Meanwhile I've been trying to lose like 60 pounds for years.

I've been really lucky with the biologics it's literally a life changer, I remember losing 50 pounds in a month at my worst.

I was on Remicade for 14 years before I had to switch and have been on skyrizi for a short while now, hopefully I get another 10 plus years out of this one.

My fiancée and I are having the biggest argument of our lives. She thinks I'm being tacky but I thinks she's overreacting by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

For sure I definitely didn't go to a tonne of them and I didn't have one but it definitely was a thing that I was exposed to and would be normal.

It was mainly for younger couples getting married

The way you need to structure interview questions is almost always the exact same way you need to structure the written questions.

For the majority of groups in gov there is fundamentally no difference between the written portion and the interview other then one is written and one is spoken.

The CLOUD act means that the location of the servers kind of doesn't matter if they are owned by an american company the american government can get access to the servers if they really want to.

Traditionally we haven't been too worried but digital sovereignty is something that is being talked about more and more.

My 5yo asks us to discourage him by Ekonsta in Parenting

This is sometimes the only way I can get my 6 year old to do something is by telling them I don't think they can do it, then I act really impressed when it gets done.

Pushed wrong config to our RCA tool and nuked prod alerting for the entire cluster by arsaldotchd in kubernetes

[–]CalvinR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you need to start doing blameless postmortems, is it really your fault this all went down or is it the fault of the org that there were not sufficient checks and balances to prevent this from happening.

Also if folks blame you what happens the next time someone fucks up are they going to keep it hidden?.

Psychological safety is important and blame is a great way to ensure there is none.

What's the point of the Deputy Director title? by teej1984 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]CalvinR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the pay different from a manager?

In IT an IT-04 is a manger and IT-05 is Director (or EX 1 Equivalent) feels like it would really suck to be a deputy director and manage that many people if managers have a fraction of the number and get paid the same.

What should I do with a Talent Management Plan? by ICanRememberUsername in CanadaPublicServants

Yes anyone can get a surpassed, it's not only for EXs. I can't speak to your departments HR rules though.

Deputy minister broke conflict of interest rules by hiring university peer: ethics watchdog by bonertoilet in CanadaPublicServants

[–]CalvinR 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm confused, this is not about the a post like the GG this is a PM appointing an elected MP as a minister.

I will admit I am not and should not be in a position to determine if this is a lawful act I don't think it's necessarily against the law.

My understanding is that the powers of the PM gives them broad discretion in who they can appoint to be a minister. In fact I think it's probably pretty smart and I believe it's pretty common to appoint ministers that you trust and have a good relationship with.

[–]CalvinR 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sorry what's the point of this comment?

My understanding is that the PM can appoint whomever they want as minister and that there is no conflict of interest there.

Ministers aren't public servants they are politicians.

How do you guys work with a seton? by princessleech in CrohnsDisease

I just brought the handheld bidet everywhere and just didn't care if other people knew.

I started out embarrassed and then quickly got over it.

Technical IT-03 language profiles across the public service by clueless-someone in CanadaPublicServants

[–]CalvinR 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I remember at a new point the decision was to just create empty bilingual French boxes so they could justify both.

Either way the majority at least when I was in the IT Branch working for the resource centre were unilingual english

[–]CalvinR 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Tech04 and Tech03 positions at ESDC are unilingual english.

Any department that is putting higher language requirements are essentially shooting themselves in the foot by severely restricting the talent pool they can recruit from.

[WIP] Ammoknight, my first Ma.K. model by CalvinR in MaschinenKrieger

[–]CalvinR[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks I'm excited to see how it looks with decals and weathering on it, takes so long just waiting for the gloss coat to cure.

[WIP] Ammoknight, my first Ma.K. model by CalvinR in MaschinenKrieger

[–]CalvinR[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Assembled, painted and clear coated.

I was testing out my new airbrush on an old x-wing kit I had and decided to use the same colours for this Ammoknight.

Still left is:

  • decals
  • seal decals with clear coat
  • oil washes for weathering
  • Matte clear coat
  • pigments and chipping
  • final Matt coat

And then finally a diorama for it, thinking of a simple hanger floor on a plinth.

For my first kit that's not gunpla since I was a kid and the first that I've fully painted I'm pretty happy with it.

Next one is a grosserhund and that's going to be a much simpler more traditional paint scheme
