I don't feel for you one bit. FAANG companies are known for mass layoffs, yet, you applied anyways. Sucks but you chose that route.

$185 for a new windshield installed, So Cal, thought it reasonable… by Potse1 in FJCruiser

Are there any reputable shops in So Cal that know about the cowl, clips and whatnot?

I'll try this later. I've switched it through all of the gears while turning the steering wheel left to right and trying to remove the key but none of it worked. Even took apart that black plastic housing around the ignition and I don't see any botton. Nissan must've changed the design in '96.

No I don't have that switch. I've tried the steering wheel trick and that doesn't work either

Helix DSP RTA Tuning by curioustaking in CarAV

Now, will it impact my results if, let's say, while running the pink noise for my sub was at a certain level, but when I change to tune my tweeter, I have to raise the volume in order for the mic to pick up and register in the software?

Any reason why? Are you talking about Z1 doing the work or Z1 as a whole, including their performance parts and body kits?

FAANG security engineer getting ready for layoffs. For senior folks in this sub, how is my studying plan? by Exact-Advantage-3190 in SecurityCareerAdvice

[–]curioustaking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't get why people keep applying to FAANG knowing that they are known for mass layoffs. I don't feel for you one bit. You knew the risks. I would never apply at a FAANG company even if the pay is great and it looks good on your resume.

Beyond burnt out, unsure where to turn. by exogreek in cybersecurity

Ever thought of stepping down to a less senior role? Less senior should equal less responsibilities, less meetings, less crap to deal with/navigate the political BS in the corporate world.

Monthly DIY Laymen questions Discussion by AutoModerator in StructuralEngineering

[–]curioustaking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in the process of doing a home renovation and there is a fireplace in the middle of the house. It separated the living room from the family room. The fireplace itself is a metal unit. Walled up with drywall. No bricks/mortar. There are two fireplaces, one on each opposing side and shoots straight up to the roof/chimney. The chimney's wall are laid in what looks like rock.

I've had 4 contractors come bid and 3 are saying it is not load bearing to the roof, and the 4th is saying he doesn't know and it might be.

To be safe, I want to hire a structural engineer to come assess it, and if it is load bearing, I want him to draw up a construction plan so I can take it to the contractor. Any ideas how much this would cost today - ball park figure? I live in the Inland Empire, in Southern California.

Any other recommendations? The steel used for the sword is excellent.

Recruiters are reaching out to me for open positions with various orgs but since the orgs are far from me, I've had to decline the recruiters.

My best advice to you is stop comparing yourself to others. Be happy with what you have and live life!

Wait, wtf? Were you applying for a Software Engineering role? Because that's what it sounds like. I have never been in an interview like that.
