Thanks...
  • I recently placed an order with Dell, but kept getting messages that they couldn't process it. After spending five hours on the phone with multiple customer support people, they finally told me it was because my billing address was different than my shipping address, and that I wasn't allowed to do that.

  • What's also scary is how irresponsible people are being with this technology.

    I had someone tell me they routinely take naps on their drive into work using lane assist and adaptive cruise control! I started laughing but they didn't laugh back...

  • People of Lemmy who have either "reinvented themselves" or gone through a mid/quarter-life crisis, where did you start off and where did you end up?
  • Navy recently raised their enlistment age cap to 42. They're currently the only service to do so, that I know of.

    Edit: As far as I know, the enlistment age cap for most other services is 39, and the officer candidacy age cap is 35. There's variations and waivers though, depending on your situation.

  • Yes, but I’m hoping to limit the time away from my family to 30 weeks.

    I’m joining the Navy Reserves, which is a bit more flexible than joining the Navy. My wife and I currently work on a Navy base as civilians, so I hope to do most of my drills and duties there, and still be home for dinner every night. We know of a couple people in similar situations that do this already.

    Boot camp is 10 weeks long. Tech school, which needs to be done immediately after boot camp, is something like 15 - 20 weeks, depending on your job. With any luck, this 30-week period is the longest that I will be away from my family. It will suck, but everyone has been very supportive.

    Once I get back, the goal is to find a full-time duty close to home so that I can start maxing out the GI Bill. I’m told I need 3 years equivalent of active duty to Max it out. After that, I may drop back down to one weekend a month, two weeks a year.

  • Where do you go on Lemmy for reliable news and politics?
  • I learned on Reddit not to trust any world news or political news posts. I was tricked a couple of times by fake posts. I still browse the posts, but I take everything I read with a grain of salt.

    I use news apps for my news.

  • You could say I am a bit of a copy/paste expert..
  • I realize my post sounds like I'm against students typing out commands, but I'm not. I'm against them mindlessly typing out commands they find on the internet without taking time to understand what the commands actually do. I encourage them to be intentional with their commands and really understand them.
