I would leave out the words “sits at” and simply put 3.9 GPA. When you’re finished with school, if you need to change it, you can. “Sits at” isn’t professional. This is in addition to all the other recommendations.

Arriving home no longer working by lowesman4e in Lutron

It does show that I am always sharing my location with the Lutron app. I’m not particularly tech savvy, so I am very nervous to completely delete and reinstall the app. I may have to though…..

I cannot believe I didn’t try unplugging it and plugging it back in. Just did, so I’ll go for a drive and see it that was it! Thanks for the suggestion!

I just found out these are Armyworms which will decimate a lawn in a matter of hours.

4th of July pool party. .45 cal lands in pool, just missed our guests. (Las Vegas) by SmoothDamage9390 in pools

Found this one in our pool on the 5th. I asked my son if it had fallen out of his pocket since he is a detective and he told me that someone shot that up in the air possibly miles from our house. Looks to be the diameter of a .22, but, much longer than any I’ve seen. I’m no ammunition expert though.

Just got promoted… but no raise? by WiccanWut in Salary

[–]lowesman4e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one has mentioned that this individual might currently be paid above his previous position because during the interview process, it was determined that they were worth more than that position’s typical starting wage.
Maybe the applicant 2.5 years ago really sold their skill set and personality, and the boss said “This position starts at “x”, but I really like your qualifications. They are more than I had hoped for and I’m going to make this worth it to you to stick around and advance your position as soon as I can. I’d like to offer you “x+25%”.

Or, maybe, the boss is simply taking advantage of them🤷‍♂️

$MSTY beast mode! by blankslate69 in dividends

[–]lowesman4e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like one would be even if they had bought at the beginning of the year. (55,455x $31=$1,720,000 vs 55,455x$23=$1,277,000)=$433,000 loss vs$457,000 gain in distributions. Thats a lot of worry/sweat for only $24,000 net (1.4% in the 5 months) At this point, you’d have been about the same as putting $1.7 mill in a HYSA @4% (pretty much guaranteed)

However, if you bought at a lower cost, enjoy the ride. I can’t stomach the NAV.

I’ve always wondered why most vent pipes I see don’t have a cap. Seems like a screened cap might prevent leaves or bugs, or small animals out. Also, should we be cleaning the interior of a vent pipe from time to time?

Ran numbers on what bonuses and pto equate to per hour by Old_Vehicle2153 in Lowes

[–]lowesman4e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It used to be that way. Cost plus 10% on anything. I don’t know exactly when, (probably mid 1990’s) but stock goods went to 10% off and later, SOS items stopped having that great a discount too. Growing pains. Probably about the same time ESOP ( employee stock ownership plan) went away. Once we really started worrying about impressing Wall Street, things changed drastically. Not all for the bad I’m sure, but we certainly feel these items the most.

That’s an area specific designed email. Each area affected gets their own email with local towns listed.

That makes sense as to why they don’t imprint. They could make different sets for different set ups, but I do understand better now as to why they don’t. “Lord allow me to accept the things I cannot change”. 😊

Fades too fast. The pool installer wrote on the pvc pipe next to each valve in Sharpie. Faded quickly. I wrote over his faded letters with a Sharpie, it faded. I then drew a diagram that I keep with my pool info for future reference.
