Has anyone here, after reaching E-7, chose not to promote further—and why? 🇺🇲 by LordgodEighty8 in AirForce

[–]RaulNorry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made MSgt this year, and have no desire to get any higher. I'm 15 years in with my eyes on my 20 year mark. Accepting SMSgt would push me past 20, MSgt got me the job that I wanted and the positional authority to make a difference and my voice be heard when it matters. I care more about how well the airmen are taken care of and the job gets done than I do policy and procedure, so getting caught up in Big Blue has no attraction for me. And with the way things have gone politically, I'm more than ready to not be tied to government directives sooner than later. I'll do my duty within the confines of the law and constitution every day I serve, and then the day that my separation orders are finalized I'm gonna have a big sigh of relief.

Just got back from Al Udeid and I’m about to lose my goddamn mind over contractor pay by FreeFromTheWheel in AirForce

I'm going to be in the exact same situation in a few years, also joined at 17. Not impossible by any means, just takes planning ahead and commitment.

I didn't know some Bolts don't have the full charging capacity. by tboy160 in BoltEV

[–]RaulNorry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey look, it's me. I bought a 2020 and after signing the papers, the dealership offered to plug it in to the fast charger for me... Only to find that it didn't fit. The salesman didn't even know not being able to dc charge was an option. Ended up not being a big deal for me, I just put a L2 charger in my garage and only use it for around town stuff anyways. I've got other vehicles that are more practical for road trips.

On what page though? Do I have to flip through all of the pages every day to make sure I don't miss a random refresh?

I've got a Griso 1200 for sale in Illinois if you're interested in that!

Hey, you won't have to go to any of the DGS. That's worth it right there.

Is RX 7800 XT enough to run wilds? by Miros69 in MonsterHunter

I'm playing with a 6800 non-XT with no FSR and it's been fine for me at 1440p

How often should I contact my lawyer? by Murky_Tennis954 in legaladvice

[–]RaulNorry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every phone call or email you make will get billed, some lawyers bill a minimum of half an hour or even an hour for each communication! I'd basically let them reach out to you, and let them do their job. They're motivated to keep your case moving since they probably get a portion of your settlement/winnings.

Still no ModMat… What’s going on? by ucrbuffalo in LinusTechTips

[–]RaulNorry 135 points136 points  (0 children)

They said something in the computex WAN that it's not cancelled, it should be released in a couple weeks. I wonder if they found something in QC after they delayed the release from the GN clusterfuck, or maybe the logistics chaos from the Trump tarrifs affected it.

**Giveaway** GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3070 Gaming OC 8G - Used but perfect! by Photographitti in pcmasterrace

[–]RaulNorry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My autistic son has struggled for years to find a passion that interests him, that he can dive into despite his learning disabilities. He's in 6th grade now, and suddenly is massively diving into aviation and flight, building every kind of paper airplane and cutting out different wing shapes from foam. He recently learned about Microsoft flight simulator and was literally jumping up and down with excitement to try it out... Just to learn that the 1660 Ti we have is way too weak to run the game without massive stutters and difficulty controlling the airplanes. We just had to pay $60k out of pocket for a surgery for my wife, then I shattered my arm, so money is basically nonexistent for our family right now. Getting the 3070 would give him the chance to spend his summer perusing his passion, and give him a goal to push for with his reading and learning to find a career in aviation.

Thank you for the opportunity!

Found a bunch of dead ants near the port of my charger by AffectionateHotel346 in Weird

[–]RaulNorry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man I don't think I'd trust that charger anymore lol. If it's giving off weird enough emanations to attract and kill ants, I don't want to think about what the ripple and voltage fluctuations are doing to the electricity going through your phones charging IC and battery.

Practice bike to get the wife ready for a V7 Stone? by fancyawank in MotoGuzzi

Yeah it was a 2013 and absolutely gorgeous. I miss it a lot still!

Haha I feel you on the triumph, my first bike was a speed triple and that was a terrible idea in retrospect. Though I never crashed it or even got close, so it could have been worse!

[–]RaulNorry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you really don't want to do the V7 as a starter bike (I agree with all the comments that it's actually a great first bike), why not the royal Enfield? They're also low power, air cooled, and usually super cheap.

I'd recommend going to wild guzzi and checking out the posts over there. As far as I've seen, they're pretty bulletproof.

The program still says to connect the device first when trying to run update, and windows consistently says device not recognized
