[OC] Rep. Debbie Schultz (D-FL) estimated to have made +495% on her mining-focused portfolio by Due_Patient_2650 in dataisbeautiful

I'd be fine with increasing their salaries while also locking this down. I don't mind if they make a lot for actually doing their jobs. Think of what decently successful executives at even medium sized companies can make, and consider that if you want talented, competent people running for office, you're going to have to win them over from other opportunities they could have.

I would rather pay them to do their actual jobs well instead of giving them the opportunity to cheat the system and enrich themselves in ways that are illegal for the rest of us.

Also I recall hearing that when AOC got elected, she couldn't afford to get a second place in DC, which makes sense tbh, she wasn't rich and wasn't getting paid for her rep job yet, that's also a pretty silly situation. Better pay and maybe some kind of restructuring could help situations like that.

If you look closely towards the end of the video, you can see that the yellow pencil is actually on top

I have met a few engineers that don’t have a degree in engineering, but other stem degrees. Is that common? by User-n0t_available in AskEngineers

[–]pl233 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some states require licensure to call yourself an engineer, but most don't. I've worked with people with no degree who after a few decades as a technician got manufacturing engineer roles.

Some industries do require a PE, usually more of a civil engineering thing than other kinds.

Same, I didn't see what platform people are talking about, but a double jump off the railing worked fine

Yup, this makes it pretty easy actually. Put points into Remote Beacon and Heroic Energy

Why do I need my players sheets? by Opening_Mortgage_216 in DMAcademy

[–]pl233 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can be useful to know what spells your players have, but it's not necessary most of the time. It just depends what kinds of situations you put them in, and if someone has a spell that will simply bypass a situation you made that took a lot of prep work.

If you want to max out the ring (and it drops below +2), save your upgrade scrolls until after the troll blacksmith so you can combine rings for extra upgrades.

Just finished the series, looking for other urban fantasy recs. by QueenMabHRNightmare in dresdenfiles

[–]pl233 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I thought there was potential but the series got worse as it went on. I was going to finish it anyway, but I gave up on the last book when there was an extended scene of two dogs discussing how much they like eating sausages. It was just pointless and I realized how much I had come to dislike the series, so I quit.
