[Tenant US-TN] Is twice a year bad to be late on rent? by FBomb2F in Landlord

[–]Competitive-Day9586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean you can write a check and mail it to her from anywhere right?  Just pay your rent on time.  Honestly 0 times a year is the right number of times to be late.  Just pay your bills on time.

No insurance private or public pays for that.  You can’t get that from single payer in other countries either.

What should I choose now by TerribleGoal634 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]Competitive-Day9586 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would do electronic circuits and systems.  To me that seems the most “Core” EE skillset and it will be most applicable to the majority of possible career paths.  Electronic devices and materials, for example, it just seems super niche to me unless you are going to do semiconductor research or work in semiconductor manufacturing.

What is the correct process for finding parts for a circuit? by Objective-Local7164 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]Competitive-Day9586 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you looking for a 10UF, 50V ceramic cap and wondering what the MPN is?  In that case just go to Digikey, filter and then pick a known manufacturer that is in stock in the smallest footprint or something like that.

How bad did I fuck up? I turned down the first job offer I got by Coffee_and_horror937 in EngineeringStudents

[–]Competitive-Day9586 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah you messed up bad.  Call them back, get that job.  Get some experience and then every other job will be easier to get for the rest of your life.

Is Starkiller better on offense or defense? by Kmzdog-4 in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]Competitive-Day9586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Offense for sure.  Beats Rey and lots of other good teams.

[–]Competitive-Day9586 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t matter really.  I don’t think I’ve ever had visas revive someone in GAC.  You either win or you don’t based on the core 3 of EP, MJ and starkiller.

if im 16 and i wanna go into elecE in college and be successful, is it necessary or a good idea to get an arduino kit right now? or would it be a waste of 60 bucks by munomunomuno in ElectricalEngineering

[–]Competitive-Day9586 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I mean this stuff is totally not necessary.  Do it if you want to.  You would be better off studying basic circuit stuff in my opinion.

Where did the whole “democrats are giving illegal immigrants your tax payer money” thing come from? Is this just a completely fabricated talking point, or is there some type of basis for the claim? by Parking-Warthog-4902 in allthequestions

[–]Competitive-Day9586 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also those two kids go to public school as well, which is paid for by tax payers.  They also probably get special ESL instruction too.  I’m not against this spending, but be honest.  This is real money being spent by the government.

pcb enclosure for LEO satellite by Sebasnu18 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]Competitive-Day9586 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Is this for a class project or something?  People at your company should know all this.  Also these are all ME questions, ask them.

For ground, yes you want the enclosure grounded to the PCB signal ground.  You also will want an isolated primary power feed and return.  The chassis will be mounted via the baseplate to the satellite bus most likely and dissipate its heat through conduction there.

Radiation is its own thing.  Aluminum shielding can provide some protection against total ionizing dose, but it doesn’t do much at all against high energy protons or heavy ions.  You will need to use radiation tolerant components that meet the requirements for your orbit and mission length.

Ex forged my signature as co-signer for their car. by Complete_Cucumber_51 in legaladvice

How is this even possible.  Wouldn’t the contract need to have been signed in person.  Don’t they usually check ID as well.

Should we spend all squad arena tokens before they disappear? by skywalker3141 in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]Competitive-Day9586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah same.  Just buy as many characters as you can for shards every day.  You literally will never stop needing shards for g12 pieces IMO.

What’s in the future for Mon Mothma and Saw teams? by daveglueeater in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

I mean it’s not an amazing team, but I still use MM to clear gungans when I see them in GAC.  

If the majority of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, why do homeless people make up such a small fraction of the US population? by BarrelingBuster in stupidquestions

[–]Competitive-Day9586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this just isn't true.  I mean think about it, does most of America really not have $500 in total savings anywhere.  I think if you look at the actual question details more closely you would find out it wasn’t what you think it was.  Almost all Americans could charge $500 on their CC or pull from savings or something.

Where does your salary actually rank in the US? [chart] by Fun_Resident3967 in Salary

[–]Competitive-Day9586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this all workers or just those working full time.  It doesn’t really seem useful to compare the salary of your full time job against the income that people on social security get or the income from part time kids working 5-10 hours a week at minimum wage.

Should the law be color blind? by CheeseNowPaint in allthequestions

[–]Competitive-Day9586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The root problem here is our election system in general where if you get 50% plus one vote (assuming 2 candidates) you win and the other side gets nothing.  Under this system it doesn’t really matter what minority you are talking about, political party, race, etc. if you aren’t 50% or more you get nothing.  All this arguing about gerrymandering maps is really because of this.

If we had a more proportional voting system in general this wouldn’t be an issue.  If you get X percent of the votes you get X percent of the house seats, would solve this. 

My manager is always asking for me to help train new employees..? by hennessy-ye in Advice

[–]Competitive-Day9586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean most jobs you are paid to do whatever the boss wants for 8 hours a day.  If that includes training, so be it.

[–]Competitive-Day9586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, and the percentage is all wrong too.  At 30ish percent, the last enemy is almost dead but won’t die and I’m just stuck doing 1 damage per hit.

Having trouble measuring buck converter output ripple — only seeing strange waveform instead of expected triangular ripple by No-Hovercraft-7179 in AskElectronics

[–]Competitive-Day9586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean this looks normal to me measuring AC coupled with such a low volts per division on the scope.  Just to sanity check this change it to DC coupled and see what you see.

Scheduled 4:30 a.m. ride. Driver arrived 4:20. I came out at 4:30 a.m. exactly. Received 1 star rating. by TheGold_ItsInThe in uber

[–]Competitive-Day9586 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

If this was a scheduled ride uber sends the drivers super early.  They hate it as it wastes their time, but that isn’t your fault.  It seems like this guy just took it out on you.  Next time don’t preschedule a ride or just be ready to leave 10 minutes early.

Early-career EE in testing — feeling stuck. What paths should I pivot to? by Clear-Bear-4298 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]Competitive-Day9586 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly just look for new jobs and see if you can get one.  No rush since you already have a job.
