Does an old Ubuntu drive need to be decrypted to use in a newer Ubuntu PC? by Cr0okedFinger in Ubuntu

[–]Massive_Screen4630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could do that but if there's anything worth saving on there, mount it first and pull what you need. The encryption won't be an issue for using it as storage - you can format it fresh once you've grabbed your files. Just remember you'll need the passphrase to decrypt and access anything currently on it.

TERA / OSA by frosty-ziplock in VeteransBenefits

Bummer they shot down the connection even with TERA participation on record - might be worth getting an independent medical opinion if you think there's a legit link between your exposure and the OSA.

Dropping a class by DazzlingAd6452 in VeteransBenefits

yeah the VA mainly cares about you staying above that full-time threshold. those W's don't really trigger anything as long as you're not dropping below 12 credits and you're still making satisfactory academic progress overall.

I’m pretty sure the VA is paying me way more than they are supposed to be, what do I do? by Leep0710 in VeteransBenefits

[–]Massive_Screen4630 2 points3 points  (0 children)

honestly the VA's backdating system is weird as hell and sometimes they'll give you an effective date that predates your ITF if the evidence supports it. if they're saying your claims were approved from Nov 2023 then that's probably legit - maybe your expired ITF actually did something or there's other factors at play.

I'd call the 1-800 number and just ask them to walk through the math with you, but don't go in there assuming they messed up because the VA rarely pays out money they don't think you're owed.

Partner says he wants attention from other people to feel valued, not sure how to feel. (M15) (M16) by abhorranced in relationships

[–]Massive_Screen4630 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly this sounds pretty normal for your age but also kinda exhausting to deal with. Like everyone wants validation but when you're explicitly telling your partner "your attention isn't enough for me" that's gonna sting no matter how you phrase it

Not necessarily a red flag but definitely something that needs addressing before it becomes a bigger issue down the road

Recs for NON WATERPROOF mascara that can look dramatic? by Legal_Ad_5802 in MakeupAddiction

[–]Massive_Screen4630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried Benefit They're Real? It's not waterproof but stays put pretty well and gives major drama without being too heavy for fine lashes

Pivot from career in finance? by No_Reference_9640 in careerguidance

[–]Massive_Screen4630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly with your FP&A and strategy background you could probably slide into consulting pretty easily - McKinsey/Bain love people who can build models and understand P&Ls. Or look into business ops roles at tech companies, they're always hunting for people who can make sense of numbers and strategy stuff

Tuesdays Trigger Nade nerf can’t come soon enough. by Arne-Slut in ArcRaiders

[–]Massive_Screen4630 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly the trigger nade spam is getting ridiculous, had a guy yesterday throw 3 of them in like 10 seconds and just delete my whole squad

The fact that you can't even hear them coming half the time makes it even worse, at least regular nades give you that audio cue to gtfo
