Hot Pie is a survivor, he ain't going anywhere near Winterfell at this point. He might be reading the book, "Night King's Favorite Recipes" at the moment.

I do that, which stops the phone from dinging or vibrating, but is there a way to actually hide the red number notification that appears in the corner of the messaging app? Otherwise there will always be a red number there from this one particular group text, which could cover up an actual notification of a text I do want to read.
Pretty sure you can turn off the unread numbers altogether. turn off badges under notifications. But if you're asking for the numbers to not display one particular group chat, I'm not sure that's possible.

Bingo. I can image the negotiator called trump, Pompeo and Kelly and said that talks had stalled because NK wanted $1m cash. Trump knows that game. He countered with $2m due in 6 months. Knowing he would never honor that agreement. He never has.

I don’t buy that changing time causes people to die or that hundreds of millions of revenue is somehow lost with a time change. Someone economist discovers a small localized number and then applies it to the entire country.
does any large change have impacts? Yes. Some good, some bad. Most likely everything evens out.

Allow me to summarize your argument. Please correct me if I'm wrong:
Your issues with time change (for example, keeping kids on a regular schedule) are insignificant and unimportant.
My issues with time change (for example, grown, educated adults making it to meetings on time) really matter.
The issue with the meetings are real. Last week you had regularly scheduled meetings at 9am and 10am. Now you have 2 meetings at 9am.

Anyone should be able to adjust their internal clock to a time change within a day or two. This isn't jet lag flying to the other side of the world. We're talking about one hour. Most adults have their nightly schedule off by that much time every night anyway. For kids I can see it being a little bit more difficult but we shouldn't adjust the entire state's time because of kids. There's a cure for their problem: growing up.
I liked that we shortened the winter half of the time change by a few weeks in 2007. BUT it sucked that we moved on a different schedule than the rest of the Western world. I had regular meetings with people in the UK where some shifted an hour and others didn't because it was dependent on who scheduled the meeting. Meeting conflicts were created just because the US changed the time law. This will occur if Texas moves on it own.

A Melania body double probably presents a problem for the WH press corps. If they ask the WH and the WH says its for security purposes, there is most likely an ethical standard to not disclose security issues to the public. But if they think the WH is just saying security to avoid other questions, what does the WH press corps do?

csb alert:
in my former life, i worked at a job which overlapped with the occasional music tour. in 2002 or so, we were on the bulk of the "anger-management" tour, which featured eminem, ludacris, papa roach, and others i cannot remember. our focus was with the eminem people. as he got huge, they determined they needed a double, mostly for walking in and out of venues and hotels to distract fans. they were at taco bell one night, and found a guy who looked exactly like eminem, but was like at 90% his size. like a slightly miniaturized version. they hired him to go on tour and he had been with them ever since. they called him "partial mathers", and his stories were straight insanity.

Why not utilize technology to watch later shows the next day or whenever you want?
Why watch anything “live” other than sporting events?
I rarely watch live shows but when I do, I would rather not have to wait an hour later than normal.

I didn't see this highlighted part when I originally read the thread, but this cannot be stressed enough. Do not apply your experience to the PMP exam. You should know the inputs, tools, and outputs of every process group. On my test, I had a lot of questions where the "correct" answer was an output of a process group that was not available to select. You have to now that an output of one process is an input of a different process. Also, the questions tend to be tricky in that there will be an entire paragraph describing a scenario and then the question asks something that makes the paragraph completely irrelevant.
Great advice. I was using the wrong words but as Hate says there are ~47 processes, each with inputs and outputs, and "tools & techniques" that get from the input to the output. The outputs of one process become the inputs for another. https://projectmanagementacademy.net/articles/five-traditional-process-groups/
This is how one process looks:

Several people have asked about how easy or hard the test is for most people. You really need to memorize and understand the 47 processes, and recall how they relate to each other. 47 processes each with multiple inputs, tools and outputs. When you're deep in preparation for the test, you feel far away from running a real project. Instead you're caught up in the science of project management.
If you're not willing to get into that level of studying, I wouldn't waste your time starting. If I had to take the test again after having a PMP certificate for 10 years, I don't know if I would.

The hour one way or another doesn't matter to much to me.
I'm assuming that most people like the extended daylight later in the day, so we would want the summer or Daylight time. If we went that route, Texas (minus El Paso) would exist in the Central time zone in the summer months and the Eastern time zone in the winter months. Where that really sucks is that TV or major sporting events would remain on the national time. Sunday night football would then start at 8:20pm in November and December. Super Bowl starts at 6:20pm etc. Nationally televised UT basketball games would probably shift an hour later at night. All TV shows start an hour later from Nov-Mar. then in March, everything switches back to "normal" for us.
Personally I don't want what I consider 9pm TV shows to shift to 10pm like they do on the east coast.

No one believes that trump would have the courage to personally fire mueller. To my knowledge, he may have only fired Reince face to face. Everyone else is fired by someone else. Not sure about Kelly but doubt trump could have done that in person.
-
I’m too slow to figure out if this means that 6 months of year we would be the same as east coast or mountain time?
These are the type of ideas that shouldn’t be on a ballot. People will vote because they hate the one morning per year that they wake up one hour earlier than normal. The horror. The horror. And some may believe that this will keep the sun up until 8pm in winter.
as for changing clocks, I think I’m down to just my oven clock that isn’t automatic.

Texas will vote to get rid of it, but Texans will get confused and angry when they realize it’s only Texas moving. Show up an hour late to the Statler Bros. concert at the Winstar casino or Lake Charles. What do you mean it’s 10pm here, it’s 9pm at my house in Orange. Start the show over.

How do you document the PM work you've done to be accepted? I've done PM work for the past 15 years, in title and practice, and wouldn't have a clue what to show for that.
I've been thinking about taking it too, but I heard it's hard as hell. You make it sound like it's not. But maybe tests are your thing. They're not mine.
You just have to document and describe the work. You break down the hours by phase of project along with the approximate dates. It doesn’t have to be perfect. Except if you get randomly audited, then you need to find someone that will sign off on the work. Fyi, if you’re caught exaggerating your work history, they may ban you for life.
The test wasn’t easy. But there are test taking tricks to make it less difficult. I crammed for it over a weekend after taking a semester long grad course that taught the test
Getting the PMP certificate doesn’t make you a good PM. But it helps you demonstrate that you have some level of knowledge. I find that some people and companies require it and others could care less. In other words, it doesn’t hurt and can only help your career.

yeah, the PMBOK book is worthless in terms of passing the test. Everyone buys it but most take a class or read a study guide that tells you to ignore it.
My main advice is that she needs to apply and register before the training class. Then schedule the test to be as close to the end of the training (boot camp or longer sessions.) One problem with this is that she has to be able to document 30 or 35 hours of training in order to apply. The application was about as painful as studying for the test.
Lastly, don't try to apply real world logic. Memorize the the main phases and steps, and the handful of formulas, and anyone should pass.

It makes absolute sense that reps and other benefits are based on people and not citizens. Say that 500K non-citizens moved to Wyoming tomorrow because a few employers created a need for a tremendous number of employees. Wyoming would be overrun by doubling their population overnight. Why shouldn't they receive their fair share of fed govt services.
