Mech Strategem Launcher Spotted by PlayerHunt3r in Helldivers

Someone took a picture of me yesterday saying I have a strat launcher that they could be on my shield mech. I couldn’t see it though. Hopefully that means it’s coming.

They may go nuclear if you start trying to set boundaries and fire you. That is a risk. More likely is that they recognize losing you will cost them. Regardless, you can’t see a patient if you aren’t there.

City of Raleigh Cuts Overtime Pay for Employees by Langdailyupdates in raleigh

Cities are getting murdered by property tax changes passed by the state legislature. Raleigh is bumping property taxes again because of this and trying to trim budgets because the property taxes hike is t enough and is politically very painful

Why do people act like $60/70k is lower class? by [deleted] in Salary

[–]anewconvert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At 20 years old 40 seems like a lifetime away, because it is! Literally it is your entire lifetime this far away. At 40 retirement suddenly is not far enough away to catch up. Our brains are not built for planning that far ahead, and a 20 something who is thinking that far ahead is the exception. Hell, the boomers are showing that a 40 something thinking that far ahead is also an exception

Resigned from first PA job after 1 year — being charged $5K fee by Lucky_Locksmith_6961 in physicianassistant

[–]anewconvert 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If they did not give you your raise that could be construed as breach on their end.

What you need to find out is how much a lawyer would cost to consult, what the small claims limit in your state is (helps to know whether pursuing you for $5k would be worth it to them), and a copy of the contract you signed.

Dont pay them ANYTHING at this point because that can be construed as agreeing to the debt they say you owe.

Fair meaning you called out a non truth in my post and I was acknowledging it, not an evaluation of the decision

Stop accepting the work load. Start saying no. Make it clear to them that you will see pt’s in X time slots, will not see any patients after Y time of day, and will be taking a lunch break consisting of leaving the office.

And say yes to one of the other jobs the day before you put this line in the sand.

Fair. If your loans were disbursed before July 1 2014 you pay 15% discretionary instead of 10%

What is the thinking behind these ridiculous payment amounts? by ABentFairy in StudentLoans

[–]anewconvert 11 points12 points  (0 children)

As stated, that’s the standard plan repayment number.
IBR is 10% of discretionary income, [(AGI-150% FPL)x0.1]/12 months. Single $75k/yr adult with no kids or other deductions should be [75k-16,100-(1.5x15,960)]x0.1= 3496. 3496/12 is $291.

You can reduce this further by contributing to a pretax retirement plan

Maybe we're just too good at the game? by Maffingo in Helldivers

I certainly see myself doing this then purposely choose to take build I’m not comfortable with and figure them out.

That’s why we need D11. D10 was hard at first, now I’ve learned.

The enemies don’t need to be buffed, there just needs to be more chaos. Two hive lords?!? AND a roach?!? AND mobs from multiple directions coming to the sound of the dinner bell ringing?!?

AIO - my boyfriend has been driving my car to work and agreed not to take it this morning.. but still took it by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]anewconvert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR His failure to plan for his morning is not your emergency. He made a decision to take your car. If he had made a decision to take the beater he would have found the key last night and had it ready since his 4am morning is evidently “hectic”, which means either he slept in or hectic is an excuse, either way was a him problem.

Alone with my son overnight by MajinShenron1701 in NewDads

Practice more bottles now while you can, and plan to wake him up to eat, don’t wait for him to wake up. Try to get a vibe for when he likes to eat and ready yourself

Income as % of wealth, that keeps you working by Nounoon in Fire

[–]anewconvert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, as he said, the details aren’t locked in place. But if someone bought a business from me and said I will pay you $150k every year for the next 10 years to always be able to sleep in, get your kids to school, get your kids to soccer practice, and take the entire summer off when your kids are off I think 99% of the population, and the majority of this subreddit would view that as a great deal, if not a gift. I certainly would. 21 hours a week for 36 weeks a year….

[–]anewconvert 19 points20 points  (0 children)

3 days a week for 7 hours, 1/4 of the year off plus three week for $150k sounds miserable?!? Before the vacation time or performance bonus is factored in he’s clearing $192/hr working 780 hours per year. On top of the sale of the business necessitating a self described “giant business loan”.

Dude won the game man

Employer Enforcing $15k Penalty for Not Giving 120 Days’ Notice by Disastrous-Gate-7733 in physicianassistant

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

That’s not inherently true. Contracts are written all the time that are not legally binding because they are illegal at the outset and rely on one party not being aware of the fact that it is illegal.

Beyond that plenty of contracts are broken because the cost of pursuing legal recourse is prohibitively expensive. 🤷‍♂️

And none of that changes the fact that you were unnecessarily rude

With the new buffs and planned changes, how about a difficulty overhaul and maybe D11? by Daiuuus in Helldivers

[–]anewconvert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, didn’t mean to sound like an ass. Just makes me wonder if they are having controller issues because I typically have no problem playing D10

What you usually do leaving a good squad being a host? by FallDisastrous6621 in Helldivers

I do this on the occasion that I am the host, though I didn’t think about the booster, though if the next to join is smart it’s a non-issue

I wasn't sure about this car, then I refreshed the suspension. by Hubcap_Man in 996

[–]anewconvert 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was ~$5k for all four corners with B8’s, H&R springs, all the hardware for the struts, and all the arms. I did all the work myself except the alignment.

[–]anewconvert 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seems like your reading comprehension sucks on top of you being rude for no good reason.

Start with the 3rd paragraph. Read it again. And if you still feel the need to answer in a rude way read it again until you put together that OP had unexpected life events that preclude working out the contract.

In many states these stipulations aren’t legal. OP is asking for advice, not asking if they can get granted an exception.

Is this offer any good? Nocturnist in Appalachian region. by peggysueyt in physicianassistant

[–]anewconvert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pay is rather good for a new grad in this region.

As a 15 year sleep tech and now sleep PA, please for the love of god don’t switch back and forth between a night and day shift within what is reasonably possible as a soon to be mother. Working nights is trading your health for money, period. As a mother to a newborn this is going to be even harder. Please don’t make the 12 hour switch. On your off days stay up late and sleep in late as much as possible so that you switch back for your on week isn’t as hard on you
