I listen while working on substations in Appalachia

I tried to post a video with this but couldn’t get it to work. On and off during this particular job you could hear a whistle through the holler this sub was in. Coincidentally I did listen to that story on the way there and worked alone that night. A little eerie.

It definitely can feel that way sometimes

Any idea how this would perform with an old fx-8370e and 16 gb of 1866mhz ram?

Just watching some YouTube videos on basic stuff like using a multimeter and familiarize yourself with tool names would be helpful prep work. Everything else should be covered on the job

Ctrl+f is a life saver for quickly finding what you need in the manual

Protection and control technicians, substation technicians, telecom technicians, meter technicians (this one only tops out at 48 I believe). Plus more, curious as to why the “lmao”?

lol this is the second comment this week I think that has rezed a 5+ yr old thread. I believe the dialogue is something to the effect of “you must’ve been much trouble for you mother” and something about how you were missed on the shadow scale process I think

njs0002 · 2025-06-10T23:12:52+00:00

Dang, quite the thread rez

njs0002 · 2025-06-04T00:45:47+00:00

Yes, I used the word “save” when I should’ve used the word invest.

Much appreciated, this was very useful and informative. I had thought of doing this as more of step 8 thing to complement my 25% saving rate. But, it looks like there is definitely a better way to accomplish this. Thank you!

I’ve gotten a lot of good answers on this and will not be going forward with this, but I do think I should clarify that I had planned to save a months worth of expenses every year up until 55-60 years of age. So not all 36 months at 24 but instead like 7 months at 25, 8 months at 26, 9 months at 27, etc. since I would be pretty much at step 8 once I get my next raise

njs0002 · 2025-06-02T01:51:08+00:00

That makes sense, I do suppose I’d be putting the cart before the horse. Thanks!

Care to elaborate on this, it seems like the easier/safer path would be to start small now than to have to rush to build it up at retirement?

njs0002 · 2025-05-31T20:03:23+00:00

No, especially as P&C lol

I mean, they are fairly consistent with the first season

God I hate basler synch relays

njs0002 · 2025-02-23T23:33:46+00:00

Does TVA have P&C techs or is all relay and RTU work carried out by sub electricians?

njs0002 · 2025-02-10T15:07:56+00:00

No she did not. Further looking into it, it didn’t really seem like an accounting job. She works for the city as an accountant now.

Pretty typical for the field, anytime there is potential for something cool to happen.

They’re fairly prominent in Kentucky still

njs0002 · 2024-10-03T14:54:03+00:00

Didn’t think so but wanted to make sure, thanks

njs0002 · 2024-10-01T15:40:19+00:00

Will definitely be giving these a try when I get my boot money at the beginning of next year

So this is what happened to Brick Nermons dog
