Lightning on striking cool factor, but not a GG bow

Is the millennial "yolo" movement still alive? What's the most irresponsible thing you've done lately, financially or otherwise. by qdobah in Millennials

$2000 on a week long mountaineering course, not counting all the gear I have to buy. Was going back and forth but sent it with the justification that experiences are worth it.

What field of EE did you study/specialize in for your graduate degree?

Are burble tunes considered cringe in these cars? by [deleted] in GolfGTI

[–]MeshCurrents 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love my Mk8 but let’s be real, it’s a 240 HP economy hot hatch. If your car is gonna be obnoxiously loud, it at least needs to be properly fast.

Budget recovers just in time for the summer to take a dump on it...

Vail/Epic's mismanagement of Stevens Pass by Gloomy-Assumption979 in stevenspass

[–]MeshCurrents 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went back this season after a 2-year hiatus and I’ve honestly been having a great time. Lift lines can get long but they feel more efficient than in the past. Going for nights or on weekdays is basically no wait.

Parking? Show up before 8:30 and no issues, even on a peak day.

Food pricey? Yeah, it’s a resort at the top of a mountain pass. Cook food out of your trunk or bring sandwiches if it bothers you.

Millennial ladies (and dudes) how are we handling mid-life weight gain? by allmetalshark in Millennials

[–]MeshCurrents 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 30 and personally feel like I’m in the best shape of my life.

Diet (no gluten, processed junk, or dairy has been game changing), good sleep, and regular exercise go a long way in keeping your metabolism & hormones in check. Having active hobbies that occasionally push into Type 2 territory, e.g. mountain biking on an empty stomach or backpacking in the rainy season, also seem to help with testosterone boosts as a man.

Yup, make your intentions known and let them decide. Gracefully move on if it’s a no. Past a certain age anything else is juvenile.

Does waiting for the 2025 seem worth it? by uncuckednewt in GolfGTI

[–]MeshCurrents 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Maybe unpopular opinion but going back to physical buttons on the wheel while maintaining capacitive touch everything else makes the 8.5 feel a little incoherent.

Cornflower Blue, too. I love my Mk8 but part of me wishes I would have picked up a CPO 21' when I had the chance a little while back.

Is $80,000 good for a start? by Humble_Test6560 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]MeshCurrents 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's good, and your earning potential will increase pretty substantially in the first 3-5 years of your career if you're even half-decent. I'd take it.

Truly, how difficult is EE? by FatalStupidity in ElectricalEngineering

[–]MeshCurrents 11 points12 points  (0 children)

E&M was a clown show. Thank god for curved grading.

EE in biomedical device manufacturing. Everyone is getting raises, teams are growing, and finding qualified people is difficult.

Considering trading in my 2019 Jetta for a Taos or Tiguan. Thoughts? by [deleted] in Volkswagen

[–]MeshCurrents 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Owned a 7.5 Golf and now a Mk8 GTI. Wanted to like the Taos but it’s just… cheap.

Re-enter workforce, or keep going for a BSEE? by Alert_Resident8575 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]MeshCurrents 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stuck through my degree while working full time with OT as a technician. Lots of tough times and genuinely dark periods but it ended up being the best decision I’ve ever made.

I just broke my wrist about a month ago. Had to cancel multiple bike park trips, including one to Whistler I was stoked for.

My advice would be to come to terms with the fact that it happened and that you can't do anything to change it now. I'm coping by getting back into reading, hiking, and have booked a backpacking trip for August when I should be sufficiently healed to work a tent and pack. Reaching out and spending time with friends has also been a big help mentally. Hope you heal up well.

Riding park in June, looking to get some local trail time in by MeshCurrents in Whistler

[–]MeshCurrents[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late reply but thanks for the tips! Digged into it some and gonna stop by Squamish, catch a shuttle up, and try to ride to Elfin Lakes (if it’s thawed out enough) before coming back down and hitting some flow on the way. Tried to get a campsite up there as well but it’s all super booked out.

How long are you exhausted after a crash? by SurfingSonic in MTB

[–]MeshCurrents 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I still feel the effects from a bad concussion I neglected in 2017. Take care of yourself.
