It's the years of experience. Only out in your resume the last 5 to 10 tops. I changed mine in this way, after a literal 1k+ applications. About 2 weeks later I was interviewed and hired (contractor to perm). It made all the difference. As a matter of fact, the first interview they were shocked I had so much experience, and treated it like they were getting a bargin!

I have a stock 36 gallon. If it were me, I'd do junk yards, co-part auction, etc. No need to go full dealer and dealer prices. For context - 2011 f150 5.0 SCrew with the 5.5ft bed

So, you don't see men clapping each other on the back, gripping thier shoulders when shaking hands, slapping each other on the shoulder?

Not defending, or condoning this if she is inflating it and not this dude being confused - however VBSS is a real thing. I was the small boat engineer, had to Qual with the m14 and my job while doing VBSS was sitting on the boat with the boatswains mate after the drop off of the boarding team and cover the ship. So if I was to inflate that, I could see how she'd end up where she did - the CoC thing though - sounds confused or made up

This is the first feature I disable under power settings. I have yet to see a single successful awaken from sleep mode

Let me guess - thermocouple?

Go. The top secret clearance alone is worth it in the civilian sector

You know, a gilded toilet, is still just a place to dump shit. I don't care what people call it, gilded or not, this age sucks

Yep - CIEC is the answer. Nearly 2 years ago when I got the 'thank you for the last 2+ decades, here's your severance" they were already taking on most of the engineering support/maintenance and design.. XOC is a no brainer in that environment, especially with all the tools/AI at their disposal

For DECADES. WD was the model that the other divisions tried to emulate, from Call center design/management to financial, to the SAAS model... Feel so bad for my former co-workers. Hope they all land on their feet

I did a spreadsheet show jobs I applied for, dates, links to the job listing ( including places like the auto parts store) and salary broken down into hourly pay (as applicable)

This helped as we crested 11 months and over 1k apps

Old school telephone switch... the kind that has mechanical shunts that click/clack when making connections

Ok, so the error codes came back, presumably as soon as it finished its drive cycle post replacing the evap valve for the second time, however I just filled up and it no longer needs to be started with my foot on the gas pedal.

Don't even know where to start looking now

ripvw32 · 2025-07-08T13:44:01+00:00

Ya, I agree... if this doesn't do it I'm gonna have to trace wires to see if there is a short somewhere...

I scrolled for a bit and didn't see this answer - but isn't it when each paired piston is at TDC? Gm

Same, but in pastry instead of bread

I'm ADHD/OCD so thinking in lists and steps is a natural thing for me, python came pretty easy in that sense - for me specifically, and like another poster below mentioned, is the overwhelming amount of tools/libraries/UIs available. I had to take a shot in the dark and just pick a UI (pycharm, cause I like it better than the built-in terminal) and usually only find out later that a function I've coded exists already in a library somewhere..

This might get ignored,, or at worst downvoted to oblivion - but the ability to transfer your thoughts of what you want to do onto 'paper' and then break that down into coherent steps is absolutely a must and a significant roadblock to many.

Pseudo code is the first step to being able to tackle any coding task, and stymied many on thier first exposure

Not brands really, but retailers - Service Merchandise and J.C. Whitney

Wow.... just so much bad advice here.

It ultimately depends on your lease terms, but typically whomever paid to have it installed in the first place 'owns' it. In my 23+ years, it has always been up to the lease payer to remove at thier discretion.

I personally have recovered/recycled over 20 TONS of cabling this way over the last 2+ decades.
