George when they go to ask him if he was involved.  

I mean, they still could've made him taller though. Maybe some extra long feet to balance it out. Idk

I think it depends on department, honestly. Some need the bodies so their standards are shit and some are in nice areas with a big budget and less crime so they up their standards.

He's gotta make a profit.

That's true, and I 100% agree (not the person you were responding to) but exercise, even if it's just a walk, is good for your heart and tends to curb appetite temporarily. There's definitely something to be said for the amount of people who fix their diet and go to the gym that end up losing weight.

Creatine is a weird one like that. I'm usually on it year round but went off it while doing some traveling and when I went back on it, I had the same issues. Then my stomach a week later was like "Actually, I remember this stuff, I guess it's fine now."

It will help a lot. I work FINCEN (Financial Crimes) as an investigator (non-1811) but doing internships with the DEA had me getting constant interviews after college along with many investigators and agents (that I knew from work) trying to get me to apply at their agencies.

It doesn't have to be with some govt agency either, just show that you have something that sets you apart. I'm not gonna speak on the 1811 side of things but if you do just a part time internship so that your GPA isn't all whacked, that's probably fine too. I did 0.8 time and was sleeping 4 hours a night. GPA was fine but I'd recommend doing less than that for sanity reasons.

1) the only jobs that want transcripts are government jobs, and I don't think anyone looks at the timeline.

Government looks at time-line. At least at OCC they did for me and I had to explain it. I think my 'saving grace' was transferring in a little more than half my credits and the transfers being my mandatory accounting and financial classes. I didn't accelerate that much either. Maybe 1.5x normal speed.

That being said, it shouldn't dissuade anyone from applying to government, nor does every agency care from what I hear.

But I just want to make it clear that if somebody finishes a full degree in, say, a year, there's a decent chance that they're going to ask about it and how / why you think you've retained the information, depending on the job.

I'm on mobile so forgive me for not linking the study as it's in my computer bookmarks.

Some study, or possibly meta analysis, showed that lifting with creatine makes fat loss faster. How much faster? Idk. But I think the idea that you can squeeze out extra reps and / or weight is what ends up helping in the end.

Yeah, I was checking these out because I loved them when I was younger. I'd like to know too.

I finally make enough money to where I could afford a "nice" car in the $65k range but don't actually want to spend that much on something. I went and looked at all the older models I used to want and the cc is one of them.

I'll end up getting a CPO Toyota instead probably but it's fun thought experiment to know what it costs to maintain cars like the CC!

Haha

I actually finally see them back in stock at somewhat reasonable prices but I move states next Sunday so hopefully in a months time (or however long a transferred drivers license takes) they have them still!

Happy to hear that you love yours.

Please stop. My urge for an R8 is already too high.

Because one day they'll get sued for all the crazies they allow to congregate that end up doing wild shit.

Or not since that would set a precedent for all websites.

Prob because of bad PR really.

I'm a regulator / examiner for OCC. It's most likely that they are dealing with, or are worried about, rate chasers leaving. When people leave, the bank's are stuck getting money from the fed or fhlb or brokered deposits. They have to fund loan commitments they made. Those fed borrowing rates all all very high so they're trying to keep cash in because it won't hurt them as bad.

Community banks are cool though so I keep my money sitting where it is. Big banks aren't my cup of tea so I wouldn't mind personally rate chasing if that's where my money was parked.

You'll be fine lol. It's not that big of a deal. There are some high fat, negligent carb, zero gram sugar yogurts out there though. Never see them anywhere except the grocery store though

Google's cybersecurity, especially concerning their operating system, is top notch.

Partly because they're obsessed with security and partly because they want to sell your data and not let anyone else have it for free I'm sure.

Their zero trust model, Mandiant, virus total, etc. are all stellar. But they also sell your data so

Oof, I thought I had it bad. We have some people get onto the highway in Chicago at a good 45mph while traffic is going 70 minimum and many times 85+. Granted, we have a lot of short on-ramps.

People stopping would make me legitimately avoid the highway.

Damn. I was looking at those exact tires / size for when I upgrade to a 5th Gen but that sucks to hear. My 4th Gen v8 gives me 16ish on the highway some days and 20 on other days. I swear it depends on the weather.

Though that's with me doing the math myself so maybe I'm mixed up. My in-car mpg thing says 18 like always (almost always on the highway).

What if he's a mentally unwell bot?

Wrong again. They were Vegan extremists.

Transit vans are bomb too. I think they look a little better than minivans.

I definitely don't make enough for this but I'm slowly making more and more on a career track and tbh, I don't know if I'd ever want to buy a new car with depreciation and whatnot.

But I feel you. It'd be cool to own one of the first years of a new Gen

I agree with you. I'm at work so want to look into this more but I'm happy you commented this.

We may both be wrong and my experience is anecdotal which really means dick in the grand scheme of things but for 13 years I drove from the west burbs into the Chicago loop and have seen plenty of crashes (real-time and aftermath).

The amount of 4runners I saw that were rear ended and / or hit in the side that absolutely destroyed the other vehicle are literally one of the reasons I got one. Mostly for reliability though + don't drive into the city anymore but take the train so it's not too big to drive.

But, like I said, anecdotal and not science based on my side of things.

Edit: Here's what chatgpt said, whatever that's worth.

Yes, in general, heavier vehicles fare better in crashes. So:Physics and Collision Dynamics Momentum and Kinetic Energy: Heavier vehicles have more momentum (mass x speed). In the event of an accident, this means that a heavier vehicle is more resistant to changes in motion. Kinetic energy (which determines the impact force) depends on both mass and velocity. So a heavier vehicle has significantly more kinetic energy to dissipate.Force distribution: When two vehicles collide, the forces change. Heavier vehicles tend to push lighter vehicles backwards, meaning occupants of a heavier vehicle experience less sudden deceleration and therefore less force.

Yeah, I understand what OP was trying to do, but opening a new card with 0% interest is the way (albeit, with a slight decrease in credit possibly due to hard check - though not always and it fixes itself fairly quick).

Now that I've rebuilt my credit after being a dumbass in college years ago, I can't stop getting Capital One, USAA, Wells Fargo, etc, emails about 0% deals. Granted, it's not always the case but so far it has worked out fine for big purchases and it's helpful when you want to buy something big and pay for it over 12 or 15 months so you can stay a little more liquid.

My advice once you get the 0% offers though is to actually wait until you want to make that big purchase and, obviously, can afford it, otherwise you'll just have a non-used 0% card sitting around like I did one time. Whoops.
