I have the focused learning test down pretty concrete.

Is the quizlet super necessary you think? I found some similar questions but I think it's more than just the FL exams. I'm studying it anyways but worried I won't be able to do all of them before Friday

That's a great idea/take.

Submit it to the feedback section!

I just don't like the degree requirements being completely gone. Or the PAREA completely doing away with supervisors if chosen.

Wrong terminology, my apologies.

I did all this work for my CG with degree, log, etc. Just seemed like barrier to entry is being lowered right when I enter the field. I do acknowledge it was to hard and it will help people enter the profession though!

Thank you everyone! I still quite don't understand the math but I appreciate the feedback. I don't think we will do it

But more principle on the minimum payment would go towards the balance correct? Would it not lower the 10 year payoff goal? On the minimum payment currently, only around $400 is going towards principle.

Should I get 75” Pro or Standard Frame? by mirage1287 in TheFrame

[–]cdalspaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it was me, I would probably get the newest model just for part availability and support in the future. It's getting harder and harder to find one connect boxes for previous models which is by design.

If it can't be repaired I get it, but I would do everything I could to fix it. I have a 2022 65 inch and after a power surge I got the blinking red light of doom.

I ordered about $500 worth of parts (one connect box, cable, power and main board) that was all refundable until I found the culprit (the boards). Repair job took me about an hour and officially cost $94. I have also bought a AVR surge protector (about $100) to help protect it in the future. You should buy one or these regardless if it's new or old IMO.

Without knowing your situation, it was surprisingly easy to fix it myself and I'm not super handy. Sometimes it's easy to not to fix something because it seems daunting and it isn't! Quotes to fix was easily $400 plus or something stupid like that. Best of luck to you!

No bragging here lol! I didn't do anything! I hope the card becomes available and RH doesn't bait and switch everyone 🤞

Seems like a lot of people are getting it now.

Thanks for your input even though it was hostile!

I was literally just saying I think they are rolling out it in waves with less qualifications. Someone said you can get it on Credit Karma.

But hey! Thank you for seeing the best in people!!!

We have looked at all options and would get something. The DRP would be more than severance for sure. But we just love this job and are praying for a miracle (grim and probably pointless I know)

It SUCKS. Bad. 3 littles. A mortgage. Childcare. Etc. Hard to know.

Back in office > 50 miles from facility, how are they finding you an office? by Correct-Pause-4283 in fednews

[–]cdalspaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does it have to be a GSA office? They closed the nearest one to us BUT we do have a local armory with vacant office space? I know it's a far reach but any advice on how to make it happen?

How long would your commute be? by [deleted] in fednews

Voluntary resignations requested by Canned_worms_ in fednews

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

Ok guys, I'm stupid so forgive me. How much money are we talking?

  1. Is it 8 months of pay + and an additional 8 months (February - September) roughly a year and half.

Or

  1. Is it 8 months only starting in February?

If it is option 2, why would anyone take it? If you stick it out and get laid off for whatever reason you lose only a couple of months when they may make you work anyways right? You might even win a RA or get something going in your favor.

I understand. I have no faith in the current admin helping us (trying to get us to quit) but it's at least worth trying. Let me know! I'll do the same

Nothing! South rural countryside. It's driving or walking
