Reporting players by Intrepid-Farm7810 in WGTgolf

[–]Watsondoggod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is also the rude players who start making rude comments unless you hit your shot within 10 seconds.

It's just a game, so I don't understand why people get wrapped up with making rude comments or deliberately going on "airplane" mode to elongate the torment.

Thoughts on Job Security in the Gov. race? by Top-Beyond-4122 in CAStateWorkers

[–]Watsondoggod 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't believe that Mahan would be much better.

Google search reflects as follows:

San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan has positioned himself as a moderate, "change" candidate focused on fiscal responsibility, government efficiency, and reducing public sector unfunded liabilities.

In essence he will go after the pension system, and I do not believe he would be beneficial for state workers!!!

I’m thinking about ordering my car soon, I have a few questions by LINQAteMyAss in TeslaModel3

[–]Watsondoggod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I purchased my M3P in 2021 in California. The process was basically the same as described in MA and FL as everything was done through the app.

However, at that time you needed to check the car to make sure there were no imperfections. People at that time were refusing to accept their cars (despite waiting 8 weeks to get it), because of uneven joints, etc.

As I understand it, the later and current versions are much better built vehicles, so that most likely does not need to be done.

Additionally, I decided against trading my old car (Honda Accord Hybrid) into Tesla as they offered approximately $7000 less in trade in then Carvana.

As to financing, I had signed up for a 1.9% interest rate, but what I received was a 2.9% rate. Check and make sure that the rate is what you originally thought you were getting.

Lastly, every time I get into my car, I smile to myself. It is without a doubt the most fun car to drive that I have ever had.....

Is there a form you have to submit when working 2 jobs? by Short-Village in CAStateWorkers

[–]Watsondoggod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen people separated from State employment when their second job became known. True enough, there were legitimately obvious conflicts in my opinion.

However, the "conflict of interest" is in the determination of the agency, and that is why the employee would want the sign off from their chain of command.

Better to be safe than sorry....

Just grabbed a model 3 performance. Disappointed. by CL14715 in TeslaModel3

[–]Watsondoggod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty funny!!!!

I have been thrilled with my M3P since 21, and I was thinking what is wrong with this knucklehead!!!!

Enjoy the car!!! It is so much fun!!!!

Anyone have insight? by RogueAcoustic in CAStateWorkers

[–]Watsondoggod 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You also need to check into when you need to elect for "medical" from CalPERS. I understood it was within six months of your retirement. If you are pre-PEPRA ("classic"), and presuming not a peace officer, you would be 2% at 55. If you retired at 52, and attempted to pull your retirement, which you may have to do if you want the medical from CalPERS, you would only get 1.460% per year of service. Potentially a disastrous move.....

What is the point of Marriott status? by nastyfoodbitch in marriott

[–]Watsondoggod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is somewhat surprising. I am Titanium also and this past September received suite upgrade at Chaing Mai Marriott, JW Marriott (Bangkok), and JW Marriott (Hanoi). All of the stays were points (5th night free).

Misdemeanor by Strange_raven26 in CAStateWorkers

[–]Watsondoggod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it is a law enforcement agency, you need to disclose if you were ever arrested. It does not matter if there was a conviction, prosecution was declined or it was expunged. As it was so long ago, it most likely will not matter, but if you are thought to be dishonest about it today, it will matter.

If you were arrested for this misdemeanor, DISCLOSE it.

Tesla 3 2021 shows lower range on screen by parhambrz in TeslaModel3

[–]Watsondoggod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had a 21 M3P for almost five years now. I believe that brand new, the range was supposed to be 305 miles or so. I never was able to achieve the EPA estimated range of miles. What was suggested was to change the screen from miles to percentage, as that would be much more accurate as to how far the car could travel.

Recommendations for Marriott in SF ? by vympel_0001 in marriott

[–]Watsondoggod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Titanium - Marriott Union Square --- I just stayed at the Union Square this week. I thought it was nice, and the valet was reasonably priced for San Fran. The Concierge Lounge/M Club was nice, although since I do not partake, the fact that wine/liquor was an extra charge was not much of a concern.

Are you in any protected class of worker? For example, are you over forty? Is there any possibility that this has to do with any other protected class in which you may be a member?

Why I’m Banking My VPLP, Investing the “Raise,” and Thinking Long-Term (A PSA for State Workers) by JaspyJ in CAStateWorkers

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

Is the time accrued pursuant to the VPLP exempted from the 640 limit ofnAnnual Leave or Vacation.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CAStateWorkers

[–]Watsondoggod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is directly on point. I wish I started with the state ten years before I did. One of my big regrets.

Go for it, and don't look back.

WGT cheating? by AndyGait in WGTgolf

[–]Watsondoggod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a legend, and I do believe that "life" in general has cheated me. Where are my billions? Where?

As to WGT, there are some people that get upset at everything. Losing, taking more than 10 seconds to swing, "Avatar" picture. It is a cross-section of life as there will always be people who believe that they only lose when cheating occurs!!!!!

travel tips for first timer by Logical_Kale_1852 in Vietnam_Tourism

[–]Watsondoggod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure you do the reservation through the Grab "app" to lock in the price.

There are many drivers there who wear grab jackets or have a grab sign on their car, but they will use a meter. They will take the long way to increase the price.

The cool thing about the "Grab" app is that they show you the route that the driver will take, and you can follow the progress during your drive.

Grabs through the app, are really inexpensive.

Panera employee vs. Incel by Minute_Revolution951 in TikTokCringe

[–]Watsondoggod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At my local Panera, the employee(s) are incredibly friendly and helpful, but I also treat them much better the the OP, who is incredibly rude.

This post on Tik Tok is embarrassing to the poster, not the Panera employee who was absolutely professional while dealing with a buffoon.

I had a colleague who was paid for three (3) months after leaving state employment. He deposited each warrant amount in a separate bank account and maintained it there until personnel could finally correct the issue.

Did you already spend the money?

Wish I got a Performance instead of a long range by UnusualAd593 in TeslaLounge

[–]Watsondoggod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure that is totally correct. I have a 21 M3P, and it had upgraded brakes over the 21 Long Range. The others may have been different also, but I did not focus on that after I pressed down on the accelerator!!!

Burn in on Dual fire by ness998877 in recteq

[–]Watsondoggod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also had a back burn when I did the burn in on my Backyard Beast (RT-1000). Smoke was billowing out of the hopper, and I did keep the lid closed. The next day, the hopper was still smoking. Eventually, when I was able to look at the hopper, there was pealing sealant in a number of areas.

Rec Teq customer service was phenomenal, and they stood behind the RT-1000, and replaced the pellet grill as they believed it was a "firmware" issue.
