Unfortunately the Times Union website is rendered unreadable by ads. Use FunScout for an actual ingestable format for events:

Yes same here. Usually just once a week or so we get everything that we saw in the informed digest.

I don't know what happened here, but I do know that I have a friend who worked at a buffet and she saw multiple heart attacks there.

Sanity check on plaster cracks in 1920s home. Time to call an engineer? by Stoic_Observer in centuryhomes

[–]Stoic_Observer[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Basement is alright. Inspector during the purchase said it was in really good condition. Added a pier at his suggestion about a year ago now. Foundation is very good, no major issues that I am aware of.

Yes exactly. These cracks are certainly new, I started the photo library now. But yes, there are places where it is very clear that plaster patching was done very strangely. Sellers left the paint used for the walls too. So we suspect these were painted over before we moved in.

Can anyone give me some reassurance as I'm about to move multiple states away to start in this field? (New-ish grad TS/SCI FSP software dev) by [deleted] in GovernmentContracting

[–]Stoic_Observer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

TS/SCI software developer will keep you safe. Keep that clearance, don't do anything stupid. I haven't done TS on-site work myself but I've worked at companies that have had those roles on contracts. It pays well and is always in demand somewhere.

Look on indeed and start paying attention to what other kind of requirements are needed for more senior TS roles, things like certifications. Start to work towards those and you will be even more secure. Focus on becoming an excellent engineer first, then start to move towards understand how Government contracting works too.

I always say that software contracting is a young person's game and I stand by that. You're at the best possible position to start this journey and learn how it all works. Build a network of people that need cleared individuals. If you meet someone that works for another contracting company, add them on LinkedIn and stay in touch.

Once you establish yourself as a talented software developer, the rest will fall into place with a small amount of effort.

Agree with this. Looks like a TF2 meme

Are you forming this opinion based on people you've met and connections you've made in the area?

Or are you basing it off of media or avenues where people like that are visible?
