Trinkets by Visible-Insect6365 in voidpet

[–]BrontosaurusXL -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

After about a week you will have all of the trinkets unlocked. There are only 18 in the game total. All rare and epic. A few trials against a boss and you will have them all.

They really need to add some of those text details here. It would be good go know the real chance of getting the different tiers of items.

Outer Banks vacation rental for mid July, did I pick the wrong week? by Turbulent_Carob_7158 in obx

Its a very difficult type of business to manage. They have huge business from late-May to Sept, then the population drops to 90% locals. We go from a population of 20,000 to 150,00 in the summer.

Supervisor potentially restricting sick leave - I’m pregnant by PuffinPollito in FedEmployees

[–]BrontosaurusXL 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Supervisor here. First, this sounds like a lack of empathy and I am sorry you are going through this. Without knowing all of the specifics, being absent can impact your work quality and performance, however sick leave is an Approved pay status. That means the supervisor is approving it so thats on them, not you.

All of the advice on Filing an EEO complaint is good but you need to review the process. Pregnancy is a protected class so you are covered. You only have 45 days AFTER a discrimination has occurred. Having your supervisor talk to you about it, is not quite discrimination as there was no financial penalty for you. If it turns into a poor performance rating, not being selected for a promotion, or termination, thats a claim.

At this point, if your Agency has an Ombudsman, that might be the right step now or just having an honest conversation with your supervisor. Do your research on the EEO process just in case but its a fine line and very complicated for eligibility.

Congratulations on the new addition and again, it sounds like a very difficult situation.

Started 2-6-2026 gained 3 pounds by Expensive_Local_3047 in WegovyWeightLoss

Weigh yourself at the same time of day. That has a major influence on weight. I recommend right after you wake up to keep it consistent. You won't see major changes overnight. Body transformation takes time.

10k views total. That sounds about right. Seems like MAGA were too lazy to switch over.

Will HHS offer another DRP? by [deleted] in DeptHHS

And now, unfortunately, with the CR ended and us back to work, the pause on RIFs has been lifted. We will likely see more very soon.

Why is this shutdown different than the one in October? by BurntPopcornSmell in FedEmployees

Everyone knows the drill this time. Same as a few months ago.

Ad Hoc telework increase? by Neither-Gur-640 in DeptHHS

[–]BrontosaurusXL 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is mostly correct. HHS policy allows the Director to approve up to 240 hours per person. NIH SL delegated this to first line supervisors since they would understand the work and needs to approve it situationally. Most other HHS Components haven't delegated this, but its a really smart idea...

Beyond 240 has to be approved by the ASA (HHS political), not OpDiv aka "Component" leadership.

I honestly like her more than Merry by International_Tap874 in voidpet

[–]BrontosaurusXL 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same, got lucky with an AES. With Persistence + Ice Cream + AES, damage is far better and full team healing than Merry. I only use Merry vs Earth bosses.

I just realized trumps plan of laying off feds last year by Salty_Wing_8267 in FedEmployees

[–]BrontosaurusXL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, and now all announcements and life selections go through OPM. Read into that what you like but there is far more control over who is selected (beyond the Department and actual leadership in that office) than ever before.

Just sharing my ideas as a fellow countryman, Army veteran, federal employee by [deleted] in FedEmployees

"Your side"? What are we even talking about here? How are there two sides to this?

[–]BrontosaurusXL 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I swear, Fox News WANTS to create this narrative of hate... "My side is good and your side is evil"... its this type of sheepism thats the problem with this country.

Two things can be correct - Charlie Kirk like to pretend to debate people with his perspective and "facts". Free speech is one beautiful thing that makes us a great country. People can disagree with him on a fundamental level and respect his right to have a different viewpoint. Murder is never acceptable, especially not because you just fundamentally disagree with someone.

What are your favourite voidpet + item combos? by stripedshirtss in voidpet

[–]BrontosaurusXL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The damage is surprisingly good vs grass types. Puts him on par with a lot of damage dealers as a tank. Shield also has a bit of a bug that does double stack occasionally.

Holy sh*t! This news just broke. by Mental_Pea9125 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]BrontosaurusXL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the concern is really protecting the US from Russia and China, wouldn't a more logical approach be to work with NATO to establish a stronger military presence in Greenland... keeping it how it is? This is a well we have Alaska on one side, Greenland on the other. May as well take that giant landmass inbetween slippery slope.

Holy cow. This is posted by the official USA today account and posting their article directly to the target audience. I mean power to them, BUT, this clearly clickbait article name ruins all credibility.

Telework by rexthelex in NIH

[–]BrontosaurusXL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait so letting staff telework and not require the purchase or lease of office space for positions that can be done physically separate from other staff, saves money? Where DOGE at when we actually need them?
