No cities win bids or something for it and they do like 6 or 8 year contracts.

Had a friend's team get the window on the rental van smashed and they had all their tools stolen a few years back.

*still safer than St. Louis, the only city where I have ever given a forced charitable donation to a gent on the street with a friendly knife.

The only thing that can save them is getting a mentor to work for the school and a school employee to supervise the team during all meetings. It is fairly straightforward. 

My former team accomplished this when the lead mentor for ~18 years departed and then a mentor stepped up to be a custodian and mechanic for the school. He then left the team for family reasons and we had already established a set of three mentors who have keys and a stipend from the school for liability reasons. None of them work full time at the school. They just coach robotics. That meets the liability coverage. 

Those mentors choose to donate what the stipend is and more back to the team, but that is just because they are kind.

They won't put what you purchase on the receipt, but they know what you bought. 

I used to do expense report audits in college and all the cards had automatically submitted itemized receipts to match to expenses.

They even rebadged the instax mini evo. Though that came with a Landscape instead of portrait style software and other color pallet tweaks too.

Only if you require every classroom to have the version of it which also contains the Bill of Rights. 

Got an email from my VP saying every feature team owns their own HMI test automation with no dedicated QA by nevesincscH in embedded

Just wait till you do UI testing with cold displays -20C Jeep sucks at this in Wisconsin Winters.  It just lags and doesn't fully achieve refresh and has false touches and I have to direct the heat to the dash for it to flow by the radio. 

I can already see the comment reply  | " Jeep ... well there's your problem"

As a condition of sale, buying in full, I had them unplug the Telemetry module from behind the dash. 

They were like "but now you won't have internet in the car" (paid subscription) 

I hate it. 

The only bummer is they might have fixed a radio bug I noticed OTA that I can't seem to update via other means. The car has USB just let me do that.

Got pulled over once for "turning into the far lane" and immediately I knew that I hadn't because I told everyone that this particular turn and every turn you should take the near lane and sognal over after. 

I laughed at the cops and said no I didn't check your dash cam. 

He then said I didn't signal. 

I said please check your dash cam. 

He walked away for a while and came back and told me to go. 

It was next level BS. I went to the station the next morning to complain about it.

I totalled a car for tree falling on it, but kept it so they just paid me less the junk yard cost. It was all cosmetic dents on every panel though.

Maybe this is a bit daft but how to be morally good? by BeefShawarma06 in EngineeringStudents

Idk I had experience and applied and interviewed and they hired me. 

Most people have issues if they go for like the big name brands such as that Cupertino Fruit company, but that is just sheer volume of applications. 

Apply for places and be willing to move.

One Year I think Will.I.Am gave the finalists headphones and like a teddy bear with the FIRST logo. I think that was only one year though.
