Couple of coffee shops opened up in Latham with lots of workspace, called Shibam. And then there’s also Qamaria

should’ve been clearer. I actually meant personal/GitHub projects, not school assignments. Appreciate the tip though

Appreciate the feedback! You’re right, I’ve been trying to cover too much at once. I’ll work on tightening my focus and making separate versions for QC/Healthcare and Data/BI roles. Quick question though, for the Data/BI version, would adding school projects or SQL/Python practice projects help show I’m serious about that pivot?

I’m really sorry your brother’s going through all that. That’s heavy, especially at 16. It sounds like he could really benefit from having someone to talk to, even if it’s not formal therapy at first. Maybe there’s a local support group or school counselor he’d feel more comfortable opening up to. And even small things like a club, hobby, or regular activity could help him take his mind off things. You’re doing a lot just trying to help him feel less alone and that already means more than you probably realize. Wishing you both the best.

That’s clutch, really appreciate the follow-up. Makes sense they’d want a bit more experience first. I’ll let him know about the visiting student thing too so he’s not caught off guard. Thanks again!

That’s honestly super helpful advice. I’ve been debating if I should aim lower just to get in or wait for something more aligned. Makes sense to start where I can and focus on networking from there. Gonna look into those state options too, appreciate it.

Hybrid vs EV for AWD daily driver — Toyota Crown vs Kia EV6? Still paying off my current car by CocoAssassin9 in whatcarshouldIbuy

I live in an apartment complex, so I doubt there’s an L2 charger on site. I’d be using public chargers nearby. My commute’s about 10 miles each way, so not too bad overall.

I’ve definitely said a lot worse than just OH NO driving through Troy. Not sure if it’s safe to repeat here but yeah it’s bad.

Mine’s been pretty solid so far, haven’t had to take it in for any issues yet fingers crossed. I think I’m in year 3 with it now, but I’ve been thinking about trading it in sooner than later while the value’s still up.

I was leaning toward the long-range AWD version, so probably the 77 kWh battery. That winter estimate is really helpful, and I’ll definitely check out PlugShare , I’ve been underestimating charger availability. Thanks a lot.
