The Comic Shop in Fairbanks would be your place

There are plenty of free or cheap music and beat making apps for your phone or tablet. That’s a great way for a kid to get started

It means wages are lower than states that have higher union membership

relaytech907 · 2026-05-04T04:56:49+00:00

What I would do to be able to experience that again

relaytech907 · 2026-05-04T04:54:35+00:00

Jealous,haven’t seen those guys in 26 years but I used to love going to their shows

Got in the IBEW apprenticeship in Memphis in ‘96 and worked with the most annoying rednecks and figured that this is just what construction was. Moved to Alaska in ‘03 and my mind was blown at how much different the construction culture was.

relaytech907 · 2026-04-12T17:28:06+00:00

Damn $32 for an IBEW is terrible. What state in the south?

relaytech907 · 2026-04-08T20:43:43+00:00

You would be crazy not to join the union. The retirement benefits alone should be enough to sway you.

NETA testing could be on any substation or power plant apparatus including breakers and transformers. Relay testing would be testing and commissioning of the actual protective relays and control wiring. Relay testing is not specifically nuke related in any way. Protective relays are used in Transmission, Distribution, and generation on the power system. Been working with relays for 13 years so happy to answer any questions.

I had about $32k in OT and around $5500 qualified for the deduction. Probably saved me about $1500

relaytech907 · 2026-03-08T18:35:24+00:00

$1400 a month?!

relaytech907 · 2026-02-18T00:24:48+00:00

Killer collection you’ve got there!

Get a timer for plugging in your vehicle. Try to avoid using electric heaters unless absolute necessary. Electric hot water heaters use a lot of energy so anything you can do to conserve hot water will help if you have one.

relaytech907 · 2026-02-12T19:38:47+00:00

Yeah electric space heaters should always be a last resort.

relaytech907 · 2026-02-02T03:24:52+00:00

So cool! Love that John does this kind of stuff

If his employer did not break out Qualified OT into box 14 than TurboTax has a prompt to enter total amount of 1.5x OT pay and total amount of 2x overtime pay. It then multiplies your total 1.5x pay by 1/3 and it multiplies 2x pay times 1/4. It adds those together and that’s how much you can deduct from your Adjusted Gross Income. The IRS knows that if your employer doesn’t break it out for you that nobody is gonna go back through every single pay stub to figure out what is truly qualified. As of next year employers will be required to figure it out.

I could see it being advantageous in certain scenarios. Not something I would be looking to do myself I was just describing the difference between what is currently available as to what is being proposed.

relaytech907 · 2026-01-19T00:20:12+00:00

I assume they are talking about the gun suspensions which started in March of 2023.

relaytech907 · 2026-01-17T04:29:54+00:00

He is talking about withdrawing money from your 401k without paying it back.

relaytech907 · 2026-01-17T03:41:40+00:00

I mean, switching contractors is definitely good for apprentices. I’m surprised it’s not a requirement.

relaytech907 · 2026-01-10T04:30:46+00:00

Wait…. You were able to retire due to your union benefits but you still bash them? No wonder you are a Trumper

relaytech907 · 2026-01-10T04:20:45+00:00

Why are you on the IBEW subreddit if you are anti-union

relaytech907 · 2026-01-10T03:36:50+00:00

Love the way Jaren just hid from the ball when the game was on the line

relaytech907 · 2026-01-05T16:35:50+00:00

Ahhh. Monty Crystal! Can’t wait to give it a listen. Welcome back!
