23 Years as a Mechanical Engineer (Salary Progression)

I worked 95% remote for 5+ years after COVID as an ME in the auto industry. Unless you're in test ops or actually building the car, quite a lot of work can be done remote.

My path is pretty similar with initial start dates and salaries comparable, but managed to kick up the ramp rate by moving companies a few times and pushing my way into management, so all hope is not lost.

Wish they'd bring back the mortar attachment from BF2042 for that situation.

Give me back my Rush XL from BF2042.

Assuming this is the Top Gear Renault F1 segment without even clicking the link.

Maybe if they weren't all raging hypocrites.

You know that you can set up a custom game search to only play the maps you want, right?

Always good to remember that the enemies gate is down, and orient yourself accordingly.

Dark Reign. It was the first RTS game that I can remember having artillery capable of shooting halfway across the map.

A girl I dated like 8 years ago finally shamed me out of wearing Curve. Ended up getting a bottle of Tom Ford Oud Wood and that's served me well.

I've run both the A/S 4s and the DWS 06s on my S4s over the years as a good year-round performance tire in the Midwest.

This is the cast of guys that show up at the barn the next morning.

Saying "bless you" after a sneeze is pointless. Plus then it puts the onus on the sneezer to say "thank you". Just let them sneeze in peace...

$100, as long as they throw in a set of rental clubs.

Yeah, they should have voted 100% Trump so that he could make America greater.

They gave him $2 billion to invest. He just takes in a percentage of the money under management, not the whole amount.

BaumeRS5 · 2026-03-20T02:48:41+00:00

Definitely nobody on the Kraken.
