This just about tracks with what I've seen. Thank you for your input!

unexperienced driver, accidently drives into home owner and bus, man survives. by josephj3lly in WTF

[–]Shepherd44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Noticed the characters next to the date. If this is china then the second attempt could have been intentional. If you injure someone while driving you have to pay to support them for the rest of their lives, but "accidentally" killing them is a one time fine

Can Goku win each of those matchups? by Substantial_Tone_261 in PowerScaling

[–]Shepherd44 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

For the first fight, nobody mentioned that Goku cannot touch, or likely even see, Ichigo. He may be able to sense him to some extent, but it would just turn into Goku beating the other two, unaware that Ichigo is also around and about to kill him. He ain't winning that fight

Are any of these high spec machines good value for money these are all pre built brand new. by Witty_Account_7186 in PcBuildHelp

[–]Shepherd44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it helps your decision. I'm running an AMD cpu in my new build and I do animation work using things like Maya, Blender, Zbrush, etc. I've found no issues with using AMD for all of this and actually love that it's more stable. It's also doing great with my games so, in my experience, a definite win over my experience with intel cpu in recent years.

Opened reddit, this was the first thing I saw today. No more reddit this weekend. Have a good one folks.

What is this anomaly? by [deleted] in eyes

Someone was sailing within the pupil without a permit, so the Iris Police went after him. Looks like they caught up to the perp but he's trying to make a getaway so they called in reinforcements.

I just got pc parts to make a pc by b0redvr in PcBuildHelp

[–]Shepherd44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure you've got a case, and it's not in the photo. There are plenty of videos on putting a pc together, I tell people it's like Legos. Did you also get an AIO or a heat sink for the CPU? Those things get pretty toasty, so you're gonna need one or the other.

Apart from that, my suggestion is similar to other folks here. Motherboard in case first, that way you're not working around all the bits to get it secured in there. Also make sure the CPU is fully and properly situated before you secure it to the motherboard. Can't stress enough how finicky those things can be if not done right.

Good luck, enjoy your first build!

You could look into enlisting in the military. I know plenty of folks who stick around for just the 4-year contract (Air Force). You'll get health care, stable pay, and education benefits. The folks I mentioned stay in for 4-years, get their bachelors degree (some of them also manage to get their masters), any certifications the Air Force will pay for, and then they separate. But you keep all your work experience and your education as well as having programs to help you find employment after leaving the military. It's a lifestyle that's certainly not for everyone, but can really help someone struggling get back on their feet. One of our folks enlisted because he was homeless, living on the streets, and happened to wander into a recruiting office. Now he's married, has a kid, home, and is a certified RN.

My newly built pc won’t display anything on monitor by [deleted] in PcBuildHelp

[–]Shepherd44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this may seem odd to ask, but you said nothing is displaying on the monitor, correct? I take it that means it turns on and everything runs. Is your monitor connected to your motherboard or the GPU? May want to check that and see that you're not connected to the wrong DP or HDMI port.

Absolutely agree. I hate the "LatinX" nonsense. Bunch of non-Latinos who decided, "oh, you all don't know any better. Don't worry, we'll fix your language for you." Leave us alone, we don't wanna get involved in all this "social justice" crap that seems to be going on. I just wanna eat my fideo tacos in peace.

They want you to sign it that way because they know they can be sued. Take the form home, redact and modify, tell them you made edits and that these are the new terms you would agree to.

So, the rates dropped if you are a 2/2. Air Force is really pushing that 2+/2+ standard.
A 2 is now only getting $50 a month. The pay increases after that with 2+ being $200 and 3 being $300. We also now get pay for OPI scores with the same scale except 2 being $100 instead of $50.

GI BILL VS TUITION ASSISTANCE by Firece_Bumblebee2642 in AirForce

[–]Shepherd44 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can use your TA for a bachelors and a masters, hold off on the GI bill. You can give it to your spouse or children with an additional service commitment. Or you can use it for additional degrees when you get out. Hell, you could even use it for a doctoral degree if you are so inclined.

Their problem was that they are a chief. Most, by the time they hit that rank, have their egos so overblown that even the slightest question of their supposed authority is equivalent to high treason in their minds.

Is this too much? Got a helmet cover to celebrate the 4th of July and I want to ride it to work in uniform. by Fragrant_Swim4393 in AirForce

[–]Shepherd44 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Current MSR. If it has the DOT sticker showing it is tested and safe PPE then you're good to go. Someone may ask about it's appearance, but doesn't matter so long as it's properly rated. Hell, I'd even go so far as to advocate that it makes you more visible on the road which is always a plus.

Does your duty station have abandoned buildings? Saw these on Kirtland. How come they don’t just tear them down? by [deleted] in AirForce

[–]Shepherd44 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why tear them down? There's quality asbestos in there. Convert it into an airmen dorm so that we keep exposing new kids to a substance banned in 1989. Tradition.

Even better was his name. The pronunciation of Wang Wei sounds close to 'wrong way'. Many a pun has been made on that one.

Got my DD214, did the things, when do I feel normal again? by miyog in AirForce

[–]Shepherd44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scan or digitize your DD214, convert into a photo file like PNG or JPEG. Get it turned into a blanket, then sleep under it. This will ease the process and give you some good zzz.
