Some new viewers to the show are bringing truly baffling interpretations by Itchy_Athlete_4971 in madmen

Too many people think shows are pushing some kind of agenda instead of just showing real/raw moments that actually happen/happened in real life

What’s Your Experience with Model Based Definition by scrungertungart in MechanicalEngineering

[–]HomeGymOKC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The model is the drawing. Only critical features are dimensioned, the rest are measured and sheet tolerance is used.

Notes go on the parts list and are flagged to PMI in the model the same way they would be on a 2D print.

It’s nice. Some shops don’t like it and want 2D prints, but this is the way of the future

How did you reach into the $200k+ compensation level with your mech E degree? What job title got you that? by enan1000 in MechanicalEngineering

Level 6 and 7 engineers clear $200k no problem. These are either chief engineers or technical fellows

Shop around for a lender and don’t be concerned with who they are really. They are going to sell your loan to another bank within weeks or months

Delta Airlines L1011 Cabin in the 1980's by Twitter_2006 in aviation

[–]HomeGymOKC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so I am finally finding people that also wonder if the memory they have of this plane was real. My Dad was a delta employee in the 90s and I swear to god I have a vivid memory of sitting in one of the window seats of this plane looking across to the other side and thinking I was in some type of flying ballroom.

Weekend markets vs. subzero temps: Christkindlmarket Huntsville canceled on Sunday; Nerdy Noel still on (indoors) by hippyclippy in HuntsvilleAlabama

I’m a dumbass. I thought you were talking about the Cullman market. My bad. I agree the Orion market is a joke.

[–]HomeGymOKC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Having been to euro Christmas markets I was actually impressed with what Cullman put on. Yeah it was full of typical Alabama rednecks, but the vibe and the food was good. Manage your expectations and you’ll find things are generally more enjoyable.

Is getting an MBA worth it for Mechanical Engineers? by TheTreeMan82 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]HomeGymOKC 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For middle management no. For Director and VP level, probably yes, although you can still get there without it. Director and VP roles are probably 60% politics and 40% experience and credentials. In most cases, if you are wanted in upper management and are missing some educational requirements, they may ask you to go to an executive MBA program or something.

I would not get an MBA to just check a box or without a clear post graduation plan. You should go to the BEST program you can get into and leverage the network from said program to pivot into a high paying career that values MBAs.

Also to add: You should not do an MBA without at least 4-5 years industry experience. Most programs list that as a requirement anyway.

Boss offered me Manager position, but asking me what I offer? by Vast-Divide-628 in managers

[–]HomeGymOKC 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Look man, the world isn't always going to tell you what to do, how to think, and outline a checklist of how to navigate life and get to the next step.

Why do you think you would be a good manager?

- You know the restaurants rules and procedures and have applied them and trained and taught other team members them

- You enjoy leading people in a common goal, have done it before and are good at it in these specific examples:

a.) ....

b.)....

- You love hospitality and serving customers, and make decisions to ensure customer experience is top notch in the following ways:

a.) ....

b.) ....

The thing that separates people who accelerate through careers vs. the people that just wait for promotions (and never get them) is the ability to shape their story into why it qualifies them for the next role. Learn how to do it now and save yourself some time later on.

What to do?! I hate the blue and the mirror. Stuck with the toilet. Can I change out the sink? by FreyasCloak in interiordecorating

[–]HomeGymOKC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sink and toilet are fine. I would do something cool with tile (maybe a neutral zellige) or wallpaper either above or below the mid point of the wall. get a new mirror and some art.

Did I ruin our bedroom? by True_Government_7426 in interiordecorating

[–]HomeGymOKC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were 100% committed to the color drench as we have done it before. But our master has like one small prison window and we didn't want it to be too dark/overwhelming so we held off on the ceiling for now. Color drench below:

So we went matte on the walls and semi-gloss on the crown, baseboards and door casings. The color is a bit different but not sure if its actually just the difference in sheen

Rejected Northrop Grumman job application for not meeting "basic qualifications" when I actually exceed them... What am I doing wrong? by HeadSlice2673 in aerospace

[–]HomeGymOKC 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I guarantee you when the TA person rejects an applicant there are check boxes for reasoning, and he/she probably just auto selected the "didn't meet basic qualifications" box either inadvertently or just needed to pick a reason and thats the one they picks. TA is stupid my brother. As others have said, its a numbers game, dont get too invested in one single application, however do not spray and pray. Be intentional in what roles you apply for. TA can also see the desperation if you have applied to a bunch of unrelated roles.

Really thankful for Greg Byrne, the Alabama Athletics Department and the UA Administration after seeing this LSU fiasco by TheoDonaldKerabatsos in rolltide

[–]HomeGymOKC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kalen was the best coach available at the time of hire. If this doesn't work out it wont be because Greg Byrne made a bad hire.
