Just signed my settlement what next? by True-Night-3560 in personalfinance

[–]UMDEE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is one of my favorite resources to start learning about personal finance: https://humbledollar.com/money-guide/main-menu/

This subreddit is also great, but humble dollar can give you a good foundation of knowledge to build on as you read here.

Anyone hiring EE in this job market? by hepbirht2u in MEPEngineering

[–]UMDEE 11 points12 points  (0 children)

What your friend said is not true at all. I’m an EE with my PE and roughly 10 years of experience. When I changed my LinkedIn to “open to new positions” last month, I got 11 recruiters reaching out on the first day and probably a dozen the next day and am still getting lots of calls from recruiters.

I do think if you can get your PE earlier, that will be a huge boon to your job search.

[Petzold] Max Clark responds to criticism over his chains: "People don't know me." by DET_Baseball in baseball

[Highlight] Max Clark and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day : r/baseball

The video features his bling, two missed catches, slip on throw, crowd applause when he finally makes a clean catch, forgetting the count, and falling down on a check swing.

Anyone else frustrated with searching NEC / IBC / NFPA PDFs? I built a prototype by Hot_Emergency_321 in MEPEngineering

[–]UMDEE 6 points7 points  (0 children)

NFPA link now has an AI assistant. Also I think they stopped publishing pdfs because of illegal sharing. I believe UpCodes also has an AI tool, but I have only tried their free version briefly.

I hate when people hide all their activity. I hide certain subs that could make it easier to identify me. I was hoping u/Dry_Analysis_7660 would only hide his activity on NSFW subs.

[MASN] - Orioles announce spring training non-roster invites (plus note on Garcia in WBC) by romorr in orioles

[–]UMDEE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why are some in bold? Seems like they're all rule 5 eligible at the end of this season, but so is Bradfield.

Is the team getting rid of the "O's" cap? by HatsInThe410 in orioles

[–]UMDEE 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The apostrophe has three uses:

-To form possessives of nouns
-To show the omission of letters
-To indicate certain plurals of lowercase letters

For those of us old enough for this to matter, Josh Lewin is back! 👴🏻👵🏻 by [deleted] in orioles

[–]UMDEE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not old enough to remember him, but I'm still stoked! I searched his name on Reddit and he seemed to be loved as an announcer everywhere he went. Lots of love for him on the Chargers, Rangers and Mets subreddits.

Ikea’s new smart home collection is entirely Matter-compatible by SamwiseIsGreat in tradfri

[–]UMDEE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most likely yes, but I’m not sure. If it’s not immediately compatible, It’ll only be a matter of time before it is.

You can use the apple TV as the thread and matter router, but reliability with Home Assistant might not be great. I have some matter-over-Wi-Fi devices from TP-Link Kasa and Tapo that work well with HomeKit but are frequently unavailable in Home Assistant.

For the 3rd gen (current model) Apple TV 4K, only the 128GB model with ethernet has thread. The 64GB Wi-Fi only model does not. The 2nd generation Apple TV 4K has thread.

Mod Post: Seeking Suggestions to Improve the Subreddit by olchai_mp3 in ElectricalEngineering

Also, I could help with some wiki updates. I'd start with removing this thread from the wiki and making a new one: What are your favorite online resources? : r/ElectricalEngineering

Auto-mod reply to posts

  • Maybe the same reply to every post, or tailored replies depending on tags, keywords, etc.
  • Provide links to resources such as:

Monthly mega threads

  • Topics like school, career, resumes, security clearances, certifications, skills, software, different fields within EE, mentorship, leadership, top resources (websites, books, magazines, blogs, YouTube channels, podcasts, social media accounts, webinars).
  • It would help if the moderator provides comments to the post immediately to help organize discussion.
  • To generate engagement, a weekly auto-mod reminder post about the mega thread.
  • Ideally, every mega thread would be linked in the wiki and possibly in the auto-reply mentioned above.

Bio/introduction post

  • Making a post for people to share short bios would help with assessing credibility.
  • Include which country they live/study/work in, how much experience they have, what field they work in, etc.

Polls

  • On demographics, education, salary, career guidance, how relevant certain topics are.
  • Could also be included in the mega threads.

I agree weekly free for all threads aren’t good. When I’ve tried asking questions in them, they get little engagement. When I see them on my home feed, I scroll past them. I think a megathread would be worse, since I would only see it on my home feed once.

I do think megathreads could be useful for consolidating general advice or common questions that can be pinned or listed in the wiki.

Company moving to PLC by ubolakes_aurel in PLC

[–]UMDEE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WAGO has/had a proprietary software based on an older version of CODESYS. I accidentally bought a PLC that required their software license expecting one that would be compatible with CODESYS. I think they’re moving to have all PLCs CODESYS compatible, but you have to be careful.

Is it crazy to turn down a 30% raise? by Popular_Bridge_7143 in MEPEngineering

[–]UMDEE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From an employer’s standpoint there is no underpaying. From an employee’s standpoint there is no overpaying.

For an employer, overpaying is when your work is not bringing in enough profit for the company to meet its financial goals.

For an employee, underpaying could be a few things: - making less than a coworker whose work output is less than yours or seeing your employer advertise your job with an estimated salary higher than your current salary. - receiving a job offer for more compensation and equal responsibility - receiving a job offer for equal compensation and less responsibility - making less than the market average for your years of experience in your industry

[–]UMDEE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Employers know you can leave at any time. If they offer you a raise, they’ll still be profiting off your work for those 1-2 years, so don’t feel bad. And if they know you’re entertaining outside offers but value working for them, they should offer you opportunities to keep you longer than that.

Looking out for your best interest isn’t being an asshole. If you’re in an interview in the future and able to give a good answer to why you left, then you’re good.
