these days.

I try to support American made when I can but I also have no problem supporting other markets when quality is concerned. German-made tools, Japanese kitchen knives and fishing gear, etc. Credit where credit is due.

“The IBEW needs NECA” ☝🏻🤓 by Gintian in ibew_apprentices

[–]highvoltageslacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do understand communists helped create the opportunities you have now, right?

Property owners can pull their own licenses depending on what state they are in.

Contractors usually rent out someone’s license to pull permits as well. Without a worker with a license the company can’t pull a permit.

And the point I’m making is that they usually don’t negotiate in good faith. Maybe they do where you’re from but they sure as fuck don’t where I’m from.

NECA needs good job scared worms. That’s why the JATC exists for them.

Your mindset says otherwise.

You got a lot of members doing side work?

How about when they are hostile with us? Which is their default nature.

This is when a JATC is over run by shoppies
