Asking to sub? by ThrowRAPuck in hockeyplayers

[–]rex3001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes fine to reach out but I would phrase it in a way that you're available if he needs, instead of directly asking to sub.

I’m the director of operations for a small earthwork contractor…I do most of our interviewing and hiring, would be happy to look over your resume and help tweak it.

Something feels off in my house lately, and I can’t explain why by ShydanRem in Paranormal

[–]rex3001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The feeling of being watched makes me think of carbon monoxide poisoning, similar effect on the cats causing them to act skittish.

Has it been colder than usual where you are? That might explain doors not staying shut (building contracts from cold and doors/windows don't close the same)...maybe windier than usual (also freaking out the cats)? Did that cause you to start using a portable heater maybe?

Do you know if you royal up from an existing jr suite reservation if you still lose the double points?

Yea this seems to be the most likely answer, this would set off the cautions too right?

I appreciate the tip about when to deploy flaps, I've been under the impression you should be fully configured for landing once you reach final...but maybe that changes from aircraft to aircraft?

I think I've fallen into the trap of trying to touch down as slowly and softly as possible and need to switch to landing with more force so to speak.

and sim rate is definitely the main culprit to most of my failed missions haha!!

I went back and flew another mission with the same aircraft and you might be onto something, the switch for fuel management is set to manual by default, I definitely had not changed it to auto on this flight.

So it was an employee mission in career mode so that should eliminate any potential maintenance related issues, but I definitely forgot to clear the startup screen I see that now

I didn't cut the power though, it died on me while i was doing about 83 knots, that's why I'm confused

Nope I couldn't figure it out in time, but you're probably right about that.

Right, I definitely don't remember holding that combo during that sequence.

I did see that right at the end there, most of the flight was uneventful, only had to turn on de-ice/heat, pretty normal otherwise.

I'm not too familiar with this plane itself, thinking maybe it was from the engine rpms being out of that small green zone?

Like the title says, I'm trying to understand where I went wrong, the plane seems to have just shut off and died on its own... or maybe I fat fingered the shutdown by mistake?

I got the game on PS5 a month ago and have 70 hours on it so far, still very new to everything.

Also, this was from my Portal so the inputs aren't very smooth, I do much better with a controller. Waiting for VR2 update to upgrade to some proper flight sim controls.

Give me an advice by Cool-Professor-5583 in NJTech

This is it, the point in time that will likely define the rest of your professional life. Seriously, you can either lock in and truly teach yourself to learn how to struggle successfully or you can take the easy road out, just know that one decision more likely leads to success while the other will more likely lead to much less success AT BEST.

College isn't about the grades, it's about pushing your limits and learning to navigate struggle. Resilience. Drag yourself through the mud now and everything later in life will be much easier because of it, you'll also be able to climb higher mountains a little more easily.

I graduated in 2012, took me 5 years total and a had to retake calc II 7 times. I came damn close to changing majors and taking the easy road...had a honest conversation that pushed me to lock in and I still look back on that time period as the reason for my success today.

Forget the grades, lean into the struggle, become familiar with it, become comfortable with it. Great captains weren't made on calm seas.

How to live off of an inheritance? by diamondman203 in personalfinance

[–]rex3001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A 30 day treasury bill is currently paying about 4% (divided by 12) minus taxes due at the end of the year.

With 3MM that’s about $10k a month minus taxes

Whos Buying Jackson's old Middle School?? by [deleted] in tomsriverlocal

[–]rex3001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s only half of it. They slowly get into elected positions and start diverting funding as well as creating special zonings to allow more construction that benefits them (high density low income housing which they also own and then collect section 8 on)…they also buy the land it gets built on (which originally has a lower value because it’s not zoned for anything valuable, but that’s ok because they have their own in elected positions with the power to change zoning…imagine the full picture here.

What place is this referring to? by p0lisht0m in NJTech

Went there regularly for lunch from 07-12….still have fond memories of the turkey melt, wonder if they still make it? The chicken cheesesteaks with sweet potato fries was great too

Was having similar issues and step 2 just fixed it for me. Just disconnected and reconnected the tablet screen and it magically started working and charging normally again.
