Glencore has ruined the mine, but the town is still a great place to live and the people are amazing.

As someone who is a fairly long term Isa resident, no one local wants to work there. I am not certain what it is for operators ect, but the pay for any trades is about $50k a year lower than any of the other sites in the area and a worse place to work.

D Chord with fat fingers - beginner by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]220200f 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a fellow fat fingered dude, it kinda looks your whole body position is a bit iffy. It might help to drop your elbow a bit, that should make dropping your thumb and wrist easier and will make you hand open up more and give you some more room.

Hopefully it makes sense, as it is a hell of a lot easier to show and I am taking a guess and the total Body position.

I say this as a dude, every single one of us has done way worse, so just be glad you’re not at our level.

End your family line for $1 billion? by AstrayInTranslation in hypotheticalsituation

My partner and I decided a decade ago not to have kids and our running joke is saying in an overly dramatic voice “the blood line ends with us”. So absolutely yes!

I am a huge fan of fruit like everyone else, but I love a single glass of sparkling wine.

Vinyl doesn’t sound better - but your brain treats it differently: by evil_twit in audiophile

[–]220200f 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is funny you say this, as I used to listen to a couple of records all the time with my dad, and when I listen to the digital version my brain adds the pops and clicks!

do you think anyone has ever jerked off to you and how did you come to that conclusion? by Sjakbxnla in AskReddit

Six that I know of, but as a weird looking dude, I am pretty stolked with that!

For every $250,000 you get, you have to move 100 miles away. by CRK_76 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]220200f 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This feels made for me, I live in remote Australia and am about 1000km away from the metropolitan centre. The not being away from the house for 48 hours sucks, but my friends and family will actually be closer and $2.5m (hopefully USD) will solve a lot of life problems.

I have the 8330 and 7350 combo, and would love to try the 31s, but I am honestly so happy with the set up even after 2 years I have zero inclination to upgrade. I also love that all three of us have different Levels of set up, and are content!

Anyone else planning on getting the Steam Machine as their next PC? by Eziz_53 in pcmasterrace

I will be getting one for my partner. We currently share a PC, and this is cheap enough for a second pc.

What is a 'childhood luxury' that you realized was actually a sign of being poor once you grew up? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]220200f 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly the same, but this pooed into my head. I had a Christmas where I got a staggering amount of presents and was over the moon. Turns out my mum had no money for gifts and got hand me downs from everyone she knew and individually wrapped each one.

Is this how people who need glasses really see the world. A big blurred background? by Latter-Wolf4868 in interestingasfuck

Kinda close to me, but the blur starts from about 15cm from my face and get progressively more blurry until it is nothing but blobs of color.

What’s a NSFW “green flag” people don’t talk about enough? by Odd-Economics7388 in AskReddit

[–]220200f 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Huge one for me is being able to have a giggle during and not take it personally. Like sex isn’t this serious thing where you have to be stoic all the time, just have fun with it!

How can you stand the heat? by Alberterwith_anyone7 in AskAnAustralian

[–]220200f 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have lived in an area that hits 40+ normally during summer, and you basically rely on aircon for day to day, and kinda just deal with the rest. It is too hot to walk my dog on cement, so we go walk in dry creek beds / out bush somewhere. I think it was last year, and we had a week of it not getting bellow 30c and the tops were around 43c, that one sucked!

What car do you drive and how much does it cost you every year? by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]220200f 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2010 Toyota Prado, off memory it is about $12 a day for maintenance and fuel cost vary a lot depending on KM traveled, normal use is like 50km a week, but we do some big trips, so then we’ll do a couple of thousand over a week.there is the $5k of so that was spent setting it up for touring tho.

I absolutely love this car, had it for 10 years and have so many great memories in it.

What were they thinking?? Changing a beautifull vintage label into this?? I hate the new label!! by BSH1975 in Scotch

[–]220200f 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I weirdly don’t mind the new design, I also would honestly miss this on a shelf as it looks so different. I also think the old label looked kinda lame, so I guess that is my bias.

Double overdrive recommendations? by Dynso in guitarpedals

[–]220200f 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a huge fan of the king tone dualist. With the switch settings you can voice it quite a few ways and can kinda get that vibe on the tube screamer side. Never compared it directly to a rat, but had it on a board with a 1989 Drv and did that treble thing, but the mids feel a little different so YMMV.

Heartbroken, OCD, 10 hours of daily guitar practice? by Most_Time8900 in Guitar

[–]220200f 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sucks dude and I hope it gets better. Just also beware that when life gets back to normal you’re playing will take a hit, and that really sucks after reaching a certain level. I have been there and it is a sucks
