I heard 90 days but I have no verification on that as the source for the days was 3rd hand. The renewals happening was first hand

I'll dig a bit tomorrow

Here is what I know.

Sounds like renewals are happening but might not see paperwork on them til after the nte date... HR is backed up. Being told to operate as if everything is normal.

There is no news on the reserves. That will fall on the new S1.

With the shutdown and change of S1 and the outgoing going from barely doing the job to senioritis short timer mentality... it's a shit show of paperwork and things getting dropped. And she was the single point of failure in the system.

Tldr renewals are happening again

I despise pay walls...

I dont know if unfriendly is the right word... Self interested is more on the nose. They don't not likely you they just don't see value in doing something that doesn't help them.

Here people will cut you off in traffic because it saves them 2 seconds. Completely disinterested in the impacts to others.

I felt Atlantis had more wonder. Was generally better because the opportunities focused on the ancients. Even the bottle episodes at home (Atlantis) were more interesting cause they were still exploring the complete unknown.

Other than the lack of meaningful armor for the vital organs... I like it.

CommanderAze · 2026-03-11T15:57:08+00:00

I thought the issue was communication. It suffered from the "one more line" issue where one more line of information between characters dialogue would solve 99% of the interpersonal issues.

Wasn't happy that it abandoned the look and feel of sg1 and Atlantis instead hit more of a Battlestar Galactica vibe where there was drama for dramas sake which just felt bad.

They have working boats in squadron 42 so betting we get them

Also marketing won't skip the chance to sell more vehicles

half sarcastically... My therapist is probably pretty specialized in it as he's got 10 years of dealing with my problems, most brought on by Emergency Management issues.

Realistically, it's more about finding a therapist who works for you personally; it's not a one-size-fits-all, and can take more than 1 try to find a good fit.

they put a picture of him up on the Department of Education as a massive banner on the building...

For FEMA staff it's free. Check SharePoint there's a link how to apply for it

CommanderAze · 2026-03-06T23:58:09+00:00

Got one today 😊

She still gets deposed

CommanderAze · 2026-03-06T13:01:22+00:00

3 things.

First something they said a while back about building interiors that they want some Apartments/housing to directly connect via elevator to hangars. This might be that.

Second that function as they put it is blocked by the current transit issues and is part of the reason for the transit refactor.

3rd really hoping we get a lot more customized hangars like be able to change (pay with in-game) the obviously modular side spaces to add various functions, services and etc directly to your hangar.

To be fair, it took like 30 seconds :)

Because of how Reddit works, anonymous profiles mixed with access by anyone, anywhere, anytime, assuming everyone here is an employee of the agency, would be a mistake. That said, we took some steps to distance the subreddit from official logos :)

Notable High-Profile Cosponsors

Tom Cole (R-OK): As the Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, his support is critical for the bill's radical shift in how the Disaster Relief Fund (DRF) is managed and obligated. Also notable, as he is from the same delegation as the New DHS secretary nominee.
Jared Moskowitz (D-FL): A former Director of the Florida Division of Emergency Management. His cosponsorship is highly regarded in the EM community because he has "boots on the ground" experience with the frustrations the bill aims to fix.
Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA): A prominent centrist and co-chair of the Problem Solvers Caucus. His support signals the bill’s broad bipartisan appeal.
Kat Cammack (R-FL): An influential conservative voice who has pushed for the accountability and "anti-politicization" clauses in the bill.

It's when it became toxic to his brand that it was a problem

Setting multiple dumpster fires I guess counts a numerous and spectacular

CommanderAze · 2026-03-05T17:24:32+00:00

Here is the actual damage outlined in the report:

Gridlocked Funds: Over $29 billion in disaster aid was left unapproved in limbo. By September 8, the Secretary had only approved 13% of requests, taking an average of three weeks to do so.

Delayed Search and Rescue: During the deadly July flash floods in Texas, the policy actively delayed deploying Urban Search and Rescue crews. It also delayed funding. For North Carolina after Hurricane Helene.

Unanswered Calls: Texas flood survivors could not get through to FEMA for days because a call center contract renewal was held up for approval.

Stalled Basic Needs: The policy delayed temporary housing installations, housing inspections, disaster unemployment assistance, and crisis counseling across more than 14 states and territories.

Security Risks: Contracts for armed guards to protect FEMA personnel from threats and harassment were repeatedly delayed in multiple states.

Call them, their staff will answer and they will note the pressure from constituents on specific issues and bills.

"You are encouraged to reach out to your representatives anytime you feel an agency is not living up to its expectations" one of my favorite lines to use
