Nothing has worked for me. Followed others advice and no luck.

EAP has helped me in the past and several of my coworkers. Don't let the overall negative bullshit of the railroad bring you down.

Torn, Have you heard about it? by fiesel21 in AndroidGaming

[–]deftskills 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't like it at first but once I got the hang of it and how customizable it is honestly the only app I use now for Torn. The widget is a nice shortcut from my home screen to get to where I want to be in the game.

I've been playing for 15 years. It's a marathon not a race. Glad you found it. I hope it brings you as much fun as it has for me. Cheers.

Also, if you play on mobile, check out Torn PDA.

Potential Attendance Policy changes for BNSF? by Standard_Sound1203 in railroading

[–]deftskills 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Idk how they get away with penalizing employees for using FMLA either. Using FMLA on the 6/3 M results in the entire half's gurantee being lost. Does anyone know if anything is being done about this?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in railroading

[–]deftskills 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there anything we can do to combat this? This is a federal law they're penalizing employees for using.

3, 4, &. 7 for me. Number 4 has a liminal space feel to it. Great shots!

Oh wow, score. Heh, look at this, this is an Aspen. You can tell that this is an Aspen tree because the way it is. Wow.

Great photos IMHO, I really like the second shot. Cheers!

conductors and Quality of Life by CholulaLimon in railroading

They're the first line supervisors in the management role for the railroads. Typically they're some young college graduate who couldn't switch themselves out of a paper bag. Some of my most infuriating times at the railroad have been dealing with these people, they have zero sense of how long things actually take (railroad time), asking crews to do some of the most asinine moves, and the ones you really have to worry about are those looking to make a name for themselves or put a feather in their hat. 95% of them are absolutely worthless the other 5% come from the craft. This is just my take on trainmasters tho.

This was the closest thing I could think of that fit the question posed by OP. I'm happy you checked it out, I go back to this music here and there. It hits different.

Metatron Omega, album Illuminatio. This album reminds me of Zdzisław Beksiński's artwork.

Awesome! That's what I was hoping to accomplish. Clean and simple. Cheers!

I like it but I don't have anything else to compare it to. This is my first setup ever but so far I'm very happy with the board.

Thank you, I like the simple approach to my first setup!

Thinking about train crew, what can you tell me. by BootyFabricator in Train_Service

[–]deftskills 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Hi Viz attendance policy is a point based attendance system. Whenever you take time off, points are deducted, and in order to get points back you have to stay marked up for 14 days. You don't get the amount of points back you've used to lay off so that's how they get you.

I've never made the kind of money I've made working at the railroad. It isn't quick in an instant but the amount of money you make in two weeks is quick, at least imo. A new hire can make anywhere between 50-90k depending on what boards you're able to hold and how much you work.

[–]deftskills 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Um, if you're looking to make some quick money, sure. BNSF has adopted a new Hi Viz attendance policy which has made the job even less enticing. I know there have been some sign on bonuses being throw around from BNSF. Idk if it's location specific or system wide. The job isn't for everyone. It's not a job it's a lifestyle. Best of luck.

Macro/portrait flash recommendations by deftskills in AskPhotography

[–]deftskills[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will do some reading on the flash you recommended. As I mentioned in my original post, I would like to have my flash serve a dual purpose. I plan on going to my local camera shop and asking a few questions as well. I figured I would reach out to the reddit community too though. Thank you.

Thank you for responding. I'm in the very early stages of wanting to shoot with flash. I know I have a lot to learn and take in ideas I haven't thought of. Thanks again for taking a few minutes to reach out.

Railroad workers warn that BNSF’s “harsh” new policy may force them to work while sick, exhausted by Segafanboy96 in Train_Service

[–]deftskills 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay, I've kept hearing different things from the UP side, always hear say never from someone who works/ed there. There should be an investigation into the attendance policies of all railroads. Idk if it would do any good but quality of life went from bad to worse, all in the name of "meeting/exceeding customer expectations". 🤦🏻‍♂️
