Another One *Vine Boom*

I am not the only trans man in my class anymore. It is a little comforting. He's been offering me rides home since sometimes my partner is in an appointment or something similar and can't pick me up when we get out of class. For the sake of his anonymity I won"t go into a ton of detail. It is good to see however.

Our instructor was telling us about how the industry has been changing, and how much more diverse companies are trying to be now. I just hope he's right, and that what he said applies to me.

The biggest issue I'm having at the moment is I need to change my name, but I have the misfortune of living in a state where it is incredibly expensive. It's about $400 when everything is combined, and that's if the judge approves of the name change. If I get unlucky and get a judge that won't approve it, that will cost more. Thing is, that's a third of my rent. I don't have that sort of money. I was thinking of doing a gofundme or making art for people to raise the funds. I'm hoping having a legally changed name will save some awkward conversations and some headaches for whatever IT people would have to scratch their heads trying to change my name in a ticket system.

I found a company that has the early morning shifts I would want to work. I'm a morning person and like to get out mid afternoon. I'm also not trying to work a majority of my shift in the heat of the day. I'm going to apply but for the reasons I've listed above I'm hesitant. I'm also not sure how I'm going to manage two jobs and school. I'm sure I'll figure it out when I get to it.

Civil Engineering

As a survey tech/engineering tech in utility companies, highway departments, energy sector work, and construction I have seen the beautiful and marvelous things we can create to better society. I'm writing after reading more and more about the extensive and sophisticated tunneling that has been engineered under Gaza by Hamas. I'm writing to ask if the American Society of Civil Engineers would publicly denounce this perversion of the trade. As someone who takes enormous pride in the capacity to engineer systems to improve life I'd like to see ASCE and sibling organizations publish statements calling out the gross misuse of civil engineering in order to disrupt, terrorize and harm society by Hamas. Engineering and resources that could have helped make Gaza a healthier, more livable place, less conducive to extremist ideologies and doom. Engineering that could have laid water and sewer lines, gas pipes and electrical connections, better roads and walkways. Engineering that would have uplifted the masses of people now displaced or killed in fighting that didn't have to happen.

ASCE code of Ethics, Preamble:

Engineers govern their professional careers on the following fundamental principles:

+ create safe, resilient, and sustainable infrastructure;

+ treat all persons with respect, dignity, and fairness in a manner that fosters equitable participation without regard to personal identity;

+consider the current and anticipated needs of society; and

+ utilize their knowledge and skills to enhance the quality of life for humanity.

I love comparing my math homework to my friend's because mine is all like simplyfing fractions and reading tape measures and shit while he's majoring in some kind of engineering so it looks incomprehensible to me kdgdjdhd

[notthatamy-blog]

There's a lot going on here, but it's not entirely bizarre given my experience as a genZ DIYer with an 80yo home.

1) some models of microwave are set up to be hardwired so this splice connection is not wrong or strange for being a splice. Hardwire connections are more common for older microwaves, for wall mountable models, and for ones that incorporate a hood for a stovetop.

2) it's a bad splice. They have not used color coded caps to differentiate the hot and neutral (never trust the colors, use them anyway). And they appear to have simply...cut? and? not? connected? the? ground?

3) it's generally best practice for a splice like this to be in a box, but people skip this step for lots of reasons and just go heavy on the tape instead. It's bad but not wildly negligent?

DISCLAIMER: I do my own electrical work, up to a point, even though that's expressly called out in the iconic Tangerine Kitty's "Dumb Ways to Die". Your personal levels of comfort with risk may differ from mine.

Who wants to see how the previous owners of my house plugged in the microwave

Why Planning for college before high school is the best decision

[trade-schools-near-me]

What is a Trade School

A trade school is a post-secondary educational institution. It provides hands-on training for specific work. Trade schools designed trade programs to teach students technical skills. These trade programs prepare them for actual work in their chosen field. 

Trade school programs have the shortest programs compared to other post-secondary educational programs. Trade school programs focus only on relevant job training, unlike universities. Depending on the program, students can get their degrees within six months to two years.

Students who finish their chosen program will receive the relevant industry certification. They may also enter into the workforce immediately after graduation most of the time. Others may have to study further for a licensure exam. Some of the occupations that may need a license are CNA and CDL.

You may enroll in trade schools if you are interested in becoming a:

Certified Nursing Assistant

Medical Assistant

Licensed Commercial Truck Driver

Plumber

IT Technician

Automotive Technician

HVAC Technician

Electrician

Hair Stylist

Cosmetologist

And a lot more!

