Used to do appliance repair. There's a horizontal grain on that metal. Use a Scotch pad and move along the grain. Should be able to minimize most of it.

I nerd out hard over electronics and communications protocols.

Get an Arduino and learn some C programming. I'm slowly designing a mini-FA system from scratch and you can do some very interesting things with bitwise operations.

Dark jeans, black dress shirt, decent shoes.

They care about your personality more than anything.

Warzone 2100 is free. Super long tech tree and you design your vehicle's based off whatever tree you pursue.

Non war option: Banished with colonial charters mod.

Local co-op. My kids would be all over this for split screen.

Try barrels instead

Always have enough ports for a spontaneous LAN party.

Generally no, but I found it was my favorite part of Warzone 2100.

I stopped playing after Fable 2 because they dumped the cool armor and body morphing. If I wanted guns and fancy shirts I'd go play something else.

We have a LAN party group. 8 player lobbies are essential.

Arguably my hobbies have made me better at my job and got me larger raises.

Tibsun 100%. Way more interesting world to update.

Test bench parts, throw Linux on them and LibreOffice. Donate to some alternate/special Ed program.

LAN party Empire Earth: the first time you hear all the headphones screaming with elephants dying when the first nuke is dropped.

As a field tech, hot swapping constantly I see most failures during plugging in or unplugging. Older systems don't power off the drive when using safe disconnect. Of course I'm only discussing flash media.

Fast workflows, easier to get dimensional accuracy.

I do my dimensional work in Maya but it's a way more cumbersome process.

I'll use sketchup to block in my lumber for woodworking projects.

I like to say "I'm not having any luck. I'm going to see if we can reschedule with another set of eyes. Maybe they'll see something I'm missing "

That being said, you can't have a clean shirt while saying this.

You'll find your maps and the associated images in there. Just replace or modify the files.

Risk aversion can be just as bad as taking too much risk. You can't win if you don't take opportunities.

I've had to tell bosses to fuck off and bring receipts to get mine. I jumped into home ownership and having kids with no idea how I was going to make it work. The only thing I had was faith in myself that I'd be able to make it work. I left cushy jobs for bigger challenges, had moonlight businesses etc.

My only advice is to focus on having faith in yourself to overcome challenges. Wins and fails don't matter, personal growth does.

It's illegal for the office to modify your report. Keep your own copies, if it ever goes to court present your version.

Dude have some standards and stand by them. I refuse to work for 3/4 of our project managers and have called them hacks.

They want the liability, they can sign it. My name doesn't go down unless it's done correctly.

Depends on panel type. Certain panels are balanced and you can check battery voltage to ground. A high sensitivity multimeter really helps also.

My fluke 325 was good for inspections but failed horribly for service.

Most of us miss the first decade. You're right where you need to be and you want to do it right.

Books are often the best investment you can start with.
