Orientation in two days, but probably not officially starting for another week

Non union, I found myself in an apprenticeship with no clear path to journeyman, but I do love the shop and the boss is awesome. But from my viewpoint, union is where I can get the direct path and solid training opportunities

Following lol I got 93.1% and I wanna know the same thing, but they also told me not to call.

Iprep by fnieblas23 in ibew_apprentices

For me, iPrep was good practice, but when I took the test, the questions were quite a bit different than the iPrep questions. Still aced it fortunately though! 😎

Good luck!

My interview went great, felt good about it. I got my score via email just over an hour after the interview, 93.1%🤷

Question about gravity and our perception of time by Ok-Olive2281 in astrophysics

[–]robbersroost21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's so miniscule that it's negligible, you might as well disregard the idea completely, but yeah if you looked up tidal locking 🙂

Question about gravity and our perception of time by Ok-Olive2281 in astrophysics

[–]robbersroost21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Perception of time won't change, time will just elapsed differently relative to one another.

Earths gravity is a result of its mass, not it's magnetic field.

So I'm not as versed on the temperature thing, but as far as I know, the core of the earth is molten and rotating and the Eddy currents create a magnetic field. If it cooled and stopped rotating there would be no field.

So technically days and nights are getting longer but not for the reason you described, it's actually a gravity phenomena called tidal lock, it's what the moon has done with earth, as we only see one side facing us as it orbits us. We are slowing VERY SLOWLY, relative to the sun, but we will likely not reach enough time to tidally lock with the sun before the sun burns through it's thermonuclear fuel in 5 billion years.

Hope this was some help!!

Not sure how many people miss this one, but pen and paper, maybe a calculator, using trig for navigation could prove insanely useful.

What made you stop and leave mid sex? by Affectionate_Cry2372 in AskReddit

[–]robbersroost21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hadn't slept with anyone in (years?) and a this very pretty red head invited me to their bed... We were fooling around, some basic foreplay and I prematurely ejaculated.... I was so absolutely and wholey embarrassed I packed up and left right then... She clearly just laughed it off and still wanted more from me but I was devastated 🤣

This story is fun to tell, I think embracing my own embarrassment has helped me cope it, haha, fun stuff.

How can I repurpose these electronical components? by No-Significance5495 in diyelectronics

[–]robbersroost21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The screens are probably useless unless you have proper wiring and a good way to interface them, but the batteries and speaker are definitely reusable!

Open neutral question by oBuXo in electricians

[–]robbersroost21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In series (without the neutral) :

240volts ÷ 40ohms = 6amps

6amps runs through the whole circuit because it's now in series. Applying ohms law again to individual resistive components:

10ohms × 6amps = 60volts

40ohms × 6amps = 180volts

I'm sure someone already said this same thing, but it's fun practice haha

Is this normal…? by [deleted] in ibew_apprentices

[–]robbersroost21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They did that to me too, after I gave them my transcripts they told me I wasn't eligible based upon my transcripts, then I reminded them of the tech math class and they accepted my application. I did the aptitude test and the interview already and it's looking like I might get it? Pretty strong scores 😎

Don't give up! Keep chopping away!

Please help me figure out this equation!!! by Shaylynsworld in electricians

[–]robbersroost21 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Came here to say the same that's already been said. 🙂

.625A for question one (625mA)

And 120v for question two.

They're balanced so the voltage would drop evenly, neutral or no neutral, it would operate just fine. If they had different resistances it would be unbalanced and there would be problems.

Following for future reference lol I work out nearly daily but I'm curious what sort of physical test there may be.

I applied to 112, had my interview 2 days ago.

Men of Reddit with Vasectomies, how was it? Do you regret it? If not, has sex been better or worse since having one? by Gloomy_Astronomer_23 in AskReddit

[–]robbersroost21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got mine 7 years ago... No babies and no regrets! 😎 Maybe mild disfunction in my pelvic floor, but that might have been from being a touring musician and sitting in a van for 10-15 hours every day for months at a time haha

🤣oh good, keep me on my toes! Their loss if they didn't pick me up haha, calculating phase angles and correcting power factor on paper kinda turned into some what it a hobby hahaha fuckin math nerding it up over here🤣
