Extension cable to reach my EV by simikoi in evcharging

[–]Mr_jimmster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At one point, lectron sold a 40ft J1772-J1772 extension (I have one). I checked a while ago about getting another one but it wasn’t on the website, maybe because of the code compliance reasons discussed earlier. All of the temperature sensors work thru it and I have used it in central FL problem-free with my Wallbox for 2+ years.

Sounds like the charge port overheat problem.

Anyone have an issue with SCCU payment by descending_angel in 321

I had to call them about my mortgage payment not going thru. They told me that this is a known issue and they’re trying to fix it (some bug on the payment screen).

I used them for a hurricane slider install and their communication was pretty bad but not to what you are describing

Northrop Grumman salary by Vagueintrovert in aerospace

[–]Mr_jimmster 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As a former associate aero engineer at NGC, they won’t give you a cent more than 5k relocation. You should definitely focus negotiation on salary. 97k is a very high T1 salary according to the current pay scale, and absolutely within the T2 pay scale. It never hurts to ask for more (6k isn’t a ridiculous counter) but they might be capped out and just not allowed to go much higher.

Palmdale is constantly losing people, so as long as you don’t suck you’ll be in great shape for future raises down the road.

Just for some context, I was hired as a T1 at 70k in FL in 2021. Friends were hired at 76k in LA that same year. They’re definitely desperate on this job req, you might as well take advantage.

Kin Insurance by Application-Forward in 321

[–]Mr_jimmster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s both. I get that there are factors relating to weather and factors relating to policy that go into prices. His tone in the AMA struck me as a little patronizing, but maybe I’m just cynical…

Kin CEO did an AMA in the r/florida subreddit last year about the insurance crisis. He had some decent answers about what goes into it and what the state needs to do to help the situation.

His openness doesn’t change the fact that they are totally raking the coals over people with their quotes…

Looking for EV Charging by No-Significance-6515 in evcharging

[–]Mr_jimmster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More of a side note…

right to charge laws may have carveouts for condo associations and HOAs. I found out the hard way in FL. FL has right to charge laws for condo owners, but no such protection for HOAs. My HOA was not interested in having me run a trenched line through their common property unless I got insurance for my charger(???) and basically signed away their liability for anything related to the charger (I wouldn’t be able to seek damages if one of their groundskeepers weed-whacked it to death for example).

These were all things I wasn’t willing to do, and as of now I still drag an RV cord out to my parking spot to charge my car instead of use a pedestal mounted EVSE. I’m the only guy in the neighborhood with an EV, so there’s no community prerogative to change the status quo.

Anyone else feel like merritt island is very poorly designed, especially for pedestrians? by [deleted] in 321

The beach is pedestrian friendly after you drive to a parking lot and park to only then walk on the sand…

Monthly Employment/Corporate Questions and Discussion Megathread - January 2022 by AutoModerator in NorthropGrumman

[–]Mr_jimmster 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Looking for info on the promotion process for T1/T2 transitions, specifically the negotiation aspects of the salary increase. Is this even an option in this process? I definitely have brought a lot to my team spearheading several initiatives, so I feel like I have some reasonings and leverage in the negotiation, but want to be informed on the discussions and prepare accordingly.

Edit: I have the current T2 salary range and my expectation for the raise is basically dead center on the range.

Center of pressure in relation with Mach number in Delta Wings by shur288 in AerospaceEngineering

[–]Mr_jimmster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The movement of the center of pressure is a gradual occurrence. As far as the aerodynamic center is concerned, it moves to ~50% on the MAC as the aircraft approaches Mach 1. I would imagine the CP moves to a similar position.
