He was my favorite chess player to watch online. It’s been a few years since I watched a lot of chess, but he was the best. RIP

Glad to see the Uni-ball Vision Elite back on jetpens best list. Nice tactile feel, while still being smooth.
jakespencer · a year ago
Yes! I have tried the G2, Pilot Precise V5, Uni-ball Jetstream, Lamy Safari, Pilot Hi-Tec-C, Fisher Space Pen and others over the years and the Vision Elite is by far my favorite!

jakespencer · a year ago
Sorry to hear that. Usually you should get an initial response within a week or two. I’ll ask around to see if we’re backlogged due to the holidays.

It only complains once that the battery is low and never again, I've run into a dead battery when searching for an AirTag multiple times.
jakespencer · a year ago
This has not been my experience. I’ve had multiple AirTags notify me multiple times over a period of months that I needed to change the batteries.

what's the pay scale like for this? does it follow the GS schedule?
jakespencer · a year ago
Our entry-level hiring is done onto GS positions. Our experienced positions (requiring approximately three years of post-degree employment) are covered under the AcqDemo pay system (https://acqdemo.hci.mil). These experienced positions are generally a part of the NH-03 pay band, which correlates with the GS-12 and GS-13 grades of the General Schedule.
