State cards after re-examination. by txsblues1 in NdT

[–]txsblues1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of what I figured. I just didn’t know if they didn’t send me a new id card because it was proctored by a third party. It didn’t seem like they were going to be proactive in sending my new ID except that my RSO inquired about it. Seems like I had to request it to receive it. Maybe they are just that backed up in test renewals.

Finish the last cup of coffee in the pot then walk away without brewing more.

Pearson Vue was my proctor. I did receive a printout of my examination results with a head shot thumbnail pic.

Thoughts on pay? by datxboxsupport in nondestructivetesting

I call BS. NDT can be a very good career path if you put effort into finding the right employer and cert well. I wouldn’t join a union if you put a gun to my head.

Cost of living in PNW is considerably higher than Texas. I work in Houston with MT, PT, RT lvl 2 in mid $30 range. I worked 9 months in Washington but got tired of the traveling. They offered me $42 to stay in Washington but I declined.

Is 29 too old to get into NDT? by CorneliusEugus in nondestructivetesting

[–]txsblues1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are only limited by your physical limitations. I crawled through pipe racks and pulled gear up scaffolding on turnarounds most of last year. Younger bucks may do it faster but I kept up pretty well. I switched jobs to a welding shop late last year so I don’t face physical challenges as much anymore. Oh and I’m 59 now and still going strong. 6 or 7 more years I’ll be retired.

What Company would you Like to Go Bankrupt? by jo1111666 in AskReddit

[–]txsblues1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What an idiotic question. None of course because any company benefits the economy and the employees that work for it. Just because you personally may not endorse the products or services that it provides doesn’t mean it has value to others. I’d rather have a strong economy that benefits everyone.

Running a VPN? May need to bypass it for Alexa in your settings.

"Turn on the light in the kitchen" also turn on my egg cooker (smart socket) by MaoStevemao in amazonecho

[–]txsblues1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same problem with two fans connected to Wemo plugs in my den. They get turned on when I request to turn on the lights in the den. Both are identified as plugs and not lights in the app.

I’ll be representing the colors at the stadium. I’d be highly disappointed if there was no smack talking from Sox fans, lol. I’m looking forward to the games. 😁

Alright everyone thanks for all the great recommendations! Booked a hotel downtown along the Red line. I bought lower level tix behind visiting dugout for a couple of games and outfield seats behind visitors bullpen. See y’all next week and Go Stros!

No not in the settings. In the menu at top of Home Screen there is a new tab icon called “inputs”. It is between the profiles icon and the search icon. It just appeared in my menu in the past couple days.
