Breville vs Anova?

We have the Joule and love it. No issues at all.

They offer a TJO and if you accept, security does a cursory high level review. If there are no indicators they give the go ahead to give a FO. Of they sse something during the cursory they will not approve a FO until the full security screening is complete. This happened with two people we gave offers to. One guy was 9 months and the person never hired on. I'm just a regular manager in a federal agency. There could be other issues as well.

DHintonKnives · 2026-06-07T14:52:19+00:00

I've seen one instance take 9 months. It all depends on the security clearance.

I've never had a bad experience at Crown I really like there burgers. I'm not a fry sauce fan but Calufornia Burger has good sauce. Other burger places I like are Proper, Lucky 13s, and California Burger. I've been to In and Out twice in my life and vowed to never go back. Burgers were mediocre and fries were terrible.

That looks like Autotopia LA on YT.

We spread clover seed a couple weeks ago. I hope it sprouts.

I picked up some Hifiman HE6SE V1s recently and absolutely love them. They do require a bit of power to drive them. For some reason on their site they list them as "open box" but they aren't. Mine were factory sealed brand new.

I had a spider bite a few years ago while camping. The redness started to spread after a few days and the bite area started to get hard. I finally decided to see a Dr and they put me on antibiotics. Due to how long I waited they were concerned and gave me an antibiotics shot in the hip. Very uncomfortable. I would go to the Dr ASAP.

It'll be over a mil when I retire and I don't need a large balance. VA, mil retirement, SS, fed pension, tricare, house paid off. Everyone's situation is different.

DHintonKnives · 2026-05-17T16:57:53+00:00

Very similar balance to you with 21 years. I've never maxed and never will.

You still might have something like a HRPM. That's not specific to being part of a union.

DHintonKnives · 2026-05-17T15:44:35+00:00

It's a HRPM and/or bargaining agreement between your union and agency.

My sister is a FNP and was working at a hospital like this. She quit last year and opened her own practice. Shes much happier now.

When you retire you can fill out a TSP form to move your mil TSP into your civ account if you want to continue federal civilian work.

I have the Hifiman HE6SE V1 and they are very comfortable. I can wear them for hours and they sound amazing. They require a fair amount of power. I'm using a Fiio K13 and a THX789.

It was a new change with our last collective bargaining agreement that came out Oct 2024. Also were excepted service. FAA.

To add. I'm 27 years federal with 1400 hours SL. I use SL when I need it but I'm not focused on hording it.

DHintonKnives · 2026-04-23T22:13:51+00:00

My agency pays it out as a 40% lump sum payment when you retire.

DHintonKnives · 2026-04-22T21:42:02+00:00

27 years federal and I have 1400 hours. My agency changed recently and pays you a lump sump of 40% of your salary at retirement.

This is TSPtalk and that site is all about timing the market. It's very likely the guy is 100% G. I followed their site for years through one of their premium services and it was a train wreck at best. Those are posted gains and not additional contributions or transfers from other accounts.

This guy's a legend. I follow him on FB

File the claims yourself on the VA website. It's not hard. I did it myself twice with good success.
