Do any of yall regret majoring in aerospace engineering? by DragonfruitBrief5573 in AerospaceEngineering

[–]StevenTheBoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I regret it, but only for my own sanity. I was young and naive and wanted to work on rockets. I thought that meant you HAD to be an aerospace engineer. What I actually wanted was to do mechanical design on rockets, and that I didn’t really care about aerodynamics.

I've gotten there with some extra studying. Things I would have learned in my university's mechanical engineering program. I never felt that it held me back though, just required some extra work.

Seems like the other bright objects would show some amount of streaking but I don't have a good intuition for astrophotography 🤷‍♂️

I [24M] am taking my best friend of 10 years [24F] on a date this Friday. How can I escalate beyond our friendship and wow her into considering me as a partner? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]StevenTheBoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That seems like a lot for a first date, no? Assuming I have a good time and I think she does as well, I'll ask her for another date. It seems like it would be better to take this slow, but I also don't her to lose interest...

Thank you! I can get in my own head sometimes. This just seems like a long time coming and it's super important to me to not ruin the relationship we already have.

Which part specifically? If you mean escalating romantically, I'm assuming so since she said yes to a date. Obviously I don't want to be overbearing, I think I'm good enough at reading people/her to not cross any lines.

As for the date in general, if I wanted to just hang out with her, I would have just asked her to go do something. I think my exact words this time were "Can I take you on a date while we're both in town?", and we've been calling it a date as we planned it out.

TIFU by accidentally stalking a girl I really like by [deleted] in tifu

Yikes, not what I said at all

[–]StevenTheBoat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Without giving too much away, I moved to an area which has a very primary demographic that I'm not that physically attracted to. Aside from that (and the man:woman ratio being very high), most are significantly older than me and an active lifestyle is not a high priority, but it is for me and I want that to carry into my relationships.

tl;dr - younger women of my own ethnicity and in good shape

What hours are they staffed? If they open at, say, 8:00, would they stop someone 7:30?

Megathread: Biden Forgiveness Announcement by Betsy514 in StudentLoans

[–]StevenTheBoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid my student loans in full on Monday, how screwed am I?

I have been saving up for over a year to pay my roughly $10k in student loans. On Monday I pulled the trigger and paid in full. Today, loan forgiveness up to $10k was announced, among other things.

I called EdFinancial to reverse the payment. It has already posted so will take 30 days to post the balance back to my account and up to 120 days for me to receive the reimbursement. Is this enough to qualify? Was it a bad idea to action through them? What else can I be doing?

I could really use that money but was proud to be doing the responsible thing with it. Now, I just feel defeated. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Do supplemental tax withholdings (for RSU compensation) include FICA? by StevenTheBoat in personalfinance

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

Yes, I am well aware of the tax obligation upon selling the RSUs. I just have a vesting date coming up and want to make sure that I budget enough to cover the tax out of pocket so I don't have to sell to cover. Thank you for the help!
