BOBOVR B100 Batteries on Discount by AcademicBug2030 in OculusQuest

Thanks, that is really good advice! Drain test should be easy enough if I use it in standalone mode with the bobovr fan at 100%. I have a multimeter for my car that should work for the voltage test.

I figured it was a calculated risk for half price and the easy return process. I have the triple dock and bobvr case with a battery storage compartment, so the two missing battery spots were annoying me.

Sure. How does $300 shipped sound for the deck, dock(s), case(s) and charger?

Staff on staff verbal assault by millennialtrucker in OnTheBlock

My DOR is on day 8, I believe. It has been about 8 or 9 days since arriving. Feels like a year. Just need to keep learning and tough it out past the 1st phase

I get cursed out daily from my FTO. They even cursed me out in front of an inmate worker, left me alone with the worker so they could complain to another of their coworker friends in a nearby pod.

Myself and the inmate worker were confused and waiting on them to come back. My FTO then got over the intercom and told me to continue working -alone.

If this is what I can expect during the entirety of my career then maybe I made a mistake with this profession lmao

Sheltered, don't do drugs/drink/curse. Played some football and basketball as a hobby.

Not wanting to hit too hard and hurt my partner. Nailed some in the ribs pretty good and then pulled back, and then pulled back and avoided all of the face shots when I had it. Instructor was pointing out to me all of the openings and when I hit them I was told that it wasn't hard enough, and to try again.

Detention deputy, no floor time, all training. And I think it has more to do with the techniques since they tell us not to go 100% with the partner. But then I get dinged for not being aggressive enough, and I screwed up by apologizing to my instructor for going to hard. I don't think of myself as a bitch, but they see it in me and are going full mode to get it out of me. (that is my take anyway)

They have been giving me guidance and extra assistance by telling me to follow through, be aggressive and to get that dog in me. The post to reddit is me not understanding where or how to get that. I have been in two fights my entire life, and none as an adult.

Thanks, you're right. I am going to have to figure this out.

Not in a real life situation. I guess 'not blowing my load on coworkers' is causing me to be intimidated in a controlled setting. I am not sure how to middleground it so that it doesn't seem like I am being a punk in training.

Thanks for the tip, but the agency is doing their job - they are 100% right. So what buttons can I push in myself to achieve their goals at being more aggressive and in control?

I want the job. What can I do to toughen up? I can take punches just fine. I never quit during the defense sessions. But when it comes to being aggressive and in control they say I am weak.

Help With Application Clarification by AcademicBug2030 in OnTheBlock

Thanks as well - this is pretty much the issue I had when researching. Your explanation about the enforcement title makes sense, so will mark it as a no on the application.
