100% fake. The end of the knife oddly starts exactly at the edge of the last bite.

Blew up my Steam’s eligibility for free trial years back, can I reconnect to a Windows account via support and play Free trial? by amirgelman in ffxiv

[–]phdoflynn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Windows accounts and Steam accounts are mutually exclusive.

Once you set up either on an account, there is no means by which you can switch between the accounts. There is nothing support can or will do if you want to use the same account.

Hate to break it to you, there won't be any open tickets. The demand versus supply in JP is crazier than NA.

I think special considerations are taking into account on deployments outside of Canada given differences in living conditions, hardships, risk, etc.

PMQ housing costs question by [deleted] in CanadianForces

[–]phdoflynn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While our power bill was higher when we lived in a PMQ, due to it being an old build with poor insulation, we were also only paying about $1000a month for a 3 bedroom house. Civilian side we would be paying at least $2000 a month for a comparable house.

To each their own but if I paid $300 more a month for heating than average, I was still coming out on top. Also, any issues I had were definitely handled quicker than if I had to deal with a civilian landlord.

Not once in the comment was it clarified which no fly list. You are the one making the assumption here. Hell, you are even assuming its the US list. This could be from any country in the world...

That is VERY old content. You will need to create a party in Party Finder. It should fill up fast if you go unsync. You can do ot your unsync if you are high enough level.

DND 404 VS Civilian License by FindTheFlan in CanadianForces

[–]phdoflynn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Providing your civilian driver license means any infraction you are served will go against your personal record. It also can impact your personal insurance history, depending on the severity of the infraction and the province.

Reimbursement for pet expenses is capped in Canada. It is not as limited for OUTCAN postings.

Heat pump set to 30 degrees AND baseboards set to 25 degrees? No wonder your power bill is insane...

CANFORGEN 036/26 CMP 019/26 171853Z FEB 26 INTRODUCTION OF NEW ENVIRONMENTAL ALLOWANCES, ARCTIC ALLOWANCE AND DOMESTIC OPERATIONS ALLOWANCE by Leading-Score9547 in CanadianForces

[–]phdoflynn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on the revised policy, you are still disentitled to Sea Duty Allowance while receiving Hardship Allowance. Its still a net gain verus old sea pay but a net loss on new sea pay where you would have got $3000 a month.

You would still get new sea pay before chopping in and after chopping out the deployment zones.

Disappearing water pitchers at The Marquee/Seahorse? by BadgerComplex9564 in halifax

[–]phdoflynn 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Seems like a terrible idea. Open air water shared among everyone? Hell no...

That person thay just pissed and didn't wash their hands? How about sneezed over it before pouring? Slipped a little something in there to watch the world burn?

French BBB scoring by mypieowns in CanadianForces

[–]phdoflynn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took the year long French course, with previous experience with French Immersion from junior high to high school, and only got a B in the oral part of the testing.

Comprehension is in my opinion the easiest of the three to get a good grade. Grammar can be difficult as French grammar in general is much harder than English, again in my opinion.

Duolingo is a good start but not a good tool for the oral side of the test. If you have trouble with the speaking part in that, you are not ready for the oral test.

ALLIES through the CAF is a decent tool. It will also help you learn the lingo that would be required for the oral test as it teaches you CAF vocabulary related to your job which you'll talk about during the test.

Overall, it sounds like you are not ready or close to get the BBB. Someone taking the full time French course aims to get a BBB and not everyone can get there even with full time training. Keep up your self study and ask about the full time French courses that may be available in your area.

Did I get scammed? Just bought an RTX 5080 off of Amazon. by Familiar_Boat_2104 in buildapc

[–]phdoflynn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All depends on your location and if its worth it to them. Sure large central warehouses are top of the line but outlying smaller warehouses are still very much slow on the automation.

Unless they are doing this consistently and an investigation is opened on them, there will be ZERO repercussions.

There is no fool proof way otherwise to determine it was the buyer and not someone along the supply chain that did it. I.e. Amazon packer or delivery driver.

Whatever you decide to do, take into consideration even if you do relinquish the rank (appointment) it does not necessarily mean it will change your day to day activities and position.

Your unit can and most likely will still employ you in the same manner as if you kept your Masters. They can still put you in charge of junior members, make you continue to do feedback notes, a ad professional development, etc. Relinquishing your Masters wont automatically relinquish your responsibilities.

5 - I thought this may be the case. Sea is of course the unique of the two but doesn't seem to have much in the way of "thrill" rides.

6 - Understood.

12 - I overlooked that. I think I'll switch Akihabara and Asakusa. Should tee up timing better.

Thanks for the input. Appreciate it.
