I suspect the wired cabling would be to control components inside the sub, not outside. And I say that only because it's unlikely that wireless signals would penetrate the sub walls.

Can read the emotion in the text. Thanks for sharing that.

What vendors do you buy through? I find that OEM tend to buy back their flagships , at least in Canada

That's because Canberra is itself a shithole, you muppet. If I'm homeless with a choice, I'm going north.

Didn't know the pollies were hard at work creating beaches... That's a hot take.

From an external perspective, the aus political forum looks like a shitshow. Look at your pm count over the last 20 years as an example. US is no different.

Thanks for this different perspective. Makes the grind more tolerable

So... It sounds like you're in favour of free-education-for-all?

The sad part is, I can't tell whether you are extreme-right or far-left. That's how weird US politics is today.

Hi hi. Engineer here that has moonlit in the past using incorporated entities.

First, I agree with the other commenter that your existing wage appears low. Better market understanding would be good here.

Second, a good 'rule of thumb' for your indirect expenses (rrsp, cpp, ei, insurance) is 35% on top of a full time salary. So, if your salary today is 78, your indirect expenses (which your employer currently bears) takes that up to 105.3k. Add your incorporation costs, annual filings (including unaudited statements), and setup costs (IT equipment, payroll, etc.) that's going to take you to 110/115. Don't forget that you will be over HST reporting minimums so you will need to register, collect, and remit GST / provincial sales tax.

A guaranteed 150 for 12 months seems to make financial sense, just consider whether you can build a pipeline of later work (with your enhanced skillset) during that time.

Hope that helps.
