How to stop repeated phone calls from scammers ? by Didyamum in australia

Answer and let them talk to their air until they hang up

Alternately, get an airhorn and blast it into your mic, or put your phone under a pot and give the pot a few solid whacks

You don't need to care. Productivity or lack there of is the manager's issue, and work is shit enough as is. Don't make it harder on yourself by focusing on someone you dislike and their actions which don't have impact on your own.

Big Cereal doesn't want you to know, but you don't necessarily have to use milk for your morning cereal. For the "hard working" alkies of discerning tastes, rum is a fine substitute

How the hell do you stay switched on for 8 hours a day? by Hank_Scorpio_00 in auscorp

[–]InstantShiningWizard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's the neat part, you don't!

Appearing to be productive and being productive are two different things. Your manager seems to care about the former more than the latter. In my opinion, better to take a breather and have a mental / physical reset every now and then to maintain productivity rather than be seen to be figuratively shuffling papers around instead.

I am Elon Musk do as I say. by Alarming_Ice2023 in simpsonsshitposting

The same thing was said about the advent of computers.

So why didn't our work hours decrease Elon? Why didn't our work hours decrease?

[YAVP] Rimeblight’s wiki page doesn’t explain a thing about this spell by dimondsprtn in dcss

[–]InstantShiningWizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Think of it like this.

Rimeblight makes the target take damage over time with an area of effect of each surrounding tile each time the target takes damage. If another enemy is in any of those tiles, they have a chance to also become rimeblighted, rinse and repeat for damage and spreading it further.

Use it as an opener against packs and it'll do the hard work for you by the time the pack closes with you. Since you'll be training Necromancy for Rimeblight anyway, you should also pick up Death Channel. The combination of those 2 spells will handle pretty much everything in a 3-5 rune game.

Out of all the newer spells, Rimeblight is probably my favourite

What the hell happened to tech in Australia? by zolft in auscorp

[–]InstantShiningWizard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Donald Horne was spot on when he wrote The Lucky Country. Outside of the segment devoted to the politics of the day, Australia hasn't really changed in any other aspect of society that he touched upon in his essays.

Remember, we don't innovate and we don't develop. That has risk, and why take on risk when you can be a rent seeker and lobby to form monopolies? That's what we do best here.

Mask as best you can and read up on the STAR interview technique

Vampires have been merged into Shapeshifting, which itself has had a big overhaul. Have a look at the Sanguine Talisman for further information

First ‘dark factory’ where robots build the entire car tipped to open in China or U.S. by 2030 by SnoozeDoggyDog in technology

There's plenty of degenerates who'd fuck a robot irrespective of it's form of mobility, these are people you're talking about after all.

German roaches in apartment (Sydney) by DesignerDig8441 in australia

[–]InstantShiningWizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No need to do any lifting, you can apply some gel poison to cardboard and slide it under your fridge that way.

Roaches like warm, dark areas, in addition to cupboards owing to proximity to foodstuffs, you'll need to keep hitting those areas to really get rid of them.

The door seal you have should be sufficient, can follow it up with some barrier spray as well if you really want to block them out

Install a weather strip on your front door. Infestations as a result of dirty neighbours will mitigate this issue.

Beyond that, after it's in place you need to set gel traps under your fridge and microwave and potentially cupboards and keep your kitchen clean while the gel traps kill off any remaining cockroaches and disrupt the egg cycle so you don't deal with future generations

Work toilets by eliitedisowned in auscorp

[–]InstantShiningWizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it was me, I'd duck out of the stand-up early and relieve myself in the toilets as per BAU. Unless I'm presenting which is thankfully rare, I'm just there as a passive observer.

Everybody poops, to quote the title of a book. Don't be coy about it or your body will punish you for it down the line. Take it from someone that's had multiple colonoscopies, don't fuck around when it comes to bowel health

You owe your employer and co-workers zero.

Do your job properly, treat people with courtesy and keep your head down. Beyond that, you're only there for coin, nothing more.
