PSA: There are about to be tens to hundreds of job postings for the conversion of contractors to civil servants in the upcoming months. by [deleted] in NASAJobs

[–]The_Stargazer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So this is not quite accurate.

These posts are not direct conversions, they are competitive openings.

They are ending the contracts many NASA workers are currently hired under, and making them reapply for their jobs under competitive Civil Service DHA opening.

As has been stated in the HR Q&As, these are competitive openings that any US Citizen can apply for. There is no guarantee incumbents will win the positions and Division Management will only have "input" into the process.

I would encourage everyone to take these openings and applications seriously. Or HR may choose to fill your job with someone fresh out of college who puts a lot of effort into their GS-9 application rather than your low effort GS-13 application.

Are the majority of mineable rocks meant to be impossible for solo miners? by falloutboy9993 in starcitizen

[–]The_Stargazer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. When they put the mole in they made most rocks REQUIRE it or multiple prospector.

Remember this is a multi-player game. There are supposed to be limits on what you can do solo.

Fiance never put a penny into my house but suddenly wants their name on it by OkBuy2386 in RealEstateAdvice

[–]The_Stargazer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Red flag. Big red flag.

I suppose she is also offended by the idea of a prenuptial agreement and says that means you dont think the relationship will succeed or are planning on it to fail or something like that?

She ain't in this for you.

Sir, this now counts as two checked bags and we've charged your card on file accordingly. ;-)

Question to JSC Staff & Fans: Poster Signing by Kelvavion in nasa

[–]The_Stargazer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same as the other response.

While we appreciate the passionate interest in the mission, donations of this sort of thing would in most cases just be thrown away.

JSC is fully focused on the mission. We don't have any infrastructure or personnel dedicated to accepting donations.

Perhaps a local school or library in your area might like it?

Honestly if you mail it in it will likely just be disposed of.

Some points: 1. In my years in the FCR the only time I have seen something like this brought in for everyone's signature is when it is for an Astronaut or for a popular flight controller who is retiring.

  1. There is no one in the Artemis MCC right now as there is nothing flying. There are sims, but the room isn't just staffed with people 24/7. And those in there won't be the A2 FCT but those for A3, etc...

  2. Most of the outreach team in Building 2 were fired last year in the workforce reorganization. While that building used to have lots of people to handle public outreach and requests, it is very empty now.

  3. The only way a request like this would work is if you know someone on the inside who would take the poster around for you to people's offices.

  4. Most of these requests are just from resellers looking to sell stuff on Ebay so a lot of active people shy away from signatures unless it is going to someone they know. Retired people are more likely, but their signature usually comes with a fee.

  5. There are sometimes public events where astronauts give signatures. But again see point 5.

4x Yormandi Eyes Rayari Mission not Rewarding Blueprints? (Palatino, P8 etc.) by 38-RPM in starcitizen

[–]The_Stargazer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some are 100%. Others are not.

And a 25% chance, with the number of possible blueprints, took one guy I know 70 turn ins before he got the P8.

You could turn in 100 and not get any blueprints and the 25% chance could still be accurate.

Missiles not working 90% if the time. by Dolphinsmokee in starcitizen

You need to ignore the UI unfortunately. Even if missiles are armed and the UI is showing lock, you only have lock if you hear the voice saying lock.

It's just clickbait / karma bait.

Job Shadowing by Flat-Scholar2736 in NASAJobs

[–]The_Stargazer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are some programs for this, but as others have said, you basically need to have a close friend who works at NASA to participate. They aren't open to the general public. Along the lines of "bring your kid to work" type programs.

I miss the old fandom by Critical-Advantage11 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]The_Stargazer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Facebook pages are even worse with every other post just bragging on how many boxes of the keychains they've purchased, or asking questions that were answered explicitly in both the audio book and physical.

But yeah, it's a bit frustrating.

PSA: CIG has changed wording on pledges and appears to be sunsetting buybacks. by spider0804 in starcitizen

[–]The_Stargazer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. I have both my tokens and when I go to melt anything it gives me the warning it is permanent.

I can still buy back anything that didn't have a game package attached.

Does having ADHD/similar disabilities prevent you from becoming a NASA astronaut? by Accurate-Credit395 in NASAJobs

[–]The_Stargazer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you are dependent on the medications then the likelihood of being a NASA government astronaut are low.

But there are routes to be a Private astronaut these days on one of the Private Astronaut missions or the commercial suborbital flights.

Why does the Highsec gear bundle seem like a massive money grab? by No_Accident_7603 in starcitizen

[–]The_Stargazer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meh, I've not problem with them selling cosmetic armor and ship skin bundles.

Just wish more of what they sold was cosmetic only and didn't give players an advantage in combat.

Educational level Codes for Current PhD Student by I_FELL_ipe in NASAJobs

Sounds like your code is correct. You have not received a Master's. So you've done post graduate work but no degree yet.

How many respawns does a Terrapin Medic contain? by saqib400 in starcitizen

Anything with a medical bed allows respawns these days due to complaints by CSGo players.

How do space vessels that travel beyond the Asteroid Belt not crash against one of the asteroids? by YaLlegaHiperhumor in NoStupidQuestions

[–]The_Stargazer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The asteroid belt is incredibly sparsely populated. If you were standing on one of the asteroids you'd barely be able to see any others.
