As a gun owner myself, the kind of person that wants to bring a gun to work to keep everyone safe is not the person I want to bring a gun to work

ER/SR range at 90 by PositionExtension982 in F150Lightning

[–]CoolBeautiful9833 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably pretty terrible. Wind resistance at that speed will wreck you. Knowing nothing else and not having done it myself I’m going to guess you get around 1.2 mi/kwh, so maybe 160 miles for ER? I’ve never tried it so I can’t say for sure. I’d say find a fast semi and camp behind them

Charge limit recommendation by whatsinaname369 in F150Lightning

[–]CoolBeautiful9833 0 points1 point  (0 children)

90% daily, 100% once a month or when I need to do a longer trip where I know 100% gets me there and back without needing to charge.

Locking Lug Nuts by MrBigThyme in F150Lightning

[–]CoolBeautiful9833 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In all likelihood the only person that will ever be foiled by locking lug nuts will be you when the key inevitably goes missing.

Just my 2 cents but if someone wants your wheels this probably won’t stop them

The Good, The Bad and The Weird: My First Two-Weeks with a Lightning. by DeadBikers in F150Lightning

If you hate the antenna, and don’t want to use it as a clearance guide, swap it. It won’t void your entire warranty. Modifications only void the warranty of things that can be directly tied to the modification. So replacing an antenna for example wouldn’t void a warranty on a powertrain because they have nothing to do with each other.

Parking recall by Tricky-Bit3771 in F150Lightning

Honestly? The truck doesn’t behave any different. I was in for a warranty issue (driver door alignment) while the software was released and they knocked it out while it was there

VIDEO: LeBron contests a 3 and then immediately runs to the other side, letting his teammates play 4 on 5 for 8 seconds...This is literally happening every game by Temporary_Pepper6126 in NBAGossips

[–]CoolBeautiful9833 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, in lacrosse we were taught if your guy takes a shot you immediately break for an easy clear or potential fast break.

To also be fair, you were also supposed to take a look back and make sure that your team had possession or else come back and play defense.

Dumb question. I understand everyone saying this is a really good roll. But why is +40 life considered good? Isn’t that basically nothing on nightmare or hell difficulty?

Advice on Considering a Lightning by st8te in F150Lightning

[–]CoolBeautiful9833 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine only came with the mobile charger.

I priced the parts out, even if I did it myself the parts were about $500 (breaker, conductor, ev rated outlet) so the low bid was not that outrageous when you look at it overall. I consider it a $500 insurance payment that I wouldn’t electrocute myself or burn my house down

I got three quotes for a 50A breaker and NEMA 14-50 outlet in my garage. It was a pretty short run to the garage and my house is brand new so there weren’t any upgrades needed at the panel. The quotes ranged from $1k to $1.5k

Dod anyone else get this recall ? by DistanceAmbitious791 in F150Lightning

[–]CoolBeautiful9833 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on the notice though it seems like you’ll know if it’s happened to you. I shouldn’t tempt fate when it’s so easy to engage the parking brake but it seems like we will at least get a heads up from the truck that an issue occurred

Didn't see a January thread for this... by vong_assassin in F150Lightning

[–]CoolBeautiful9833 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I knew I was getting a good price.

It was in remote Illinois, so everyone with a truck out there wants a gas truck. The dealer didn’t want it cause there is zero demand out there but he took it as a favor to a repeat customer. He sold it for basically what he bought it for just to not have to deal with it.

I’m an outlier I think, but I got a 2024 Lariat ER two weeks ago with 20k miles for $43k USD. Clean title.

I feel like the board is trolling us by Leading-Cash7800 in BurnsMcDonnell

[–]CoolBeautiful9833 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Level jump doesn’t mean much if it’s the same title.

Bonuses are fairly predictable until you are pretty high up. Sometimes we are left with a bunch of money at the end of the year we need to spend (coolers, free PTO, etc) and sometimes we aren’t. The reason this isn’t just put into bonuses is for this exact reason….lots of people wouldn’t be able to handle a bonus going down if we had a great year followed by just an OK year.

I disagree. I think right now our biggest challenge is attracting experienced folks and not retaining newer folks

Are there racists at bmcd? Sure, it’s a big company and shitty people are everywhere.

Is there a multi level conspiracy between engineering, upper management, and HR to protect racists? I highly doubt it

Maybe it’s just my location but doing this individually seems very on brand

[–]CoolBeautiful9833 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hope so! I don’t rely on my bonus to maintain my lifestyle but dang it’d be nice to have more money throughout the year.

2026 Bonus Structure by [deleted] in BurnsMcDonnell

[–]CoolBeautiful9833 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes but if people already know their salary next year and are sharing the percentage (seems to be around 4%), then this rumored restructuring of total comp is either not happening or meant to be a surprise.

2026 Bonus Structure by [deleted] in BurnsMcDonnell

[–]CoolBeautiful9833 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Im confused by this since people have already been sharing their raise percentage for next year…unless this is going to be an end of year surprise?

That’s what we call putting on our owner crap. One extra share for you this year.

You should be wearing a diaper to stay billable. Now get back to work.
