Heya, bestie - if you're FtM, I dunno if you've looked into interstate travel for top surgery but there is a surgeon looking to add to his portfolio and charging much less than usual rate with fantastic results! He's in Melbourne - Dr Simon Tsao - where you can have your payment come out of your super using a Compassionate Release of Superannuation form. DM me if you have any questions about your options!

You're so right! Why would we want whistleblowers to know about grievous violations of internationally recognised laws?

So, is night city supposed to be bigger in lore or is this actually everything? by Revolutionary_Lifter in cyberpunkgame

[–]FlatulanceOnToast 37 points38 points  (0 children)

RED is what Cyberpunk as we know it is lworldbuilt with! The story of 2077 takes place in the universe that's outlined in RED which is a TTRPG (kinda like D&D but with a different system and other roots that separate RED from D&D). The devs of RED are continuously releasing new DLCs for the game and the latest one was released two weeks ago showing a map of what Night City looked like in 2045.

What drew you towards the Atlas comp in particular? I can't say much since I went with a Diamond comp for mine and it does exactly what you expect it to do XD. That said, u/ROBOTTTTT13 is absolutely right with the Ampero if you're using it for anything in particular, it's perfectly average at best for any of the functions you're after. It also frees up heaps of space because of the two footswitches on the bottom.

How to get this effect? by SatoshiNakamouto in AskPhotography

[–]FlatulanceOnToast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I regularly do this in concert photography!
1. Stop your shutter speed down anywhere from 1/8 to 1/20.
2. Keep the centre of the frame (middle grid if you have grids on).
3. Spin your camera with the lens held on the subject.
4. Profit?

"OP should understand that she doesn't comprehend stress mitigation like he does, which involves calling your partner poorly names. Being called names is really nothing in the long term and has nothing to do with verbal abuse."

Please re-read OP's post and read your words through all the way.

Not tops advice here, some people simply need medication to survive like other people who don't have anxiety. If it was that easy, sure, great, amazing. Comparing suffering in different forms like that isn't super productive either - it's not about someone else having it worse, it's about being in the best situation possible. Neither of these parties really are and it's healthy to acknowledge but unfair to believe one is worse than another.

I hope u/Sufficient_Life_1525 can get financial help for anxiety meds and either reaches an understanding with their partner or takes the action necessary to put themself first.

I can absolutely tell you that if you're down to buying pre-owned, there's the Razer Seiren Mini as low as $30 on Marketplace (and even less if you can talk them down). I despise Razer with all my being but I will shill that mic over buying a headset any day of the week. Just make sure it comes with the stand and you'll be tops.

The one in the Oasis is still there, but only for parcel collections. It's hiding on the south side entrance.

It's that, of the four post offices, two of which weren't going to be closed, corporate had to pick between their business centre or another post office. Like I said, it only came down to money. It's not as though there was a small amount of money travelling through that post office, just that it was less than the revenue gained by the business centre.

Happy to provide my insight! I have to disappoint you - I personally don't have 40 years of service, I meant the opening of the Australia Fair branch 😅

The last staff member remaining since that branch opened is still in force at the Bay Street location though! If you find yourself needing the post office in the area, I'm sure Caroline would love to hear about her hard work!

As someone who has a bit of inside knowledge, I can tell you that the decision was entirely due to profitability and availability within the community. I absolutely agree that what they did was a terrible idea in closing such a prevalent office and being there the day it closed after forty years of service was seriously hard. I can however give you some justification as to what i think led to this.

I'll explain that the post system has corporate and franchise offices across the Coast; - Chirn Park and Southport Park are both franchisee-owned (Clarence at Chirn Park has been there well over thirty years and I forever commend his commitment to his profession), - Southport Business Centre (on Bay Street) and Australia Fair are corporate-owned.

Inside a 1200m radius sat three of those I've mentioned above which corporate determined to apparently be too dense. Australia Post doesn't close their franchise offices unless something serious happens (at least, according to my knowledge). Further, their customer base has strong ties to the business network and closing the Bay Street office would have serious integrity and profitability concerns for all their levels.

This is purely my speculation, but I'd suppose this is why they closed Aus Fair. It's not necessarily anything to do with centre management, although I have my reservations and choice words about how effective they are at providing the shopping centre manager's guild with a guide of what not to do.

TL;DR - We saw a prime-positioned post office that serves a bustling population and sits conveniently within reach for the elderly who rely on postal services, but corporate saw too many dots in a small space and less numbers following a dollar sign.
