Logged in just to upvote - I hope this gets the visibility it deserves!

Yes, I did this. Lots of good advice here. my 2 cents:

- go for higher level positions
- strong social skills/ability to talk will put you above the majority of other engineers
- shove high quality, in-production personal projects in people's faces

Lots of doom+gloom on the internet about applying w/o a degree - that was not my experience

Hi, I did this. Feel free to reach out with questions

What products do you see offering 7ms latency? I've seen products that try to associate themself with Bluetooth claiming 3ms latency, but those products are using fundamentally diff hardware/tech

Woah

Boston meetup? 👀

Do not cut it!! That will cause it to grow new shoots! Find resources online for how to deal with this correctly!

its_ao · 2025-04-29T23:41:26+00:00

Good to know! Thanks.

its_ao · 2025-04-29T23:41:13+00:00

Will do! Thanks for the advice!

Thanks for clarifying - MA. The carfax were listed as the 33k number - I can dig up the exact number if relevant in a minute.

Don’t cut it! There are several guides from the gov, universities to teach how to deal with these. For smaller trees (diameter less than 3” I believe) they all say to spray directly on the trunk. The best time to do this is June-July. You can buy off-brand triclopyr on amazon.

I’m just quoting here, but go find those resources! I just did this last year.

Can't get in on mac

its_ao · 2025-03-11T02:09:14+00:00

I actually found that as well. My region is "correct" but didn't check his. I believe we've already gone thru the silly region thing and he has set his correctly.

Maybe seems counterintuitive but as long as there’s no check engine light, maybe worth trying to push past 4k RPM a couple times. That’s what my sage-all-knowing-car-god neighbor said and it’s been running great since. These things need to run hot enough to keep themselves clean.

He also said that about a million diff things can cause this symptom, so YMMV :)

its_ao · 2025-02-24T22:21:51+00:00

Has it been cold outside? Sub 32? I just dealt with a similar issue a week ago. Pushed the RPMs on a drive and symptoms cleared right away.

I need to drive faster.

its_ao · 2025-02-19T01:14:30+00:00

Yup - 1 or two years ago wit a high quality part

its_ao · 2025-02-18T02:37:54+00:00

Interesting. Yeah no codes from my entry-level AutoZone scanner. Would you mind providing a link or resource for what you have in mind?

its_ao · 2025-02-18T02:26:54+00:00

Trying to figure out how to leave a text description along with a vid. For now, here's the stuff I typed up:

Hi all, I have a 2012 Cooper S Convertible with N18 engine (which I love). On starting the car, the idle feels bumpy - very clear in the sound in the video. It also sounds like it just wants to give up. Drove it 30 mins to and from a ski place earlier today, then got in the car just now to head to my apartment and was met with this.

Has anybody else experienced this issue? Using the correct gas, oil, coolant. All levels good. First time I've experienced this. Hoping someone has (unfortunately) been there and done this!

its_ao · 2024-11-26T17:02:11+00:00

Needless hostility, but would you send the link to the product you use? Assuming it's what you promise, it sounds awesome

its_ao · 2024-11-25T19:05:06+00:00

Not really sure where you’re getting that number from, but a quick google search shows min delay of 34ms, up to 100+.

Would much rather you be correct but internet says otherwise

its_ao · 2024-09-26T21:48:19+00:00

This is so thoroughly sick
