What does Rating at Separation mean in the Military and how and where I can find that information?
I did 6 years ARMY National Guard with no Active deployments. I got out with Honorable and received my NGB Form 22, which is equivalent for DD214 for active. Now I am applying for a civilian job and one of the fields next to "Type of Discharge," (In which I answer Honorable) is "Rating at Separation."
What does this mean and where I can find this information?
3 AnswersMilitary2 years agoIn linux using TAR, why do you need C when Extracting, but you do not when compressing?
for example:
Compressing
tar -cvf $HOME/etc.backup.tar /tmp/data
There is no -C needed
Extracting
tar -xvf $HOME/etc.backup.tar -C /tmp/data/
Notice how you need the -C in between.
What is the logical process behind this? Also, why does the input location in the command line changes from right to left when compressing, meaning: tar -cvf $HOME/etc.backup.tar /tmp/data ........ the /tmp/data, the second location in the command line is the input and $HOME/etc.backup.tar , the first input is the output.... then when extracting it is vice versa?

1 AnswerProgramming & Design3 years agoWhat audio device I can use to connect multiple audio source to one speaker?
Is there an audio device switch that allows me having my game console and PC connect to ONE speaker. I do NOT want to have them overlap each other-play both audio from different sources at the same time.
What I want is some sort of switch saying if I switch to input A then the speaker will use the game console as audio source, if I turn the knob to input B then it will use PC. Is there some sort of device that allows me to do just that? NOT SIMULTANEOUSLY but a switch one at a time?
Thank you, english is not my first language

1 AnswerOther - Electronics4 years agoIs it possible for Adobe Reader Pro to count one page as two pages?
The book that is scanned has two pages per scan. So on the numbering in Adobe Reader pro is messed up.
Is there anyway so that the numbering will count on evens(2, 4, 6, 8, 10,...) instead of the traditional (1,2,3,..). That way Adobe reader will be consistent with the actual pages in the book
1 AnswerSoftware6 years agoAnyone tried the SeaWorld Military discount program yet?
SeaWorld is offering a free 1 day pass for an active duty, veterans, National Guard, Reservist... and can bring up to 3 dependents. I was wondering if I'd be able to bring my 3 little cousins which are NOT my dependents. Would they need some sort of ID to verify that they are my dependents in the booth or would be able to get in there once we purchase the tickets online. I don't really like doing this, but my Aunt which helped me in the past, is kind of persistent on trying this to save some money to bring her kids in there...I told her you can't do it because they aren't my dependents, but she still wanna try it anyways.

3 AnswersEngineering7 years agoFiles Downloaded couple minutes or so after installing chrome? Does this happen to you?
A couple minutes or so after installing Chrome, while browsing internet, I get a message in my Norton that libGLESv2.dll is safe. Then I check what files got downloaded automatically and they are
widevinecdm.dll
widevinecdmadadapter.dll
libGL.dll
libGLESv2.dll
*All of them are under Google Chrome folders...
Are these files 'impostors' or some sort of virus. Because they just downloaded automatically while surfing the internet couple of minutes after I installed Chrome.
I uninstall Chrome, Use the System restore all the way where chrome was never downloaded. Installed chrome again then couple of minutes of using chrome, they got downloaded automatically again. I was just wondering if this is normal when files getting download without user prompt in google chrome
1 AnswerGoogle7 years agoI Bought a stock using E-trade and now companywent bankrupt?
Okay, 2 years ago I was just experimenting on stocks and stuff so I decided to buy FUEL stock from SMF energy corporation using noob friendly website called E-trade. Now, I don't know a lot about stock trading, I'm merely experimenting my money.
I spent about 200 dollars which isn't really a big deal if I loose it. But this company went bankrupt. And now I'm receiving mails about courts, liquadation, and all these legal sentences that don't mean nothing to me. And also they will have a hearing on the other side of the country(Florida) in Dec 3 about liquidation. I'd rather not spend 500 dollars to go there.
What can I do in this situation?
I don't mind loosing that 200 dollars. Is it possible to just ignore these notices and maybe keep these stocks if they still exist? I don't know if that's how it works. Would I just loose these stocks?
Advice and answer to these questions would be highly appreciated.
6 AnswersInvesting7 years agoIf in-state police checkpoints continually asking you to show Id while you refuse, is that consider detaining?
In a checkpoint inside US, a police ask you to show ID then you refuse by saying "I do not need to answer question and I do not need to show my id," and yet the police continue to ask questions and trying to convince to pull over to conduct searches while I refuse for over 10-20 min until I was let go to the road without getting pulled over on the side. Would that consider be detaining?
And say you want to say "am I free to go?" and the police still insist on saying to show your ID and pull over for over 10-20min until finally let go without getting pulled over on the side, would that be also considered detaining?
Please provide evidence if so or if not. I just want to know if police have the right to do that. Just for curiosity purposes. Giving links that supports your evidence would be much appreciated.
And yeah, I always show my Id when asked. This is just for curiosity.

2 AnswersLaptops & Notebooks8 years agoDoes Halo 4 multiplayer uses handicap?
It seems like the better you are and the longer you play the game, the more aim assist radius you get. I been playing Halo 4 for a while now with 1.41 KD ratio. And everytime I do really go the next rounds will be fighting level 20's with crazy aiming with Humanoid reaction . It's like they been playing for a while.
I went to my cousin the other day. He suck at playing Halo 4. He's like level 58 but his KD is 0.21. I got a chance playing in his profile and men!!! The AIM ASSIST is Crazy. It literally feels like a magnet.
When I use my profile, I don't even notice my aim assist. I know it's there because it's on. I thought I just got use to it because I been playing for a while. But I never notice the aim assist.
But again, when I use my cousin's profile. It literally feels like a F U C K I N G magnet. The radius is crazy. And my opponents have sucky response time. Sometimes I fight against higher levels, but I never notice any player with Humanoid response time. It's like I'm fighting against humans.
Sure they may suck, but the MAGNETIC AIM ASSIST is highly visible. I only had 3 rounds and died only 1 - 3 times.
