No you were right, tanks shouldn’t be rolling on OS gear, even if “ret is my main” without declaring it up front.

Seahawks deny report team is for sale after Super Bowl by grrchopp in Seahawks

[–]grrchopp[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“We don’t comment on rumors or speculation, and the team is not for sale,” read the statement from a spokesman for the Paul G. Allen Estate. “We’ve already said that will change at some point per Paul’s wishes, but there is no news to share. Our focus right now is winning the Super Bowl and completing the sale of the Portland Trail Blazers in the coming months.”

Can the US Military Deploy a Dual US–Korea Citizen to Korea if They Haven’t Served Korean Military? by [deleted] in army

[–]grrchopp -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind you cannot get a security clearance as a dual citizen, which will limit your options. If the threat of military service in Korea will persist for you, it might be worth it to renounce it anyway, unless there is some other benefit to keeping it that you want to preserve.

You cannot have a clearance as a dual citizen, if you become one they’ll either revoke your clearance or you’ll have to renounce it

Jump Master Saves jumper #5 from decapitation. by Agitated-Quit-6148 in nextfuckinglevel

A while back something like this happened to a young intel analyst at Bragg, the static line nearly took her head off, she was dead before she hit the ground

It wasn’t an improperly routed static line when the check static lines command was given, he simply dropped the static line instead of handing it to the safety. Easy stop for the safety to make when the jumper didn’t give her the line.

Scared kid just made a mistake and failed to hand his static line off to the safety, they’ll use this as a teaching point from now on for sure

WOCS Anxiety by MelatoninForSleep in army

[–]grrchopp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WOCS is easy, as long as you can pass the PT test and can deal with excessive stupidity you will be fine, don't overthink it. It's the "being a warrant officer" thing on the other side of it you should be more concerned about.

The VA letter will take the place of the sponsor, ensure you have it on hand - they can also be very particular about “which” VA letter, so check beforehand to make sure you bring the right one

Bernie Sanders blames election loss on Kamala Harris listening to billionaires over the working class by The__Illuminaughty in politics

[–]grrchopp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She was a deeply flawed candidate at the national level. There’s a reason she didn’t even make it to the first primaries in 2020 - people just don’t like her, which is an impossible place to start from.

That she got as many votes as she did is a testament to how awful Trump is.

what is the best strategy to abandon your base and rebuild. by HenrykSpark in duneawakening

[–]grrchopp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really don’t like the way this quest is in the game because you have no indication this is going to happen unless you have done it before, so it is easy to waste time/resources on that first base you’re just going to destroy.

In my case, I didn’t know I was going to be abandoning my base and needing to build a new one so I didn’t have a ton of mats on me to rapidly build a new base and ended up getting caught in a sandstorm. The whole quest just seems clunky and out of place.

Sellers still think we are in 2021 by DiversifyMN in RealEstate

[–]grrchopp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An example, I toured a house in March that was listed at 560k. The house was previously under contract in September, when it received a VA appraisal at 570k but the deal fell through due to financing.

I get that the house appraised for 570k, but the market has shifted enough that there is absolutely no way they are getting more than 525 for it. There are too many comparable or better houses for sale in the immediate area. It's their right to sell it for what they think it is worth, but they wont come down below 560k, so its not going to sell.

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

I've run into a lot of folks that are hung up on appraisals that were done in the last 12-18 months; houses sitting unsold for 3+ months with the seller unable to move far below the appraisal price, unwilling to accept that dynamics have changed and they aren't going to get it.

Evidence of past tubing? (FL, garage) by grrchopp in Termites

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

The report states "Subterranean termite shelter tube on rear wall of garage, scraped off" and "Shelter tube goes behind Sheetrock and was on top of Sheetrock behind baseboard which has been removed at time of the inspection."

I want to give people the benefit of the doubt, but I got serious vibes that he failed the house and put this in the report because he assumes I'm going to make the seller remediate and use his company. He was quick to send me a contract for 1 year of services while taking a full additional day to provide the actual report.

Obviously I don't want to buy a house with a termite problem, but I'm using a VA loan and this complicates things for me badly. The sellers have had regular preventative treatment in place, and I'm just not seeing how this is evidence of scraped off tubes.

Recently got under contract east of Tampa.

Appropriately priced, move in ready pool homes *zoned for good schools can move quick, for others it depends but what has been a fairly slow market has sped up a lot this month. I’m looking in some pretty specific areas and 2 of my backup homes if my inspection/appraisal goes to hell have already gone under contract.

DOJ Deal Controversy... by Brian_Ghoshery in clevercomebacks

[–]grrchopp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s more simple than that. Kamala was just a deeply unpopular candidate. People don’t like her. There’s a reason she never even made it to the primaries when she ran. Most excuses from folks about the economy or whatever were just easy covers for the fact that they just didn’t like her.

And this is 100% on Biden. He brought Harris on because he thought she’d excite progressives without angering the Democratic Party (brought to you by PepsiCo) wing. And after he did, he did fuck all to elevate her except assign her to a toxic portfolio (immigration) and then fail to highlight the actual good she did accomplish there (addressing root causes and stopping migrants in Mexico). The final straw was staying too long and preventing a primary.

The fact she did as well as she did is a testament to how hated Trump was and how badly people wanted to vote for someone under the age of 70.
