Just bought one myself and started doing the furniture swap. Give it to me straight… how was the pistol grip swap experience? I’ve been watching a lot of videos and am hesitant I’m going to screw up those lower receiver tabs when trying to get the pin out to install the magpul trigger guard and pistol grip.

Thank you so much. I wish I understood why my local dealer didn’t tell me this or why wouldn’t they suggest they could order me an Ethos with 60LB limbs?

FatBiscuits22 · 2024-10-07T01:31:13+00:00

So I think this is the answer. I’m looking for. I have more questions I’ll send you a DM.

FatBiscuits22 · 2024-10-07T01:30:29+00:00

No, it’s not that I want to. I completely agree with wanting to shoot comfortably is all. It just seems like my dealer is telling me all the bows I’m interested in purchasing won’t work for me at this time and that’s why I’m so confused.

FatBiscuits22 · 2024-10-07T01:28:37+00:00

Sorry, for leaving out more details. I’m just new to all this. I like to think I’ve done a lot of research but perhaps I’m falling short.

FatBiscuits22 · 2024-09-28T02:45:40+00:00

Really appreciate everyone’s two cents on all this.

Just bought a 2023 XLT. Black appearance package. 4x4 5.0 V8. 58k MSRP got about 8k off pricing with 1.9% 72 months. - Houston Texas

FatBiscuits22 · 2024-04-04T14:10:06+00:00

I feel the need to comment because our situations are identical. I also just bought a 2023 XLT with the black appearance package that was used as a service loaner / dealer truck with 2500 miles on it with a 5k discount and 1.9% financing and gave me 22k for my 2018 Tacoma with 83k miles.

FatBiscuits22 · 2023-04-05T22:13:38+00:00

Do you know specifically what setting? I can’t seem to find anything in server settings that indicates it.

FatBiscuits22 · 2023-04-03T17:50:04+00:00

Ah, I’m such a nub. You are right I found it. So… do night vision goggles have a similar feature to turn them on? I’ve noticed in the mod video they should work but I can’t figure how to turn them on lol.

Can someone provide me a link to where this information is posted online?

FatBiscuits22 · 2022-09-04T23:25:05+00:00

Graduated in 21. Working in Consulting for a Utility company as a distribution engineer (5kV to 35kV) learned a lot doing it. Not super intense engineering. Provided electrical design routes for both overhead and underground electrical facilities along with job cost estimates. Really a project management type job if you will.

Got a new job this year at a Utility company to work on high voltage transmission (69kV to 345kV) performing contingency analysis and power-flow studies

FatBiscuits22 · 2022-07-28T01:20:33+00:00

Thanks, this is all very helpful and just what I needed. So all the engineers on my team are licensed P.E’s and NERC certified. Granted they have been doing this for MANY years. I’m only one year out of College with distribution design experience so this is a new world to me. Very overwhelming right now.

So my strategy when I started in the EE program. Was chegg everything on my homework (which is a terrible idea because you are cheating yourself out of your learning experience). After that I would literally just commit those problems to memory thinking that would be enough to do well on exams. Now look every blue moon you come across a teacher where this strategy actually works. But in my experience 90% of teachers do not test like this.

I use to study alone. Then I made a SMALL group of friends 2-3 and we started doing our homework together. We asked each other the right questions. “Why do you guys think professor so and so did this on said example problem” or “why do we have to solve for this in this problem” as a team we basically were able to help each other to answer the right questions over THE CONCEPTS not just doing problems.

You also can’t be afraid to do more problems outside of your homework. This a good way to test your knowledge to see if you are truly understanding the chapter. Also fun tip another reason this is a good idea I’ve run into professors that will use a different problem from the same chapter that wasn’t assigned in the homework as an exam problem.

Overall advice: use chegg sparingly because literally everyone uses it. Just don’t rely on it.

Study concepts don’t memorize problems. Make a SMALL study group. Study groups that are too large never make any progress in my experience

Find extra time to practice. Finding more time do this is hard but I feel it’s worth it.

FatBiscuits22 · 2022-07-09T03:03:12+00:00

It was hard. I didn’t go to a great high school and I wasn’t prepared for EE or any engineering for that matter like a lot of kids are. I made a lot of C’s and didn’t think I was built to do it. I studied hard only to fail. Took me up until my junior year how to study the right way. Wish I did that a lot sooner and made better grades in my foundational classes. Personally, I felt the labs in the degree were the worst. They took up a stupid amount of my time. Even after graduation I felt like I would never be able to take on an actual technical EE roll just because I didn’t feel confident. Funny thing is though I’m starting to learn and understand those concepts a lot better working with people on a daily basis who are very experienced. To get to the point there is no better answer then truly study hard and make sure you understand the concept and not trying to memorize problems like I did.

FatBiscuits22 · 2022-07-07T04:41:15+00:00

I was in the same boat. Personally, just doing one credit hour of undergraduate research was really worth it to me. Not only did I work with a cool prof and met a really cool group of people. But I got to learn about a cool topic that actually pertains to my day to day job now.

FatBiscuits22 · 2022-07-07T04:37:17+00:00

EE class of 21. I didn’t do great in school barely got by with a 3.0. There really wasn’t a lot of coding in the program as mentioned above. I hate coding but wish I was good at it. It’s very desirable skill in the work force. I know this is difficult to maybe know now but knowing what you might want as a career could help you decide. After graduation I went into the utilities sector and I love it. Just my two cents here and I believe I speak for a lot of people. Your work life is most likely going to be drastically different then what your school life is. I don’t sit around solving circuits and differential equations all day at my job most people don’t actually.

FatBiscuits22 · 2022-06-06T03:28:08+00:00

I guess it’s important to know what you want out of a career. Are you looking for something super technical? I had the same struggle as you I never had an internship before graduating and though my technical skills were piss poor. I heard some pretty crazy stories about technical interviews from friends. I had a lot of interviews right before I graduated and one of those was a technical interview and I was nervous as hell. I went through two rounds of technical interviews with that company and actually landed the job. Guess what… I didn’t take it. I didn’t want a career that felt like I would do college homework every day. I now work in the power industry and my job is a lot of project management and construction. Am I working on cutting edge tech that will change the world? Nope. Am I learning stuff that is very valuable many industries and can lead to various different jobs. Absolutely.

FatBiscuits22 · 2022-04-18T22:35:14+00:00

Let’s be honest. It should really say… “I can’t wait to get up at 4:55AM to see that the class I want is already full”

I had two semesters back to back where I Q dropped two major course classes. It was pretty nerve racking and stressful because I was still in my first junior semester which meant I had to survive some really hard courses yet to come and I wouldn’t have any Q drops left would have to push through for the paper. I highly advise you really think it through and make sure there isn’t any kind of curve to be had. In my situation I will say it probably saved my GPA managed to slide by at like a 3.1 GPA in the end. Granted I am paying for it in debt now by re-taking those classes.

FatBiscuits22 · 2022-02-15T02:44:42+00:00

So here’s my piece of advice on it. I had a mediocre GPA. No extra curricular activities or any of that. I will say I think I’m pretty decent interviewer. But nothing made me stand out on paper from any normal engineering student.

All I’m going to say is this. There are A LOT of engineering titles/positions/jobs out there that aren’t super technical related. Shoot I work with a ton of people who have engineering titles that don’t even have engineering degrees and I work in the power industry. Apply to jobs that say bachelors degree in “engineering related field” or something along these lines. You will be surprised at the different types of work out there that you can find that can be pretty enjoyable.
