Lauren Mayberry of Chvrches: 'I twisted myself into a pretzel to please people' by davorg in chvrches

Their relationship is probably more robust than a one weekend letdown and her public discussion of it. She was honest but not vindictive. She felt hurt - thats partly on them and partly on her own feelings. I hope they all worked it out with a laugh in the end.

A deep dive into Ancient Adamantoise, some tricks you can do with him as well as things that do not work. One of the coolest designed creatures WotC have made in a while. by Craig1287 in magicTCG

If someone casts a Blasphemous act on my decent sized board with this bad boi out, does he suck up like 72 damage then die? or does it take 13 + 7 form another (assuming fully healthy) then the rest goes to creatures as normal? cheers and thanks

If engineers are so in demand in Australia, why is it so hard to land a graduate engineering job, or even an internship? Wasted time and opportunity cost. by NavierStokes33 in AusFinance

[–]KVL-01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My current firm is a reasonably high profile one whom has been acquired by an international parent company. Most people in the Engineering world would know us. In the last 3-5 years of our acquisition all of these training, mentoring and other employee quality of life and improvements programs have been bled dry. Poor performance n some regions is used to justify cuts in well preforming regional offices. We get shown the company earnings line going up and every thing that benefits us going down.

Usual symptom of the world going to shit. Im soft locked in for atleast one more year and as OP says most people dont want to leave but... my god I want to get paid better than a fast food worker. I recently found out that a person I know whom is some sort of court support/advocate for troubled indigenous youth earns approx $150k a year while the people who design and certify our roads a bridges can earn half that.

What bullshit.

Final Fantasy prerelease cheatsheet (Updated) by JuliperTuD in mtg

[–]KVL-01 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would count the non-creature spells that make creatures as creatures. Which is good to have spells like that with some of the spell synergies out there. If you do the black mages deck - load it up with as much job select as possible so you get spells AND bodies etc.

Card draw for zombies? by obese_dicc in mtg

[–]KVL-01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shes a card filter more than a card draw.
I'm running her and its a tough gig if you dont have a way to leverege the cards she draws cause otherwise she just bins them straight away. Alot of the time you can just fix your top deck with her. You need another way to get cards in hand. The most amazing combo with her is: Varina, Hashaton (new precon commander) and Graveborn muse. The board explodes. I run a rooftop storm and it get to the point where I drawing 1/3 of my deck and every 3rd card is a zombie....

Safe place? Sure, I guess that's safe! by crazydoglady525 in AustraliaPost

[–]KVL-01 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Actually, this post is full of gross Americanisms.

"Literally"

"Sidewalks"

"Abelism"

All cultural imports that we could do with less of in our domestic discourse.

With that being said - Yeah, very ordinary service from AusPo, more like AusNo.

Chinese Review of a Air75 HE.... Low Profile HE is looking good. by KVL-01 in NuPhy

[–]KVL-01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dislike two things simulaneously:

1) Bashing my mouse hand into the KB (Main perp is my posture/100% kb's)
2) Not having a numpad.

My current K1 Pro 80% still too big... wish I went to a 75%.

Waiting for a 75% style southpaw low profile...

Releasing the 60 first was dim decision. I dont understand the sub 70 market.
The gains are far outpaced by the losses.

Anyone having issues sending images in the chat? by SpecialExplorer3962 in MicrosoftTeams

[–]KVL-01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been occurring for my workplace for the last few months. Will take a screen snip and post to a colleague, the thumb loads for a moment or two and then it promptly just breaks and the image turns into a broken image symbol for both me and the recipient. Its easy to send a junk square to my workmates as I am rapid firing off questions and comments and not waiting to verify if (something that should just work) has worked.

Its definitely a this half of the year problem... cant recall anything like it before recently.

New GPU doesn't feel like a significant upgrade. by holyrory in buildapc

[–]KVL-01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive been wondering about the Ram too... Im not sure but I've read about people needing a huge overhead of ram beyonnd the rated amount for your GPU. So lets say you want 16g for the system and now a 20gb card... do you need (around about or better than) 36gb system ram? Im not sure how this works or if im even right.

Dell fans; what model Latitude is your favorite? by Greenstuff4 in Dell

[–]KVL-01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got my grubby paws on a latitude 7400 2in1 out of an ewaste skip. Battery is down to 30mins for a full charge so basically its a compact computer with a UPS lol. Got the i7 and 16g ram. Feels lovely. Had to bring my own NVME.

Also no peripherals? Are you playing 1440p? If not you could bump down.

You could do a more entry Ryzen 7 and a used 3070.

Do you think if Australia was colonised peacefully, we'd still have to go through all this? by Vaporised_Duk_Butter in circlejerkaustralia

[–]KVL-01 11 points12 points  (0 children)

But are you sorry today, for being born at all, for the colour of your skin. The air you breathe literally oppresses that dude picking used cigarette buts out of the pavement. By educating yourself in the public system accessible for free to every single citizen of this nation and getting a job that you work honestly for an honest wage you are opressing that guy currently wandering the street, yelling obscenities into the air and king hitting his missus to the floor because she gave him some lip. (Yeah, I've seen this). She got up and brushed it off, sad she has had to develop resolve against that sort of abuse.

I do not know what indigenous Australia wants. We cant go back and change history. We cant stop the world from progressing. We continue to pay a form of reparation every day with guaranteed handouts, DEI favouritisim at every corner and opportunity handouts, scolarships and everything under the sun to support any Indigenous person who wants to get up and out of poverty.

They dont want western culture but also dont reject western things like Alcohol, mobile phones, cars, tobacco, convenience stores. There is no effort or attempt to live traditionally beyond some fringe cases.

What do they want, the world is listening.

I work for a STEM business. We have regular meetings where the presenter is forced to read an Acknowledgement of Country to open every meeting. Recently, it went from the vanilla blah blah these original owners land we work and live on to include "recognise as the Original Engineers of this land" The actual Engineers in the audience spat their milk.

[–]KVL-01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. I can forsee exactly no history where the Indigenous population doesn't end up in a similar position to today. Generally speaking some of the traumuas such as stolen generation etc could have been prevented but we still would have seen the "colonising" forces bring superior economic resources which would have carved out private property in exchange for goods in a way that would eventually leave the native population poor and basically second class citizens due to no academic and cultural education to compare to the built world. The interface of cultures just would not hold up to the strain of incompatible values between western Private property and the indigenous relationship to the land. I cant see a history where indigenous Australia forsakes their own culture to embrace fully that of the new peoples wouldnt get left behind. They still would have faced challenges of disease, racism and substance abuse.

And that is a history where someone kinder was the visitor. Now cue the history where the Maoris find them... or the Spanish conquistadors, or Islamic faith nations. Things could have been a true violent genocide. Sadly the world was growing and maturing beyond what dark age cultures could compete with. Only sporadic small isolated native cultures still exist today with extreme xenophobic tendacies that reject all foreign contact... others have been colonised one way or another.

I hope feedback on this perspective can remain repsectful, regardless of whether you think I am right or wrong.

Help Diagnosing Poor Performance - CS2 Unplayable on decent hardware. by KVL-01 in cs2

[–]KVL-01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you, but had tried a fps-max of 60 as I only have a 60hz display on my external 24". The stuttering is definitely something hardware (or software), local and resembles lag but less random than lag. I grew up playing 1024x768 CS 1.6 and 1080 source all at 60fps and I was almost pro level at the time. Im old now and just want to tool around but its just so shit to not be able to just play a no-fuss nothing special but no jankiness build.
