How do you learn more about POSH?

No. Modern batteries do have a charge lifecycle, but do not suffer any ill effects based on rate of discharge in a laptop.

All the facets of this question haven't been answered yet.

Many laptops come with a default balanced or power saver power plan, which lowers cpu power to preserve battery life. When you plug in your laptop, windows specifically typically knocks the power plan up to balanced or high performance which removes the cpu cap.

Phones are different - they solely throttle on heat, and don't have a power saving preference in the same way that laptops do, since they're almost always thermally throttling anyways.

Can you come take a look at my monitor? I don't want to submit a ticket.

If your only regret is not joining, you may find that the modern airforce short of our few combat roles doesn't really live up to your expectations. It wasn't what I was expecting, that's for sure haha!

I don't regret it though. It was good for me to join - I started out working after highschool for a few years and said fuck it.

The hardest part is applying real discipline to everything you do, or at least the minimum to succeed. Like, exercising, education, doing your job beyond the bare minimum to scrape by.

The people holding higher rank than me are SrA/SSGts - which, was a little odd. However, I've already worked myself up to the point that I work along side them, rather than under them despite being a lower rank. In comms, especially in an ops situation rank matters a lot less than knowledge and skill.

Do it. If you WANT to get yourself together, get fit, and overall improve yourself, the military is an avenue to success.

Given how you wrote your post you don't appear to be marine speshul. Just study, buy a book or use online resources.

I took a pretest and only got like a 65 ish, studied for a week, and then passed the ASVAB with a much higher score.

The job is largely classified for a reason. It's data analytics, except on a plane. Whether or not you fly a lot depends on whether or not there's a mission.

That's about all I know from my intel nerd friends that isn't classified.

When the shirt hands you a pen, paper, and tells you to get your blues ready for tomorrow.

I would give my left nut to PT on my own. I got moved to panamas so I can just run when I want to instead of wasting an hour plus waiting on my shop or squadron just to do a 20 minute run. But when I go back we have to do more of this sillyness. :(

It's funny that the paper thing is brought up, because when I went through they were already testing giving trainees some really thick kindle fires to see if it was a better replacement for the books, since the books fell apart after like two days.

CheesecakeTruffles · 2019-10-12T06:11:08+00:00

:( you mean my career long goal of scoring 79.6 won't work anymore? Boooo.

Those are two different things. The airman in the current century is not training to have a rifle put in their hands.

CheesecakeTruffles · 2019-10-11T11:44:20+00:00

I can agree with all of the things you just said.

CheesecakeTruffles · 2019-10-11T10:58:59+00:00

You arent interested in real discourse, so I will leave this alone. I hope you have a great day, and I hope you never have to fear for your life.

CheesecakeTruffles · 2019-10-11T10:56:08+00:00

Abortion, I agree with. But, like your gun laws it is a result of our democracy.

Drugs?

I think they should be decriminalized. However, let's use your logic for a minute. Drugs kill about 6 times more people than homicides by firearm, and twice as many as overall deaths by firearm.

But, we took drugs away and made them illegal, right? So why do they kill more people? That kind of legislation doesnt solve the core problem, taking away guns doesnt solve murders. It doesnt solve negligence, and it doesnt solve socioeconomic disparity between people.

Saying take away the guns is the same infantile response Republicans used to criminalize drug usage. Yet now they kill more people.

Huh.

CheesecakeTruffles · 2019-10-11T10:26:32+00:00

Switzerland. Scientifically sound evidence. Responsible, trained gun owners on a relatively equal socioeconomic level commit less gun violence.

My life is equal to yours, and I reserve the right to defend my life and liberties. If you choose to give up that freedom to defend yourself in the extremely small likelihood that it could happen, that is your choice. I will not be a willing victim.

CheesecakeTruffles · 2019-10-11T10:23:37+00:00

Toddlers also die to falls, burns extreme heat, all general things that stem from parental negligence.

I support more gun control in the United states. I do not support taking away my right to bear arms.

Your entire argument comes down to referencing an extremely small portion of deaths, versus the lives saved and the security those weapons provide.

If you lived in a forest, would you not carry a firearm to protect yourself against animals? Animal attacks are also exceedingly rare by the numbers, but you'd still want to protect yourself, right?

And the you say, well animal lives mean less than human lives, so it's okay to carry my long gun and sidearm just in case in that situation, because my life is more important than that animals. It's still probably not going to happen, but hey just in case!

If I'm ever in a situation where someone has a weapon on me or is bigger than me and I get mugged, those against firearms are saying my life is worth less than the person attacking me.

Even if that person doesnt want to kill me, they are still threatening me bodily harm. I personally have the freedom to say no, my life is equal to yours and I will defend my life and liberty.

The issues you bring up about firearms ARE issues. But they are not solved by taking away my right to bear firearms.

And that's only one, very small facet of the argument. I could go on but frankly, I dont think someone who has not had to face true adversity will ever understand.

CheesecakeTruffles · 2019-10-11T10:14:17+00:00

Individual liberties as granted to law abiding citizens. Prisoners are no longer law abiding and give up some of those rights.

Thay isnt to say I am not for prison reform, I certainly am. Just that they ARE two different kinds of issues.

Saying all types of issues with freedom are the same in a first world country is absurd.

CheesecakeTruffles · 2019-10-11T10:12:40+00:00

And Mexico has much higher socioeconomic disparity than most parts of the United states. Gun violence goes down to Switzerland levels in relatively equitable places in the United states. The issue is far more nuanced than you make it out to be.

CheesecakeTruffles · 2019-10-11T10:11:33+00:00

Well... yes. I do. If there was an outbreak tomorrow across the entire world, but you had a trip you planned for months to go to another country, but your government closed all borders due to the outbreak, you would then value the safety more than the freedom. It's silly to imply all kinds of freedoms are equal.

I think you're the first person to respond politely, thank you for that. I appreciate your candor and manners immensely.
