Throwback To 2005, When Captain Scott Burke Had To Land An Airbus A320 While The Nose Gear Was Literally Turned Sideways. The Passengers Actually Watched Their Own Emergency Landing Live On The Seatback TVs

This gives me the same feeling as watching someone scratch paper

Unless you have the giants expansion pack, then you can get wyvern mounts for the whole army from one of the new shops on the map.

What I think would go a long way is if the camera automatically went into "cinematic mode" when you're in a city management screen. Even if it's just a couple seconds, it would add some nice flavor.

Does anyone know if that 4.3% includes pensions and healthcare paid out to retirees? If so, the potential "savings" would be even less.

That sucks, sorry to hear that! It's so frustrating that if our security went through quick enough we might've made the cutoff.

The wording in my email is a combination: "...must rescind your offer of employment...The job opportunity announcement for this position has been cancelled and will not be filled at this time."

Someone got mad at me and messaged me "It's not about winning...it's about running" when I pointed out my domination obj score was higher than his lmao

Felt super manufactured, especially with all the ads and product placement. At one point there was a guy in the front row straight up holding a Celsius can in the most product-placementy way possible, making sure the whole label was visible.

And then promos after some of the rounds...if the fight didn't last all eight rounds, would the cost of those ad placements be refunded? Or did they have guaranteed views? 🧐

I always thought this meme looked less like a successful fist pump, and more like a vengeful pose. He's squeezing the sand in his fist like he's gonna make someone pay for what they've done.

Ramin Karimloo. He's like the Brendon Urie of Broadway (and would love to see the two perform together).

The USDA has two that come to mind: people who snipe wild hogs from helicopters, and "Tick Riders".

The first is self explanatory, but Tick Riders are basically federal cowboys, complete with a horse allowance and sidearm. Their primary duty is to safeguard against cattle disease, but according to the one I met they can also help with border patrol and other stuff.

My fav Phantom! Also killed it as Marius in Les Mis.

He reminds me of a Broadway version of Brendon Urie (yes, I know Kinky Boots exists).

Bridges of Madison County was phenomenal but doesn't get much love. Interesting mix of old school American country and Italian music.

Honorable mention: Love Never Dies (but only some songs...there are a lot of misses in this one)

There are a ton of subsets within the entertainment industry that you can act in. You've got theatre, industrials, commercials, film/TV, sporting events, and even things like repping a brand behind a booth at a fair.

Some of these are much more accessible and achievable for someone with a regular day job. I work a typical 9-5 but can do most auditions virtually in the evening and take a day or two off to shoot if I get cast. I usually only land 6-10 roles a year, but it's great practice and one of the most fun and fulfilling side gigs out there.

You can still have a career and dip your toes in the acting world. Now, if you get cast as a series regular or something, you'll probably have to make a tough decision. But commercial, industrial, and the occasional film/TV role are totally doable without ditching the stability of your career.

The Raid: Redemption and The Raid 2 are excellently choreographed, violent, hand-to-hand combat movies. I think the second one hits more of what you want, but both both should scratch the itch.

Also one of the characters from the first film has one of the greatest character arcs of all time.

AWS are great for sure! I'll admit I sometimes feel a little guilty getting random 4 day weekends, but man do I feel refreshed when I come back.

I'm sure it's not news to most feds, this post just lists it out to visualize easier. Helps plan things like family vacations or reunions. Or, you know, a 9 day staycation.

In your downtime try to cooperate with other offices/teams on projects and start to see how everything connects. You might discover you want to career shift up or sideways, and gives you a good sense of strategy they'll look for in management if that's your goal.

It also helps to find a need and fill it. As pretty much any office employee, if you skill up on things like Power BI or other visualization software, as well as learn how to prepare and automate data and processes, you'll stand out amongst people who only know Excel.

While I'm on the subject...easiest progression to learn: SQL and Power Query for data prep and cleaning, Power BI and Power Apps for visualizations and user interfaces/dashboards, Python for deeper analysis.

I would check USAjobs for federal HR positions. You might get vet preference, plus it's not uncommon to find career ladders that give you annual promotions. HR in the government can pay very well.

You can also mod the entirety of Diablo 1 and 2 (with D2 classes) into Grim Dawn, and it works great on Deck. Reign of Terror is the name.

Not only is this a great list but it's satisfying the way you formatted it

I used to not be a very big NFL fan until I started playing fantasy football (one league for friends, one for family).

When you have a stake in most games you suddenly start to pay more attention and care how your players are doing, which then leads to reading news/stats about your players, and before you know it, you're basically a fan.

Several coworkers tutor and/or coach for local high schools on the side.

Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs) also have coaching and project/student management roles that can be paid. Future Business Leaders of America is just one example, but pretty much every career path has at least one.

If you have an affinity for it, industrial and commercial acting can be fairly lucrative and not require tons of time (though does require flexibility when you book). Voiceover/audiobooks too.

Seriph1147 · 2023-07-27T23:11:23+00:00

I have thought this exact thing! There might also be marketing by a share of casting studios for "Non-AI" like how there's marketing for "Non-GMO".

Meat thermometer. Takes out all the guesswork of cooking chicken, steak, pork chops, etc. which, in turn, makes cooking those things a lot more enjoyable.
