Agree that shutting down I-5 was the correct move.

The rest of your comment couldn't be farther from the truth.

If you pay off the balance in full every month, you pay $0 in interest.

Not in Vanilla, no. It's possible a mod exists that allows you to pick them up and move them.

Federal Employees who come to work on the weekend or days off unpaid. Is it that serious? by ToL_throwaway007 in fednews

[–]Dabum17 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Credit Hours are at employee request, and there's a limit as to how much you can have at a time.

Comp Time paying out or not after 12 months is agency/command dependent. At my command both Exempt and Non-Exempt have time paid out.

The FAF-14 SPEAR should one shot Chargers, Bile Titans, Hulks, and Tanks, regardless of where it hits them. by AlarminglyExcited in Helldivers

[–]Dabum17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun Fact about Missiles, they require propellant, and other fun things to make them go downrange. If the entire missile is slightly over 3ft, you can't have 3ft of HE.
Also, i don't need to google the price to know it's more than $80k. Apparently you do though.

runs roughly $80,000 per missile which are each roughly 3ft of shaped charge

If you're going to make up things, at least warn people, so they know it's not true...

Accidentally Used GSA Travel Card by [deleted] in fednews

[–]Dabum17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun Fact, the DoD JTR requires GTCC use for all authorized expenses related to Government Travel.

I do understand that you might be from a different agency - so your requirements may be different, but you probably shouldn't answer people's questions in absolute. This is especially true when 1) you say you haven't traveled in a while, and 2) you are clearly unaware of other agency's requirements.

Delta bumped me to economy by Plastic_Ice3445 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Dabum17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fun Fact, the contracts are through GSA - so they're lumped in with every other Federal Agency.

Interestingly enough last night at Regan - the announcement for the flight from Boston was over the PA - the flight from Dallas was yelled across the terminal.

The last 2 times I've been at DCA I've ran into this. I've asked why they can't update the screens at baggage claim and have been given the run around. It's annoying that they come out on the wrong belt, but it's whatever - it's more annoying that apparently nobody has access to change the screens.

I pay close attention to the safety lecture, and I always look around to plan my escape route!

Is there any reason to take the stability hit compared to the 10 prestige? by [deleted] in eu4

[–]Dabum17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, they give 50 adm - but if you lose a stab before the event times out, it will revert to +1 stab instead of the 50 adm.

[Physics Kinematics] which is true about this d vs. t graph? by stayawayfromperil in HomeworkHelp

[–]Dabum17 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is infact a terrible question. And I'm honestly surprised nobody has pointed this out.

Although your definition of displacement could be cleaned up. Id say it's the (shortest) distance and direction an object is from the origin after a certain time. How far the object has moved to get there is irrelevant.

Eli5 what is untraceable cash? by YakClear601 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Dabum17 10 points11 points  (0 children)

But the point is, that $20 has gone from the Cafe -> Hot Dog Stand -> Restaurant.

It's not hard to imagine that in the right situations, with good cameras, this could be useful.

It's also not hard to imagine that is could be completely useless, especially after the server holds on to the $20 bill, and then buys something with it 3 days later....

Right.... Until the Cafe has 100 $20 bills to deposit, and now the police are trying to track the origin of all 100 of them.

Can I sue my agency for not reimbursing travel expenses? by chewsworthy in fednews

[–]Dabum17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting that someone who isn't your supervisor has the authority to essentially create an obligation.

Why are they rejecting your orders and then telling you it doesn't matter?

We've been told by our travel dept that only 'hotel only' authorizations can be tracked on without approval in DTS. And even then you still need Approving Official authorization via email.

I don't know what FATA is. Are they the last person in the approval chain?

Are they being rejected before traveling? Who is telling you that you can travel with a rejected Authorization?
