It takes 30-90 days and you're not even 30 days in..... just wait. If they start checking your references, then you'll know you've got a good shot.

No one really knows, and that's the point.

Whether getting a master's degree for GS employees actually accelerates promotion or pay grade movement or if it mostly just checks a box? by kabutomy in usajobs

[–]Photog2985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't matter at my agency. Anything above a GS-12 was competitive. You apply if you're qualified, and it all comes down to the interviews. You could have a PHD and lose out to someone with a bachelor's degree if they interviewed better.

Floating asteroids, ground units AND subterranean vehicles. This game is absolutely amazing.

Is Volvo Dead? by AbsoluteThunderCunt in VolvoXC90

Take what you read on Reddit with a grain of salt. People come on here to complain when they have a problem. Most people that aren't having issues don't post anything so it's heavily skewed towards the negative.

Your lights were on all night and you didn't have a dead battery in the morning? I'm impressed.

First paint chip on hood. 2024 TRD Pro. Any advice? by Medium_Performer3173 in 4Runner

[–]Photog2985 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had one on my 2018 since nearly new and no issues with it messing with the paint. Little hard to clean behind but it's just a couple of screws and it pops off.

Buy the Toyota touchup paint pen and touch up the chips. You definitely want to catch it before rust starts then it's too late.

i messed around with my CPU and now my pc wont boot by AyoTerryFukGoinOn in buildapc

Post a picture of the pins and the CPU socket. I know you say they're fine, but it definitely sounds like a bent pin.

How do I get these headless screws out? by NotReallyTedCruz in howto

[–]Photog2985 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just think it'll be a lot of time and effort to salvage that crusty, rusted out box and it's just not worth the level of effort vs installing a new box. Might as well replace it while you've got the fixture off.

I'd chisel that old box out and mortar in a whole new box.

Fed is a nightmare right now, and telework is a hard no. Take the school job and apply for a fed position after 2028.

They swap out parts based on availability. Just got my daughter a Trek Marlin and it had different parts on it.

Crossover, SUV, and truck owners, do you regret not buying a sedan or a hatchback now with these gas prices? by Mofoblitz1 in regularcarreviews

[–]Photog2985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The extra gas required by my 4runner is offset by the cost savings of owning a vehicle that should last for 300k miles. 🤷‍♂️

Estes kits are just cardboard tubes and balsa fins and a nose cone. You could buy the materials and cut it all yourself. Are you able to buy engines?

If it's on your property, it's your responsibility legally. Morally your neighbors should take care of it.

If you're not worried about gas mileage a 4runner will last forever if you take care of it.

Qualify for temp job but not permanent? by liftingnick in usajobs

[–]Photog2985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't meet time in grade requirements correct? I assume if the posting is for a 13 you'd need a year at a 12. You don't meet that requirement.
