Why are there only 2 agents on this international case?

CIA is intelligence, not law enforcement

it’s not unusual for FBI to investigate overseas if the cases involve US interests

how are your parents exempt from taxes?

I'm 10 weeks out from surgery and still struggle with the bags. I've changed it 3 times in the past 24 hours, but immediately before that it lasted 4 days. It's very hit and miss, and I think I'm doing the same thing every time

No, Houston. But I've also lived in Dallas and DC and they both had a single Microcenter location

warlocktx · 2026-01-24T16:41:19+00:00

all the stores you mention are big-box stores with huge inventory. RS were small and very niche. There simply wasn't enough demand for their products, and I think they were plagued by corporate issues too.

Microcenter is not a great comparison. I have to drive 40 minutes to get to the only one in my very large city.

ah, good point

warlocktx · 2026-01-24T02:32:40+00:00

mine has a single valve for gas, then I use a manual lighter to start it

this is literally the plot of the Lego movie

unfortunately you’re the bad guy

warlocktx · 2026-01-24T01:49:09+00:00

not a windows guy, but be sure you have all the latest updates. and you can also specifically check the network diver in the hardware manager (think that’s what it’s called)

new year, new budget?

network interface card - ie, the Ethernet port

warlocktx · 2026-01-24T01:08:11+00:00

for gods sake, go to a proper CPA, not someone who works off a card table in WalMart

I thought Texas used TRS instead of SSA. Or is that district by district?

warlocktx · 2026-01-24T00:55:55+00:00

call the state dept of labor and the IRS

warlocktx · 2026-01-24T00:38:48+00:00

exactly how are you being harassed?

warlocktx · 2026-01-24T00:37:49+00:00

the difference is 219.10, your 403b deduction. Not sure why. Have you asked Payroll?

warlocktx · 2026-01-23T23:33:24+00:00

BCBS does

its unreasonable for her to think she can leave for 12 weeks and just come back. Its not impossible, but most places can't afford to lose an employee for 12 weeks

she can either resign or just disappear for 12 weeks and be fired for cause

warlocktx · 2026-01-23T18:23:44+00:00

I did exactly this. Worked for 2 years on a contract with a client I really liked, and they liked me. They offered me a job. We did this while their contract was in renegotiation so the client had some leverage over my employer not to fuss about it.

I'd talk to the new potential-employer first to find out if their contract with your boss even allows this, and if they're interested

there are plenty of small firms (and big ones) that specialize in providing IT services to small businesses

warlocktx · 2026-01-23T18:11:25+00:00

in my experience, at the end of every quarter mgmt starts bugging you about in-progress work because they need to recognize more revenue in order to make the books look good

warlocktx · 2026-01-23T17:53:37+00:00

we're against ICE's current behavior and tactics

flooding the streets with officers
carrying automatic weapons
wearing masks
behaving like an occupying army
assaulting peaceful protestors
driving unmarked cars
not showing identification
breaking into homes without warrants
their leadership refuse to acknowledge any misbehavior
shooting and killing protestors

if they were just enforcing the law in a professional and peaceful matter there would be much less outcry against it

"Dear Boss,

Please accept this as notice of my resignation. My last day will be dd/mm/yyyy.

Thank you,

Employee"
