jman plumber in my town earns $47/hr+$32/hr in benefits. Not bad total comp especially if you add in OT.


Downside to onshape is its generally a different use case than SketchUp. I use both for work and almost no overlap in their applications for me.


Hubitat + Z-Wave or Zigbee switches is a little less hacky than HA+RPi+Dongles and ESP modules.

I wouldn’t want a non-UL listed doohicky switching 120v in walls.

Self-hosted, cloudless solution.


Ever? Hardly


Flow meters need an operations range though. So any of those ranges would work for your application.

But trying to find a screw on Home Depot or Fastenal .. ugh


If you need a desal plant, probably not a lot of water laying around to dilute your brine stream


Dilute it with seawater, I mean. Even it's not safe to discharge concentrated brine with, say, 10x the normal salt concentration, maybe seawater with 1.1x the usual concentration (or whatever it is) would be okay.


In some me places it is hard to discharge even 1.1x brine. In the future it might be necessary to concentrate it all the way to solid salt crystals and then truck them away.


Salt is just a depleted battery from the future


Are they allowed to dilute it with wastewater?


Purifying wastewater is much cheaper than desalination.


> You get extra credit points if you're active in visiting other universities and giving talks on the annual job circuit. You tend to do well if you advisors are well-connected. You have to sprinkle a bit of fad-ish topics into your research if even if it's a stretch to do so.

Sounds a bit like any job:

* Cross train in other departments

* Demonstrate your functionality/team’s functionality to other groups through talks, white papers, ‘internal consulting

* You do well when your boss does well, make your boss look good

* Buzzwords and trends make the world go round


Instead of buzzwords and trends, more accurate to say:

"Communicate all your ideas using narrative form. Embed your ideas in motifs, illustrate them with visual icons. Explain their worth by using existing context."

The reason buzzwords and zeitgeist terminology works is because they're a shorthand to understanding a topic, and a linker to existing context.

It's important to consciously understand how that works though.


It absolutely should know that I’m a X-elite member blahblah stop giving me ads for their credit card which I’ve had for 15 years.


I travel on United probably 6 flights a month on average. Overall I think it’s a pretty good app but like anything I use routinely, I could easily come up with a list of 10 complaints, from a UX perspective.

My biggest is the UI only considers one half of a RT “trip” a trip.


GIS now includes screenshots autogenerated from YT videos. Sometimes helpful but if I wanted to find a video I’d do that.
