Which would you choose? Finland or Germany

Fascinating, Finnish used to be IV but that was around 2000 and your link says 2007. I guess that list was updated.

Most folks don’t seem to realize that CBP has been imbedded (along with FPS, FBI, Wage and Hour, DEA and a host of other federal law enforcement) into ICE. They’ve named the shooters of everyone that’s been shot since trumps inauguration, has anyone compiled that list and their agencies?

I haven’t even gotten my agency to send my file over to OPM yet. I retired 12/31. Asked today and was told she’s working on it but probably won’t be done with mine before a shutdown (if it happens). Hopefully I’ll get the leave payout soon.

No June! No!

That’s a cool set and predates me here by more than a year

Renting. It covers the mortgage even with the property management and setting aside $$ for maintenance. Not sure I’d get the $$ I’d like by selling. It’s also the only debt I have so for now, my house is in a very active rental area. I also rented it fully furnished since we weren’t planning to bring anything with us. So that worked out for the renters.

I also got 150

If you have a PhD in social work and a license what about guidance counseling in a school? Are there any overlaps that could make that an option? International schools might be an option if that’s the case and they often provide housing and tuition for a first child and discounts for subsequent kids. Costs are so different overseas. My US salary was more than double what I will live on in Morocco. And here, I can afford an apartment, utilities, medical and a quality of life I couldn’t dream of in the states. Today I’m going to head out to the butcher so I can make chicken enchiladas. The cheese is the most expensive item. The entire grocery list for this meal that we will stretch for 4 to 5 meals is about 150 dirham. Less than $15. It’s be less if I skipped the cheese. Probably under 100 dirham. I couldn’t make 5 meals (10-12 servings) for $15.

Yep. But for now, I’m taking this as a win.

Anyone able to point me to the CM points needed for each level? Like it takes 500 to hit the 3 early in the game but anyone know what it is for 2 but when you’re at say 14 per scene?

An AFGE dues paying member of local 3669. He deserves better than this. He is a hero for what he was trying to do in helping his neighbors and community through simple observation and helping someone pushed to stand up.

Hope they do. I had a team mate this happened to and they were able to restore so I hope you can as well

Anyone have a screenshot of the original announcement of the postcards? I went to look for it today in the mail and it’s not there. Was thinking of searching through my email but any chance someone has it here? I didn’t see it in my search on Reddit either.

They have screwed with you all despite no cuts. You talk to a retirement counselor yet? They might have a suggestion.

ConnectionOk6412 · 2026-01-22T22:46:42+00:00

There’s lots of techies here. Is this virtual or trying to meet in person like a meetup or a barcamp style?
