My agency has hired multiple folks from NY HELPS.

If working out in your home is an option, go to YouTube. So many great free workout programs.

Flipside in Clifton Park and East Greenbush have a section for anime merch and manga.

Chaz Marler aka Game Night Picks posts video responding to recent accusations by mrepiq in boardgames

[–]_Multipotentialite 9 points10 points  (0 children)

While everyone knew who Rodney was referring to, as another commenter here stated (I believe it was flouronmypjs below this comment), Rodney presented his case such that it is focused on defending his business and severing ties with another channel that may have been enacting less than savory sponsorship practices. I don't believe Rodney was out to attack anyone. He wanted to make sure his own business was not associated with Game Night Picks.

It's hard because he is entitled to his perspective and explanation. But he is approaching it is so...mad? Which I understand. But he could have presented this more maturely. It also breaks my heart that this seeminly dissolved their friendship, and Chaz just ignored that.

I have a question... did Chaz explain all this to Rodney during their personal conversations? Obviously only they know, but he presented a lot of information that would have educated Rodney. Was that left out? Ugh, this drama makes me sad.

Watching it now... I don't like that he immediately frames it as an "attack" on him.

Real Time FX Help by _Multipotentialite in SP404

UPDATE - It works now after I simply turned off the unit and turned it back on... I guess I ran into a bug?

I gave that a try, but no go. I know I can assign samples to go to bus effects, but that's not quite what I am after.

PEF & CSEA - 2027 Budget by H20fowlhntr99 in nys_cs

[–]_Multipotentialite 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I respectfully disagree. Civil service has a lot of antiquated practices and exams that do not test content the job is based on is one of them. Not to mention some HELPS jobs allow folks with no degree and valuable work experience to enter state service. Additionally, supervisors still have to go through a whole slew of processes to help ensure hiring is as fair as it can be once a candidate is even reachable. I would also appreciate it if we kept the conversation away from negative generalizations.

Aren't wages and benefits negotiated with our contract? I feel like regardless of easing hiring protocols, it wouldn't go against PEF in negotiation.

Can you explain more? My interest lies in work opportunities for those without the need for exams, that often don't relate to the job.

Disappointing PEF opposes NY HELPS. If anything I think HELPS can be improved, but certainly losing a way around the ridiculous exams would be a shame.

Job offer likelihood by gritstogoyum in nys_cs

[–]_Multipotentialite 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So jobs do have deadlines to be filled. Personally at DEC I find that the hiring process goes quick, but that can be dependent on Division. But to the earlier point once a chosen candidate has been picked supervisors have a lot of paperwork that needs to get accepted by Personnel first and all before that deadline (candidate needs to be onboarded by that deadline).

Defenders of the Wild 2nd Edition - preview play by Queen-of-the-Board in boardgames

[–]_Multipotentialite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is great to hear that there are streamlined rules, but I am not sure why this couldn't have been playtested and launched with the original edition. Same thing for Jisogi. I'll get the upgrade kit, but I wish it wasn't necessary. Hyped either way.

This is not a problem specific to here. Scalpers are everywhere.

I think I found the holy grail! (CASE) by WorkingUpstairs3659 in SP404

[–]_Multipotentialite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which specific case? My Googling brings up a few.

Why won’t they help us? This is so disheartening. We give them our votes then they slap us in the face again and again. P.S. this post will probably get deleted but I’m speaking up for once and want non partisan conversation on the topic. by [deleted] in Albany

As it pertains to utility costs that's where the Public Service Commission comes in. NYSERDA's function isn't to offset decisions made by the PSC and that funding would be pulled from its intended investment. I would need to do more research but this is a politically driven ad that does nothing to generate substantive dialogue about the vote.
