It hasn't posted to FPDS yet: https://www.fpds.gov/ezsearch/fpdsportal?q=PIID%3A%2270RCSJ2... Assuming this is the correct contract, which it appears to be, it had an option period starting today through March of n

You butter bread before it’s toasted? My mind is honestly blown (as I move to kitchen to try this).

I disagree - no one is calling large scale gov contractors such as Northrop Grumman, GDIT, CGI, CACI, many more etc. consultants - yet a lot of the IT work they do overlaps with the consultancies. “Contractors” has become the more common te

This is a common sentiment..and was quite prevalent especially in the whole ‘abolish ICE’ movement. But I always fail to see in these arguments the explicit distinction between the two divisions of ICE - ERO (enforcement and removal operati

Question is can I access MY library and playlists synched to Apple Music with this? I don’t care about being able to access the Apple Music library.

Powerpoint is also my go to. It just feels more natural and I prefer editing locally, not in web browser.

Am I missing something here? Entirely possible and likely. When I go to pornhub I have to click a button that days I’m 18. Some other sites I’ve seen actually make me enter a birthdate. Slightly more annoying but I always make one up. Is th

I have not watched that video since 2013 (wow!) and it is still hilarious.

That’d be something for sure. Section 508 accessibility laws are built into most federal IT contracts. DHS has an entire trusted tester certification program around it. The changes required to existing federal contracts if they do this are

Absolutely agree and surprised it’s not getting mentioned in this thread with all the complaints about Lost. Most people don’t realize Lindelof did learn a lesson with Lost and corrected it with The Leftovers. One of the most under apprecia

I highly recommend trying to make some homemade ginger beer. It’s super easy, takes just a few days to ferment, lots of recipes online. Much better than the stuff in the store which is filled with added sugar or artificial sweeteners. Plus

I don’t live in California but was visiting Half Moon Bay over the summer, and was really excited to go by Mavericks, despite it being in the summer a tranquil location with none of these giant waves. We then walked the ocean cliff trail at

If I am the employee, I don’t want my employer to think I’m flirting with customers when it’s just small talk. And..uhh..if I’m married, etc. Anyways, we don’t know for sure either way

I agree. The media seemed to have jumped on the flirting angle because he was smiling. Isn’t that a little insulting to the hostel employee? I smiled at my barber today. Definitely wasn’t flirting.

Au contraire, I get Columbus day off work. None of my kids are off school :) I’ve been looking forward to this coming Monday for months. Those brief periods of solitude must be taken advantage of with kids.

It wraps all around trees and other desirable plants, and has shoots under ground that can extend many feet away. Digging it up is the only solution but even that is exceedingly difficult. I’ve learned to live with it.

Given we are talking about nuclear missiles, I’d like to think that while unmanned and housing decades-old tech, that the sites themselves have state of the art top secret levels of security. Then again I grew up in northern VA and we all u

Amen. Thank you. Not sure if the author intended to sound so crass, but I shared your immediate reaction to those two sentences.

22 years ago I permanently damaged my left ear at a beach concert on Tortola, British Virgin Islands. I was young, drinking in the sun, and standing far too close to a concert speaker stack that was turned up way too loud. The damage starte

If the correlation is proven true then that’s obviously terrible, but I’m in my mid 40s now, tattoo-less, and one of my biggest regrets is not getting a couple tattoos when I was younger. I feel like doing it now looks like a midlife crisis

On the flip side, when you get up and go off camera or turn camera off in a small video call (few participants), it feels awkward to get up and leave and I usually hold it and suffer through it. In person for some reason it felt less awkwar

I don’t know about it being performance enhancing. However, being high for strenuous workout or weightlifting is enjoyable. Yardwork as well. Zone out, put the headphones on and get some hard work done where you don’t have to think too hard

I’m a contractor for DHS and heard a rumor a long time ago that you could get special treatment with TSA agents when using your DHS badge as identification. Yeah no. Doesn’t work :) Southwest did give me a free drink one time though and tha
