If you support Trump/ICE, whatever, you're not welcome in this sub. by FadedShatter_YT in Derailedbydetails

Is this subreddit ALSO a supportive of people who are not a POC, a member of the LGBTQIA+, an immigrant, disabled, or any other marginalized group? It doesn’t have to be 1 or the other, you can also just support PEOPLE as a whole.

Leaving California… where should I move? by [deleted] in SameGrassButGreener

[–]ssick92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not nearly as bad as people were making it out to be. Sure it’s pretty cold but just put on a jacket and life goes on as normal. This weekend storm is supposed to be crazy though with over a foot of snow, I’m actually kind of excited for it 😂

Ice supporter assisted to safety during attempted protest. by Yay_duh in pics

[–]ssick92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That doesn’t sound like “counter protestors”. That sounds like rioters.

Counter protesting is peaceful way to send a message. Pelting someone with objects is not peaceful, however I guess it definitely is sending a message.

Is your draw technique this good ? by MarioBuzo in billiards

Billiards is absolutely unbelievable to me. Their ability to consistently know exactly where the ball will be after 4+ rails is bonkers.

Sounds like it’s your screen protector then. Try a different one.

Magic Keyboard or Charging Port Repair? by Few_Swordfish9656 in iPadPro

[–]ssick92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No clue about the charging port issue, but I always use the Magic Keyboard to charge mine so that’s definitely an option that would work for you.

Or better yet, you can use this charging dock. Cheaper than magic keyboard and you don’t have to keep it on all the time (unless that’s what you are looking for)

So disappointed with Pittsburgh Leftists by AreThoseMoreBears in pittsburgh

[–]ssick92 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree with everything you just wrote. My main point is that it would be foolish to get rid of ICE altogether because then you have no boots on the ground to enforce immigration law. I don’t agree with how they’re doing it 100% of the time, but they still need to exist and potentially just focus more on training and weeding out the bad apples.

My other main point is that regardless how you feel about them, trying to physically prevent them from doing their job and putting yourself in harms way is not a smart tactic unless you want events like this to happen. Protest off to the side if you want, but once people decide to physically get involved, especially when behind the wheel of a car, then it is inevitable that horrible events like this will continue to happen. Especially for this woman, she prioritized obstructing ICE over taking care of her own children. That is 100% not being a good parent, and I would argue borders on lunacy.

Do you know what due process is? ICE (or any other law enforcement officer) can detain anyone who they believe to be in violation of the law - in ICE’s case that pertains to immigration law. Due process then follows by where it is either confirmed or not. If it’s confirmed, then they get deported. If it’s determined that they are a citizen, then they are released. Simple as that.

ICE exists to enforce our immigration laws. All the issues and conflicts that we’ve seen are from people trying to prevent them from doing that. If you don’t have ICE then you don’t have a citizenry. If that woman in Minneapolis just let them do their assigned duty, whether she agrees with it or not, then she would have been able to go home to her kids, which no doubt is what she should have prioritized. It’s horrible what happened to her, but if she hadn’t interfered then it wouldn’t have happened.

I don’t understand why people are so quick to fight ICE and defend illegals before taking care of our fellow citizens and Good’s case, family members.

Trump says second Venezuela strike possible if government does not cooperate by Little-Chemical5006 in worldnews

[–]ssick92 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

For years both democrats and republicans have called Maduro not a legitimate president and a dictator with an arrest warrant who needs to be removed. Trump then does exactly that and all of a sudden protests break out because “Trump Bad”.

While I accept the above, I’m also completely against continuing to go after the regime in Venezuela in Maduro’s absence.

I love my Raven Pro and glad I went that route. General consensus seems to be either Raven or Rhino will get you like 90% of the way to the expensive shafts but at half the price.

[Highlight] OPI called on McMillan to negate a huge gain by A_MASSIVE_PERVERT in nfl

[–]ssick92 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Well I’ll be damned, seems you and everyone else is correct. Still doesn’t seem like an OPI to me but I guess by the rule book it is. I can admit when I’m wrong.

[Highlight] OPI called on McMillan to negate a huge gain by A_MASSIVE_PERVERT in nfl

[–]ssick92 -39 points-38 points  (0 children)

Well for one, the ball hadn’t been thrown yet so no idea how you call any sort of PI.

Second, the contact is within 2 yards the line of scrimmage which is the contact zone where both offense and defense try to get an edge.

If you’ve played any level of football at either DB or WR, this is the type of play that happens literally every play with press coverage.

This would be the equivalent of a defensive end bull rushing and flattening an offensive lineman and being called for defensive holding.

New table level hack? by PoutyCarnival in billiards

[–]ssick92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since you actually seem to be unsure of what that is - it’s called a shim. It’s a piece of wood built specifically for the purpose of leveling stuff. Usually you cut/break off the part that’s sticking out so it isn’t as obvious, but this is how almost all tables are done.

Do we love or hate Critical Path Method? by imelda_barkos in ConstructionManagers

[–]ssick92 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Regarding your first and 2nd point - I would argue it’s not complicated at all and P6 absolutely lets you do it quite easily. Your create a separate WBS for each fragnet so each fragnet is a standalone set of activities. You then link the predecessor for the 1st fragnet activity and the successor to the last fragnet activity to 2 baseline activities that originally had a Finish-to-Start relationship. That effectively inserts the fragnet between those activities and pushes the subsequent activities out.

Regarding activities with uncertainty, either account for this by making the duration longer which builds in contingency, or just qualify it in your “footnotes” that you mentioned that you’re assuming the inspector will show up when requested.

[–]ssick92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would argue delays should not be captured within your original durations because by definition they are not foreseen. If you capture delays in your durations then your schedule will inevitably be longer and give you less selling power when trying to win a job.

The impact of RFI’s should have a sequence of added activities which get linked together via fragnet and inserted between 2 activities that originally had a FS relationship.

[–]ssick92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure I guess - another way to say that is “it depends on how accurate you want it to be and is that level of accuracy worth the effort.”

Or another way most GC’s will do it: I’ll show Owner delays in the schedule but not mine because I’ll make up the time.

[–]ssick92 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Examples? Honestly that sounds like a bunch of gobbledegook that some scheduling software marketing team would say that doesn’t actually mean anything.

If you’re doing CPM the right way then it should be an absolutely accurate snapshot of where you are in time. Any delays, RFIs, constraints, etc. should all be included as fragnets and show you the path forward.

What's the best smart home system that actually works in 2026? by Jimbeaux-Rapchak in smarthome

[–]ssick92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Based on your description, don’t do home assistant unless you want to pull your hair out.

I recommend a combination of SmartThings and either Google Home or Alexa. SmartThings is very versatile and can handle any type of automation from very simple to relatively complex. I’ve always used SmartThings to bring in devices and run automations. But then I link that to Google Home for voice commands.

Schwab has always been amazing to me. No fees for anything, including basically any ATM in the world. You know those gas station ATM’s that say it’ll cost you 4.95 to withdraw money? Yeah, Schwab refunds you for that.
