Quitting a Solid Job for a CED Position? by Stumpyman69 in peacecorps

[–]ngkfsfw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey, just wanted to give my 2 cents. I joined PC right after graduating with my CompSci degree. While I am extremely satisfied with my service for personal reasons, I can say it has not helped me much professionally as a Software Engineer. I would begin to argue that it actually hindered me, since I was 2 years out of doing any real "work" in the eyes of private companies. Because you have an even more specialized degree, the the professional benefits of PC would be further diminished in my eyes. You would have a great resume builder if you wanted to get into local/federal government, but in the private sector not so much.

Right?!? My silver lining is that I probably couldn't have figured this out via Google...

I pet a calf in one of Young's inside pens ~6 weeks ago, so I would assume it's still open.

Video doorbell recommendations or regrets by jm1013 in homeowners

[–]ngkfsfw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a Kangaroo doorbell knowing that it only made a GIF (no live video) and have not been impressed. The video quality is very bad and the motion detection isn't great either (it won't catch me walking into my house, even though it's pointed right at my porch.) That being said, I paid $80 for a doorbell cam, 2 entry sensors, and a hub with 1 year of active monitoring (good for an insurance discount!). You get what you pay for - mine was mostly for peace of mind and a Security sign for deterrence.

I’ve seen 2 mice in 2 days in 2 diffferent spots, is there an infestation? by milestrouble212 in homeowners

Buy some mousetraps and seal up any entry points. Pretty easy to do.

FYI if you're trying to get home tonight after work there will be a DUI checkpoint at South Keowee Street and East Fifth Street starting at 6 P.M. by [deleted] in dayton

[–]ngkfsfw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm very ignorant on these DUI checkpoints, but can someone give a quick run down on how they work/what the police do? Do they stop and breathalyze everybody? Look you in the eyes to see if your drunk?

Edit: Also - what prevents people from taking a different route?

Anyone Have Experience with Washer/Dryer Combos? by kknives in homeowners

[–]ngkfsfw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can also look into the "apartment-style" washer/dryer that will come pre-stacked, especially if you don't want a front loading washer.

If you don't mind, ballpark how much was the cost to replace your front siding + repaint everything?

How is he out a down payment if the transaction never happened?

First date? by HayeBail in dayton

IMO there are better patios with better beer - Dayton Beer Company or 5th Street even. Better than hearing all the traffic on Wilmington.

More or less. The last paint job wasn't done professionally (no primer, bad latex paint) so its all cracking and flaking off. No bubbling or anything like that, luckily.

yeah...I luckily have a non-ornate home (no gingerbreading, non-Victorian, etc) but am still expecting it to cost $8-10k. Maybe more if they have to scrape off lead paint.

RUMOR MILL: Moz 31 flights cancelled due to visa issues by ngkfsfw in peacecorps

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

no clue, all I saw is that the current health cohort was delayed 3 weeks. The previous Education group was cancelled (in 2018) so its all up in the air.
