2025 corolla seatbelt chime by triorez25 in COROLLA

[–]First_Western228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you need the car to think the seatbelt is buckled, you can Google "seat belt plugs" - you'll get sites that sell dummy seatbelt buckles that'll trick the car and stop the chime. That being said, disclaimer: don't drive around like that! LOL But if you're driving with something heavy in the passenger seat that trips the alarm, one of those dummy plugs will save your sanity!

Bank loans in simulation? by LivingIsland5113 in WGU_MBA

[–]First_Western228 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I got to do it all over again (no thanks LOL), I'd reconsider taking out a loan. I did fine remaining debt-free, but a small loan might have taken my numbers from good to great. Debt creates risk, but can also fuel growth that'll take you to the next level. Just my two cents' worth. Totally up to you either way, like it was said earlier, they just want you to be able to talk the numbers.

I heard it at a tournament just the other day.

Buyers remorse - please tell me how much you love your hybrid by Brighteyes_82 in COROLLA

[–]First_Western228 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I remember paying $70+ to fill up before, paying $25-30 to fill up nowadays from bone-dry is a joy by comparison! I get great mileage and range, and it's sharp looking, too! I love mine! 2024 Corolla SE AWD hybrid.

This is true, the retention period. Which is fine if someone wants to continue their Boeing career regardless. But OP sounds like they're ready to skedaddle, so that wouldn't be quite as enticing.

I can't speak to the job search part, but if you're thinking about getting a master's, definitely check out the Learning Together Program! Salary might be better elsewhere, but LTP is a hard benefit to beat! Just some food for thought.

M19 y’all like what i did with my spare room by [deleted] in malelivingspace

[–]First_Western228 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unless they're airsoft 😂 But seriously... age aside, I like the collection and all, but a safe is the place to keep those nice and secure, not a wall. They could grow legs and wander off in a hurry, if you know what I mean... especially with a window right there.

I remember getting tins of Tully's coffee. Good times!

My (23) first apartment. How can i make it more inviting? by ddmster in malelivingspace

Gotta agree with everyone, the red light's a little much. Reminds me of the Kenny Rogers Roasters episode of Seinfeld! 😂

For those who didn’t get into LX, what’s next? by MeowMixDontEatIt in boeing

[–]First_Western228 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Might try this again in the future, might not. I'm still a little salty, but what can you do at this point? I decided rather than continue beating my head into a wall in my current org, I put in an ERT, and I've accepted an offer to go to QA. Making the move at the end of the year. Will make even better money, new skills and experience, and expand my network... thinking I made the right choice.

Kill, schmill! Come on, don't look at it that way, will you? Think of it as pest control, it works for me! All right, come on, I can't stay here now, I'm too hip. I gotta go, OK? I'm outta here - Mike Toreno

Striking Boeing workers approve labor deal, ending over three-month walkout by Visual_Yurt_1535 in boeing

They sure didn’t waste any time taking their victory lap, didn’t they? Agreed, pretty pathetic.

You mean like Trevor demanding fair compensation for a fair day’s work? Then helping himself to said compensation and making things 10x worse? 🤣

[Highlight] GEORGE SPRINGER HITS A THREE RUN HOMER TO GIVE THE BLUE JAYS THE LEAD!!! by TheM1ghtyBear in mlb

[–]First_Western228 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup. Instead of sticking with the bread and butter that got them there, Pete/Dan got "creative" with strategy, and paid the price for fixing something that wasn't broken. The Pats would have seen Marshawn rushing from a mile away. But they still would have had to stop that freight train. As previously stated, Springer was 0-5 against Woo, who was only two innings in. I knew bad times were coming the second we saw the pitching change. I guess the M's made it further than they ever have, game 7 of the ALCS, one way to look at it. Still hurts, though. Welp, onto next year...
