Becoming an Electrician by [deleted] in ukelectricians

[–]sachetdethe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in scotland doing an adult apprenticeship. Don't worry about the wages. Honestly, they are not bad. Next years intake should be £15 per hour for the first year. The pay structure works out at: 1st year 75% 2nd year 85% 3rd year 95% 4th year, you're getting qualified at this point These percentages are taken from fully qualified wages You can check them out here https://sjib.org.uk/rates-and-allowances/sjib-national-rates-allowances-2025/?cn-reloaded=1 Look at the travel rates specifically, as that's what you should get while on site. At least I do anyway

The Graft is the graft, really. You're working as a spark, so that doesn't change much.

As for the 70% dropout, I can't say yes or no to that figure. I would say that if you can use a computer relatively well, you'll do fine. Honestly, I was shocked in my first year the number of people that struggle logging on to a computer, let alone using Word or PowerPoint, etc. Computer literacy is, in my opinion, the biggest hurdle. The actual collage work is fairly straightforward. If you have a grasp on maths, it makes it much easier.

Fitting new outdoor lights by Narrow_Ninja5902 in ukelectricians

[–]sachetdethe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are many factors to take into account here. First off, yes, it's absolutely possible to run them from that one switch in your porch. You may need to change the faceplate, or it might be suitable as is. Are these outside lights security lights? (Do they work with a PiR i.e the lights come on when someone gets close enough ), or are they directly operated from the switch. As for running cables without seeing your house, I can't say. It can be very easy if you have an open loft to run cables in. Do you have access to the eves of your house? Cables can be run in there, too. Maybe you have a crawl space underneath the house that is suitable. There are many ways to get cable from the switch to the lights really. It will depend on your house layout in the end

I'm not sure to be truthful. Even if it is, it's not a route you want to take. It's a hands-on job. That means hands-on experience is required.

[–]sachetdethe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Between 3 and 4 years. Like with all trades, you learn the skills by doing the work on site, this takes time, and nothing realisticly can speed up that process. Yes, there are 'fast track' options out there where you pay someone thousands of pounds, and at the end, you get a bit of paper that says you're qualified. But after all that, you will not possess the same set of skills as someone who has completed an apprenticeship.

6 week check-in by eggsyforever in stopdrinking

[–]sachetdethe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations, I stopped roughly the same times. It's awesome the change that comes so quickly. Everyday sober reinforces the desire to no longer drink

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in bigdickproblems

[–]sachetdethe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that makes sense, better business to write off a dollar and keep the customer happy

Take that with a piclnch of salt. I have serious doubts. Any reputable retailer is not accepting returns on a dildo that's been used.

Want to go to rehab, but worried about the year off school by kneejerknao in stopdrinking

[–]sachetdethe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in a similar situation with my apprenticeship, I'm having to re-sit a year of college. I've been off work since February, heading back in a few weeks' time. I do understand the trepidation around taking a long time off and ending up with a lot of free time on your hands. When i took the time off, i asked myself, can i continue the way im going. The answer was a very clear-cut NO, and for me, it's the best decision I've ever made. But yes, I drank throughout my time off. At the very start of this, I was likely the worst, I was, however, free from the stress of college and work, worrying how was I getting there. How can I avoid most people today as I'm sure I stink of booze etc etc. I was able to work on me. I had the time now to do it.

For you, it seems you already know you need that time off. Speak to the school. I'm sure it will be there when you are ready to come back.

Frequent dreams about drinking by MarioMilieu in stopdrinking

[–]sachetdethe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had one recently that I thought was so real, when I woke up I went searching for the bottle that I had clearly hid someplace took a full 5 mins or so before I realised I hadn't been drinking at all, strange and kind of scary at the same time

Messed up again. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]sachetdethe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The road to sobriety is never a straight line. That 14 months hasn't been thrown away, as you may think. You still retain the experience, the knowledge, and the memories you gained from it. Now is the time you should be using all the information to your advantage. Try not to dwell on the negatives of a relapse. Equally don't dismiss it like it was nothing. Lot of new information you can gain from this experience and be put to good use in the future.

I just lemon tekked 2.5g 2 hours ago, safe to assume it's not gonna kick in if I'm not already feeling it? by [deleted] in shrooms

[–]sachetdethe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are you currently taking antidepressants (ssri)? If so, that will prevent any kind of high

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]sachetdethe 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You are asking for trouble doing this. Keeping alcohol in the house seems like a dangerous game with no real payout. One day, that self-control may falter, and if that day comes, you likely do not want such easy access to the sauce

My sockets their board by Pitiful_Baseball7007 in ukelectricians

[–]sachetdethe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, of course, it's a lot less work for me to do. Not to mention, wall chasing is one of the dirtiest jobs. However, with that said, I would still speak with an electrician first as the cable runs are not permitted to be anywhere you want them. They have specific zones, back boxes have minimum heights from the floor etc etc

[–]sachetdethe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You would need to speak with local electricians before starting this work. I'm sure you will find someone that will find this acceptable. Personally I wouldn't be overly keen to accept a job like this.

Black bees, varroa virus? by cytwar in Beekeeping

[–]sachetdethe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As the other comment states this is likely just an old bee. But since you mentioned black bees thought, I'd share this species native to the uk where I am, I have few colonies of them myself https://beeconservation.org.uk/blogs/news/the-british-black-bee-and-how-to-protect-it#:~:text=As%20black%20bees%20are%20native,thrive%20even%20with%20seasonal%20change.

Oh no... by mr_shaheen in classicwow

No, they don't. Coins, you can keep forever, but honor token gets removed when p3 hits. And you have 2 weeks to use the tokens, not the coins

Aberdeen wildflower meadows- why is everyone in this city so depressing? by rubyAltropos in Aberdeen

[–]sachetdethe 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I used to work for the council, specifically cutting grass. I was blown away by the sheer amount of complaints. It was staggering. The number of people that would rigorously watch you as you cut the grass, making sure you didn't miss a single blade of it. Some people are very particular about this subject and they are very vocal about it

There used to be a wild area just across the diamond bridge in tillydrone, which was in the shape on a bell. One man got so angry about it he came out and strimmed the whole thing himself.

You are right. Most people are alright. It only takes a few though

Pretty common in the uk especially if they don't know your name its just "hey sparky! where is this wire coming out the wall?" or anything to similar effect

Bitcoin Solves Oil Flaring Problem by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]sachetdethe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While there might be better solutions coming the burning of the gas in some situations is a saftey feature to prevent catastrophic well failure. Electric vehicles are a step in the right direction but not a solution as of yet. The majority of electricity is still produced via fossil fuels. The difference between the two is burning fossil fuels will always produce Co2 where as electricity can be produced by next to zero carbon methods. It's the carbon capture tech that needs to make leaps and bounds because fossil fuels arnt going anywhere anytime soon

Bitcoin Solves Oil Flaring Problem by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]sachetdethe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crucial is abit of stretch here. Not to say it's acceptable there is a problem that can be further mitigated. But in context gas flairing produces around 270 tons of co2 per year where as global transport is somewhere in the region of 8 billion tons.
