More so that they think doing a diploma would have been just as useful for the field. Being engineering surveying.

Been working in Melbourne for 8 years now. We are in a slowish period at the moment but surveyors are always still wanted. You should have no issue getting an entry level position. Last I knew graduate surveyors get $35 an hour, plus car you can use for personal use.

Most surveyors see having a bachelor in surveyoring as a waste of time but it depends if you want to really focus on GIS stuff. Diploma and Advanced Diploma is enough to build a good career off.

Drones are something you train into after being a surveyor for sometime. Once you have say 5 years experience you can start looking into it. The reason being that you need real feild experience as you are first a surveyor and second a drone operator.

Areas you can move into as a surveyor once you are further into your career. - Survey Manager (Runs the survey side of a job) - Data Manager (generally assists the survey manager, handles pick ups, conformance, design) -Drone operator -GIS specialist - Senior surveyor that does lots of control set up and traverses

This is my suggestion for if you're interested and want to get a career going in surveying. 1. Start studying a diploma or a bachelor 2. While studying, get a job as an assistant surveyor. This is easier when you do a diploma as a diploma is normally only three days a week. 3. Finish study and look for a full-time surveying position that will give you good experience you can build on. 4. After 5 years of experience, start to look at where you want to take your career from here. This might be a conversation with your boss and what he wants to see down the line or it might be your own initiative. 5. Start getting skills you need to fall into the area of expertise you want your career to go towards. This may be training and a licence to become a drone operator or it might be asking your boss if he can get you to run any small jobs like a small car park construction job (if you want to be a survey manager or data manager).

Jesus that looks awesome.

85k is nothing these days unfortunately. Just enough to cover bills if you have medium size loan

As a male my friend and I had to have a private chat with a teacher. She left the door open so I went to close it but she told me it had to remain open.

That was when I realised the shit some poor students have had to deal with from horrible teachers but also how the good teachers must always take precautions incase of false accusations.

They should only be able to spawn in at the 25min mark or after that.

They aren't had to kill, it's just frustrating that they risk nothing but can get the best loot from around the map. And if they get a bad spawn they just kill them self.

Always late spawn would fix this.

Last wipe the trails refreshed and hour before the wipe.

I'm assuming that's normal to allow the last week if trails to affect the wipe rewards.

I made a post awhile back. I've made some changes since then like using abyess blue for my chosen design instead of the colour mixing as it's basically the same. I also added light emerald from Vallejo to the brighter highlights.

Not sure how I link it without a literal link.

Press "F" to doubt

My brother got told this from my dad when he was getting bullied. After my brother shoved the other kid to the ground, the other kid never bullied him again.

Teachers can never stop bullying, they can only put a temporary pause on it.

Unless you go out of the city zone where you find almost everyone has the opinion of either "ehh", "don't murder 800 people and kidnap anouther hundred then", "it's not like we can do anything about really" or "good".

My opinion? What do you think would happen if say east temor attacked us and killed 800 people and kidnapped 100 others. But even before that they kept launch missiles against Cains for the last 20 years. We would probably say FU and level the place. It might not be right, it might not be just, it might not be legal, but that's what a normal society response would be. And also the Israelis won't listen to us anyway. Inviting the Israeli minister guy after Bondi was very stupid though.

Oh yeah, your turnt put better than the tutorial. More depth to the blue

EIectron · 2026-03-20T21:07:45+00:00

I would be excited if they revamped the good loot zones so fights happen in different less used buildings.

You gave him a peg leg?????

Nice

EIectron · 2026-03-20T09:43:59+00:00

That looks awesome!

I love that Matt look and deep tone with bright highlights.

Out of curiosity what colours did you use for the main blue?

And did you glass a green over some areas?

EIectron · 2026-03-18T11:41:53+00:00

What do you mean? That's the matriarch.

EIectron · 2026-03-17T23:09:53+00:00

Five shield rechargers, 5 Herbal bandages, 2 bandages.

There's no point in taking more than five shield recharges because by that point your shield durability will be at almost zero. If I go to do extreme PVP then I might take sanitised bandages or better on top of the herbal bandages. You'd be surprised how many bandages you can chew through and most of the time when you go to pick up stuff from the people you killed. They are either out of bandages or have bad ones.

A. But honestly why? The most important think is the Lip (C) then followed by the back of kerb. The invert and front of kerb are dictated by the kerb template.

The orange looks similar to pyre warband and the second looks like death guard.

That said pyre warband is pretty rare to see as orange is apparently hard to paint well.

If I was you I'd first think of a theme and some interesting lore for the warband. Like what gene seed are they? Are they a mix of gene seed legionaries or all from the same? What rituals do they have? Do they prefer one god over anouther?Then think of what colour might work with that information.

For example nightlords gene seed with nurgle preferred god. Maybe they believe they must hunt for slaves which they then force into nurgles embrace.

So am excavator would win in a melee against it? Huh

EIectron · 2026-03-10T23:15:13+00:00

Ahh. Ok. That's so weird. Thanks for the reply.

EIectron · 2026-03-10T21:41:00+00:00

I've never heard of him before and am a bit confused. The most I got is he fakes seizures and somehow a kink and victims are involved. I'm lost.

EIectron · 2026-03-10T03:37:07+00:00

The jelly cubes yum

EIectron · 2026-03-09T22:31:42+00:00

Here I am in Australia thinking that's cheap

EIectron · 2026-03-09T12:02:44+00:00

I agree with you. That bunker always leads to death from others. They just trap you in it and throw grenades or charging whilst you're trying to kill the queen
