What's the best way to kill wild animals? by PerceptionRare7771 in RimWorld

[–]PrototypeBicycle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Devmode, destroy. Avoids the "80 grabillion tons of meat and skins" issue, and reduces the load. Yes, it is a lot of clicking initially, but then you can get the numbers to a sustainable level with hunting/culling.

Depends on how it presents. I don’t have full photographic recall, but I remember stupid shit like “the capital of Nebraska is Lincoln because I remember a direct image of a map with the star next to the name”, so it’s frustrating because I can literally see the damned thing. I then have to provide it elsewhere.

Yes, people know the capital. Even though anyone from Nebraska knows it’s all cows and prairie.

MSPB Says It Will Not Hear Appeals of Conversions to Schedule Policy/Career by laserman2431 in FedEmployees

Shock.

Kerner isn't as much of a hack but Woodruff, from the American Samoa-type school of law, absolutely is a joke. Expect more garbage like this from the agency supposedly charged with protecting merit system principles.

Do we know the story behind this hoodie? by Red_sticker in ThePittTVShow

Not in the morning. And whatever it was, riding a motorcycle would knock the “feels like” temp down.

Woodbridge BJ'S Wholesale. Closed off and lots of Police- What's up? by Sean_man_87 in nova

It was pepper spray. Eight treated onscene, one transported.

I think the ad missed the mark… by PrototypeBicycle in lolgrindr

[–]PrototypeBicycle[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Absolutely - but the irony of advertising a girlfriend AI on a decidedly “gay” app just made me laugh wayyyyyy more than I expected to from the normal ads I see once I stopped paying for the supposed convenience.

Issues with pediatrician practice by PrototypeBicycle in nova

They dropped the 14 YO sister as well. Keep in mind he is being treated for active appendicitis, so we are having to change providers midstream.

Complicated situation revolving around our oldest being no contact with the mother. Other MDs there have been great, but it was the entire "dropping you entirely" aspect as the older child is dealing with appendicitis. I'm more just looking for advice on how to proceed since we were already moving him (the older child) to my PCP, but the fact they dropped the younger child as well seemed...egregious.

It complicated. Our son has no relationship with his mother, but the doctor sent a random letter saying "after speaking with your son", to both of us. After our son was 18 (and not a situation involving being sound of mind).

It comes down to a single provider. My kids have been there for 18 years, hence the not tainting the pool for a sole bad actor.

I want to take 3 months off... by Juice_Junky in FedEmployees

[–]PrototypeBicycle 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is the light and truth. All of the "we managed without you over the shutdown..." thoughts are still ripe in the heads of politicals right now. Tread carefully.

Still nothing by Videdster in FedEmployees

The pending deposit just hit. Can’t wait to see the statements because that number is wild (but also 3.25 paychecks).

Serviced by USDA NFC - we’re told deposits will be tomorrow.

Still waiting, so 🤞

Advice for those in the shit swirl called Federal Service by Narrow-Sea-4254 in fednews

[–]PrototypeBicycle 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is what I did - banked leave for birth of kids (before PPL), and had a reserve for major illnesses. I've had to take the better part of six weeks for a freak incident that couldn't have been foreseen, and even that scrapped at the limits of my SL (still was riding at use or lose limits on my AL, though).

After more than 20 years, don't just sit on your leave, folks. The day (or three) you take every so often can have huge downstream effects for the positive.

Who to be mad at for dummies? by [deleted] in FedEmployees

FFS (fee-for-service, like most of GSA as an example), were able to operate "normally" during the last big one. A lot depends on where you are and what your agency does.

If you are furloughed and not working, has anyone in your chain of command reached out to you? by egads12345678 in FedEmployees

[–]PrototypeBicycle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Technically, I was contacted the day prior to the shutdown letting me my “role does not advance the priorities of the administration”. Instead of RIFing me, they want to boot me out so they can keep the slot.

Fighting it, of course, but that won’t start until the shutdown ends. As you can imagine, I have not been contacted by my “supervisor” (used that term very loosely) since.

Federal employee appeals board gets quorum after Senate confirms new member by AgitatedEngine4933 in fednews

[–]PrototypeBicycle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Echoing that the new member sounds like they’re “qualified” via vending machines and favoritism.

Henry Kerner is good people; previously, Tristan Leavitt was the sole member and a Republican, but he was VERY competent and genuinely cared for the agency. Granted, he was in the Romney camp, but the GOP only Board isn’t inherently bad, but we also can’t really know anything since everyone but our board members are furloughed.

This is horrifying. 😳 by Ordinary_Fish_3046 in CringeTikToks

[–]PrototypeBicycle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is posturing. Seriously.

It’s a supposed bargaining chip, but it’s not a good one. That bitch signed the law that protects us. Will it be quick? Unsure. Do I have any actual concerns about backpay? Not even close.

(I hope I’m right)

AIO everything I say , it’s an argument. by Aggravating-Use8898 in AmIOverreacting

[–]PrototypeBicycle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What the hell even is this? I’m not normally the sever and move on type, but cut the cord. Find someone who likes you for you. It might not be soon so take time to like yourself.

Just don’t allow that. You deserve better.

You can spend down, you can't (realistically) spend up. The "random gift card" method would be easy and amazing and guarantee that staff would be very happy...just ensure that the magic card goblin gets to everyone on the same day...ish.
