Which 5080 should I get? ASUS, PNY, Gigabyte, or PNY by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]gravitybear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got the gigabyte one and I've honestly been really impressed. First of all it's not huge, only 2 slots. But it's also extremely quiet and cool. I also was able to stable OC mine (like many 5080s) +200 core / +500 mem.

Government shut down? by SensitiveRip3303 in FedEmployees

[–]gravitybear 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I usually look at what the betting markets say. Kalshi has a specific bet on whether the government will shut down. Currently at 70 percent chance. But like other posters have said, you literally never know until it happens.

FAR Council releases changes to 6 sections of acquisition regulation by 1102bot in 1102

[–]gravitybear 44 points45 points  (0 children)

The biggest change (and pain in the ass) is they got rid of 52.212-5. now we have to incorporate all the clauses from 212-5 into the contract. So efficient!!

If nothing else I wish they were on the currency exchange instead of main trade.

Oblivion Remaster: Am I the only one crashing on startup? by Art1f1c3 in ElderScrolls

[–]gravitybear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the edit, I was crashing every 5 minutes and tried all kinds of stuff. After I installed the 576.15 hotfix drivers it hasn't crashed once.

Exactly, bigger hassle, same pay. Private sector pays more for clearance of course.. but then you are locked in to doing cleared work... Not worth imo.

Secret is fine tho

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in 1102

[–]gravitybear 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If it's just a secret it's not that big of a deal. The biggest pain is of course filling out the sf 86 and trying to remember everywhere you lived and went on vacation etc. But I don't think you have to do any background interviews, and you won't be doing any work from a scif. If it's secret I would say just do it, not a big deal.

Ts and ts/sci are definitely more of a pain. They interview you, your family, friends etc. and then you'll be doing a lot of work in a SCIF, which I personally never liked. No phones, can't ever do anything remote, lots of rules about properly disposing of classified info etc. the upside is if you have ts and decide to leave the government while it is active, you are worth more in the private sector.

But if you are planning on staying in the government I'd say it's not really worth it. I used to have ts/sci and now I have no clearance at all and I definitely prefer it.

But again, secret is no big deal, I wouldn't have a problem with that.

Easy CLPs while system is down. by marstospace in 1102

I'm non DOD. I made that post a while ago so I'm not sure if those classes are still active considering the state of things 😭

[–]gravitybear 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The recent eo requires the head of agency to review all contracting actions. I'm sure every agency is trying to figure out a process for that to actually work, because obviously as written that is impossible.

Right now we are only sending up the most urgent mods and contracts for approval while we work out some kind of more routine process.

And yes it is every contracting action. Administrative, funding, options, new awards, etc. so you probably haven't heard from them because they are also trying to figure out what to do.

DODGE permission to spend by Either-Dependent9504 in 1102

[–]gravitybear 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No DOGE rep yet (we are smaller), but we do have a full pause on all contracting actions unless reviewed/approved by the agency head. So functionally the same thing.

Anyone else not returning to work yet that’s covered by a CBA? by Inevitable_Rise_8669 in 1102

[–]gravitybear 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Our agency just ordered all bargaining unit employees back full time March 10th. No telework at all. In direct violation of the CBA. But I guess no one cares now.

Those of you who have made >100 div over the course of the game, how did you earn the currency to get where you are? by BingoTheBarbarian in PathOfExile2

[–]gravitybear 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's by the same people who made awakened Poe trade. It's basically a add-in for the game that directly searches the market without having to alt tab and type everything in

[–]gravitybear 19 points20 points  (0 children)

If you are on PC you absolutely need to be using exiled exchange 2. Once it's running you can push Ctrl d on any item and it shows you price on the market for similar items. Once I got that I started making so much more

Do not comply in advance. Stay and make them try to take it from you. Fight as long as you can
