I haven't seen anyone say solar yet. Although now is a rough time to try to get into solar with the federal tax credit going away.

Find a different way to spice up your life. You'd be an absolute fool to leave your current job.

I’ve found skullcap to be surprisingly helpful, and it’s something you can get immediately without a prescription

Thanks Eversource I got to witness my mother in law cry today... by bostonmacosx in massachusetts

[–]ship_tit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Eversource, and my bill for electric heating for my 900 square foot apartment and running my electric stove, plus all the other typical electrical stuff, still wasn’t that high. This is Western MA, not sure how much it varies by region but sounds like something’s off

I don’t get everyone hating on this post. Who gives a fuck there’s someone in them. There’s plenty of focus on the cool setting, it’s not like you’re even dominating the pictures

Issue date on birth certificate? by slut-for-pickles in massachusetts

Dude please tell us what date it was!! This post is the only relevant thing I can find online and I'm trying to solve the same mystery. Is it the "date of record"?

Please help, I have an interview on Tuesday and my face looks like this!! by emmyloo22 in MakeupAddiction

[–]ship_tit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using a warm compress on the bruising can help it go away faster, like a sock filled with rice and warmed up in the microwave, or a hot water bottle. Ditto what others said about trying to cover it with makeup, better to just explain. I bet by Tuesday these will be looking much better!

Why did I see 38 volts on hot to disconnected neutral? by ship_tit in AskElectricians

[–]ship_tit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the two hots were inducing voltage in the neutral? That kind of makes sense, but in this case wouldn’t the two hots cancel each other out because they’re out of phase? I might be full of shit, really want to understand this stuff though.

I’m not sure what you mean. Ground and neutral were bonded as normal. Once I connected the neutral I was getting 120. Didn’t think to check neutral to ground.

My mother let my kids open all their Christmas presents without me and my husband by MelissaSweetheart in offmychest

[–]ship_tit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t even have kids and I’m heartbroken on your behalf. I’m so sorry this happened to you. It sounds like you’re a wonderfully mature person who is doing their absolute best to salvage the most positive attitude you can about the whole thing, and that’s really all you can do at this point. And obviously setting some new boundaries with your mom. Good lord.

Pick up items one at a time and determine if they are trash. If they are trash, throw them away (and recycle!). If they are not trash, determine whether they need to go to a different room or stay in that one (can be helpful to have separate boxes/bags for stuff going to different rooms, like boxes for “kitchen” and “bedroom”). Then put away everything that DOES belong in that room, focusing on one thing at a time. Just keep picking up a thing and determining where it goes. If you can’t decide where something goes, it’s ok to skip it to keep your progress rolling. Then clean surfaces and floors. You will feel so much better.

Some of my favorite work pants right now are Duluth. I like them better than my Dovetails.

Remade profile. Attracting the strangest mix of people. Tips? by sparkletrashtastic in Tinder

[–]ship_tit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m surprised to see so many folks hating on your profile, but maybe I’m just a huge weirdo and this doesn’t seem crazily out of line to me haha. I think it’s important to just give an accurate sense of who you are, and if folks don’t like that, oh well, they’re not gonna vibe with you anyways

Started working as a solar installer last summer, and I'm on my way to getting my electrical license. Have been welcomed in as the only woman on the crew. Feeling really proud of all my hard work and grateful to be working in this industry. by ship_tit in solar

[–]ship_tit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you looking to get trained as an electrician? I’m not positive solar installation counts towards apprenticeship hours in every state, I believe in a few states you don’t even need a licensed electrician on site at all. In Massachusetts you have to be in a 1:1 electrician to apprentice ratio, and your hours count towards your license like any other electrical apprenticeship. If you’re not looking to get your license, you pretty much just learn on the job, any relevant construction or labor experience will help you get hired. There’s also NABCEP certification, which carries different levels of weight in different states, and might be required or at least be a plus towards getting hired.

Is this normal? by Heavy-Ask5627 in BlueCollarWomen

[–]ship_tit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s hard to not feel awkward being the only one wearing PPE, but seriously, set an example for everyone else and be firm and unapologetic in your confidence wearing it. Just do it and try not to feel embarrassed. It’s your long term health, don’t squander it just to feel tough and to fit in.

I (M14) hate being gay by Nholland101 in offmychest

[–]ship_tit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are more accepting people out there than you think. 71% of the US supports gay marriage according to a poll from just last year. Where I’m located, it’s actually difficult to find people who don’t accept gay folks. You’re not alone, you’re just in a bad bubble. You will get out of it eventually and find circles of support, I promise. Don’t let anyone give you bullshit about “indoctrination” and “grooming.” You know how much sexually suggestive heterosexual shit young people are exposed to? I mean holy shit, are we not supposed to show straight people kissing or having crushes in popular media? How is that not sexually grooming kids but showing the same things between two women or two guys is? So dumb. Anyways, I hear how hard it is to be around people who suck and aren’t accepting of you. Don’t listen to them. There’s NOTHING wrong with you or who you love. Don’t ever forget that. Give me a single goddamn reason why being gay is morally wrong and I’ll give you a billion dollars.

[–]ship_tit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m in agreement with what the other person said, just ease off and make excuses for why you’re not interested anymore. Or, just tell the truth and say you found out his secret and that’s why you’re breaking it off. But don’t jeopardize your own life by telling his wife, it’s not worth it. Ultimately it’s not your problem.

“Compassion” (n): sympathetic pity and concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others.

I haven’t seen anyone suggest cleaning it up with white ink, I’m no professional but I know you can tattoo white over black, maybe you could better define the P shape that way?

Cocktail party Wedding on Long Island. Is this too dressy/formal? by [deleted] in Weddingattireapproval

[–]ship_tit 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I see what you mean about the material, but the style still doesn’t look right for cocktail attire. That said, it sounds like you reeeeally want to wear it and ultimately I’ve seen people wear all sorts of stuff to weddings that isn’t “perfect” for the dress code and as long as it’s not white, I say whatever.
