  1. Words of wisdom I have always lived by as both my grandfather's taught me. They were both Drill Sergeants in the Marines at Pendelton. Spent plenty of summers there causing chaos with the new recruits, but my grandfather's always told me to pay yourself first to save so retirement is comfortable, second save for buying quality products that last as you will spend less out of pocket than instant gratification of buying stuff all the time, third, whenever you do a project and need a tool, buy the tool and take care of it as you will always have the tool to do future projects and the final nugget of wisdom, never stop learning, nor listening to others point of view as while you can always agree to disagree, you just might find a pebble of knowledge worth saving that can benefit your future life. Wishing you all the best as you grow your career and move around, never be afraid of change as that is one constant, we can all count on. Change is inevitable. Just see the revolution in the auto industry and supply chain to know the truth.
  2. Congrats ccap41, always great to get your education. I always have told my relatives that a college education is not just getting a degree in a specific field, but it shows you can start and finish a project which is very important to companies, and one does not have to stay in the field they got their degree in. I am a perfect example of this as I have my education in the medical field and in international sales and marketing and I am a computer engineer by choice. Yes, my niece has already started to study for her CPA as the company she works for is going to pay for all the testing here in Washington. The company that won her was Tax Services | Deloitte US For 21 years old, she is a tax specialist consultant and started at $80,000 a year. Not too bad for a 21 year old. Yes this Uncle is very proud of her hard work and accomplishments. My gut tells me based on her comments, she will get her CPA, get the experience of a large tax company and then strike out on her own. Again, congratulations on getting your Bachelors, always a major awesome accomplishment and goes a long way in achieving a better quality of life.

  4. To date, GM customers have driven over 34 million hands free miles with Super Cruise engaged. GM is more than doubling the Super Cruise network across North America and the first GM auto's to get the update will be those built on the VIP electrical architecture via an over the air update. Mario Maiorana, GM chief engineer, Super Cruise had this to say: "GM is all in when it comes to accessible advanced driver assistance technology. We are adding Super Cruise to more vehicles than ever, and on more roads for more customers to experience,” “We are pursuing what we believe to be the most comprehensive path to autonomy in the industry with responsible deployment of automated driving technology like Super Cruise at the core of what we do.” Super Cruise engaged uses the autos precision LiDAR map data, real-time cameras, radars and GPS to keep the auto traveling along the lane path for a hands-free driving experience. Sensor fusion is what GM calls the systems working together to create a sensory field around the auto that assists in keeping it centered in the lane while elecating the driver's comfort and convenience. No matter the family, from Chevrolet to the lastest Hummer EV Super Cruise accelerates or brakes the vehicle to maintain a selected following gap from the vehicle ahead, steers to maintain lane position, and on select models where offered, can perform both driver and system-initiated lane changes to pass slower traffic and to move from an ending lane, while monitoring the driver's head position and or eyes in relation to the road. The following major roads were added to the Super Cruise network. The Mother Road – U.S. Route 66 Pacific Coast Highway – CA Route 1 Overseas Highway – U.S. Route 1 Trans-Canada Highway
  5. Interesting observation, up till 2019 Dell Technologies in Seattle would hire 100 interns working on their bachelors and usually 95 to 97 would accept a job from us before they graduated college. Once graduated, they would come to work for us. In 2019 we had 50 Bachelor and 50 masters' interns In 2020, 2021 and now 2022, we are only hiring masters' students for Interns and still have the same very high rate of hiring. My Niece graduated this year at age 21 with her master's in accounting, specializing in Taxation. The two places she did interns at, one working on her bachelors and one on her masters both offered her jobs before she graduated. When she graduated, she took 4 weeks off and then went to work at the company she chose before she graduated. If the people have the right skill set, they get hired before they even graduate college with a guaranteed job. For those that did not do internship while in college, I can see you have to network for job interviews and I do believe a thank you note is important, but not a letter in the mail as it was in the 70's to 90's. Now getting their cell phone number or email address and sending a message within an hour of leaving from the interview is very important I have come to notice as it can be the difference between you or another getting a call back that day with an offer. Interesting how head hunting also plays a roll in jobs today. One needs to stay on top of the trends and work areas that pay.
  6. Knew it was only time, but Tesla is no longer the EV sales leader in Europe. Stellantis of all companies is now the EV leader though it does look like VW could surpass them by the end of the year. EV wars to come! ?
