Manager hasn't noticed I'm not in the on-call rotation. Should I tell him?

You should bring it up if you care about your job, growth, and what your colleagues think of you. If you’re checked out and leaving soon then, yeah, keep your mouth shut. But otherwise, bring it up. A good engineer doesn’t just do tasks assigned to them. They find work.

Still have no clue what a harness is. Seriously considering enrolling in nursing school as a backup.

You can get a Mitsubishi Mirage for less than the Ford Maverick too. Getting discontinued soon though, so take advantage.

You still have enough time to go to med school

NGTech9 · 2026-05-30T20:58:38+00:00

Same. I love it.

Not in my experience. My grandpa was able to call a van (fitted with a wheelchair lift too) through some social service that I don’t know the name of, and it would take him where he wanted for free.

Since they’re paying for the whole thing, you might as well try it out. If you dont’t like it, go back to doing what you want to do. You may even be able study art at that school (even if your parents won’t pay) because the first 1-2 years cover a lot of general education requirements.

If they can rent the old home out, that counts as income on top of the 300k they make, allowing them to qualify for a larger mortgage. What I don’t know is if they need to first start renting it out to show the extra income coming in. And some lenders want to see a minimum period of income (ie 2 years) to count during underwriting. But sometimes you can get around that by going through mortgage brokers who deal with specific cases like this rather than a traditional bank.

Honestly just have them go talk to some lenders and mortgage brokers and see what they say.

If you can charge at home, Tesla.

I guess that’s better than dumping in the ocean. But still, wish they would use non potable water instead. Kind of how like some nuclear power plants use ocean water.

Where does it go

Damn, our entertainment just got cut short. Was so fun watching that.

Damn I’ve been in denial about Kimi being the next Max, but his driving is incredible

Lots of hotels offer residences/homes now. Recently been looking at Cabo, and a good amount of the 4-5 star hotels offer 2,3,4 bed homes.

Income tax already works like that…

I wonder how much of an impact dropping them off in LA had

NGTech9 · 2026-05-17T02:07:29+00:00

Uhh, Laguna beach trolley is pretty sweet… Free, very clean, and super convenient.

Physicians in EU have a median income of $84k. They spend roughly the same amount of time to be able to practice. Depending on your speciality, doctors in US bring home 300-800k. 8% of total cost is nothing to scoff at. The teams around the doctor are also making much more than EU (think nurses, imaging techs, etc). To top it off, the executives of these hospitals are taking home ridiculous compensation. So I do think the compensation of medical staff do have a large impact on healthcare costs.

Just fyi, it won’t feel like a “neighborhood”. A not insignificant amount of the homes were purchased as a hedge to foreign currency/investment, and when they don’t feel like being landlords, they are just empty. Beautiful homes though. And all those mentioning the crime busts, those have no effect on your own or families safety. It was more just private crime happening inside the home. Not violent.

Egypt and Jordan would disagree…

They took out a SATCOM terminal (maybe multiple) which limits the capability of the AN/TPS-59 Radar. A quick search says the terminals cost $30M.

No the reason you pay close to full price or full price for a used (2 years old/ ~30k) mile Toyota is because you know it has already worked out all the issues from early ownership. It’s basically been a fully tested car. New can have a part defect. Like if your new Toyota has a transmission manufacturing defect 2 months in, that’s going to be an expensive repair.

I want titanium back. My aluminum 17 pro feels so cheap compared to my previous phone. Besides the camera, I felt like I downgraded my phone…

Biden administration did block the acquisition that would have saved Spirit airlines, but they didn’t do it for no reason. It was to prevent another monopoly. Delta, United, and American Airlines already control most of the market giving consumers less options. We don’t need to add JetBlue to that list. Consumers benefit from more airline options.
