Its just a photoshop of the serious cat meme, no cats were harmed in the making of this meme… probably

When I can see Jupiter, I always say “Jupiter is with us!!” It’s going to be depressing when it’s no longer out in the mornings before I go to work. Hopefully Saturn or the Moon can keep me company instead

You uh… may have accidentally just called him a fool. Gesture would be correct

Well thats the thing, you don’t know about all the “good enough” things, you know when they fuck something up and it doesn’t work. Then curse their name as you have to redo it…

On my jobsite, working in new construction, we still complain a lot about what the people before us did. Everybody on the crew is a competent electrician, yet we still have plenty of times where we look at the most experienced electrician there and think “wth was he thinking??”

Yes, kitchens, family rooms, dining rooms living rooms, parlors, libraries, dens, bedrooms, sunrooms, recreation rooms, closets, halways, laundry areas, and “similar areas” all require AFCI protection for homes. A bathroom would be GFCI protected, but does not have to be AFCI protected. A kitchen will be both. A hallway will be AFCI protected, but does not have to be GFCI protected.

Edit: should also clarify that this is according to the most recent version of the codebook, 2023. So this list only applies to brand new homes in areas where the 2023 version has been adopted. It’s likely it’s the same or similar for previous iterations, but I’d have to look back through a lot of versions of the codebook to see so uh… eh

We’re Americans, we do things illogically here

In seriousness though, I’m not really sure. I would guess, like most things, money is the answer. The codebook we electricians use specifies what needs to be GFCI. You can always go above that, and make everything GFCI, but you don’t have to. If you’re bidding a job, you can estimate higher to have GFCI protected everything, but the customer is almost always going to go for the cheaper price, so why bother?

I am an electrician, but this is mostly my speculation and me talking out of my ass so uh… take it with a grain of salt.

Every time I see a dremel, I wonder… what if?

Just wear a sweater bro

I don’t see anything obviously wrong with the picture, but for some reason this made me think it was AI immediately. I hate that my brain questions a picture of a cat nowadays

I work as an electrician on a construction site, and one of the greatest perks of the job is that you leave it there. It’s not like you can work from home in the first place, and we don’t really have shifts. Everybody comes in at the same time and leaves at the same time, so you don’t have to bother with covering extra shifts.

That isn’t to say it’s a dream job of course, the perks are great, but the work itself will probably bite me in the ass later with health issues…

Big government doesn’t want you to know this, but we have a 0.69420 cent coin as well

O

I

Well damn, terribly sorry, I’ve been a real fucking ass hat towards you all, allow me to apologize like the bastard I am

As an electrician, the only thing I can think of anymore when see windows like that is how much of a pain in the ass it would be to have to install all the outlets in the floor (obviously can’t put them in the window, but we’re legally required to have them along the wall, window or not)

Hello there

Thank god I can’t see that that says bullshit… oh wait

He was not lost, despite best attempts

Priorities right there
