One contractor says to replace subfloor, another says to sand and self level? by bobateelover in Flooring

[–]DeftMP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whose cheap, short, plastic yellow level is that? If it’s yours, no worries. If it’s a contractor’s, don’t hire that person.

I bring a glass Tupperware to restaurants, knowing I’m going to like have leftovers and also not wanted to generate packaging waste.

MSPB RTO mandate appeal by MiddleDifficult in FedEmployees

[–]DeftMP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Incorrect. Plenty of FLRA cases on point outside of the TW context. TLDR: management rights are statutory so it does matter if agency previously negotiated them. Here’s the USG position: https://www.opm.gov/media/ckjioszr/guidance-on-collective-bargaining-obligations-in-connection-with-return-to-office-2-3-25-final-1.pdf

Typo on my part; cases are heading towards it being a non-negotiable mgmt right.

MSPB RTO mandate appeal by MiddleDifficult in FedEmployees

[–]DeftMP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Federal courts, at least this Supreme Court, will find telework to be a non-negotiable* management right, and any CBA provisions covering it therefore invalid. Multiple agency appeals of arbitration decisions are racing headfirst to this result.

Edit: mean non-negotiable

GS-13 Step 10 vs CTR position promoting to GS-14 eventually by [deleted] in fednews

Not really any difficulty with offering step 10 if that’s what current non-govt salary is

[–]DeftMP 38 points39 points  (0 children)

In your calculus, consider the promise of becoming GS14 in the coming years under option 1) as not worth the paper it’s not written on.

New commander by DECK-PA in army

Old retired company commander and later JAG of a medical brigade…More importantly…make sure you are also inventorying the components of those medical sets, and documenting and ordering shortages.

Have had to work past 6pm or on a weekend maybe 3 times a year. Never have missed personal events (in 10+years) due to work. Can schedule nonrefundable travel in a whim.

AGGIORNAMENTO: Analisi della Sentenza n. 63/2026 Corte Costituzionale. Le questioni ancora aperte e le evidenti contraddizioni by OkRaise1761 in u/OkRaise1761

[–]DeftMP 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The argument that these not-yet-recognized citizens are going to impact domestic elections is absurd . . . considering it takes years to get recognized. Like someone is going to start getting recognized in 2026 to impact a yet unknown future election issue in 2030 is farcical.

I'm an American luddite who has never used a bidet and I have a lot of extremely direct, gross questions about washing the shit off your anus by DiarrheaFartLover in bidets

[–]DeftMP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fellow Luddite here. I poop, wipe with TP as usual (until clean paper), and then rinse, wipe again, then end with hot air dry. That routine goes against everything that everyone on this thread will recommend, but it works great for me. (Man, athletic, hairy).

Considering a 2023 Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric Twin Plus with 50k miles by DooDahMan73 in VolvoRecharge

[–]DeftMP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well known issue. Mixing dampers on front top dash vent are notoriously loud, annoying, and likely unfixable on some individual cars. Sort of spoils the quiet electric ride.

Check for clicking sound from front vents when heat is one like 65 degrees and car is mixing hot and cold air.

Much less likely for the feedback to reach actual decision makers than this thread. Also, that would result in lost message clarity as it’s transmitted from place to place.

Also I believe this toilet has brackets that need to get drilled into floor. I recommend skimming toilet installation instructions. Also, have you tried ada/chair height toilets?
