I got my first daily carry not too long ago, and I've been trying to figure out what the best way to carry is. I like appendix, but I'm a larger guy, and it is extremely uncomfortable to carry that way, so I mostly carry 3 o' clock instead. I'm currently trying to lose the weight so that I can comfortably carry appendix, but in the mean time, can I get a holster thats a little more comfortable, or is it probably always going to be a little uncomfortable, even after I drop the weight?

I am so sorry. I voted for Trump back in 2024. I did not realize then that he and his entire cabinet were treasonous snakes. I bear some of the blame for this.

The NDAA just passed in the house. In case you've been living under a rock for the last couple weeks, section 219 of the bill effectively merges the United States military and the IDF. This means shared resources and Intel. Israel has a long history of conducting espionage in America.

This. Is. High. Treason. Every single representative who voted for this should be put under the jail or worse.

There is still however hope. The bill was shot down a couple weeks ago in the Senate, so now it will go back to the Senate for a second vote. If I were you, I'd contact my senator and make it clear that we the people don't want this and that if they vote for it, they will be out of a job come the mid terms.

Hello again. I have made several posts in this subreddit asking questions as someone considering getting into the trade. I have yet another question; the other day, I stopped by my local IBEW office to ask some questions after work. One of the things that they told me was that the work schedule differs from job to job, but right now they're on a job that is 60-60-50 (60 hours for 2 weeks and then a 50 hour week and then repeat). Something that worries me about that schedule is burnout. And obviously different jobs have different schedules, maybe I'd be put on a 30 hour work week job after that, who knows? But my worry is that if ALL jobs would have that scheduled or a similar schedule for months on end, I'd get burnt out very quickly. I mean either way, I think the electrical trade is at the top of my list right now. I might just need to stick it out until it becomes routine. How many hours a week would you say you get on average throughout the year?

Hello electricians of reddit. I just left my job of 3 years and am looking for a new career. One of the handful of careers I'm considering is electrician or lineman. However, the extent of my knowledge of electricity is that it wants to get to the ground. That's about it. I could always take a community college course just to get the basics down, and I assume that I would be taught as an apprentice. My timeline is about a year until I apply to the union, or MAYBE 2, but I'm not keen on staying at my current job longer than necessary. Is lack of or very little knowledge of how electricity a barrier to entry for electricians?

Edit: also, I've seen things saying that late winter/early spring is peak apprentice hiring season. like I said, I am trying to leave my current job in around a year, but that puts me in late spring ish of 2027. Should I be worried about missing peak hiring season?

Hello. I am an INFP who I recently left a Christian missionary organization for a "real job". I'm currently working just an in between job until I figure out what I want to do long term. It's been tough because I thought I would be working with that organization for the rest of my life, bud I believe God called me into the work force (not looking to debate Christianity or the existence of God, just stating what I believe—if you don't believe in God, cool good for you, please keep it to yourself). The dilemma I'm having is that I've always been skilled-ish with a hammer or drill—blue collar type stuff, or at least, I usually pick those things up pretty quickly, and that was what I was doing with the organization. However, being an INFP, I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place, as on one hand, you have jobs like school teacher that would be really fulfilling to me, as I could see a direct impact that I'd be having on kids, but I don't think I'd be very good at it, but on the other hand, you have blue collar stuff, which I generally am pretty good at and/or pick up quickly, but it wouldn't really be emotionally fulfilling for me. I don't have a lot of money, not will I in the near future when I plan on looking into different career paths and choose one, so college is off the table. Does anyone have suggestions on good jobs that if potentially be good at and would be fulfilling?

So until about a month ago, I was serving with YWAM (a low church protestsant missionary organization). I grew up evangelical/AG, and then eventually went on to joining YWAM after high school. About 6 months ago, I started inquiring Orthodoxy, and made the decision to convert in early December. I still had commitments at YWAM, so I didn't leave immediately. I am now waiting to become a catechumen (my priest said that there are a few other people that go to the parish that want to become catechumens as well, so he wants to initiate (is that the right word?) us all at the same time).

What would the quote unquote "right" way to understand the organization in the Orthodox mind? I mean they do great stuff, I worked with a lot of people who went to other countries and opened businesses, creating jobs, and boosting the local economies, but at the same time, they would be considered outside of the fullness of the faith (and maybe leading people astray?).
