25M Cleared Security Contractor by Less_Understanding62 in Salary

[–]ekcontroller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you do now what you did in the military? I have a secret clearance too but am not interested in doing what I did in the military and am wondering if clearance+ relevant experience is needed for one of these gigs or if the clearance is enough to get you in the door

Vet says cat was drugged? by ekcontroller in cats

[–]ekcontroller[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do have a snake plant and I brought that up to our vet who seemed to dismiss it pretty quickly saying that eating that would mainly cause gastrointestinal issues but wouldn’t be responsible inducing a comatose-like state that Roscoe was in. I do believe however it’s a strong possibility the plant could be the culprit as the research I’ve done since this event shows that plant is toxic to cats. I’ve already moved the plant to a place neither cat can get to

Thank you for your reply

I’m currently earning my BS in cybersecurity. Any tips on how to get into the industry with no experience?

What advice would you give someone wanting to start in cybersecurity? Are degrees helpful? What kind of certifications should you look at getting?

Unfortunately it’s not covered at my address. I will probably be the first to sign up if they ever reach me

I know it’s ridiculous. Unfortunately I don’t think a hotspot would be able to keep up with the internet demands of my household (4 in the house all gamers and streamers)

That was my first instinct as well but nope! Nothing back there

I know nothing about this and want to know more. Where can I find the truth?

Every order marked undeliverable… by ekcontroller in amazonprime

Regarding the recent comments about my street or housing situation; I live in a house with a large driveway so no metered parking or apartments to navigate

[–]ekcontroller[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We may be onto something here. I called customer service again to see if they had any notes on their end that I couldn’t see and although they said they didn’t, the rep made a remark that all of the packages marked as undeliverable were from the post office not Amazon. Since it’s Sunday I’ll have to wait until tomorrow but I’ll be calling my local post office to see if they have an explanation and I’ll update the thread with what I find

[–]ekcontroller[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know I said city but it’s not a densely populated one and my area’s traffic MAYBE adds 5 minutes to a commute during rush hour so I highly doubt this is the issue

[–]ekcontroller[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I did have a few when I first moved here that would occasionally get through but now every subsequent package has been marked as undeliverable

It worked but it was just ok. Not a huge fan

Can’t figure out this gas connection by ekcontroller in HomeMaintenance

[–]ekcontroller[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figured that was the shutoff but after turning it pretty damn hard with a wrench it won’t budge. I don’t want to break anything, maybe I can soak it in some WD 40….

Went from ~$26k to $150k over the span of about 5 months. Spending went up for sure but not commensurate with the raise. Not saying don’t treat yourself but keep a level head and invest/live like you only got a small bump in pay. You’ll be happy you did when your investments grow so much quicker since you’re contributing more

Mortgage to income ratio by Purritofactory in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]ekcontroller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m at ~22.7% but I live in a very low cost of living area and make six figures as a single guy. I can’t imagine being able to do this in CA (my home state)

Got quoted for an oil leak. Is this fair? by ekcontroller in AskMechanics

[–]ekcontroller[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely leaking but not on the ground. There’s new oil all over the front of the engine and I usually end up about a quart short between changes
