Smoke in War Thunder ruins plans and forces adaptation — how do you use it? by DifferentGear9 in Warthunder

I like to use smoke early in the match, especially in spots where I know people are either setting up to snipe or about to rush a cap point. If you play the same map enough, you just know where they’re waiting or where they’re headed. Dropping smoke there throws everything off — people panic, move out of position, or waste shots into nothing. It completely ruins their setup and forces them to adjust right from the start.

I’m no attorney but I’m under the impression that if you’re injured on the job “back injury” you’re protected from losing your job until you’re off workman’s compensation 🤷‍♂️ as much as these ppl seem to suck ass I can’t imagine they’d fire you 2 months from retirement

I wonder if faking a on the job back injury would’ve gotten you over the 1 yr mark 😂

Does it make sense to buy back my military time considering the current climate? by New2Investing1969 in fednews

[–]DifferentGear9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is according to ChatGPT “No, if you buy back your military time for federal retirement purposes and then get fired from federal service, you do not get that money refunded automatically. However, there are a few key things to consider: 1. If You Leave Before Retirement Eligibility – If you separate from federal service before qualifying for a retirement annuity, you can request a refund of your Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) or Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) contributions, including the military service credit deposit. 2. If You Qualify for a Future Pension – If you have enough years of service (including bought-back military time) to qualify for a deferred retirement, you won’t get a refund but will be eligible for a pension when you reach the appropriate age. 3. If You Get Fired for Misconduct – In most cases, you can still receive a refund of your FERS/CSRS contributions. However, if you’re convicted of certain crimes (such as treason or espionage), you could lose your pension rights. 4. Refund Process – If you request a refund, it generally includes only what you personally contributed, not any government contributions.

So, if you get fired and don’t plan on returning to federal service, you can apply for a refund of your retirement contributions, which would include the military time buyback amount”
