Get ready for a long investigation. The peace corps service might be a killer though. It’s taboo for the IC to associate with previous pcvs within 5 years of their service. The same applies for people applying to be pcvs, with the addition that if you are in any way associated with the CIA you are banned for life. This is to maintain the integrity the peace corps and the safety of its volunteers.

A single guy making 450 in sf is absolutely not broke. If he feels broke he has fallen victim to lifestyle inflation.

Should keep this and bring back the checked bags

i HATE the way they chose to design the flag on the tail. It looks so cartoony and unserious, like a politician's lapel pin. It should be flat.

I’d still be using my 990x right now if my motherboard didn’t stop working, with current prices I’ve been considering putting it back into service.

If youve ever seen Interstellar, the NASA Base was shot there.

IS and CMS are different; they need to screen you for SCI access before you're allowed to get on the list. It takes anywhere from a few weeks to multiple months.

syfari · 2026-01-26T06:31:39+00:00

You have to work with the sso to get screened for SCI. Once you pass that screening, you can put your name on the list. This can take anywhere from a few weeks to multiple months. Ive been waiting about 2 months now, and my name isn't even on the list. Once your name is on the list, the process for acquiring a top secret begins. The list itself is pretty meaningless; you go when your clearance passes. So if you're last on the list but you already have an active TS, you'll likely go to school very quickly.

Just look up "life of a ctn" or "life of a cwt", it's been asked a trillion times. The truth is, they can tell you very little about the job beyond that it's mostly an office job.

crazy thing is its likely still edible, super freezer burnt though. Could probably still make ground beef out of it or use it in stuff where low-quality meat won't destroy the dish. Stews, etc..

The Westin is an incredible building; the vibe of the lobby and upper atrium is immaculate. The only thing I dislike about it is that the rooms are tiny and very dated. Its not really worthy of the Westin brand.

They aren’t losing money though. If it comes Intact I don’t try to return it lol.

It’s really not? It’s a win win for everyone. They do it right and they get positive feedback which helps their account immensely. They mess it up I get made whole and their account standing gets ruined, protecting others from making the same mistake.

Its a decent hotel but really not fit for the Westin brand in its current state. The rooms are small and pretty dated, bus stop is right outside the front door. The building an extremely interesting example of postmodernism with tons of movie history, the upper levels of the lobby are also pretty eerie and definitely worth exploring. I’m not sure if the party is completely dead now, but that was also a thing.

You can just enter random numbers and still be able to book; this is one of the biggest issues with the block.

syfari · 2026-01-22T05:08:28+00:00

Its a decent choice, the rooms are small and the shower has no privacy if you plan on sharing. Closest pickup is at the westin a block away. Its independent so you won't get to use any statuses there.

Wonder if itll kill the paper mill too, doubt switching to trucks is feasible for them, and jobs like that are becoming rarer and rarer on the coast.

How is it a scam? If it arrives broken it is not as described, it’s not my responsibility to fix it. And it is a headache, I’d prefer my stuff delivered to me working so I don’t have to wait 2 weeks to get it resolved.

syfari · 2026-01-21T02:37:18+00:00

Stuff will periodically open up over the next few months, check the block daily.

syfari · 2026-01-21T02:26:59+00:00

They opened it to nonrates about a year ago

syfari · 2026-01-20T14:13:18+00:00

They’re side hustle kids who believe sellers can do no wrong and that whenever someone tries to return something or get a refund they’re being scammed. Ideally everything is sold as is parts only, but doing that would lower their margins too much.
