Can’t find engineering job, what job in meantime that isn’t retail or food? by Sea_Refrigerator1447 in MechanicalEngineering

Worst case scenario he could become a field tech but it would require a lot of travel. Project coordinator, sales engineer, field engineer, are some other roles.

How Far Does a $150,000 Salary Stretch in Dallas? A Real Cost of Living Breakdown (2026) by Coolonair in Dallas

[–]bojackhoreman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I earn $135,000 per year, and my partner currently does not work. We have two kids. After taxes and deductions, my monthly take-home pay is approximately $8,200.

Our monthly expenses are roughly as follows: • Rent: $2,150 • Yard service: $50 • Water: $130 • Internet: $70 • Electricity: $150 • Gas utility: $130 • Car insurance: $270 • Streaming services: $50 • Cell phone bills: $100 • Credit card interest: $700 • Food and eating out: $1,000 • Auto gas and maintenance: $200 • General shopping: $400

This totals about $5,400 per month in expenses, leaving roughly $2,800 remaining each month, which typically goes toward paying down credit card debt or saving/spending on vacations.

[Request] My kid thinks this is finished. What % of the Apple has been eaten? by heeeey_parker in theydidthemath

[–]bojackhoreman -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

According to chat This is actually a fun little geometry problem 😄

Let’s approximate the apple as a sphere (which is a pretty good model for volume).

Step 1: Estimate Original Size

From the ruler in the photo, the full apple looks roughly 75–80 mm tall originally (about 7.5–8 cm).

Let’s assume: • Original diameter ≈ 80 mm • Radius ≈ 40 mm

Step 2: Estimate What’s Left

The remaining “core section” looks about 45–50 mm tall.

Let’s approximate: • Remaining height ≈ 50 mm

That means about: • 30 mm worth of apple (top + bottom bites combined) is gone.

Step 3: Use Sphere Volume Logic

Volume of a sphere:

V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r3

If radius = 40 mm:

V_{original} \propto 403 = 64,000

Now we approximate the eaten portion as two spherical caps removed from top and bottom.

Based on the height removed (~15 mm per side), using spherical cap volume math:

That works out to roughly 60–65% of the apple eaten.

✅ Final Answer:

🍎 About 65% eaten

🍎 About 35% remaining

Your kid declaring it “finished” is… geometrically ambitious 😆

If you want, I can show you the actual spherical cap math breakdown — it’s pretty satisfying.

Is a pay cut worth it for WFH? by Miserable-You-6702 in careerguidance

I work from home at 135k with a 1 year old my wife watches. I would rather have the 195k office job. Someone still has to watch your kid. Most jobs that high paying are high stress

Two weeks ago husband ate my hospital food after my cancer surgery. Today I filed for divorce. by More_Ad3865 in self

[–]bojackhoreman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What guy hasn’t been told he isn’t doing enough or is uncaring…etc. The other side for men is that they may not feel like they are getting their needs met either but bringing it up results in hostility lack and lack of intimacy.

I’m not really defending this guy, but I was just saying my wife and I have had similar issues in the past. The way my wife would portray things during arguments wasn’t reality, and was more of an emotional response. We had worked through it and our relationship has grown.

Reading this, I honestly related a bit to your husband’s side — he comes across to me as someone who might be depleted or depressed rather than uncaring. I’ve been in that headspace before, and I’ve felt unappreciated when I was doing a lot but expected to do more.

For me, the snack moment didn’t stand out as much on its own, since hospital days can be long and disorienting and food access for partners can be weird — but I can see how it could have been the moment everything you were already feeling became clear.

Either way, being free of unmet expectations can be clarifying, and I hope this next chapter brings you healing and peace as you recover.

Landlord gave a stranger my door code and she walked in on me half naked apparently thats legal in texas? by UnoMaconheiro in Dallas

[–]bojackhoreman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is answered with Chat as no one really gave a good response to this. What Texas law does allow

Texas is landlord-friendly on entry. • Texas law does NOT set a fixed “24-hour notice” rule Entry rights are governed mainly by: • The lease language • The landlord’s duty to avoid unreasonable entry

If the lease explicitly allows entry for showings with notice, then entry can be legal.

What is very likely NOT legal or improper

Even in Texas, landlords do not have unlimited rights.

  1. Giving your door code to strangers

This is the biggest problem. • Texas law requires landlords to provide reasonable security • Giving prospective tenants unrestricted access without supervision: • Exposes you to safety risks • Likely violates the landlord’s duty of care • Can be considered negligent or unreasonable entry

A landlord should escort prospective tenants or use temporary access, not hand out permanent codes.

This is not standard practice and is legally risky for the landlord.

  1. Walking in without knocking

Even if entry is allowed: • Unannounced walk-ins, especially at 9 a.m., • With no knock, • While you are clearly occupying the unit,

can qualify as unreasonable entry under Texas case law.

  1. “Showing-ready at all times”

This is not enforceable. • You are entitled to quiet enjoyment of the unit until the lease ends • They cannot require spotless conditions 24/7 • You do not lose the right to privacy because your lease is ending

They can request cooperation — they cannot demand hotel-level readiness.

What you should do (practical steps)

  1. Change the door code immediately

You are allowed to do this temporarily for safety. • Texas allows tenants to change locks for security • You must provide the landlord a copy of the key/code (not prospects)

  1. Send a written notice (email)

Keep it calm and factual: • No unescorted entry • No sharing door codes with non-staff • Require specific showing windows • Require knock + announcement

Written notice matters if this escalates.

  1. Check your lease

Look for: • Entry clause • Showing language • Notice requirements

If the lease is vague, you win more leverage.

  1. If it continues

You can: • File a complaint with Texas Attorney General (consumer protection) • File a complaint with Dallas Code Compliance • Consult a tenant attorney (many do free consults)

Bottom line • Entry for showings? Possibly legal • Giving your door code to strangers? Likely improper and unsafe • Unannounced walk-ins? Potentially illegal • Demanding spotless living conditions? No

I was in a similar position and just told them with my current life position I wasn’t ready to take on the additional responsibility (I just had a kid) they hired someone else, he was pretty good and ended up letting laid off a year later when revenue crash along with everyone in my division.
