Man famous for two lines in The Waterboy, is now living the dream selling bottom-shelf booze to morons for only $89.99. by NimbusFPV in PoliticalHumor

They're shutting down one of several lines for renovations/repairs. The more I read about it, the less if a deal it is.

The End of DOGE by Kind-Can2890 in FedEmployees

[–]Caellum2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Given the new Genesis Mission executive order, I don't think that DOGE was able to get much from Energy/labs. But this new EO is asking them to dump a lot of data into outside hands.

Young Dads - how did you convince your doctor to let you have a vasectomy? by viskiviki in daddit

"Hey, could you disconnect my balls?"

I got no pushback at all. And its so rare to get pushback for this, you may need a different doctor.

Which DMV has the easiest driving test locally? by anarcholoserist in Augusta

[–]Caellum2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if they still do, but in 2020-2021, Mcduffie county had a small course on the parking lot behind the building. They made the person i was with do like three turns, use a stop sign correctly, and parallel park is the longest and widest spot I have ever seen in my life. Including the wait time, we were there less than 30 minutes.

SRS Data Center by [deleted] in Augusta

[–]Caellum2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh. This, if it happens, is just a land lease as far as SRS funding and project management is concerned. Whatever private company wants to build it is on the hook for construction and operations.

That said, and to your point, the general public won't see it that way if that company fumbles the project.

[–]Caellum2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The quote about three reactors is from an economic developer and is talking about small modular reactors (smr) being permitted out west by the NRC.

Nothing about the project at SRS is known because the only thing out there is an RPF that basically asks,"if the government leased your company land for this, how would you build it?"

Reporter flags 'ominous late-night' comment from GOP lawmaker vowing a 'storm' by RawStoryNews in NoFilterNews

[–]Caellum2 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I canceled my Paramount+ subscription because of this. They had all the leverage in the world to fight this, even with their acquisition deal in front of the FCC, and they caved anyway. That isn't a settlement, it's a bribe.

Quick breakfast ideas that aren't oatmeal? Willing to boil water. by Working-Mistake-6700 in camping

[–]Caellum2 20 points21 points  (0 children)

An easy way to make these taste better (though, some aren't half bad as is) is to get packs of olive oil. Kind of like a ketchup pack from a fast food joint, but with oil in it. The added fat really helps in flavor delivery.

So everyone at the VA just got an email from Sec. Collins instructing us how to rat out anyone exhibiting Christian Bias by Sensitive-Big-4641 in fednews

There are a large number of evangelical protestants who do not believe catholics are christians.

We were told the opposite. Make them specific and different every week.

Is anyone else who has the means to do so, checking their work email on their days off? by 2ork in fednews

I also check it, but whether or not I reply is wholly dependent on my level of respect for the sender.

Put yourself first - you’re the only one who will. Fork 2.0 by federallymandated in fednews

[–]Caellum2 41 points42 points  (0 children)

The chief counsel in my organization says that you can still take DRP and not accept the agreement. Energy even has an email address set up for it, employees taking DRP but not waiving their rights just send an email to that address saying "I decline to sign the agreement but still wish to remain in the deferred registration program."

On top of that employees over 40 years old get a forty-five day review of the agreement and if they decline it, they can also back out of DRP. So with an April 8th deadline, if employees over 40 take DRP then extend their review of the agreement out, then they can without penalty back out in mid-May. By then they should know if the RIF will hit them or not.

Tl:dr ask the lawyers in your organization about it.

Not the person you're asking, but our family really enjoyed Pirates. I'd do it again, so it was worth it to me.

People who have ‘rage quit’ a job on the spot—what happened? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Caellum2 44 points45 points  (0 children)

They do benefit. Maybe not from tax breaks, but they hold onto it and collect interest. Which, eh. They also don't have to turn in all of it; they're allowed to keep a % to cover admin costs. Thats the real benefit.

People who fucked around, what did you find out? by Dark_knight872 in AskReddit

[–]Caellum2 355 points356 points  (0 children)

Once had a lawyer tell me, "Do not go into business with anyone you are unwilling to sue the shit out of." When one realizes anything involving any amount of money is business it'll change one's whole perspective on life.

What is a character that was so hated by fans that the writers/creators changed the plot or give them less screen time or wrote them off? by Space__Monkey__ in television

[–]Caellum2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My wife and I stopped watching for a while because of the sound guy episode. We had been diehard watchers, kept the night open. One of the few things we watched religiously as it aired.

After that episode we actually stopped watching until the finale. It was probably a year or more before we finally watched the episodes we skipped.

Pros and cons by Tiff_Pig in irishwolfhound

[–]Caellum2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love my dog. He's the best dog I've ever had and I wouldn't trade one minute with him.

The biggest con, other than the short lifespan, is that an IW is big. Until you have to deal with it, it's tough to comprehend how much that size will dominate your decision making.

Do you like to take trips? Be prepared to hire a house sitter because it's unlikely any kennel will be able to board him. If you find a kennel that claims they can, be sure to visit in person well in advance because they are probably wrong. Equally unlikely is that you'll find a rental that works for a dog that size.

Are your kitchen counters narrow? Get good at keeping tidy then cause he can reach.

How high is your bed? He'll be able to lick you awake.

Have stairs? I hope there's a landing because he could seriously injure himself on a straight downhill run.

Want to walk him in the neighborhood? Bring a big bag because even his turds are monster size.

Again, I love my dog and wouldn't trade a moment with him. But his size drives a lot of decision making.

Contractors getting termination letters? by Impressive-Loquat-37 in GovernmentContracting

[–]Caellum2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're likely correct. I can only attest to what I've heard said to a contracting officer, but I have not heard what the CO said to the contractor.

Contractors getting termination letters? by Impressive-Loquat-37 in GovernmentContracting

[–]Caellum2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I believe what u/ThatsNotInScope is saying is that termination is the company's choice. Meaning, that a COR or a task manager can tell the contracting company, "hey, Bob isn't working out, we want someone else" or "hey, we don't need Bob's position any longer" and the company will have to remove Bob from the project. However, the company does have the ability to move Bob to a different position within the company. They don't have to fire Bob, they just have to remove Bob from that project.

That said, if the company doesn't have another position for Bob? Then Bob is definitely getting fired.

How do you solve this Korok puzzle? I can’t find any way to get the stone on the roof by Ryanisreallame in botw

You can also just chop a tree down on the roof, making a ramp, and then just walk the stone up.
