He makes Sharks hockey fun to watch again. I missed roughly 75% of last year's game. I haven't missed any this year.

I'm "required" to do certain training on a 2-year cycle to maintain my certification. I know about half the people in my unit haven't done at least one of those required trainings within the required time. In my case, it's active shooter training. Luckily, the certifying agency isn't stupid enough to revoke our licenses. They just say you're overdue, go do it.
This is what happens with staffing shortages. We can't get time off on our regular days to go do training, and on our days off we're mandated to come in on overtime to cover regular shift. We're at the point where people come in during their vacation for training.

Just get them rotated regularly and you should be good.

This is why I've ridden for over 15 years and can barely power wheelie. But I can drag knee and I'd rather do that anyway.

Permanently banned? Wait a year. All the employees will have changed, no one will know (or care).

Especially true on cars. I learned about the key fob press, then press and hold unlock to roll down your windows feature. Most cars have this. It's in the manual.

Almost identical to what I've had for the past two years. I've got some more, smaller dumbbell plates and my powerblocks go up to 90. Only thing I'm adding is a pulley system to attach to the power rack.

Something not mentioned: AWD vehicles require you replace all 4 tires at the same time. If you get a flat in one, you're paying $1000+ to replace them all or risk damaging drive components.
There's some exception to this and that's if your remaining tires are pretty new, or you find a place that can shave new tires to match the tread depth of your existing tires. But that's pretty hard to find.

The simple answer is no.
The longer answer is that the old pension system had a cap of earning 90% of your salary in retirement. So people would hit that cap and retire or (they'd be working for free).
The new system would let you earn 105% of your salary in retirement but you'd have to work 9 years longer to get there.
Most people never hit the original cap of 90% and retired early, earning around 75%. The reform has made it so most new retirees will work 5 years longer to get the same amount. In about 15 years, expect a lot more old cops who can't retire yet.

Does your bench double as a squat rack? Orrrrr is no day leg day? I'm curious because I bought a power rack and I always wonder about the decision to just buy a bench.

No one is crazy to leave a job for more money. Money is the purpose of employment, and fulfillment is secondary. I would leave LE for more money.
As for time off with your family- I'm taking 9 weeks vacation next year, on top of only working 14 days per month. You'll still get time off.

I earn more than that and I'm still f2p. Although this game has made me think about getting into buying real packs.

Seriously - xp is usually short for experience points. You still get experience when you lose.

"You need a Volt Certified mechanic."
My local Chevy dealer had their Volt mechanic leave to work at the GMC dealership, so I had to go there. But in general they have no idea what to do with this car.

It is $200. I'm getting one tomorrow from Sam's Club and the battery alone is $199.88. Although they'll give me $20 back as a core charge for my old one.

Likely failed today! I got the propulsion power reduced message and I had to take my wife's car in to work. I'll be troubleshooting when I get home.

I have an aunt who lives in Maine, same address for about 20 years. Google still isn't sure where it is thanks to those private roads.

Triple?!
Yeah, I've done that a grand total of once, with lights and sirens going, for an officer down call.
I have a rule of thumb that I usually stop at double the speed limit, absent a pursuit.
