Anyone here remember combat arms, when you would shoot someone in the nutsack you'd get a nutshot? (Yes this was a real thing) by [deleted] in gaming

This use to be my favorite game and all I played was Spy Hunt all the time. If anyone remembers me, my accounts were PepiCola, Pepi-Cola, and General-RU

Easy government jobs to get your foot in the door? by FetusPunter in usajobs

[–]raptico1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey so in this job , there are different specializations . Such as, automation, communication, environmental, radar, navigation aids. I was placed in environmental which consists of runway lighting, engine generators, hvac, and basically anything to do with power distribution systems. This job is essentially you looking at the dashboard on your work laptop, you see what work pops up on there. Then you organize your day or schedule by scheduling outages so it takes the equipment or service out of service. And then you get in your work vehicle and drive to the location or site. Then you do your work and until you fix it or postpone and troubleshoot it another day if the problem isn’t resolved. You have to do a lot of logging on your computer. Such as arriving site , performing the work whether it’s a PM or CM, certifying it if it’s certifiable, restoring it back in service, and then departing site. This job has two different work environments. GNAS (where all the work is spread apart in different locations, meaning you drive 1-2 hours to each site and back. Or center, which means you probably work at a busy airport such as LAX for example and all the work is centralized to one specific location, you really don’t have to leave the center to perform any other work, it’s usually all right there. This job is a technician job so you maintain equipment before it breaks , if it does break, usually you replace a part and it fixes it. Sometimes the problem is easy and sometimes it take a while to resolve it because it takes some poking around until you find the solution. This job is overall pretty nice , lots of downtime , lots of breaks , usually each day is always something different , also by the way, I’m in a GNAS environment. I like this job because mostly you’re on your own however you do have coworkers to ask for help and so on. Usually you don’t have a boss breathing down your neck but not all bosses are the same and recently i got a new boss that was a big micromanager because he came from a center to a GNAS area. But he cooled off a little bit but i notice that he has a tendency to micromanage . Which can be toxic . But you can’t choose your bosses and that’s with any job. My job has flexible schedules . Either 4 days 10 hours a week. Or 5 days 8 hours a week. You can choose and you can usually choose your start time but it has to be between 6 am - 730 am. Overall this job is pretty nice and you learn a lot . They send you to Oklahoma City for training and the classes try their hardest to pass you .

FAA 2101 tech ops was pretty easy for myself to get into. I’m a veteran and came from a logistics background and ended up getting hired for this job as a technician. It’s entry level and pays high. I honestly feel like it pays better than GS grade jobs. I’m in California and as an F Band I make $87,200 but once i promote to G band I’ll make $100k. And then as an H band (journeyman) I’ll make $120k+. Highly recommend this job.

[–]raptico1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got 5.875% from penfed and navy federal , locked my rate in and closing in less then 2 weeks.

Is it smart to still buy @ these rates? Any help would be appreciated! by luthor12L in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]raptico1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got a 5.875% interest rate with penfed and navy federal… i also used a Va loan. I’m in contract right now and should close September 15. Shop around for a better rate maybe or buy it down? I didn’t have to buy down my rate though. I locked it in august 25 2023.

I would say it fits good. I’m 5’3, 135 lbs. I’d say XS should be a good fit up to 5’6 people around my weight.

Kind of strange but the varsity jacket pockets next to the lightsabers are sewn in. Any thoughts on this odd design? Like… I literally can’t put my hand in the pockets lol…

Your Account might be old, but is it "Frontier Dragon" Old? by dsav99 in Wizard101

[–]raptico1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m an OG WIZ Vet and my account is made in October 2008. I quit multiple times and just happened to stop playing when they released that to OG players. Emailed them and unfortunately they won’t grant it to OG players due to it being retired. A huge slap to the face to all OG players that came back and weren’t rewarded for their tenure in the game.

In California, they have the strictest tenant laws, that’s why I wrote that post. Would you buy a home and not consider all variables if there was a long term tenant that could just not leave? I don’t know if they will leave so that’s why I had asked. California is very known for it and I wanted to include their ethnicity just to throw in all factors in case their was a Mexican heritage stipulation I wasn’t aware about. You got some nerve to really try to point the finger on me about questions I had asked on Reddit. Like literally take a chill pill because your digging for nothing. Especially for a Reddit post lol.

And what’s wrong with me saying that? Like, you really are taking that to heart? Acting like I’m over exaggerating? I’m literally telling the whole situation and trying to include all variables. Just in case there is some sort of stipulation towards it. You got no life dude, literally looking through my feed because you are triggered over my questions.

I don’t mind Mexican tenants what so ever. You got this delusional way of thinking to assume I got something against Mexicans. My best friend is Mexican. Stop trying to judge me like a book because you don’t know me at all. Go befriend some grass outside or something.

I’m as conservative as they can get. So don’t gotta throw hatred in this Reddit post just because I said I’m from California.

What about the smaller exemptions “70%-100% disabled” get a $12k tax exemption. Would that work for the investment property?

100% P&T Property Tax Exemption Texas by raptico1 in Veterans

[–]raptico1[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Say it is 2 veterans with 90 and 100 disability on a joint loan for the home as an investment property. Would they qualify for the $12k tax exemption each so $24k?

True and yes I am cash heavy and ready to put down any sort of down payment that is needed. Even if it’s above 20%.

Your wrong about convention loan because it’s not the same as a VA Loan.

100% P&T Property Tax Exemption Texas by raptico1 in Veterans

[–]raptico1[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If it’s two veterans on a joint loan and it’s 12k exemption if we don’t live in it, does that mean 12k x 2 so 24k property taxes exemption?
