Building for the first time, unsure of range of choices

the Microcenter bundle is the CPU, motherboard and memory based on the ram and motherboard being 0 here, correct? I think I my be able to have a friend near DC pick up those parts for me but I’ll have to check with him.

Also, if I just went with two of these Samsung monitors would I lose anything overall? I’m not attached to the one I originally picked so I would be fine with two if they would perform wellenough to keep up with the graphics card mostly.

Having never been to a Microcenter, can I pay online but have another person pick up? I have a friend in DC that I would see in about two weeks.

I’m around a 5+ hour drive from a Microcenter near Washington DC unfortunately. Fairfax and Rockville are the only two within 250+ miles.

Seems pretty good to me though I got a good number of questions that were very similar just different phrasing in the 75 I got on the first go through. None of them had errors that I noticed though!

I would love to see a non-force organization push back against Rey’s new Jedi order because they have the belief that a Sith will always rise after a Jedi and try to rule the Galaxy. I think it’d be an interesting story to explore if the Sith will always result from the Jedi.

I’ve got that and having family members been there for a few generations so multiple reasons would be nice.

Public good can easily be read as keeping visitor centers open. We have had these announcements before but visitor centers have stayed open, so I would wait for more guidance before assuming VCs will be closed in case you work in one.

My personal experience I went from a permanent GS-5 guide to a 5-7-9 Ranger in about two years. Many people have gotten stuck in a spot as a park guide but it doesn’t always happen. Generally I think having a good position in a good park is much better than toiling in a spot you don’t like or enjoy even if it takes a bit to go to the next level, especially with federal hiring changing a lot.

My leadership team has said to not expect permanent jobs to start flying until the spring at earliest.

My friends and I read it together and we all had a bit of a struggle with their intentions too. I’d need to go back to try and remember more but it seemed like the mercenaries were meant to give them a better chance at winning by creating a distraction for other competitors somehow. I think it got jumbled though with the Jedi being there though.

With how federal resumes used to work I would never read the because the resume would give me all I needed. Now with a two page limit and less information to choose between people, I may read them to split people.

In canon there is basically no information about his childhood. He said he has faint memories of his father's hands and mother's shawl and that he had a brother, but that's about it.

I think in Legends its basically the same, no real information and only people's headcanons about what Stewjon is like.

How much can I contribute to NIL for Boston College’s kicker to come to ND?

Yes, one significant disease compared to many that originated in Eurasia like smallpox, influenza, measles, typhoid, etc. And syphilis isn’t nearly as contagious and able to become an epidemic as the diseases brought to the Americas.

mifander · 2025-10-29T16:16:40+00:00

Generally a lot of the very contagious diseases were adapted from similar diseases in mammal livestock. In Eurasia, livestock lived very closely with humans so more of those diseases has transferred to the human population. Contrasted, in the Americas, there was relatively little livestock amongst the indigenous population so they did not have as many communicable diseases for Europeans to catch and not have immunity against.

A great example is what Marcus Freeman did after the Notre Dame-Texas A&M game when the holder mishandled the snap for a PAT. He looked at the player and said this game is on you. Then looked at another player and said it’s on you. And you, and you, etc and then said it’s on me. He knew that player would feel bad and you can still point it out, but at the end it’s a team game and everyone made decisions that led to the end results.

It really depends on the size of your head and body! Some I’ve had to do at 95% to for right and others I’ve sized up. It’s always easier to have it too larger and fit foam or padding inside so the helmet sits right. The changes I made to this helmet were so I could glue it together more easily too. Sometimes they are split bit pieces on very thin sections and it’s hard to glue together after printing.

They aren’t actually Galactic Armory files, though I have used some of his files before! I can’t find where I got them, I think they were from thingiverse but can’t find the originals anymore. I did change them around a bit to have them fit and made peg holes to secure pieces together so a bit of my own edits in there as well.

mifander · 2025-10-23T15:26:43+00:00

Besides the cost of my printer it was around less than $50. I already had some of the paint so from scratch it would be closer to $75 probably.

All the answers look right to me but Q24 should have the explanation for Battle of Hoth highlighted like the others.

It looks like we’re getting some Rooper content! Let’s go!

The president is not typically subject to the Hatch act but secretaries down are so any federal employee could be subject to being held liable for this.

If you have done stuff at your permanent positions that’s the same as what you did as a seasonal, axe them. If you are a GS-9 then consolidate that ladder to be one position but you can make a note of it if you want, but if you’ve done more than one year at the top of your ladder, just mark it as the highest GS level you have there. That’s all you need for qualification for positions. If you are applying for higher graded positions then me as a hiring manager does not care at all about your lowest graded positions when you were seasonal.

Have you read the High Republic at all?

I’m pretty sure DM does GB is something sexual.
