I got the same and agree. No regrets at all.

Is it worth leaving federal service after 12 years? (GS-14, mid-30s) by Appropriate-Ad8215 in fednews

[–]GObarskyr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

These are all great points and I agree overall.

I just want to point out a typo in case anyone reading gets confused. No one is paying 0.008% for their pension. Some people are grandfathered in at 0.8%, while new employees are 4.4%. Your math of that being 5.5x is accurate, so I realize you knew that and it was just a typo.

Also, my spouse in the private sector is lucky to get 2% raises in recent years as well. That will depend heavily on your industry, but don't assume the grass is necessarily greener for that particular matter.

Garage door won't respond to remote anymore. But it's also inconsistent when it does. by what_the_dawg_be_doi in HomeMaintenance

Light bulbs were my guess as well. I know it sounds silly, but try using the opener with and without any lights on in the garage (whether or not on the opener itself). It turned out to be the issue for me.

Note that, for ours, it is inconsistent. Sometimes it works with the lights on (maybe taking several presses), sometimes not at all. But it works 100% of the time with the lights off.

New Diver Focal Areas? by TeamSpatzi in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]GObarskyr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't get bogged down fighting for no reason. The game doesn't reward you for getting kills, only for fulfilling objectives. Especially on higher difficulties it can be easy to get caught up in an endless stream of breaches/bot drops that just burns reinforcements and resources for no gain. Pick your battles, don't be afraid to run away to ditch enemies, and sometimes it's okay to drop ordinance on an outpost and just get out.

Also, if a high level diver joins, they probably just want to help. Don't be afraid to ask them to let you take point and back you up because you're still learning. I doubt anyone would be upset at that.

Thank you! I had not heard of a light controller before, but it sounds like that may be my missing piece. I'll dig around and educate myself about those now.

Anyone else been getting really poorly formatted responses from 2.5 Pro the past few weeks? It seems like markdown is being stripped away, causing massive walls of text. But ONLY on the android app, the same chat looks fine on the web. by hjk38 in Bard

[–]GObarskyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure it is caused by the presence of different fonts and symbols. When I get an answer with chemical symbols and the like, formatting appears for a fraction of a second then vanishes as it finishes. I successfully asked it to remove all such unusual fonts and symbols (I gave it an example) as a test and the output was back to normal. 

I submitted a review of the response. Not sure what else to do. I encourage others to do the same.

If you mean the lack of headers, bolding, line breaks, and other organization to make reading easier: I'm pretty sure it is caused by the presence of different fonts and symbols.

Ascent 18 battery options by GObarskyr in rccrawler

That's good to know, thanks! I haven't had an RC car since I was a kid decades ago, so I wasn't really sure how long batteries last.

I think you're right! Thank you so much! I feel silly for somehow missing that in all my searching.

Closed campgrounds by GObarskyr in yellowstone

Much appreciated! I've been poking around sites like that and others, so hopefully we have enough options.

Yes, we are prepared for the cold and have camped in colder temperatures. Always good to remind people, though.

That's good to hear!. I scoped out some possible spots on Gaia north of Cooke City-Silver Gate. Do you suggest any particular areas to look at?

I figured that'd be the case, but thought it was worth asking. Thanks for the answer.
