I stuck my finger in one as a kid lmao

Or this that a switch?

@Thomas Morrow lol

I think it's a switch. Not sure, I didn't mess with it haha

My luck I'd break it

If its a switch ive never seen one

It was at the height of a switch by a door like a switch, so I just assumed it was one

Louisville is unique because we have the largest collection of Victorian homes in the nation that haven't been remodeled. Our historic society is really strict. If you pull the shutters off and don't replace them they fine you until you do. It's absurd, but I love it because "Old" Louisville is beautiful.

That doesnt sound like muh freedom

It's worth preserving. Nothing modern is comparable.

I respect that

I see all these pictures of historic buildings on the server and twitter and I'm ok, so great your posting this stuff, but am I the only person who's actually saving them?

Remember when the trades were segregated? Whites, carpenters, electricians, plumbers, masons. Blacks brick layers, not masons. Hispanics dry wall, painting, and metal studs.

Still is for the most part

They are switches. They're just spring-loaded the upper one pushed in is for on. The place I was at today has them. You can purchase new ones there replicas for when they wear out

Sweet, thanks for identifying them bro

In the 30 years I've been doing electrical work I can count on both hands the # of black electricians I've worked with

@Lebens around here seems like everyone who swings a hammer calls themselves a carpenter. Low voltage guys calling themselves electricians, nigga you're a cable guy...

@Deleted User wow in the last 15 years I can't tell you how many blacks I've worked with calling themselves carpenters and they can't even read a tape measure.

I only hire our people period

So much of being an electrician is visualizing your work in your head. Whether it's the circuitry or the manner in which you're going to run your conduit racks Etc. They just can't keep up.

Watching One troubleshoot something is a riot

Lmao you're so right

We have to visualize everything

And understand it on an electrical "engineer" level

Nigs troubleshooting is like watching a trainwreck

Haha oh I know. I did cable a few years back to take a break from back breaking labor. And the blacks couldn't handle it. A literal monkey could do it.

A coax stripper and a crimp tool were too much for them to grasp

And cable is so simple, start at the pole every single time and work your way inside. It's cake

@Deleted User pretty much

They follow gibs law

Lil' twitchy on the trigger!

@RevStench How's our man with the red thumb doin?

He seems to be doing ok. He swears he's coming back to work tomorrow. He's that guy who works 7 days a week and thinks he's freaking superman.

He told me that he never felt a thing until after he left the hospital. That's how you know it was pretty bad cut.

Now it'll hurt like hell.

That's what he said. He got lucky. The things I've seen this man do with a circular saw blow my mind, and a fucking ladder took him out.

Well, wish him a speedy recovery from the Alt Right.

Haha will do. He'll appreciate it. He has 12 white grandkids!
