So like what do you think the cut score will be? Like seriously?

High pressure sodium.   :BS:

Ohh, it was da bomb alright.

You nuke guys, lol.

High pressure sodium lighting.

Wow, I totally whiffed on that. I thought you meant sodium reactors. One of my favorite Rickover quotes is about sodium reactors -  something like "if the world's oceans were made of sodium, some idiot would try to make me a water cooled reactor"

Also, anything in the visual spectrum isn't real radiation. Nor is anything under 10 keV worth my trouble. And I still don't understand how beta particles can travel through copper wire. Electrical engineering is magic. #sarcasm

Lolol. 

We just need to take Rickover's body and wrap some copper wire and permanent magnets on him, then turn his grave into a perpetual motion machine. World energy crisis solved.

I’m looking at a job in the Bureau of Rec at the TSC. The special rate table says this is only for positions directly involved in power - do you know if this will apply to all engineers at the Bureau or not? If so, this definitely changes things. That’s a huge difference at GS-12.

My understanding is that all TSC engineers within the covered job series are being covered by this pay scale.

My understanding is that someone is at risk of dying from waiting for their results.

That's pretty amazing!

Oops, wrong thread.

I sadly know the answer to the question

Spoiler

17, not including the other 13 who have to figure out what to do with the old one for the next 10 million years

becuase I was one of them.

@Supe, is this true?

@Supe, is this true?

Can't say for sure, but when they figure out what to do with the old one, I'll be sure to let them know their design can't be constructed!

It went down to WIPP.

This is the new table for Phoenix and Vancouver, WA:

https://apps.opm.gov/SpecialRates/2018/Table075405272018.aspx

A little lower, but not by much. GS-12 starting at $97,520

Yes. The new Special Salary Rates are a very welcome change!  Literally like a $20,000/yr raise about to happen.

So how come when I posted about them in the Govt employee forum it was radio silence in there? :mellow:  I thought maybe there were no other feds. This thread seems like there are.... :wacko:

Because I forgot that password for that forum so I never check it.

Didn't know about that thread... only care about 2018 Spring PE results right now..
