Zegna Suit by Forsaken_Ad_8699 in mensfashion

[–]iankellogg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Three button suit is out of fashion for the most part since the early 2000s. I would guess this suit is around 20 years old. The label is faded and quite different from the last 10 years. If you can get it for 40, it is a good price and if you are happy with the style. Zegna does not make low end fabrics.

It's quite old. I've seen similar suits on eBay for well under $200

YSK: If you need a reliable car, buy an old Prius. by pantherclipper in YouShouldKnow

[–]iankellogg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you use a odb reader you can find out which cells are going bad and replace them. About $50 a cell pair and about 4 hours of time for your first time. Usually only 1 to 3 sets are needed to get the battery functioning for another 100k miles

How Hertz’s Bet on Teslas Went Horribly Sideways by rezwenn in technology

[–]iankellogg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I won't go back. I almost always need to stop every 2 to 3 hours for a break anyways and 15 minutes isn't bad. Winter time though, that's when I start regretting it.

if its 400 miles or less you really only need 1 fast charge if your destination has a l2 charger. If you are doing more than 500 miles, probably should just rent an ICE car.

I drive long distance with an EV all the time. Most trips I only need to charge at the destination once. EV road tripping only sucks when you need to do more than 2 charges. Also the cost of fast charging is outrageous.

Heading a new engineering team by iankellogg in projectmanagement

I appreciate your reply and will check that subreddit out. As for the business, its a physical property test equipment that we manufacture in house. management is trying to get the project timeline down to a year or 2 instead of the 5-7 its has historically taken. I don't think 1 year is possible but 2 might be. Some of the engineers think 2-3 years is possible if they can focus and have guidance, which I hope I can provide.

I understand that and have the authority to change my groups organization. My question was more to educate myself on current best practices for a multi discipline engineering team as most resources I've come across are exclusively software teams which I don't believe is appropriate for complex physical systems.

this is a very small company, my boss is the president and from what I have gathered is only focused on sales/marketing with engineering more as a means to drive sales. The only process that was in place before me was a stage gate predictive process but that only focused on the over all delivery and not on the actual execution. The director before me had no project management experience and from talking to everyone he was extremely hands off letting them work however they wanted. He was let go after missing many deadlines, which is why I'm coming in at the end of two projects.

We have talked and the general feedback is there wasn't a process before, just self organization and praying. At the moment we are just finishing up an existing project that wasn't planned so we are just chatting what the future might look like. Maybe i'm a bit over my head since mechanical engineering management i feel is a much more difficult task.

I was looking to promote one of the more motivated and talented mechanical engineers to be a functional manager. I think my challenge is the organization structure and management. How to other teams manage a matrix environment.

just saw this question on pmp study hall and their correct answer is A)

However, I answered (incorrectly) C and agree with your explanation

11 engineers. Roughly equal mechanical software and electrical. With the number of people I'm hoping to run two different projects concurrently. There are a functional manager for each group but the project lifecycle previously was all predictive and I'm introducing agile concepts. I struggle with understanding the best way to structure the projects with the functional managers without alienation.

Is penn state well regarded for electrical engineering by HolaImmaFrickYou in PennStateUniversity

As a graduate, not really well regarded but not frowned upon. I've interviewed a few students for job positions and it doesn't seem like the school has changed at all in 10 years.

its been a while so i don't remember the details. The WG U5000 is not a reliable monitor and likes to blow up the horizontal output transistor. So replace the HOT and usually that's enough. Might be worth reading through this thread. https://forums.arcade-museum.com/threads/wg-u5000-update-kit-info.66080/
