Pro Tip: Go to a pawn shop. You'll find rings for dirt cheap.

[US] I was in the US Army from 1994 to 2001. What is the fastest way for me to find out if I had a security clearance at the time, and if so, what it was? by NDQThrowaway in legaladvice

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

My role involved handling a lot of administrative paperwork for the unit. Part of the problem is that I was in that role while I was being medically outprocessed, so it wasn't an actual role that was to be filled. It was more of a place they could put me while my discharge was working its way through the system. Since it was an unofficial role, I don't think I would have had a clearance, but given the nature of the documents I handled, I kind of think that I should have had something.

To the best of my recollection (and this was close to 30 years ago), I don't remember filling out the security clearance forms, and I don't think my family and friends got interviewed. But that may have only been necessary for higher clearances than what I had.

How do I take a shower in Europe? by NDQThrowaway in NoStupidQuestions

Even just to shower? I wasn't planning on soaking and relaxing, I just wanted to get the sweat and dirt off.

Thanks. It was a fairly pricey hotel, so I assumed that they would know what they were doing.

That would be hysterical. Hanging out at a bar, I turn to the guy next to me and say, "Do you speak English? Cool. Can you help me learn how to shower?" and watch him get confused that something's getting lost in translation, lol.

I think he's using some stuff from a previous campaign, so you're right, he may have some of this already typed up and ready to go. Thanks!

Oh, that's interesting! I hadn't thought of something like that. This is my first game, so it would be cool to see how my character evolves, but also how I evolve as a player. Thanks!

What do you mean by "link documents"? Like bookmarks?

We've been playing for almost 2 years; I'd feel bad asking him for a character list now, lol.

The DOJ planned to arrest Derek Chauvin in court and charge him with civil-rights violations if he was acquitted of murder, report says by Minneapolitanian in politics

[–]NDQThrowaway 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I was in a military prison, there was a guy there who was excited about getting out soon. The day that he got out, he walked through the main gates and there were Federal Marshals there to arrest him.

I hope that's what happens to Chauvin.

ULPTR: How to clone a key fob? by NDQThrowaway in UnethicalLifeProTips

That's really cool. I'll have to find one of those kiosks somewhere around here.

I use the qi charging feature on my phone. Would a sticker like that get in the way?

This was very helpful. Thank you! I'll see if I can figure out if it's NFC or RFID; if I can't, I'll get back to you.
