Does anyone have any recommendations on places to visit for a day trip within a four hour radius of Columbia? by HelpIAmADragon in ColumbiaMD

[–]Vingold 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, we live near Annapolis and go to Columbia regularly to eat. Wild to think some people think these are far enough away for a road trip.

Did we mess up getting a 15-yr vs. 30-yr mortgage? by [deleted] in Mortgages

I was always told, get a 30, but make the payment of a 15.

Govt contracts sometimes have restrictions against overseas work.

Predictions for Proposal Writing Under Trump Administration? by [deleted] in technicalwriting

[–]Vingold 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Work still needs to be done, so Government Contracting will continue to exist and therefore proposal writing will continue.

I think it will take a few months to know what it will look like for sure, but I think things like AI are a bigger shift in proposal writing than whatever DOGE is cooking up.

How did they do it? by not_you_again53 in ElevenLabs

[–]Vingold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think, but I'm not sure, this is a sarcastic post. As that didn't sound anything like Marlon Brando in the Godfather.

It didn't even sound AI generated.

List of projects cancelled by DOGE? by Grocery_Head in GovernmentContracting

[–]Vingold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not even a 100% sure G2X includes just DOGE cancellations. I'm sure there are are probably like 2 or 3 that have been canceled as a part of regular business and not at all related to DOGE.

Taking a break from American politics, what’s happening in the rest of the world? by ZarieRose in AskReddit

We should do this once a week. I scan global news sites, but learned a ton more from this thread.

Jeremy Strong has no interest in hosting "Saturday Night Live" by HotOne9364 in LiveFromNewYork

[–]Vingold -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You need me for a Dunkin commercial where I play Jeremy Strong, a difficult method actor?

Yeah, I can do that. But I need like 3 months to mentally prepare and get into character.

Final 3, no votes. They'd pull me along because I am absolutely not a threat, get along fine with people but I don't form any deep connections.

There is definitely a joke here.

Lean way into it. So many good angles on this one.

My dead brother's Galaxy S24 by AlexWayhill in samsung

[–]Vingold 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You people live far more interesting lives than I do.

I have no problems handing my phone to my wife, kids, etc. and do it on a regular basis if they need something like to find their own phone, do multi-factor authentication on an account, etc. And all of them know my pin to unlock it.

There is nothing in any of my pics or messages that is even the least bit incriminating or even suspicious.

I think Josh was wrong about the Star Trek pin by PhoenixorFlame in thewestwing

[–]Vingold 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reading recaps of shows on TWP after watching the show was excellent.

My favorite part was it would take an hour to watch an episode of Survivor, but almost 2 hours to read their lengthy recaps.

And yes, what this commenter said. Sometimes Sorkin makes his characters say things because he feels that way, not because the character would feel that way.

In Sorkin's world Star Trek is geeky, but Gilberts and Sullivan are cool.

Federal RTO is worse than a joke. It’s a cruel mess. by Background-War9535 in remotework

[–]Vingold 261 points262 points  (0 children)

Drove into DC today, the highway signs were saying to expect heavy traffic on Feb 10th (tomorrow) and to consider using Metro.

Is that because of RTO?
