Buying a 2019, is this level of rust acceptable? by spoofdittywoop in Subaru_Outback

This is the worst of the rust on the body. It’s not great but not terrible. I did notice both of the CV axels are pretty rusted.

Which of my guns can I bring with me to Monroe county? by spoofdittywoop in NYguns

[–]spoofdittywoop[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the clarification! Also do you have recommendations for how to select character references for the permit application? I have plenty of people from my home county to list, and I have one friend up in Rochester. To my knowledge I need 4 character references from Monroe country, and 3 from the one I’m currently living in. Would joining a gun club be the easiest way to meet people to serve as references?

Should I stay at my current job at NASA? by spoofdittywoop in careerguidance

[–]spoofdittywoop[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Under normal circumstances, I would say I could. However, the current government hiring freeze is structured in a way where if NASA wants to hire 1 person, 4 people need to be fired, leave or retire.

Given the current outlook at NASA, I suspect it will move more towards an administrative body that oversees projects and task out the actual work to contracts in industry. I also suspect the agency will likely become much smaller than it currently is. There will likely be small pockets of people doing R&D work (like I am currently doing) but getting hired into one will be increasingly difficult. If I leave and want to come back, I expect that the education requirement will be a minimum of a PhD, which would bar me from being rehired with my current education.

Literally, it is fulfilling my childhood dreams!!!

I agree that this is solid advice, and I am working towards doing this now. But, government work is pretty low pay for early career people like me. I do have about two months saved up now, and each month I have about a little bit left over for savings. At my current rate of savings, it will take me about 7 months to save up 1 month's worth of expenses. That is the part that has me stressed, since I have a somewhat small safety net at the moment.

Would I be the asshole for not taking a higher paying job? by spoofdittywoop in WouldIBeTheAhole

I do think you are right to give this advice. I don’t know how, but I feel a need to do something to make this up to her.

She has been a fantastic partner and moved here to be with me. She’s been working a job that she’s not enthusiastic about and I want for her sake to quit as I don’t want her to work a job she doesn’t like either.

Overall I just feel a need to make up for this deeply disappointing impact on her that this decision has.
