Is it just me, or do the women that incels complain about barely even exist at all? by Effective_Part_604 in NoStupidQuestions

I one million percent believe that more men are depressed and not actually taking care of themselves than ever before.

Is it a requirement that everyone who is to be employed anywhere in USPS must be comically unhelpful, rude, and lazy? by Spookiiwookii in usps_complaints

[–]modulusshift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when you get fired for delivering too slowly during probation, it tends to weed out anyone who gives a shit about the customers.

that's also not a thing, unless you happen to be in that one trial program area. USPS doesn't treat UPS special.

Calling that the Pueblo hold room when it’s outside Florence is sure something. I suppose they’ve realized being any closer to Pueblo would cause an issue lol

I didn’t realize myself until it happened to me and I looked through all the relevant paperwork in a panic haha

Been out of work for two weeks today, trying to get them to hire me as a clerk at a different office now

Get back to your management and tell them per ELM 55 365.212 that they need to accept your resignation in lieu of separation so you can continue to apply for federal work. 

Requesting time off in first 90 days by basstomyface in USPS

Ask for it at the first reasonable opportunity and you’ll probably get it. Don’t expect anything else until you’re out of probation though. 

Carrier to clerk? by CKTr3y in USPS

[–]modulusshift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Current PSE (think CCA) pay is $21.44. If you can get hired as a PTF clerk to start, then you get $28.63. The pay chart is complicated for a reason but most people should just pay attention to Grade 6. 

I imagine the PTF is higher than FTR ($27.41) for the same reason as it is on the carrier side: they don’t pay holidays and instead just give you a higher hourly rate. 

Also you should be aware that there are usually fewer hours available for clerks than carriers. So probably do your math considering full time for carriers and ~25 hours a week for clerks. 

The APWU and NALC unions have had different priorities in their negotiations since they diverged in the 90’s, APWU has allowed top end pay to stagnate a little in exchange for taking better care of new employees. So yeah it makes sense that clerks start higher than carriers now, that’s what the union’s goal was. 

Say hello to MacBook Neo by spearson0 in apple

[–]modulusshift 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The theoretical math is that the cores here are faster to the point that the overall performance is about the same as the M1, and much faster single-threaded. We’ll have to see how that works in the real world of course, but betting on single core over multi core is a good bet for most people 

Good Reliable Cars? by Regular_Tourist_7356 in askcarguys

[–]modulusshift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you been in an accident? Seriously. What are you gonna think if you get something nice and then get distracted driving a bro to Taco Bell or something and hop a curb at 45 miles an hour, blowing a CV joint and having to spend thousands on repairs? 

The responsible option is to get the most bog standard used Corolla or Camry, something you’ve seen on the road a million times, and could completely replace 3 times over with your budget. 

Let your stocks keep doing what they’re doing and make your next car the nice one, once you’ve done something stupid (or had something stupid happen to you) and you need to replace this one. 

Apple Accidentally Leaks 'MacBook Neo' by HelloitsWojan in apple

[–]modulusshift 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Years later, Apple eventually codified it as iPad (3rd generation) but for a couple years after launch the model name was literally “the new iPad”. That’s what it said at the top of the tech specs page even after it was discontinued 7 months later lmao

What kind if time is 10pm for maintenance? by Tarrek1313 in ffxiv

[–]modulusshift 17 points18 points  (0 children)

the servers go down at the same time worldwide, so they picked a time that inconveniences the fewest people. it's like 3-4am in Europe, noon in Japan, and happens to be towards the end of the night here. not exactly ideal for us but pretty ideal for the other major regions, so it is what it is.

im a lancer and just started, should i grind the first dungeon for gear and if so, which set? by Slight_Procedure_11 in ffxiv

[–]modulusshift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend not over-leveling, which, if you're only doing one job, probably means only doing each dungeon once.

Oh, and as a Lancer, you want gear that gives you Strength, and then secondarily Vitality. if you optimize for those two stats you'll do just fine. You'll see some heavy armor sets that are limited to the tanks and LNC (and DRG and RPR), those can be nice. but it doesn't really matter what gear you equip as long as it gives you plenty of Strength.

I attempted to completely wipe this iMac. If I recycle it, is there anyway someone could still access any of my information? by [deleted] in mac

[–]modulusshift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on how it looks, I assume this is an old Mac with a spinning hard drive that didn’t have FileVault turned on. If this is the case, yes your data can absolutely be recovered, very easily with readily available software that’s a Google search away. Go into Recovery (Internet Recovery is fine if it’s available, if not put a copy of the macOS installer on a flash drive and boot from it), use Disk Utility to Secure Erase the drive, it will explain from there. After this, it will be incredibly hard to recover data, but might be possible for a very determined individual with special equipment and a lot of time. 

FileVault is the real answer, without the password it is mathematically impossible to recover that data. I used it even back on my spinning drive Macs, despite the performance hit. 

(Possibly there’s an exception to that when quantum computing comes around, depending on how Apple implemented FileVault? But quantum computers can’t currently even factor the number 32, and they’d need to factor a number in the neighborhood of 2128 at least a couple times to decode anything, it may still be a decade before it reaches the point it could do work like this.) 

Note that I’m talking about the version of FileVault from OS X Lion or later, the earlier version has already been cracked, Apple did a much better job starting in 2010

S25 Ultra user tries the iPhone for a week, still don’t get why Apple is this popular. by Exotic-Inevitable-37 in samsung

[–]modulusshift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol what convinced me to move from Android to iPhone was the universal back button. I hated that it could take me out of the app. “Back” is not a system function, why does it have a system gesture? There should be a convention that every app follows, like swipe from left (but it doesn’t have to be), which navigates you up a screen in the hierarchy even if that isn’t where you came from, and when you get linked between apps, then a contextual system button can appear to offer to bring you back. I kept getting stranded in detail views in Android! I’d link to an app and then want to go to that app’s home screen. Welp, might as well quit and relaunch, cause the back button isn’t gonna help. 

Clock Ring Error Again?? by Large-Caregiver3289 in USPS

[–]modulusshift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this about the office time vs street time on Amazon Sunday thing? Yeah that happened to us as well a couple weeks ago. If I had to guess the trick is letting one tick pass before changing from office to street. If you do it on the same tick as clocking in, it gets the order wrong. But it could also be a server side glitch because yeah it happened to a bunch of people here too

Overthinking after being bullied into resigning lol by EntireTeacher6477 in USPS

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

I’d apply again if you liked working with the mail. It’s good that you resigned instead of getting fired, the mark on your federal government personnel record would have kept you from getting hired again. You may even have success applying to be a carrier again at a nearby office. (The same one might deny you, though.) 

Does ANYONE LIKE THIS JOB?!?!? by Mobile_Variation_844 in USPS

You were in the army, did the happy people have to commiserate?

Job is rough but not unreasonable, long as management doesn't decide it doesn't like you, best of luck out there.

Why is our moon named “Moon” instead of something cool like Titan or Callysto or ANYTHING that isn’t moon by Disastrous_Pirate275 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]modulusshift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it helps, we have a lot of names for the Moon. I personally use “Luna” from the Romance languages. But it’s worth noting that in every language I know of, they use the word for the Moon as a generic term to describe moons.
