That's a Lineman.

All linemen are electricians, but not all electricians are linemen.

[-] Zachariah@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago

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

[-] fulcrummed@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

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

It's like calling an osprey a bird

[-] Zachariah@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

What’s a baby osprey called?

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.

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.

[-] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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

[-] LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 month ago

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.

Here's the thing

[-] Lexam@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

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

[-] Malyca@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 weeks ago

Line men are absolutely not always electricians

[-] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 1 month ago

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

[-] mrmisses@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Don't touch it or it's mother will abandon it

[-] FrowingFostek@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

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.

Fun fact: Birth of an Electrician is one of Arthur Miller's lesser-known plays.

[-] Saapas@piefed.zip 2 points 1 month ago

Where's the blue helmet?

[-] Coupable@lemmy.world -2 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Gork@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] Coupable@lemmy.world -2 points 1 month ago

You've defended AI image generation in the past, why are you pretending to care now?

[-] Gork@sopuli.xyz 12 points 4 weeks ago

Because I'm able to recognize when I've made mistakes and take corrective actions.

[-] Coupable@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

That's awesome, all the best <3
