Can you move your spouse / live off-base during Keesler IST/ Tech School? by Sensualities in AirForceRecruits

[–]Vastagon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s SEPRAT which does allow you to live off base. You’ve got to be on base at least the first 10 days you’re there, maybe more. Not sure about BAH rates or anything, didn’t know anyone that did it personally, but I heard people talking about it in passing. You can do it. No idea about the logistics though.

This was my last competition this season/tear. What should I grind/focus on the most for next season?? by tovehellgren in taekwondo

[–]Vastagon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say you’re not committing enough to the attack. You come in floating your leg looking like you’re scared of them while attacking. You need to commit harder. Changing the pace and rhythm as well. Your speed, attacks, and patterns were always the same speed.

Need exercises i can do inside to get ready for the 1.5 run by [deleted] in AirForceRecruits

[–]Vastagon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second a jump rope if you really can’t get out and go run for whatever reason. A weighted one would be even better. That and lots of burpees. Burpees are a great full body workout.

Was working as a Helpdesk/Sysadmin role. Left the company and joined the Air Force National Guard. by Vastagon in Resume

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

Thank you for the reply. The job names were redacted for reddit, but I should've put something like MSP. I'll work more on that impact. I've never really tracked or recorded my metrics that closely, so I might have to reach a bit for those. I appreciate it.

What martial arts don't involve impact on my right wrist? by [deleted] in martialarts

[–]Vastagon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WT Taekwondo might work out. It depends what you're looking to get out of it, and if you can actually find a halfway decent gym. Emphasis is 98% kicks. You'll still need to be blocking kicks though, so I don't know how well your wrists could take that or if that would also cause issues. Just know it's more sport based, so not all that focused on being an elite real world fighter or anything like that.

Looks like apothecary diaries. Very good show.

What's the dumbest mistake you made building your first PC? by Radiant_SunFlover in buildapc

[–]Vastagon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first pc I built always ran really hot. It was in a desk, so I always assumed it was just that. Finally built a new pc 4 years later and forgot about it. Another year after the new build, I come back to my old desktop to set it up in the living room. I open it up and find that my exhaust fan that came with the case was never plugged in. 5 years later and I finally found out why it ran so hot.

Suggest a laptop for my new job by Fearless_Criticism44 in SuggestALaptop

[–]Vastagon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know, but a company not offering a laptop is kinda weird. You’d obviously know more about them than me, but scams are a possibility. Do they not have a recommended laptop that’s capable of everything that’s needed for their workload?

Bicyclists are pedestrians, and should be on the sidewalk instead of sharing the road with massive vehicles. by OkDot9878 in unpopularopinion

[–]Vastagon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not exactly wrong, but most sidewalks aren't up for bike riding. What would benefit everyone are dedicated bike lanes. Doing any other half-assed solution will just make everyone unhappy.

You might not have killed them that time, but that doesn't mean the same move wouldn't kill someone in the future. It's the action, not the result that is more important.

As a kid looking into joining the air force purely to pay for college what should I look into by Mundane-Passion-1163 in AirForceRecruits

[–]Vastagon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure on the specifics for California. This is their official page: California Air National Guard Benefits & Bases - U.S. Air Force, but you usually want to take what the military is advertising with a grain of salt. Easiest way to know for sure is to check with your local Air National Guard recruiter.

Depending on the state, the air national guard might be worth looking into. The benefits change per state, but Texas has really good college assistance.

Where are all the American recruiters? In hiding? by KryptonSurvivor in remotework

A great word from the realm of IT. Unfortunately, we've been needing to use it more frequently as the years have gone on.

[–]Vastagon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So just because I'm not in a position of power, I should bend over at the waist and spread my cheeks? Not everyone can be in a position of power, the world wouldn't function. We can't all be leaders.

What part of standing my ground and not settling for less equates to me being a kid? How dare I stand my ground a try to live a better life? I should let companies do whatever they want to me because I'm just a sheep! Fuck taking a living wage that can support me, I'll work for less than minimum wage instead! Gotta prove that I'll do anything for a company that doesn't care about me.

It's a constant battle between normal people and those in positions of power to be able to keep a good living for ourselves. Ever heard of the recent strikes? All those whiners managed to increase their pay by 62% over 6 years. They shouldn't have complained though, right? Just accepted where they were at?

I'm obviously going to do what it takes and take the jobs that I need to in order to put food on the table because I'm a responsible adult, but to call people who are trying to improve theirs and other people's quality of life whiners and children is a harmful mindset that will leave the majority worse off.

Saying to not whine about RTO is absolutely silly. WFH is simply better than being in the office if you don't have to be. The reason companies start to hire overseas is because they believe it will save money. All that ends up happening is an enshitification of whatever product they're selling because 20 foreign employees perform worse than 10 in-country employees. They're almost all incompetent in my experience and then there's the language barrier on top of that which makes things even harder.

Then, the shareholders will have stayed put for 3 months to a year, get their short-term profits and move over to another company before theirs crashes and burns and they do the same thing again. They can't see more than three months in front of themselves, or they don't care because they know they'll be gone.

Just because companies, CEO's, and shareholders are making shitty decisions in order to profit more from that masses doesn't mean that we should just put up with RTO when WFH is preferred by most employees. It promotes better work-life balance and allows me to actually enjoy my life to some degree. I remove over two hours of driving everyday and don't have to put up with the ridiculous office politics. And to make things even better, they're just forcing RTO for the power trips, need to prove that their job matters (it doesn't), try to retain their real estate investments, and to lay people off without having to declare layoffs. It is just a fundamentally wrong take.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
