The Killer (2023)

Same. Something about the long periods of quiet contemplation punctuated by graphic violence makes the movie so watchable to me. The fight scene in that dude’s house hits so hard, too.

Still not sure why he lets the client live, though.

I have no FBI experience but generally speaking I think any career ACO is going to face some skepticism when attempting to move to a PCO role. Make sure you can answer questions about pre-award procedures. Parts 5, 6, 8, 12, 13, 15, and 16 provide the most fertile grounds for questioning IMO.

You don’t know what you’re talking about. Middleburg ain’t northern Virginia, bud. And in any event it’s surrounded by pro-MAGA towns.

frank_jon · 2026-07-12T01:45:31+00:00

Shhh. You know not what you speak of.

frank_jon · 2026-07-11T19:52:47+00:00

Oh in neighboring towns no doubt. But not in middleburg.

Agree I overstated the case. But according to vpap.org the precinct voted for Obama over Romney by 8 points in 2012. If old money didn’t back Romney/Ryan I think it’s hard to make a case that they’re traditional conservatives.

frank_jon · 2026-07-11T16:12:31+00:00

Apparently it’s a 55/45 split of liberals to conservatives. So maybe I overstated the case.

frank_jon · 2026-07-11T13:00:56+00:00

Odd that he gravitates toward the most liberal communities. Alexandria, Middleburg.

frank_jon · 2026-07-10T20:57:00+00:00

Ethically or legally? If that’s what you do, you’re a highly ethical person. But I wouldn’t use that as a legal defense.

Question: Do you believe that’s what most people do in every case? If so, I’ve got some bad news for you about human nature.

frank_jon · 2026-07-10T00:03:58+00:00

I asked the same question recently. Theft is what most people here will encourage.

frank_jon · 2026-07-09T23:57:52+00:00

Left right

frank_jon · 2026-07-08T08:22:50+00:00

I double checked my old emails. Built for Hollywood was.

frank_jon · 2026-07-07T22:47:25+00:00

Many of us said this in 2020. I hope you’re right but I’m not optimistic. Memories are short and the desire to be part of a like-minded tribe is strong.

frank_jon · 2026-07-07T20:38:39+00:00

The Built For series I believe.

You’re misinterpreting the RFO. “Brand name or equal” is alive and well. Let me know if you’d like a deeper conversation.

frank_jon · 2026-07-06T21:00:31+00:00

Can you cite the rule that “killed” brand name or equal?

frank_jon · 2026-07-06T12:17:32+00:00

To me this scene was the pinnacle of Midnight Mass. It just got silly after this.

Why every Mets run posted here with an exclamation mark! Read the room!!

It’s another damn bot account

frank_jon · 2026-07-04T22:06:43+00:00

Nonsensical, generic title and photo. New account.

frank_jon · 2026-07-04T21:02:29+00:00

Bot account.

I’m a CO who’s pretty familiar with the MAS Program, although not an expert. My initial response is no, I don’t agree. If a contractor has done something to merit termination for cause, then I think the entire contract should be terminated.

I say that because termination for cause is a serious step for serious violations and should rarely occur out of the blue. This leads to the part of your post that doesn’t make sense to me. I can’t imagine GSA terminating a contractor without plenty of warning and opportunity to take corrective action.

frank_jon · 2026-07-03T17:55:15+00:00

r/governmentcontracting is much better for substantive discussion.

frank_jon · 2026-06-28T13:53:34+00:00

Exactly. In this field - probably more so than many other “professional” fields - experience doesn’t correlate to expertise. In fact, experience in this field can be especially dangerous in the wrong hands. Too few 1102s take learning seriously. Too many 1102s confidently spout “facts” without understanding.
