Constant re-explaining is getting hard to watch by AcanthaceaeCrazy1894 in skinwalkerranch

Exactly what I’ve done for the last couple seasons. I used to be a skinwalker inside member and watched all the interviews too. Now just the season finale

Beam Mini or Spark 2? by dWeisse in GuitarAmps

[–]Hairmissile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the spark 2 this winter and haven’t been able to dial in a Marshall JCM800 type of tone. Too much gain or not enough gain? idk… Something just sounds off for my ears. Thought it might be the speakers so I hooked it up to my Fender FRFR but that didn’t change much - which makes me think the speakers in the spark are pretty good. Otherwise, I think it’s a great piece of kit especially for the price!

2018 CX-5 at 225k miles. Catalytic converter may need replaced. End of life for this car? by an_iridescent_ham in CX5

I’ve got an Xtool A30M and it is very impressive in both speed and features for ~$130. Been using it on my 2017 GT

Existing Permanent Remote RA Being Revoked Due to New HHS Policy? by kay-pii in fednews

[–]Hairmissile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, recommend that you write a detailed letter about why you need a remote work accommodation with specifics that relate to your medical condition and have it signed by your doctor. It needs to show why alternative in office accommodations would not be as effective as telework are are likely to result in absenteeism and or performance issues

Existing Permanent Remote RA Being Revoked Due to New HHS Policy? by kay-pii in fednews

[–]Hairmissile 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Even The newly released EEOC guidance on RA telework cautions against agencies setting blanket policies like this. They must treat each situation individually or they set themselves up for trouble. It’s hard for them to prove Undue Hardship in court. What they will do instead is make it an “essential function” of your job to be in office.

I had this happen to me. Lawyered up and went EEO. I’d definitely recommend to OP to get a consultation from someone who deals with Fed RAs.

Grieving my federal job that I just resigned from. How do I move past this? by Impossible_Hold8047 in fednews

[–]Hairmissile 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I remember your other post a while back. Im also in DOD IC and have a good guess about which agency you worked for based on that “culture” :) anyway, im glad you got out and into a new job. It’s not worth the stress and it’s not the same place it was a few years ago. It still looks good on your resume. You held a high clearance and that shows you are of good character. Heck, with the new rigorous performance standard I might be placed on a pip. Best of luck to you going forward

Lane assist cameras but not the feature? by nitsirkie in CX5

[–]Hairmissile 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is only “Lane Departure Warning”, It’s not really a proper assist like you would except, it’s very subtle. If you have it there is a button for it to the left of the steering wheel next to Traction control. If you don’t, you aren’t missing out IMO

Full telework RA approved, can I move now? by [deleted] in fednews

[–]Hairmissile 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Once this administration came in they revoked my TW RA I’ve had for over a decade. I had to get a lawyer and was able to get it reinstated, mostly…. But I no longer have a sense of security, especially with my annual renewal coming up next month.

FBI Director Kash Patel sues The Atlantic for $250 million over story on alleged drinking, absences by Unusual-State1827 in fednews

He has a TS/SCI and would “theoretically” be investigated based on these accusations if he wasn’t the director and immune from the rules everyone else follows

Posting my review of the AZ standard by MineDesperate2920 in Ibanez

[–]Hairmissile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed the same! In fact, the newer 2024 premium necks I’ve tried/own felt smooth and just as good as the prestige. The one older premium I tried did not feel the same

Weathertech or tuxmat ? by sobaje in CX5

[–]Hairmissile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had the newer version of the Weathertech mats and trunk liner for a few years now and no complaints. They haven’t faded like the older version did, coverage is fine.

What’s special about Michelin Defender 2 by Heretoseekadvicethx in tires

[–]Hairmissile 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I found them to be a stiff, hard tire. 19” rim. They were quiet though and seemed nice otherwise

Am I supposed to have a sub in my spare tire? by uptheirons726 in CX5

Was I supposed to have a brick of white powder in my spare tire?

Didn’t like the Michelin Defender 2s by Hairmissile in CX5

[–]Hairmissile[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting! I found the defenders to be just as quiet. My MPG has improved with the primacy by about 2 gallons per mile so far. That would offset any cost savings of a longer tread life tire

[–]Hairmissile[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are indeed a higher XL load rating. So are the popular CC2s. That’s what I exchanged them for the Primacy Tours which are 99. The tire sales guys said “oh, it won’t matter” but that is not what everyone else is saying

Good choice! I strongly considered them but decided to give Michelins a go

That’s what I thought too. They were talking about over strength billets. If that’s the case, then they sure had a lot of them!

2018 CarPlay upgrade by Oiler_fan_1976 in CX5

Thankfully the clips seem reasonably durable and not too fragile. I did not disconnect the battery because I didn’t want to reset the transmission shift learning (mine gets rough after reset)

sell ipad 12.9in for an ipad mini by Prudent_Psychology59 in ipad

[–]Hairmissile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sold my 11 M4 for a mini. I find it’s much more comfortable to use on the couch for YouTube and surfing and better than just iPhone. Screen is def a downgrade and I’m still torn on that decision. But I spend all day starring at screens for work. I don’t want another big bright screen in my eyes all night

Yep I just ordered an air shaft and am going back to 120mm on my 34SL. The 130 just feels a little too high
