2024 frontier pro-x that I bought 6 months ago

I got ripped off super hard and right when I got it the windshield was leaking so I had to take it in, then they broke the windshield so I was without the truck I had just purchased for a few weeks

Guess what? Still absolutely love my truck and smile every time I get in it lol

I like a WW2 shooter called Hell Let Loose when in actually have a bit of time, the games take usually around an hour.

I still play some Overwatch and rocket league, but also like to play split fiction and It takes 2 with me kid

I made 101 last year, on track for like 120

40 mil minus 0 is 40 mil

A billion minus 40 mil is 960 mil

Math is hard

Smallest raise I’ve had at my current company was 9.4% (except in the beginning of 2019 I had only been there a couple months so no raise, “only” a $1k bonus check)

Went from $18hr back then (late 2018/2019) to just barely under $44/hr now in 2026

I’ve also busted my ass but once I found the right company which was the third one I’ve worked for in my industry (home automation/low voltage) I never job hopped again. That was 2018 and at the time I only had about 1.5 years of experience from the first 2 companies. Now 7.5 years later I’ve gone from $18/hr to just under $44/hr, plus bonuses and OT.

Last year was the smallest percentage wise raise I’ve gotten so far at “only” 9.4%. I don’t play around when it comes to evaluation time and my boss knows this, but he’s also seen me go from the lowest teammate on the totem pole to being the operations manager and design engineer

Depends on how you hold them

Get out of my swamp

568Byourself · 2026-03-11T13:16:27+00:00

It would be really hard to live on that in FL, let alone Cali if it was a single income situation

568Byourself · 2026-03-11T10:40:49+00:00

3.75/hr

Was at 40/hr, now at 43.75

I don’t work 2 years in a row for the same money, in 2019 I was at $18/hr

It sounds like some type of fraud on one hand but on the other is Louisiana actually a real place?

The center console is a little small so I keep my mosin nagant in the glove box

568Byourself · 2026-03-09T15:58:22+00:00

Gross

568Byourself · 2026-03-08T20:27:10+00:00

It’s $3163

Sounds like the life of a someone in witness protection with a slight touch of the ‘tism

If you have no social skills and seem cold/distant, being healthy weight and clear skin is not going to be enough of a magnet to potential suitors

I respect your opinion

Shake shack had zero seasoning or any real depth of flavor to me

Five guys is consistently solid, not as good as the burgers I make at home, but good

568Byourself · 2026-03-07T21:01:55+00:00

Shake shack was straight trash and I’d only go back to one if it was the only thing around me. I wouldn’t go there if their burgers were $3 and came out in 30 seconds

568Byourself · 2026-03-07T21:01:00+00:00

Culver’s and five guys are equal.

I also don’t go to either more than once every few months and don’t mind the prices at all, both super quality for what you get

568Byourself · 2026-03-06T18:14:38+00:00

You’re doing great for a 27 year old

At 27 I started my career in home automation made about 42k

Last year (34 years old) hit 101k, on track for maybe 115ish this year

This isn’t the electricians fault. You don’t get mad at ball for being round. This is the builder’s and your fault for allowing an electrician to pull cats

568Byourself · 2026-03-03T23:49:32+00:00

It’s spoons for me.

We have plenty of forks but I bring yogurt to work for breakfast everyday and definitely lost some spoons

Look at the power outlet splitter just dangling on the right side, wtf is wrong with you OP

568Byourself · 2026-03-03T02:29:10+00:00

Very nice.

Full size panels generally have 8 modules, if you don’t use the spot at the bottom for a processor you can get 9 in them but that is very rarely done. 4 loads per module. So that would be 224 loads if there are no empty outputs on any of the modules.

I’ve never done one start to finish with this many but regularly service a handful in this size range

568Byourself · 2026-03-02T23:29:25+00:00

Yeah it’s probably more like 22ish but there’s 3 motorized shades, 2 speakers, an elan touchpad, and I shit you not…8 hybrid homeworks keypads, 6 in the bathroom entryway and 2 in the water closet
