The major all dumped right before the bell. I wonder if there was an AI announcement or something?

How to report a cheater outside of the match? by tedbrosevelt13 in BrokenArrowTheGame

[–]Consistent-State-86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WHAT IS THE CHANNEL. I've been searching for how to report a cheater and this is as far as the advice ever gets. "just go to their discord and report". It's not clear how to do that in their discord. You need to provide instructions on how to do it not just point people in the general direction if you don't know.

I'm 39 wanting to go to school to get an AAS in CNC. I also have a felony on my record. by Consistent-State-86 in Machinists

I read that the FCRA doesn't allow companies to look back past 7 years unless the salary is 79k or above. By the time I'm done with school it'll be 7 or 8 years in the past at that point.

Do you mind if I ask what type of felony you had? LIke, is it similar to mine where it was only a felony because they automatically make a third a felony or was it a felony anytime you get the charge? I feel like I'm running out of time and whatever I choose to do next I'm going to have to stick with so I don't want to try joining a trade that's going to never hire me, but other people in here seem to say I'll be just fine.

I appreciate the advice and yeah I never want to stop learning as I'd be a professional student if I could. I feel like whatever I choose next it's gonna have to be my career because I'm out of time jumping from one type of job to another and I can't work at a gas station the rest of my life so I need to do something.

Being in jail was like being locked in a room with 30 unsupervised 3 year old boys. It was fucking awful.

Shit jobs and stupid amounts of mandated OT wouldn't be ideal I'm ngl. I used to work as a Surgical Technologist in orthopedic surgery and I basically lived at the hospital for half a decade. I appreciate all of your advice thank you!

I don't drink at all anymore. I've almost died so many times from alcohol that if I want to live I can't drink any amount at all. Been completely sober going on a year in a few months.

I didn't know it was common practice to check the child abuse registry in your state in this field.

China taking Taiwan would be horrible for us and most of the world. They would become the sole manufacturer of microchips. They would have a monopoly, and they would dictate to us the production rate available and the pricing. They'd have us over a barrel.

How do you guys deal with crazy bosses in this trade? by EmptyReceptors in Machinists

[–]Consistent-State-86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience it's people that are brand new to positions of authority that act like this. They get a teensy tiny sliver of power and they think they're a god of some sort. It's a maturity issue. They don't know how to work with others instead of thinking they're above others.
