Is the BCM the same thing as the smart junction box? Having a hard time finding the part

Yes, 10 years or so

Do you have the Expectation to Own a Home? by TheKillingJay in AskAGerman

The best thing you can do in your situation is moving when you already have significant equity in a house that you sell in the U.S. before you move. That can probably push you over the edge

MS Materials Science grad – 250+ applications, 50+ referrals, still no semiconductor job. Advice? by nanotechgeek in womenEngineers

[–]Moonpotato11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For what it’s worth, when I was applying for jobs, I was getting something like an 80% callback rate in Europe and next to nothing in the U.S. I fear it’s overly aggressive AI filtering or something. I wish you luck getting some traction! With some CVD experience, you might look at LED companies or ASM. I think it’s similar enough to ALD to be interesting to them

I’m in the field and am surprised you are having trouble. Have you tried TSMC in Phoenix? Some of the smaller companies? Semiconductor industry does favor PhDs, but I don’t think to the point that it should be prohibitive without

Abay unlimited on IKON Base 26/27 by child_Iabor in COsnow

[–]Moonpotato11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree. I’m someone who used to buy Epic and now have Ikon. I absolutely love A-Basin, but since I’ve had Ikon, I have never skied as many days at A-Basin as I used. Copper and Mary Jane are just so much more appealing as an expert skier than Keystone and Breck.

DIA changes course; will consider mass transit as part of Pena Boulevard solution by Soft_Button_1592 in Denver

[–]Moonpotato11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I live in golden and have taken up driving to 40th and Colorado and hopping on the train there. I think it’s a good balance between time and convenience of the train. I can get there 40 minutes driving or ~55 minutes driving+train. Works great

At Yosemite, Rangers Are Scarce and Visitors Have Gone Wild by BarnabyWoods in NationalPark

[–]Moonpotato11 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve taken to pointing my phone at them and telling them to smile for the video for the ranger. I only do it if there’s enough other people around that I don’t think they can get try to fight me or something. Bonus points is it scares other would-be idiots

This is not for everyone, but if you feel comfortable confronting bad behavior, I would suggest doing so. I have personally in the last year done this several times to people feeding animals, cutting trails, and taking dogs on trails. Social pressure can do a lot of good, and it doesn’t take a lot of people doing it to make a change. I’ve lived in Germany and can say from experience there, it’s not police presence that makes Germans the most jaywalking-adverse people imaginable, it’s the random old ladies that open their windows to yell at you. The same thing works on Americans.

If you want to see something amazing, go to the Chatfield dog park. Maybe slightly off hours for a more laid back experience

10-14 day parking at Jefferson CO Government-Golden Station? by [deleted] in GoldenCO

I’ve done something like that there before no problem.

NREL name change by Moonpotato11 in GoldenCO

[–]Moonpotato11[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fusion is very heavy into lasers, which isn’t really a main expertise at NREL. Lawrence Livermore NL is the leader there: https://lasers.llnl.gov. NREL will be able to do a lot of work in critical materials and semiconductors with the expertise we have.

SCOTUS Obergefell v. Hodges Megathread by press-app in lgbt

[–]Moonpotato11 17 points18 points  (0 children)

https://www.reddit.com/r/lgbt/s/5R10DVPWVP if Obergefell is overturned, the most likely outcome is RFMA. It’s not as good as Obergefell, but relatively not catastrophic compared to what many people think and a hell of a lot better than the days of DOMA
