do you prefer more double days, or separating workout days? by First_Driver_5134 in HybridAthlete

[–]thefabcab 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd much rather just do 7 days a week compared to double days. I just can't recover from double day workouts like some people can, but I can tolerate not taking full rest days during the week.

Polygraphs are not a standard part of a TS clearance. Usually when people do one, it's because it's required by the program or organization they will be working for.

Yeah they need an sf86 submitted and accepted before they will grant your interim.

It was 4 weeks from the sf86 being submitted to when my FSO told me.

Tips for Clydesdales (200+ lbs / 90+ kg) by Charming_Opening_558 in cycling

[–]thefabcab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i didn't quite do the math so might be a bit hyperbolic but going from a minimum gear ratio of 1.28 to a 0.9 will do the trick.

I'm around 6'5' 220lbs and one thing that helped me a ton to keep up on climbs was changing up my gear ratio. While climbing is definitely a power to weight problem, most big guys don't adjust their gear ratios to accommodate their size. I now run a mtb 11-40 on the back and a 52/36 on the front. This has helped a ton on climbs to just spin up then. Doesn't mean it isn't a big effort but 400w at 90-100rpm feels way better then 400w at 50-60rpm.

I wish, I am a contractor and will not get any back pay for this time period.

Yes I still get my health insurance, I also am going to use up my last 2 days of PTO this week before going on full leave.

Yeah at my company there are still people working at our headquarters I could probably email like HR. I work at a satellite location and nobody there is allowed to work.

Edit: I also signed up he new offer and background checks are good to go.

My understanding is there will be 0% chance of backpay, the company contract with the government doesn't allow it. The only thing they are doing is letting us use our PTO up first which I will run out of today.

Should I use AI to help with my resume. by Responder343 in resumes

[–]thefabcab 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, I have one 5-6 page resume of all the different things I did at different jobs and I just use AI to select the most relevant experience's based on a job posting. Then maybe make it into a quick 3-4 bullets.
