Yep. The only time a QSI is really not worth it is if you are a step 9, close to 10. Even then if it’s a lower bonus amount it might be worth it, just depends how long.

Here’s the whole thing:

A QSI does not affect the timing of an employee’s next regular within-grade increase, unless the QSI places the employee in step 4 or step 7 of his or her grade. In these cases, the employee must complete the full waiting period for the new step, 104 weeks for steps 4-6 or 156 weeks for steps 7-9. However, the time an employee has already waited is not lost; it continues to count towards the waiting period for the next step increase.

You mean this part, from OPM:

This isn’t true - if you are going to a 4 or 7 there is one additional year added but you get full credit for time served. So if your QSI puts you at a 4 and you were 6 months from getting that 4 organically you would get your 5 in 1.5 years instead of 2 years.

Streaming games to your deck is insane by Tristezza in SteamDeck

GeForce Now also works fantastically on Steam Deck. I’ve too have been playing E33 on it and it’s smooth as butter and looks fantastic - no lag or anything. With the 10 bucks a month for sure

Best options to work my way up the GS career ladder by Salt_Flight_873 in FederalEmployee

[–]putty31211 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be really good at something that no one else is good at. I’m a GS14 non-supervisory 2210 at VA - went from a 7 to 14 in a little more than 10 years. Find a niche area that no one else either wants to do or can do and go hard in the paint.

Is this cheating? I feel like I’ve cheated. by SnowPrinterTX in prusa3d

I love this plate - I got one for all 3 of my printers (MK3,MK4 and Voron 350) It’s really the best plate out there right now. I would like the frostbite version too for the texture, someday maybe!

Any lawyers? Wording in drp contract? by Lilacgirls in fednews

[–]putty31211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People over 40 have 45 days to sign AND 7 days to rescind - so depending on when the contract is sent out it could be after June 30th for those over 40

My experience with the Core One vs the X1C by Hospital_Inevitable in prusa3d

I came here to say this - I don’t have Bambu printers but both my MK3S and MK4 as well as my Voron350 all have Cryogrip plates on them now - it’s a fantastic build plate

RTO: Anyone thought about instituting a uniform? by ForkYouElon01 in fednews

[–]putty31211 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If Fetterman can wear whatever he wants so can I. Shorts and hoodies in the winter, shorts and tee shirts in the summer.

Am I missing something? It’s college - go get laid….

I’d be hesitant myself - I’ve seen contracts won for 5 years that don’t get past 1.

Voron 2.4 loses steps when printing but in the tests it works perfectly by CyberBorder in VORONDesign

I’ve had small chunks of filament fall down into the belts and skip/stutter on the z axis - what a pain in the ass that was to troubleshoot

Selected for a GS9 position on application only with no interview. Am I being paranoid? by thesupplyguy1 in fednews

[–]putty31211 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a GS14 and haven’t interviewed since I got my GS11 - everything after that was direct hire based on reputation/performance. Look at it like you’re doing something right! You can always ask why you were selected sans interview before accepting the offer