‍

How long is trade school? 

Your time in trade school depends on the program and school you choose. You can complete trade programs in six months; others may take over a year or two. Other factors could be student progress, program complexity, and school schedule. 

‍

Here are some of the most common trade programs and their respective duration:

‍

Skilled Trades

HVAC Technician program – Earning an HVAC certificate may require 6 months to 2 years above. This time includes classroom time, field training, internship, and apprenticeship.

Aircraft Technician and Mechanic Program – Becoming an Aircraft Technician and Mechanic generally requires 18 to 24 months. It may include an apprenticeship.

Commercial Diver Certification Program – CDL training takes 1 month to 3 months to complete. It is generally one of the shortest of all trade schools. 

Plumbing Program – Plumbing training takes around 2 years to complete. Apprenticeship, in contrast, takes 5 years.

Automotive Technician and Mechanic Program – Automotive Technician and Mechanic training takes 9 months to 24 months to complete.

‍

Healthcare

‍

How much does trade school cost?

Trade school program costs vary depending on the program, the school, and the location. Tuition is one of many things to keep in mind. Books, supplies, and your living expenses are factors to consider.

‍

Tuition

Tuition costs differ, too, depending on the type of trade school offering the programs. Trade schools can be public, private not-for-profit, and private for-profit. Students complete their trade programs for two years or less generally. 

Here is the tuition comparison depending on the type of institution based on U.S. Department of Education's College Affordability and Transparency List for the years 2020 – 2021:

2-year, public – $3,863

2-year, private not-for-profit – $15,549

2-year, private for-profit – $​​15,033

Less than 2-year, public – $8,683

Less than 2-year, private not-for-profit – $13,127

Less than 2-year, private for-profit – $15,636

Books and Supplies

Other expenses to consider are books and supplies. Some schools and programs include books and supplies in tuition fees, while others do not. These costs vary depending on the programs, the schools, and locations. 

The average cost for books and supplies is $1,460 for 2022-2023 as estimated by College Board. 

‍

Other Expenses

Living expenses are another thing to account for. Living with family members while studying may reduce your rental and food costs. In contrast, those who live independently may need to set more budget for rental and food expenses. 

The overall estimated cost of trade school, inclusive of tuition fees, books and supplies, boarding, and other expenses, according to the National Center for Education Statistics:

‍

2-year, public, on campus: $15,900

2-year, public, off campus, living with family: $9,700

2-year, public, off campus, not living with family: $19,600

‍

2-year, private nonprofit, on campus: $33,300

‍

2-year, private for-profit, on campus: $27,200

2-year, private for-profit, off campus, living with family: $21,400

2-year, private for-profit, off campus, not living with family: $30,700

‍

Benefits of trade school

If you are still thinking about whether trade school is for you or not, these benefits of enrolling in trade school might help you decide:

Lower Costs

Faster Timeline

Smaller Class Size

Life Update (It's Good)

It got better.

It's been a hectic last couple of months so I'll try to keep it brief. First we'll start with what happened with the car. Since we settled I can talk about it. The man who hit us got full liability, he made a rolling stop at a stop sign which is not legal in our state. We got the value of the car plus our deductible back and our insurance did not increase. We were able to make a sizable downpayment on a really nice car for a good deal. It sucks that we're making payments now but honestly I believe this is the best outcome for this situation we could have gotten.

Using public transportation was not as bad as it could have been. Since I was going at odd hours (very early in the morning and about 2pm) there weren't a lot of people to be worried about. I did have a small confrontation at a gas station where I was waiting but the person left pretty quick when he realized I was not going to budge. Someone asked me for money, I told him I didn't have any but would get him some food and he called me some choice words. None of them transphobic, so I guess I have that going for me. I get approached quite a bit, maybe I look friendly. My issue is I am friendly, life sucks too much to add to it with a nasty attitude toward people.

What really sucked was the weather. It's been cold and rainy/snowy. The wait for the bus and the walk to it wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the weather. Luckily a couple times school was cancelled for bad weather so I didn't have to walk in it, but for the days it wasn't cancelled I did not have a great time. You know what though? It is what it is. Sometimes life sucks but we get through it. That's how I've been viewing a lot of things, it doesn't make it easier in the moment but it makes the other side seem much more attainable. Maybe it makes me stronger, I wouldn't know.

I wanted to make this update post for anyone worried about the last one. Thankfully everything worked out with the car and I didn't get hate crimed on the bus.
