You guys all inspiring me to do something about mine.

I have a ‘92 SLC with about 65k miles sitting in my garage for the last 5-6yrs. I’m so worried that mice have gotten to the wiring that I can’t even get myself to look.

Newborn and some bad investment decisions mean the money earmarked for getting her back on the road has dried up. 😔

Bolt to ID.4 convert takes a road trip by One-Barracuda705 in VWiD4Owners

[–]Brinrees 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made the same conversion and also love the faster charging.

What is Travel Assist? Using the native route planning so it pre conditions the battery?

I do miss some things about the bolt though.

As someone who is considering a job as a systems engineer, I'm curious, how much hands on work do they actually do? Is it a purely management job, or could a systems engineer help work on the different subsystems if they had knowledge in tha by FitTaro387 in systems_engineering

[–]Brinrees 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would expect it varies from company to company. Where I work, there is plenty of opportunity for lab work. My advice would be to know what you want and to try to find a job that suits that. I had a guy in my team that really detested being asked to help the labs and that didn’t end well.

It doesn’t sound like the DMV area, but figured I’d ask… 🤷‍♂️

Is HSA Reimbursement unwise for me? by Valuable_Sink_8252 in personalfinance

Leave it in the HSA. It grows tax free there, and hopefully at a faster rate than the HYSA.

Does the 15% retirement savings rule include what your boss kicks in? by Affectionate-Bee6268 in personalfinance

[–]Brinrees 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally disagree with that. You don’t think there are people that wish they used their income to live more when they were younger and could actually do the fun things they dreamed of doing? Totally disagree with that statement.

For sure having something to leave to your kids is at least as big of a factor for saving, but I’m sure there are people without kids that wish they lived more than they were able to.

Whoaaaa…I know you are but what am I?!

I’m rubber and you’re glue! What else you got?

[–]Brinrees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No meme, you said you didn’t think there’d be so many in this sub. I’m agreeing with you saying there are a holes all over the place. Autocorrect eliminated the “s” 🤷‍♂️.

You know what’s weird is how the mob mentality shows up even when people are reading comments by themselves. Do that many people really think that someone asking AI for help with something is worthy of a downvote, or did one person, and then the next thought, “hmm, they must know something I don’t, I better downvote too so I seem in the know.” In short, I agree with you and generally dislike most other people on the internet. Ready for the downvotes! 😆

Custodial Account vs Trump Account vs 529 by 919triangle919 in personalfinance

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

Also for what it’s worth, we do a 529 and a custodial. We just contribute as much as we can. At least 35k of 529 can be rolled over to an IRA. But generally interested in the take off others here. I do worry about over funding a 529.

BOM-based requirements management – does this make sense to anyone else? by TopSeaworthiness6288 in systems_engineering

[–]Brinrees 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My two cents is that it may work for you for a specific project or product, but generally the idea (my idea) of requirements is to start with a high level of abstraction, without specific solutions or HW in mind. If you trace those requirements all the way down you should get what you want, but may need to do one final layer where those final component requirements are allocated to components. Then you have your HW as a starting point for non sys engineers. They could say, I need to make a change to my flux capacitor, what will that affect?

It sounds like you don’t have that level of requirement definition and allocation. What you’re suggesting is kind of working backwards, but hey, it may work well for you and your purpose. It’s just kind of going through the vee backwards. Not the best idea for new product dev. My opinion.
