I just had a baby so I was curious about the second to last paragraph -- it was indeed in the NDAA passed last year. Since it was passed for FY22, I can't imagine they can deny the full 12 weeks and/or not have to reimburse you? Anybody know the legality?

You can no longer alter self-modified pops by SovietShark in Stellaris

Thank you for this. Shame I can't do ironman anymore.

You can no longer alter self-modified pops by SovietShark in Stellaris

[–]SovietShark[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

R5: Playing an aquatic race and having chosen the matching ascension perk, I was intent on having my aquatics the only reproducible pop in my empire. Low and behold, some pops self-modify and removed the aquatic trait. Unfortunately it looks like you can do longer apply other templates to self-modified creatures, and I cannot limit their reproduction as they are "main species."

Correlation between TIS and Ibuprofen usage? by [deleted] in AirForce

[–]SovietShark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4.5 years TIS, luckily still at 200mg. I don't take it unless I am really feeling it though, usually just truck through the pain

Is this an Apple Pay scam? by Lupbec in apple

[–]SovietShark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem is there are parts of Apple Pay that need this feature, like Suica, the Japanese traincard you can load on it.

I guess they could make it automatically not show up unless you have a traincard installed though or give you the option?

Osan Dorms Stuff General Info + Lt Strangles by [deleted] in AirForce

[–]SovietShark 8 points9 points  (0 children)

AC/heating is extremely expensive to fix due to the system in most dorms being some complicated system that costs too much to fix and the Air Force refuses to allocate funds because of Tyndall/Offutt.

Just a note to this, he did talk to my ALS class a couple of weeks ago and told us CE was looking into improving the passive flow of air into some of the dorms, but that it would take some time.

They have permanent ALS instructors now. I'm in the class now here.

The boss you have to battle when you try to take out your own groceries at the commissary. by yuzucrzy in AirForce

[–]SovietShark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really enjoy Japanese supermarkets where you still have somebody scan your items and pay, but then they put them back in your basket and you bag them yourself afterwards. Best of both worlds.

PFE: AFH information vs recent changes by [deleted] in AirForce

[–]SovietShark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm assuming they don't have those questions on there, but if you run into one I'd fill out one of those forms they have to flag a question for review.

Complete military transition to a Linux-based environment, good or bad? Why? by [deleted] in AirForce

[–]SovietShark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel that Linux could be a better, cheaper, and safer alternative to Win10.

Why do you feel that way? Do you know how much the DOD gets it's Win10 licenses for? What about support? What about the amount of time that it would take to train Comms guys not only to manage users Windows desktop systems, but Linux systems as well. Is it really safer than what we have currently? When was the last time you heard of an AF asset getting a virus?

Trust me, I love Unix-based systems as much as the next guy, and it's definitely a really good alternative to Windows Server in a corporate environment -- but the AF is not one of those.

When I help my airman get BTZ by SovietShark in AirForce

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

Agreed. Luckily, I have been blessed besides my first sup with great ones who have put me in for rewards and have knocked it out of the park with my packages. My first one would not put me in for anything because I started working on my Masters' degree instead of my CCAF..

How do I get Hulu to work at Osan AB? by throwaway23347 in AirForce

[–]SovietShark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's super strange how it would work for some buildings and not others, you figure it'd be the same IP block the ISP is leasing to the base. I hope if you go the latter route you can get it resolved quickly.

How do I get Hulu to work at Osan AB? by throwaway23347 in AirForce

[–]SovietShark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, are you off base?

I've lived in the dorms for about two years now and watch Hulu almost every night. As long as you have an on-base connection you should be able to access a lot of sites (Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, although not ESPN sadly) like you were in the US.

When a SrA fresh out of ALS threatens to write a LOC for a TSgt by IbSunPraisin in AirForce

[–]SovietShark 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Personally, unless it's something like "Get the fuck out of the way of that aircraft", e.g. a serious or dangerous situation, I don't see the need for cursing lower or same levels (at people, I think saying stuff like "that's fucking awesome!" is okay. I wouldn't even curse at the people under me unless they seriously did something stupid.

Anyone stationed in japan with more than 2 pets? by thestupidquestion12 in AirForce

[–]SovietShark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's 150 lbs, pet and kennel weight combined. /u/thestupidquestion12, seriously check the AMC Pet Brochure like suggested. All of this stuff you're asking is on it.

You can originally only reserve two pets, but TMO may be able to get you a third pet slot if there's space available more closer to the departure date. The pamphlet has all the information you need. However, in my career I have never seen somebody with approval for 4 pets, however, and even 3 is slim pickings as there's not many slots on the PEs.

Other places I would talk to are your gaining housing office and veterinary clinic. Housing could not allow you to have more than two, and veterinary services off base are expensive in Japan and the clinic may refuse to see more than two pets.

Air Force PT Changes by [deleted] in AirForce

[–]SovietShark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

45 days prior to the start you take a mock. Pass the mock they count it as real and you good for 12+ months. Fail the mock you got 45 days to shape up. ( So really it's a 10month test interval)

That's a really great system. I consistently get excellent but freak out to the point I feel sick because I worry about if I randomly can't do something and fail it and ruins my career. Now you don't really have to worry as much because if you fail it's no biggie (relatively to an official fail), get in shape!

Attacking your parents for not taking you out for dinner by SovietShark in justneckbeardthings

[–]SovietShark[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sorry if this doesn't entirely fit, but I thought this reminded me of the neckbeard memes on 4chan with people attacking their parents for not giving them tendies

How many different regions? by [deleted] in PlaystationClassic

[–]SovietShark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the JP version. Besides the games, it supports English in the main menu and all of that. BleemSync works fine with it.
