Window switches not working after after detailing.

I had my 2010 GrandCaravan washed at a full service car wash a couple weeks back. Since then, all three of the passenger window buttons don't work, but all the driver window controls DO work. Obviously I checked the window control lock switch, but that doesn't do anything. The car wash does wipe the dash with some shiny spray, so I'm guessing that maybe some of it got into a switch.

Occam's razor would suggest the window control lock switch is the culprit (as compared to all the other window control's simultaneous breaking at the same time.) Any ideas if this something I might be able to clean off the switch? Are replacing one of these switches easy?

I was putting air in a tire, and my Bolt beeped and flashed its lights right as I hit the required pressure!

Is this a thing on cars now? I’ve never seen it before. Amazing!

Getting into Air Resource Engineering without a background in environmental engineering.

I'm wondering if anyone knows how likely it is to get into Air Resource Engineering positions without a background in environmental engineering.

I have a masters degree in electrical/computer engineering and statistics with 15 years experience in the private sector including a background in large data analysis projects as well as all the important soft skills. This does not include any experience in air pollution or environmental engineering.

I know these positions are very competitive. Do I have any shot at even getting interviews for the engineer grade positions? Am I more likely to get in at a lower Air Pollution Specialist position, or is that even stretching it? Obviously I'll be applying for all of them.

Adopting roasted pork loin and fennel to sous vide.

Pork is one meat I will always try to sous vide if I can, and I want to adopt an old roasting recipe I used to use. That recipe would roast a pork loin on top of onion and fennel. Then the drippings and vegetables are used in a cream sauce.

I want some of the fennel flavor in the meat so I’m thinking I will cook the onion/fennel ahead of time (either sous vide or oven, probably sous vide since I’ll have it out.) Then add it to the bag with the pork. Use the combined drippings for the cream sauce.

Thoughts? Do I risk adding too much flavor to pork?

I obviously have a tenderloin, not a regular loin, since they basically cost the same and I don’t need a full loin.

Southwest seat selection when purchasing with credit card; flying with 8 year old.

How good is the seat selection process working for people buying basic fares with the Southwest credit card that allows them to select their seat 48 hours before the flight?

I'll be flying with my 8 year old for the first time since the assigned seating change. I know the preferred process is going to be to buy higher fare to get seats next to each other, but if the credit card seat selection works; I'd be willing to try that at least for the flight out.

Recommendation for 12V inflator and tire plug kit.

I bought my 2020 Premier about 18 months ago, and it did not come with any tire inflation kit. I figured it's about time to get that taken care of. Any recommendations? I know most of these things are trivially comparable and it probably doesn't make much difference, but thought I'd ask.
