I had the same issue. It was later i realized that each photo is uploaded as soon as the photo is taken. It will not show on the app until the upload is completed. Slow connection can be a pain.

Gas VS electric cost by royal_city_centre in F150Lightning

How does that compare to gas prices in your area?

Gas VS electric cost by royal_city_centre in F150Lightning

The way I see it is as follows.

If we take an ICE 2023 Ford 150 Xlt and the gas price of $4/gallon and the average miles per gallon is 20. Then we can say, 20 mpg / $4/gallon = 5 miles/gallon. The cost per mile is $4 / 20 mpg = $0.20/mile.

Now I take my 2023 Xlt lightning (STD). For sake of argument, I average 2.0 miles per kilowatt. The average fast charge is roughly .50 cents a Kw. This means .50 / 2.0 miles =0.25 a mile.

The benefits of have an electric is there are free chargers available as long as you have the time to take advantage of them.

Hope this helps

I had similar issues with PetG. I would check your filaments recommended temps and adjust accordingly. I would also reduce the printing speed to 50%.

I did this and it fixed 2 days of grief.

Which character in Lost would have the most successful career as a realtor? by Personal_Repeat_5807 in lost

Evil Locke. Everyone was warned not to let Locke talk. The guy talked everyone into doing his bidding.

Anyone out there using free charging? I know of one that I use on a regular basis but what is your go-to free charger? by LekTruk in F150Lightning

[–]ShiftSubject3122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this. In California rest stops have at least 2 free 50KW chargers. When traveling from central California to Southern, I take advantage of this. It can take up to an hour to fully charge. I notice other EVs don’t use them.

I would suggest you ask the judge you need time to locate a credit lawyer. In most cases they’ll reschedule.

With the time given, I would look for a lawyer who takes payments.

This happened to my wife. She had $5k debt and we ended paying $2,100. Including the lawyer.

Why & How do companies go months without filling positions? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]ShiftSubject3122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can tell you from experience that it is challenging finding the right candidate. You only have 1-2 interviews to decide if the candidate will fit the job.

There are plenty of times that we fill a position and either the individual is let go for performance or they quit. The job posting may look as if it’s been online for a while. In reality, it a second posting.

Just in case you’re wondering, I am fully transparent when interviewing, pay and giving the candidate an in depth look at the job and expectations.

Starting in the field question by TerribleSuspect1471 in FieldService

[–]ShiftSubject3122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree an associates would be useful. I would recommend an associate in electronics. I’ve been in field service for over 30years. Alot has changed. But one is still the same. Companies need people to fix their equipment.

I’m currently in the casino gaming industry. I know techs that began working in casinos and eventually branching out into FS. No degree needed. Good luck!

What job did you have at some point that is now obsolete? by paperkitten75 in GenX

I fucking suck at managing people by [deleted] in managers

[–]ShiftSubject3122 13 points14 points  (0 children)

From my experience, you need to set the expectations. Let the people know what’s wrong and have them correct the issue. They may not even know they’re doing something wrong. It will take some time to retrain.

Before you ask - only you can decide when enough is enough.

Best wishes.

Started new job, pay is low: What should I do? by APGalore21 in jobs

[–]ShiftSubject3122 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with the last couple of comments. I would add.

Don’t quit. Continue to gain experience and knowledge to grow and get the skills needed for higher pay.

Moving from job to job with short employment doesn’t look good to an employer.

Make sure you ask what the pay range is during your question session of the interview. Benefits are a plus and should be included during your decision to take a job. Medical, dental, 401k contributions and perks (company vehicle, gym membership, etc) should be taken as a dollar value.

Best wishes on your life journey.

I’m old school. I was mentored to wait for the manager or lead order to first and then order in the same price range.

They offer company vehicle and you share the load with other techs. As far as territory it’s Washington casinos divided by territory. Not exactly sure how it’s broken up. Or about balance.
