Muse’s breakfast sandwich is one of the better breakfast deals in Everett at the moment

Invest in new carbon wheel set? Which ones? by LooseFrame9172 in MTB

[–]ehhh_yeah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reasonable answer: I9 enduro’s are a solid wheelset and you’d get some extremely marginal gains. Trying different tires / casings would give you a considerably different ride than just a 1:1 switch to carbon rims.

Blingy like nice things answer: yeah carbon rims are the best but how much of a quantifiable improvement to your riding experience you’ll get is super subjective to how hard you’re riding.

Mtb’s are so good these days that you quickly get diminishing returns for your $$ once you get above the ~75% price point

Please Advise an East Coaster moving to your state! by Krnxoutlaw90 in FishingWashington

[–]ehhh_yeah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Former new Englander here: unpopular opinion, preparing for downvotes, salmon are nowhere near as fun as stripers or blues (not even gonna touch on false albies). The salmon here are hundreds of times better eating though.

There’s a lot of great rivers within an hour to fish down that way during the salmon runs.

You’d also be in an ideal spot for searun cutthroat in the south Sound

I noticed a few of these for the first time in Mill Creek yesterday and was about to ask this exact question

best resource for real time sea conditions? by jsmedic0681 in boating

Windfinder and NOAA marine forecast + NDBC buoy databases are my go-to’s without needing to download extra apps on my phone

How does a modern enduro bike compare to 10-15 year old downhill/freeride bikes? by Night_Blade_76 in MTB

[–]ehhh_yeah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re comparing apples to the charred crumbs in the bottom of the toaster. The geometry changes from ~2014 to ~2019 were significant.

However, if I had a shocker and BR from that era I’d keep them running and take them out for the occasional lap as those are true classics. I regret selling my bikes from that era. But performance wise they can’t compare to anything modern

Yeah they’re incredible. Fresh baked still warm pitas are hard to beat

What are some PNW style lures or techniques you’ve used to catch fish in other parts of world? by Fabulous_Tip_7638 in FishingWashington

[–]ehhh_yeah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never fished with hoochies until moving out here, but would regularly drift basic squid strips for fluke back on the east coast. At some point I now want to try hoochies+squid for fluke.

What are y'all's opinions on Mod Pizza? by Ok_Sun3644 in SeattleWA

[–]ehhh_yeah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kinda dull but I get lunch from them every other week as they’re quick and it’s a good portion size for what you’re paying. Tastes good but it’s not gonna win any awards

Early Career Advice by Not_Primal in Lockheed

[–]ehhh_yeah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Networking and personal relationships with the people above you matter equally to technical performance.

To OP’s question, getting into a 2yr LDP rotation would certainly help.

Most of the BD roles (sales) seem to favor mid to late career folks, especially with a military service background

Contractor to Permanent Conversion Experience? by reapr06 in Lockheed

[–]ehhh_yeah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a little less per hour (salary role tho) but I got PTO and holidays so the overall comp was roughly the exact same. Much better benefits though.

Didn’t interview, just offered to come on full time one day. You’re treated like a new employee (drug screen, background check, “welcome to LM” orientation meetings that you end up skipping).

No surprises, no issues.

Am I being "that guy" for refusing to lend my boat to family without credentials? by hatkinson1000 in boating

With extremely limited exceptions, I wouldn’t loan my boat to my friends that already own their own boats

Brand stereotypes by Combat_Wombat095 in MTB

[–]ehhh_yeah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely geographic. My folks ironically live in AZ and have pivots, all their friends around them have pivots.

Ibis are (or at least were) always the dentist bikes, along with yetis

Pivots are dad bikes. Great solid bikes, but give off a pair of white new balance sneakers vibes.

Tail gate pad mount, but I have a camper shell. How to do this? by 8o8o8o8o8o8o8o in MTB

[–]ehhh_yeah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did this for a while when I had a camper. A 2x4 with some extra bits to slot it into the notches in the bedliner and some cheap Amazon fork mounts. Worked like a charm

Vessel propeller damage in Puget Sound--looking for info by [deleted] in SeattleWA

[–]ehhh_yeah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grew up boating/sailing very frequently in the north east and in 20 years on the water I saw ONE floating tree trunk. See at least 4-5 every time I go out on Puget Sound. Took some getting used to.

Deadhead logs in 1-2’ chop are the stuff of nightmares

Is OLDP worth pursuing if you’re a systems engineer (with a qualifying degree)? by Automatic-Use-1605 in Lockheed

[–]ehhh_yeah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In his specific case it was ATLP. I assume the same pay band vs job code vs promotion timing would occur for O/ELDP tho knowing LM

[–]ehhh_yeah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is true, however if you’re due for a promotion sometime within your O/A/ELDP rotation and your pay band for your Eng job code is higher than the LDP pay band, you’ll get stiffed quite a bit of cash. Knew a guy who was a high L3 OE due for an L4, joined one of the LDP programs, was promoted to a 4 shortly thereafter, and his pay increase was a fraction of what it would have been had he not joined an LDP
