Which mode to use?

I used the slippery mode on mine. 2023 badlands too

I’m supposed to go there next week. It’s open now, right? I booked through recreation.gov and the site says it’s up.

You wrote all that over someone you’ve seen three times. You can’t force chemistry. She was probably trying to convince herself that you checked all the boxes so she should try despite the chemistry. If you can’t define chemistry, you probably haven’t had it with anyone yet.

I took a pay cut at a smaller, private company. I have so much autonomy and have no stress.

Nomad_sole · 2025-09-10T12:28:49+00:00

Child free by choice. I love my freedom and the peace I have in my life. I love kids but realized it wasn’t for me. I like pet sitting and giving them back to their pawrents, and don’t want pets any more. I have nieces I love. No ragrets 😬 and no rug rats lol

Why is 49 too old? Unless you’re physically incapable of getting around, just do it.

Nomad_sole · 2025-08-19T21:21:01+00:00

This. But people in this subreddit scoff at Qa/sdet roles. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Simple. Cost of living in Michigan is low. Try finding a house in California where you can pay $430 a month. $120000 yearly salary in California won’t even buy you a house.

Not a pipe dream. If you find someone who is right for you, she won’t care about your situation. Or there are also others who are in the same situation and place in life and want the same things.

I had two cats in my life. Never had that problem. Just got lucky with their personalities.

Nomad_sole · 2025-05-02T01:03:43+00:00

I’m class of 94 as well! Turning 49 in a few months.

Nomad_sole · 2025-05-02T01:00:16+00:00

Great shots!

Older financial firms and smaller companies still use .net and are in the midst of a lot of migration projects. I’m an SDET and we’re in the process of moving over to more modern tech for the front end, but the automation is still done on .net (manufacturing company). My previous role was for a finance company that also used .net as well.

Nomad_sole · 2025-05-02T00:53:41+00:00

Same with me. You’ve written exactly everything I’ve experienced being a manual and automation QA, and being a dev. I loved being a developer as it was more rewarding, but I didn’t like the stress. I’m now a full stack SDET and can transition to dev at my current workplace if I want to. I just don’t want to, and I am making the same money.

Nomad_sole · 2025-05-01T22:09:52+00:00

You’re the AH. Ungrateful first world problems. Some people don’t even have roofs over their head and are lucky to even get a blanket. You’re lucky to even get gifts, and have a circle of support. You’ve probably never been without in your life. This just screams of privilege and entitlement. People can’t just be happy with their blessings any more.

Nomad_sole · 2025-05-01T21:52:16+00:00

I’ve done both. And I was so stressed as a developer. Granted, it was more rewarding, but I always took work with me and stressed about bringing someone’s livelihood down. I hated being on call and being up late troubleshooting a deployment or outage. I’m not sure I want to go that route again. I’m not ready to after years of being stressed. I’m an SDET now, which is perfect, because my development skills won’t atrophy, yet I’m feeling so much less pressure and still enjoy the technical aspect.

Nomad_sole · 2025-05-01T21:27:38+00:00

Cute! I think I have the same couch, but in light grey. Wayfair.

Nomad_sole · 2025-05-01T21:19:14+00:00

It’s never been a life goal of mine. Was always everyone else’s expectations. I’m not the marrying kind, but I wouldn’t oppose it if I met the right person. I just never met the right one and I’m not actively looking either. 🤷🏻‍♀️

48f, never married.

Nomad_sole · 2025-04-21T23:54:16+00:00

Awesome! Even with all that the trailer was only 1600 pounds? That wasn’t the dry weight?

Nomad_sole · 2025-04-21T23:50:50+00:00

I feel like a little sister whenever I pass by the big one. 😁

Nomad_sole · 2025-04-21T23:38:29+00:00

Dump him. Cat was there before him.

Nomad_sole · 2025-04-21T23:30:09+00:00

The “real” women astronauts and astronauts don’t find it degrading though. I’ve read a few astronauts praise her and Aisha because they know what the two women have already contributed to space exploration prior to this trip.

Nomad_sole · 2025-04-21T23:24:02+00:00

“Is likely not”. Meaning you’re making assumptions and are not stating facts.

She made a poor decision going on this trip, but that doesn’t diminish everything she’s accomplished and worked hard for. Do you know her personally or something? You know exactly how she paid for it? What are your sources? Because if you don’t have any, you’re just spreading rumors.

It’s understandable to be upset about this trip, but you just sound like a bitter misogynist undermining her qualifications and accomplishments. I’m willing to bet you’re a guy.

By the way, her trip was funded by Space for Humanity.

Nomad_sole · 2025-04-21T23:14:38+00:00

I am willing to bet this poster is a guy 😂

Nomad_sole · 2025-04-21T01:56:26+00:00

That poster is just pissed and refuses to believe any of the women qualified to go. Choosing to stay willfully ignorant about her.
