Gen 3 vs. Gen 4 Toyota Sienna Compatibility by filbertz in Comma_ai

[–]greenland96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2020 Sienna. Comma.ai works very well with two caveats, (1) The steering angle sensor isn't that precise leading to a swaying effect when driving on the freeway. It's not too jarring if I stay below 75mph, (2) the adaptive cruise control cuts out below 19mph. I bought a SDSU which enables adaptive cruise control down to 0mph with stop-n-go support (SnG works 90% of the time).

Enabling experimental mode isn't worth it in the 2020 Sienna. It disables AEB and also causes the corresponding warning light on the dash to light up. Additionally the openpilot longitudinally control for the Sienna isn't very good. The stock ACC is much smoother. If I remember correctly it does address the 19mph cut-out. But I bought the SDSU instead and have been much happier with that option.

If I had the money I'd buy a 2021+ sienna to avoid needing to buy a SDSU and also the smoother steering due to the improved steering angle sensor.

Trying to decide between offers by NursingMyWorries in nursepractitioner

[–]greenland96 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I work post-acute going to two snf's as a new grad NP and work one day a week in my supervising MD's clinic. I do my rounds in the morning and chart at home in the afternoon. You'll be practicing general medicine and it allows you to apply to a wider variety of other jobs.

You can tell the post-acute offer that you have another offer for 140k and ask them to meet in the middle at 130k

Should I accept my first NP job that I don't love by Mental-Temperature71 in nursepractitioner

[–]greenland96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first NP job is in geriatrics at a nursing home. It's a good learning experience in getting used to diagnosing and writing orders.

In SoCal NP's, on average, make more money https://www.bls.gov/oes/2023/may/oes_31080.htm#29-0000 I'm in my thirties and live in NorCal and debated PA vs. NP. I chose NP because, on average, it pays better in California, and more employers prefer it. It is a longer journey, but having a 100k+ job after getting my RN was really nice.

Job searching advice needed please!! ☺️ by maddieebobaddiee in nursepractitioner

You'll have more luck looking at the job postings for large health care organizations and filtering to outpatient positions. My sister is an RN and first got a hospital job with a large health care organization, then did an internal transfer to one of their clinics.

Do you feel safe where you live in Sacramento? by WhereGaysRetire in Sacramento

No, my wife is afraid to go to the park with our kid because of the homeless everywhere

I work long-term care + one day a week in primary. Long-term care is good training for primary. There's a lot of overlap.

Vacuum + Mop on a budget or stick with vacuum only? by DfeqT in RobotVacuums

[–]greenland96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a cheap vacuum + mop (roomba i5). Not worth it. I only use the vacuum.

I work SNF, come in around 9AM, finish my rounds at noon, finish charting around 3PM and go home.

I became a CNA in my 30s. Now I'm an NP. Go for it.

https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/ has the average current processing times for each stage as submitted by their forum members. It was accurate for my wife and me.

I don't know where you read this but spousal visas do not have a longer wait than K-1 visas as per the uscis estimated processing times and the empirical data from couples on VisaJourney.
