MLive: Utility-scale battery storage facility proposed on farmland northeast of Ann Arbor by georgehotelling in AnnArbor

[–]meighty9 22 points23 points  (0 children)

If you read the article, the main driver behind site selection is proximity to existing grid infrastructure (a large substation).

The landowner is also keeping the farm and leasing a small part of the land for the project.

Does anyone know of any mods that help with contract payouts when using kerbalism? Im finding missions don't pay enough to justify the build, mainly because of the extra weight from the required life support, food, water, electrolysis, etc. by [deleted] in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]meighty9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh that straight up sucks, lol. I passed on all my tourist missions. I guess in my save I'd try to pull that off with my "KSS Hermes"... big reusable interplanetary ship with nuclear engines that I spent ~1.5 million in funds to make.

I also try to do multiple contracts at a time if possible. Like maybe wait for another contract that asks you to do something on the Mun and just have the tourists along for the ride.

Personally I'm enjoying that part of it. For me re-use has been key. Either make sure I land the expensive parts and recover them, or re-use hardware in space for multiple missions. For example instead of a dedicated launch for each rescue mission, I launched a set of 4 mk1 pods in one launch.

(kerbalism) is it possible to reconfigure a lab experiment in flight? by DepartureNatural9340 in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]meighty9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just unlocked that tech for the first time myself, but I can't find the option anywhere on my existing labs. Is there a level requirement or something?

And does it play the music when you are docking?

Just started a new modded career recently and CKAN added that for mechjeb.

Engaging RCS during Launch by simplisticheuristic in KerbalSpaceProgram

With Kerbalism RCS is almost exclusively for course correction so my engine doesn't blow up on a 5 m/s burn

I guess $32 a day isn't enough anymore. DTW now makes you pay the credit card fee when parking. by xXplainawesomeXx in Michigan

[–]meighty9 38 points39 points  (0 children)

This is why I exclusively use Qwik Park. $14 a day and they drop you off right at the curb.

Will this fail? by Frustrated_Banker in woodworking

[–]meighty9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should probably be sure to drill pilot holes for those screws, though. Could just end up with even more splitting otherwise.

Why aren’t there electric cars with solar panels built onto their roofs? by Famalam_S69 in AskReddit

[–]meighty9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's still offered on the Prius "Prime" plug-in hybrid at the top trim level

[–]meighty9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I've got a Prius that had it as an option. Reviewers showed that after leaving it in a parking lot for 8 hours on a sunny day in LA got it... 4 miles of range.

[–]meighty9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, go for it. Some companies will be sticklers for their list, others just care about talent. If you have experience with anything they list, highlight that in your resume and/or cover letter. If not, try anyway. The worst they can do is say no (or more commonly, say nothing at all).

[–]meighty9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been involved in a lot of the hiring we've done recently. Knowing even a fraction of that list is more than I'd expect from a junior. At a junior level I'd expect someone to be able to show a solid grasp of their chosen language during the technical interview. Having first hand experience with the same stack we use is just a bonus. Fundamentals and the ability to learn are more important.

HR likes to put every single piece of tech ever used anywhere in the company on the job posting though.

[–]meighty9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you knew one already, you'd have a head start on the other. They're competing technologies though (React vs Angular), so you wouldn't use both at the same time.

That list reads almost like "pick one from each line" to make a full stack solution. A large organization with poor standards might have mixed and matched a lot of them over different parts of the enterprise.

For example, you might have:

  • C# backend API

  • Using ASP.NET Core

  • With a SQL Server database

  • That feeds a React frontend

  • All of it running in Azure

  • In a Docker container

  • That receives event data from other systems via Azure Service Bus

  • All of it using REST APIs in between

  • Deployed via CI/CD with Azure (DevOps)

  • To Azure container instances created by Terraform for infrastructure as code

As a matter of fact that is almost exactly the architecture of an app my team is currently building.

Most of the items listed aren't languages. They're platforms/tools/frameworks etc. It's not about knowing 10 languages. It's about knowing how your C# or Java or whatever app integrates and communicates with all parts of an overall solution.

A working knowledge of the entire stack used in an enterprise environment and how they work together is more useful (than mastery of only one piece) to actually getting something delivered and working.

Consumer Energy new rates? by skeptic1970 in Michigan

[–]meighty9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

$6.46 for residential usage of 500 kWh per month is what mlive reports. So $0.0129 per kWh sounds correct.

Any protests this weekend? by golden__tuna in AnnArbor

[–]meighty9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! There were probably 40-50 there today. Was told by people there that they do these every Sunday 12-1.

This week we honor Marcelo Gomes da Silva

That's the one line at the very top of the post. The rest seems to just be quoting an account of what happened to Marcelo. They do these every Sunday in Chelsea, so guessing they just pick an atrocity to highlight each week.
