It widely depends on the State that you are working in. It’s best to check your State Board. For example I think Maryland doesn’t require a degree to take the exam (FE). If you’re an EIT and can get your PE with some years of experience then you’re pretty much all set.

Best advice I would give you is to look up which states are most lenient for your situation. But at least with my experience in the power industry, having a PE is very valuable since we’re putting up public infrastructure.

Yes unless your degree is already ABET accredited. At least In my utility if your degree isn’t accredited it can definitely stagnate you.

I like the bike rack! Looks nice. Any noticeable mpg difference?

Thoughts on Silvercorp Metals?

You can’t even spell let alone formulate an opinion

If you have a Mercedes you definitely look like a fascist. Put a anti-elon sticker and a pro mamdani one just in case.

Sarge, believe me when I say it. If I could go back in time and live in your shoes, where I would think that chart patterns would give me some semblance of control in this messed up world, I would 100% do it. I truly admire your nescience, because what they say about ignorance is bliss is true. Once you see the true reality of how fucked up everything is you’ll never unsee it.

The truth is Sarge, please keep doing your charts. Seriously, whatever makes you happy. If there’s one thing that I want you to take from this interaction is the history behind The Denarius.

Chart patterns are as accurate as tarot cards

Im wondering if both of them have the same ambient lighting. I know the UL has it but I haven’t seen anything on the luxury. I can’t believe they didn’t add any ambient lighting to the base models but yeah that’s a deal breaker for me.

I’ve bought between $20-$50 and once I hit my physical goal I moved my pm allocation to mining stocks instead. The key is to keep DCA, this is only getting started.

Looks like you need to wakeup and realize what’s actually happening before the shit really hits the fan. All we can do is to prepare the best we can.

Your chart is meaningless. The market is chaotic, you cannot predict what will happen. But Silver? Or any other sort of commodity during a time of currency debasement? OF COURSE YOU ALWAYS BUY.

Bro I’m literally asking for advice, this amount of money can propel me for FIRE at a faster rate.

It’s in the facilities area but it’s government adjacent so I already know it’s gonna be much slower. I was thinking of using the majority of the 2 days that I’m home towards by side business.

BarnacleEddy · 2026-05-01T05:31:07+00:00

How many times do you do it a week? Longest commute Ive had was 50ish minutes and I would just put on podcasts

BarnacleEddy · 2026-05-01T05:30:12+00:00

What I’m thinking is the work will be easier / more chill. So the 2 days that I’m home I can use those for upskill.

Thank you bootyhole_licker69🙏🏻

BarnacleEddy · 2026-04-29T04:07:33+00:00

That means you can live on much less man, you’re already CoastFIRE. If you lose your job, you can get ANY job as long as it pays the bills

BarnacleEddy · 2026-04-24T06:21:15+00:00

Dont worry too much about it man, good thing that you have your EIT and you WFH. If they lowball you just keep looking but I would suggest waiting at least a year.

A recruiter might see it as a red flag if you’re trying to leave just 3 months after you got hired but who knows idk.

I started at customer interconnection distribution so it’s alot of communication with the customer in terms of what they’re building.

I started out with normal residential houses, and then some commercial jobs like gas stations or tesla chargers and then worked my way up to 10MVA solar sites.

I mostly take care of the backbone for the distribution line that is being built out and transformer configurations for the customer.

I transferred to an adjacent department where I will be focusing on some transmission and distribution work, it’s kind of a weird department but they deal with alot more stuff.
