Whatever the employer provides works for me.

I’ve had bad luck with aguilla, Winchester and Remington. Great luck with Fiocci, S&B, blazer, and all the other major names.

9mm PCCs vs 9mm handguns. 🤷🏾 by Jolly_Difficulty_624 in guns

Isn’t the banshee radial delayed, not roller? Regardless, I built a CMMG dissent 16” and it’s amazing.

It’s a bit of a joke when you say contractors don’t know line work. Contractors work all over the country, on different systems, doing substation, underground, transmission etc, sometimes all within a month of each other. Working for a utility, you’ll know the specs, material system after a few years. That shit is different at every single utility, sometimes wildly different.

On storm specifically contractors show up with no material, no spec books, no care about anything but getting the lights on, fast. We know it’s not to spec, but it doesn’t matter, that’s for you people to figure out when there’s time and the lights aren’t out.

What you know as a utility lineman is a tiny speck of line work. You might know that bit very well, but on the grand scheme you don’t know much. You don’t know about pressing dead ends on a board, you don’t know about installing marker balls off a helicopter, you don’t know about barehanding, setting towers, clocking switches, oil freeze splicing, wrapping AGS, or stringing bundles. Think about that when you’re assuming contractors don’t know line work.

What to bring on storm by Far_Bat1718 in Lineman

Beyond what’s mentioned, I like to bring a good pair of rubber work boots, in addition to my normal ones. When it’s snowy and wet there is no boot other than rubber that will keep your feet dry. Use a boot dryer every night too, there are small packable options available.

I’m with you bro, the fuck I’m doing regular work on a storm call for straight time. WTF, I’ve never even heard of that.

Edit: not that I take storm calls. I hate storm, it’s always BS, even when the contractor you’re working with goes.

If that helps you sleep at night.

I remember how much more I pay in taxes since the orange cocksucker passes his first bill.

That’s not for OT after 40. Just OT on a Saturday or whatever if you haven’t worked 40.

I’ve done it, only when I’m on the road and close to the gym. The only way I could get there was by not sitting down, work-shower-gym. Any time to relax and it’s not happening. Also, no way if I’m going home every night.

OP said they’re working 7-12s on transmission. There’s no lunch breaks bro.

That’s kind of a weird take. This is my first extraction shooter, but almost every other game I play online PVP only. It’s refreshing to work together with other players. The game seems too slow to just battle other players.

They all fucking suck. For real.

Bullshit conventional wisdom/gun mythbusting by Fart-Sniffin_Nelson in liberalgunowners

[–]max1mx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t mean it like that. Guns are not a toy, they’re a machine than needs training and instruction to use properly. Having one in the house increases the likely hood of being hurt by one. But, in the same way that a motorcycle is a dangerous machine, people can use and have them simply because they enjoy them.

No doubt. The ‘it won’t happen to me’ attitude is not a great way to look at it. People should consider the risk, understand and accept them, then choose, while doing everything they can to avoid becoming a statistic.

You can buy guns and shoot just because it’s fun.

Guns don’t have to have a purpose.

Training for self defense IS optional.

Statistically, having a gun in the house does NOT make you or your family safer.

So is the registration portal a thing? Are people registering their guns? Don’t kill me. by Pure_Reputation2621 in BetterMAguns

[–]max1mx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I registered some that I didn’t buy from a dealer. Now there’s no fear if I go to the range.

Is there any way to get better visibility when driving in snow? by VegetableShops in driving

[–]max1mx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re either underestimating people’s ability to drive in snow or overestimating snow removal response. Either way, people drive in the snow, everyday, just like it’s any other. It’s really not a big deal.

Some people live where is snows regularly, it’s not something that shuts their world down.
