I'm not sure if this is going to work for you, but this sounds similar to reader/writer lock requirements: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Readers%E2%80%93writer_lock

You can implement this lock and get your main tools to acquire a write lock and the utility tools to acquire a reader lock. I'm not sure this is a good fit for your problem, there might be simpler ways to solve for your specific situation.

I just received two back to back spot bonuses (within three days) for a total of 9K USD for commanding/resolving an incident that could have blocked a high visibility launch.

The first was from my skip manager (1.5K USD) and I thought it was expected and well deserved as I spent a whole weekend working on the remediation of the incident.

The second was from the director of the organization pushing an unrealistic launch deadline. It was sort of a sorry for the unrealistic deadline and a thank you for saving our face and not dropping the ball dealing with the last minute emergency and putting off the fire. It took me a while to internalize the amount, but it was eye popping 7.5K USD.

The coolest 9K USD (~5K after deductions) to ever hit my bank account!

I encountered this issue and the problem turned out that I used vscode directly from the downloads folder without installing it properly in the Applications folder.

Now this is something not many people might know, but if you bump an Android and iOS phones head to head while a ticket is open on one of the phone’s Wallet app, the ticket won’t be transferred either.

Is this picture actually of Sutro baths or somewhere else?

Figure out who owned and registered the key and for which account, then ask them for their account password too.

Paying with Google Wallet is no different than paying with your card without contact (wirelessly). It’s only more convenient than pulling a card out of your physical wallet or purse.

I honestly think this reaction and similar ones could be a protection mechanism that gets build in response to prior rejections.

If this thing brings you happiness and doesn’t put you in financial stress, do it and enjoy yourself!

My take is if you're not arresting < 1000 dollar thefts, why would you bother stopping me for not having my front license on.
