Dont call a lineman an electrician. "Electrician" = inside wireman. Linemen are a different animal. At least where I live, you have to be able to troubleshoot a home to be considered a proper electrician.

you have to be able to troubleshoot a home to be considered a proper electrician.
SO are electricians considered more skilled? Genuinely curious. I feel like a lineman would be since they deal with more deadly stuff but what do i know.
Nah, not much more deadly kinda,
If something sends electricity to the lines when they are supposed to be off, it gets risky which is pretty much an issue since people are stupid and will do it accindentally by connecting their generators or solar pannels where they shouldn't
I suppose. My knowledge of electricity ends at watching ElectroBoom and StyroPyro. Entertaining, sure. but don't learn a whole lot. ElectroBoom teaches more but i don't retain it.

That's a Lineman.
All linemen are electricians, but not all electricians are linemen.

So the juvenile lineman could still be called an electrician until it matures?

I think you’ll find they’re actually all jackdaws.

That's not a lineman. That's tower crew for cell phone towers.

Line men are absolutely not always electricians

Lineman. OP would be tossed out of the nest for calling them a electrician.

That's at least a third year apprentice. He's taking up the last lineman's nest cuz he got caught going to the bar at lunch.

OP is an AI simp and this is probably a generated the image.

I try not to be a clanker wanker but sometimes I legit can't figure out if a picture is AI. This is one of those times.

You've defended AI image generation in the past, why are you pretending to care now?
Gork@sopuli.xyz · 12 pts · 32d
Because I'm able to recognize when I've made mistakes and take corrective actions.
