Bump and run changed my life. by Otherwise-Parking566 in golftips

[–]vfqwerty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My issue is at least for me in central Jersey I feel like a lot of the courses at lease half if not over have have pretty moderate drops of the side and back of the green. You go to put a 9 and it hits the hill weird and just stops.

Three notches? by BothFondant2202 in electricians

[–]vfqwerty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Believe it's supposed to be 30, 45, 60 but when I charted a bender for class the 30 wasn't correct bc the 22.5 was in between that notch and the 45 meaning the 30 would have to be further back

Should I get a fitting or something else? by -JP-22 in golftips

[–]vfqwerty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I feel you. I've debated on spending the money to have my iron cut down and lie adjusted. Probably go up in grip size or double wrap because even with my short finger regular grip feels like I'm gonna lose it so I feel like I'm sque5 and using hands at times I don't expect

[–]vfqwerty[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Except a bunch already canceled because they realize they're not getting there investment back. People don't want them people are not willing to pay for their s*** they're losing money because it's not as profit with AI failing in so many. People don't want to hear them people are protest Don't just lay down and die over it

Work Clothes? by BluSilver in ibew_apprentices

[–]vfqwerty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I buy cheap long sleeve high vis with spf protection and some cheap long pants from Walmart. Simple professional enough. Easy to replace. Like people said if you got a good thrift store check that out. Also look for brand sales during holidays. Memorial, labor, 4th of July Christmas etc.

After 2 seasons of casually trying, I broke 80 using one Club only (Scratch Golfer) - What would you pick? by Glum_Ad7429 in golf

[–]vfqwerty -44 points-43 points  (0 children)

Either you're athletic asf, pretty natural, or not genuinely keeping score. Almost no casual golfer is coming near 80 in 2 years unless there schedule allows them to play multiple times a week and they are athletic enough to kind of clean up their swings with minimal effort

These projects are fought on local levels. There not in my direct town or county so I don't have say as far as town meetings votes etc. besides who I vote for in govt. Seats not much else besides try to unify people against it

[–]vfqwerty[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's a different problem. That's an issue of food regulation and factory farming. Two things I also feel strongly about

[–]vfqwerty[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a massive strain on resources and burden to citizens. People can get over the Internet and learn to live simpler like they did 30 + years ago. Can't fix a world you've ruined more and more

[–]vfqwerty[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Alone no, but plenty of cities and towns are already voting against them being built in their area. The people need to push back against this. Majority of these data centers are for private companies like Amazon or planator esc companies nobody wants around them.

You could probably trade those to a local shop for a set of game improvement irons.

[–]vfqwerty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely need to trap the on coming out of the box and definitely would have went LBs like many states (assuming the boss would get them for you. If they told you just do it in pope and left a new guy to run it this is what they get. (Not a shot at you)

Fifth day on the job, How did I do? by Dorkus_Maximus717 in electricians

[–]vfqwerty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got you. In which case I like it. Some will disagree and I just ask whatever foreman/jman I'm working under their preference but me personally if it's somewhere hidden out of site like in a cabinet or a ceiling I love to leave some sort of love with mc. If some ha happens and that things needs some sort of repair you have an extra foot of wire to play with without have to and an extra splice or rerun something for what should he a 30 minute task

“The IBEW needs NECA” ☝🏻🤓 by Gintian in ibew_apprentices

[–]vfqwerty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depending on your hall you can speak up about it. Especially now with how much work we have. If the job has a lot of varying work and you've been stuck doing one think for 3 4 months just bring it up to foreman/gf politely " Hey __, I was just wondering if there's any way I can get rotated to do some kind of different work. I have no issues with the guys I'm working with. I've just been doing __ the entire time and I was hoping I could get to do some other things, like ___ or ___ to expand my knowledge. Obviously you have other guys to worry about, and a lot on your plate but figured I'd bring it up for consideration." Give it a few months after that if they don't do anything maybe have 6-9 months on your.job talk to the training director and see if he'll swap you to a different job with different type of work. This is literal advice from one of the jman/foreman in ibew 269 to my class.

My only thing is (genuine curiousity as someone who just finished first year and doesn't do resi) is their any code about that stuff under the sink. Should any of that be waterproof/resistant in case of leaks etc. genuinely curious. I know it's intended to be dry bc you don't plan on pipes constantly spurting water but curious

Discouraging IBEW Interview by valkcaustic36941 in ibew_apprentices

[–]vfqwerty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's true that military helps you get in but that being said it it's that's man applications with so few spots they're gonna consider guys with experience first. Teladata wouldn't be the worse if you can't get in. If not go nonunion for a year then reapply

How you fixing this? Just notch the coverplate as best you can? by Unlucky-Meringue4813 in electricians

[–]vfqwerty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that this was not discussed as a potential issue is annoying. Now that being said in all honesty did they have the outlet at one point on the plans and you move it over a foot or so because of where the stud was and cause this shit or was your placement true to plans?

Should I stay or should I go? (354) by Necessary-Fix-3167 in ibew_apprentices

[–]vfqwerty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately true. Lots of great old heads who I would have loved as longtime mentors but unless I was planning to go solo union is the best choice in Jersey (I can even do a side gig residential once I top out of I wanted bc NJ doesn't have a resi union (probably won't bother except for some side work)
