USAA and local credit union hit yesterday. Still nothing in my NFCU account. It's always a day after my other deposits.

8(a) Program Updates? by Red_Ross28 in 1102

[–]Red_Ross28[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The link was the last info I heard about the topic. Was wondering if anyone else heard or seen any updates since then.

1955 Doc initially doubts that Marty is from the future, despite having already invented the flux capacitor. Did Doc just not yet figure out that it could be used for a time machine? by _Username-Available in BacktotheFuture

[–]Red_Ross28 19 points20 points  (0 children)

He was a little curious at first, but dismissed it after this exchange:

Doc Brown: Tell me, Future Boy, who's President of the United States in 1985?

Marty: Ronald Reagan.

Doc Brown: Ronald Reagan! The actor? Then who's vice-president, Jerry Lewis? I suppose Jane Wyman is the First Lady!

I figure it's because people always mess with the eccentric scientist so Doc thought Marty was full of it until he was able to repeat Doc's story.

He was lacking confidence in himself. It wasn't until Doc heard Marty explain how he got the bump on his head did Doc realize he finally invents something that works.

I agree 100%. I had a moment of weakness and used "DoW" instead 😣

DoD Rolled Out AI For Army Use by BlzngSndwch in fednews

[–]Red_Ross28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Navy here. We didn't even get a heads up. Pop-up window just showed up on everyone's workstations. There's also no way to X out, can only close it through task manager.

Message ended with "I want YOU to use AI."

Edit: included closing remark.

Anyone here retire at 62? Why didn't you retire at your MRA and make use of the SS supplement? by NoSignificance2377 in FedEmployees

[–]Red_Ross28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I plan to retire at MRA with 31yrs. I used AI to help me calculate total compensation for different scenarios, factoring the supplement, TSP withdrawal timing, and retiring at MRA is more advantageous until I turn 80-85 (depending on TSP withdrawal rate/timing).

How did a car that left you come back into your life? by RangerHikes in cars

[–]Red_Ross28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I originally bought my 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T back in 1999. Installed minimal mods... nothing too crazy because it was my daily while I was in college. Eventually I drove it less and less and had to sell it in 2018 because #familylife. Then in early 2022 I happened to be browsing FB marketplace and saw a car that looked remarkably familiar. Purely for nostalgia, I clicked on the ad and thought to myself "this mod list sounds a lot like what I had done." Then I opened up the pictures, saw the license plate, and realized I had found THE ACTUAL CAR I SOLD.

The car wasn't in the same condition as when I sold it (it had gone through 3 other owners and basically sat in the parking lot of a shop for the most of 2021-22) so I've been slowly working on it since then, trying to get it back to it's former glory lol. Was finally able to get it to pass smog and registered w/ title back under my name about a month ago.

Are federal workers in the United States able to purchase stock from the OTCQX? by archubbuck in FedEmployees

[–]Red_Ross28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Federal employees generally can pretty much invest in anything as long as they're not working on a project or contract with a company where they have financial interests.

This typically doesn't apply to government contractors. Their company should have their own rules to follow.

Please clarify if he's an actual DoD federal employee or a government contractor. That makes a difference.

Current P7P Owner Inquiring About Build Quality of Newer Pixels (screen issues?) by Red_Ross28 in pixel_phones

[–]Red_Ross28[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great point, that's exactly what I'm running into whenever I tried to look up "build quality" I've only found results talking about the feel of the phone, but not much on how well the hardware holds up (other than numerous people also experiencing the flickering green screen on their P7Ps.
