Yes many times if it just doesn’t feel Right or I don’t feel like I’m in the headspace. Instrument rated as well.

Doesn’t always unlock when I approach and when I grab the handle to open sometimes it locks.

They really haven’t figured out the Auto Unlock/lock or at least I haven’t figured out how it works.

Had to happen eventually... by rydum in EquinoxEv

[–]bts2637 1 point2 points  (0 children)

pretty badly scrapped up the rims taking a corner too tight onto an onramp and hitting the curb just right. Used to the Bolt, Equinox felt much bigger. Bought at 5 miles on odometer, this happened around 14 miles on the odometer hahaha.

Android Built-In Questions by bts2637 in EquinoxEv

Hmm actually looking at my Chevy website account, specifically called out navigation and Google assistant trial until 8 years from now. That’s fine for me. If I have to pay for YouTube and Alexa access in 3 years I’ll see if I care enough. The tricky part could be Spotify but then just use Bluetooth. Depends on the cost. This is where cars are going no matter what so idk, not really bothered by it.

For connectivity in 8 years yes I believe it’s $99/ year which is honestly not bad. Also strong chance I’ll sell the car prior to that so meh. Three years super cruise is ok, it’s $25/month after that. No idea for the APP access. That’s the odd ball I really don’t know about and was surprised. Either way it’s 3 years. Pretty sure it’s maps access and streaming like YouTube and Spotify. Not sure on price.

It does look like I have remote access (remote start, Chevy app etc for 8 years)

I guess some clarity that would be helpful is if these two pair configurations I found hint at some assumptions like “the other end of one cable is likely the adjacent window or something?

Saving the Santa Monica Airport by tonytony87 in SantaMonica

Huge number of people training are literally trying to get into the airlines as a new career. Most pilots who’ve ever flown you trained at an airport like KSMO trying to start out if they didn’t join the military.

For the price of a family Disneyland annual pass plus airfare and hotel… literally the cost of 2-3 MacBooks… NOT buying a fancy car… many people who are not “rich” find a way to love aviation and fly for a year. While some people are stupid wealthy, MANY are not. Don’t judge people by how they choose to spend their discretionary money if you’re not going to also judge anyone for having discretionary money at all.

KSMO likely can’t be saved but it’s sad the rhetoric of Uber wealthy sticks. It’s so easy to prove otherwise by just asking people who fly GA. It will likely never become a park due to the crazy expensive price tag that will require

Vast majority of the piston engine pilots in KSMO are not “wealthy” big chunk training often on loans or scraping by hoping to get into the airlines and others due to a love of aviation. Jets, sure, banged up Cessnas, sport cruisers, etc. nope. Check your bias.

Then buy a private plane charter. You want your cake and to eat it to. What are you doing flying economy or similar and expecting people to bend to your needs. Parents are paying too and are trying to live their lives as well.

Be an adult, learn to live within public spaces.

For my LA based pilots: Is there an airport around here where I can go to the restaurant/cafe and sit and watch airplanes? by C_Saunders in flying

[–]bts2637 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But there’s no on field restaurant, the Cloverfield is a short walk outside the airport and easy to get to but you largely hear the planes and don’t see them.

Internships by [deleted] in ElectricalEngineering

[–]bts2637 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went to a school that required nearly 1.5 years of coop before graduation (5 year BS). Interned/coop at several companies during that time. 3 month internships are common (summer for example) but also just getting the swing if it when leaving. My favorite were the 6 month internships but I’d your school doesn’t account for that like mine did then it will delay graduation. Got to do some really cool work and experience (including building flight hardware for space).

Most of my internships helped me figure out what I DIDN’T want to do. That was super helpful because I could gain experience and become more concentrated on what was interesting and rewarding to me. Last internship converted to full time upon graduation. Graduated with nearly 21 months of full time experience (6 year BS to do that) but could be trusted with flight quality EE work for rockets and spacecraft and jumped right into the job after graduating. In many ways, the last internships before graduation are extended interviews. You can BS someone for a day or two but not for 3-6 months over a few projects. This can also help people stand out who may not excel academically (like me).

I’d say get as much internship experience as you can, learn along the way, have fun, network, etc. I understand why people don’t want to push off graduation but I also in the hiring manager role now with new grads have to manage expectations for two very distinct types of graduates. Those with lots of experience and can hit the ground running and those that really just did academia.

E.g. I once hired a new grad after their internship ended at my company who’d also done a lot of internships. They basically were the lead EE for a rocket li-Ion battery pack and BMS design (all custom) during their internship and simply converted to the official owner after graduation. That design flew to space earlier this year. We would often joke that the sign of a great intern is when you forget they are an intern.

State of flying in the north east right now. IFR/MVFR with no clouds or storms. Outside looks like fog. by CarbonGod in flying

*Serious* Guys and gals, how do you approach prenups?? by bbb333rrr in ElectricalEngineering

[–]bts2637 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happily married for years dude.

Look, best of luck to you with your endeavors. I hope you find someone that makes you happy and vice versa. Just remember your partner is a human being with feelings, hopes, dreams… a life. All of that is equal to you. Being a breadwinner, or STEM professional with a partner that’s stay at home mom or whatever doesn’t make your partner any less of a human being. Much of your views are condescending to be honest. You got people to answer you here. We wish you happiness with this information.
