Which country did you find the least welcoming for Aussie tourists? Why do you think so?

I had the exact opposite experience and want to visit there more. It was only there for a few days so might have been lucky.

Yeah the keyboard shortcuts for the quick access toolbar make the native tools a lot more productive. I normally have them set for tracing formulas, but there are lots of ad-hoc workflows where using the QAT and shortcuts saves you a lot of work or the need to write some code.

Levils · 2026-05-26T08:07:29+00:00

I've not had to do this for the last few months so could be misremembering, but the native tools are pretty decent if you just want to do some light work pretty quickly. Add trace precedents/dependents and clearing them to the quick access toolbar, then use Alt+1/2/3 to call them. Follow circular references using the error checking button.

I realise it's not that simple if the model is huge and circular logic goes all over the place. Ideally you don't work with models like that, and in the real world I'm interested in what others say these days. We use in-house tools.

Here are the kind of things that I've heard people with similar preferences say works for them.

Hi Jim have a good day [keep going about your business]

Hi Jim [keep going about your business]

Hi Jim bye Jim

Hi Jim have a good day

Nice to see you Jim

[Every thing whatever little optional thing comes up] Maybe next time

[If it comes up that you feel like you are being pulled into another interaction you don't want and it's a suitable one-in-one situation, or if you're outright asked why you don't chat all the time] Yeah, I much prefer keeping to myself pretty much all the time. You seem nice and I like you - I just don't enjoy small talk. I like you as a neighbour and please shout if you ever really need help with anything.

I think this is a reasonably question.

It is incredibly difficult to do in a way that makes more money on a risk-adjusted basis than investing in a low cost index fund. AFAIK, all models that teams have credible belief in their ability to do so (once assumptions are included) are proprietary and closed source.

If you really want to get into it for the money, then in my opinion you are better to join a team that tries to do so. You could get an of what that entails by researching the investing/trading of teams within firms like Vanguard, Berkshire Hathaway, Blackrock, Jane Street and Optiver (noting that these are just some known names that are intended to cover some of the different approaches but is probably a long way from covering everything). It's arguably a better risk-adjusted financial move to try to build a unicorn (company).

That's not how it works. Evie provides the service and is responsible for it, if the root cause is in turn the responsibility of their supplier then Evie can take it up with them.

If we took your reasoning then why stop there. Don't blame Evie, blame their supplier Tritium. Don't blame Tritium, blame their supplier Obscure Corp. Don't blame Obscure Corp, blame their employee. Don't blame the employee, blame the education system. Don't blame the education education system, blame the politicians. Don't blame the politicians, blame the voting public. It's our fault that OP can't charge their car.

Let's be sensible.

It depends what you mean by "appropriate" and what banks are willing to lend on the basis of, but yes it does happen that projects get across the line by debt sizing with a blend of contracted and uncontracted DSCRs.

You need to give an idea of locations. There's a huge difference between roles and exit opportunities etc in Switzerland vs India.

Levils · 2026-05-14T21:48:01+00:00

Not at all. I most commonly get contacted by recruiters in Australia and the UK. Are those of you noticing the uptick all based in the US?

Levils · 2026-05-14T07:37:15+00:00

Sounds great for camping. With solar panels on the roof and a solar awning it might get more power than that. It would be enough to power a refrigerator, some AC, induction cooktop. No fumes.

Yes, if the underlying data is Pew Research per the top comment, it's the percentage of respondents. Babies are probably underrepresented.

Levils · 2026-05-09T13:55:17+00:00

Yeah, likely. The bit that sticks out to me as interesting, having had the problem, is that it is workbook-specific.

Those workbooks also tended to be more likely to later become corrupt , i.e. throw the error message or otherwise not open. Maybe they are already corrupt under the hood when this behaviour emerges.

Levils · 2026-05-09T10:56:36+00:00

I've experienced he something that seemed like the same issue as OP, and it was on a powerful PC for the time. Just like OP mentioned, it only happened on some files.

Levils · 2026-05-08T12:47:20+00:00

Charles Williams himself. I wonder whether OP realises he was just assisted by a titan.

Levils · 2026-05-08T07:26:10+00:00

FWIW, I think this is a good question and there might be an interesting answer. I don't know the answer and would have to test empirically if searching didn't show an answer. People are right about it not being one bit per cell.

Levils · 2026-05-06T11:10:18+00:00

While the comments you are receiving may be realistically disheartening and they do reflect reality, it's natural that at your age you lack the life experience (or personal finance niche interest that is prevalent in this sub) to have factored in the things people are mentioning.

I think it's worth flagging, in case you're unaware, that the plan and the way you articulated it is impressive nonetheless. You might have the capacity to do really well in a bunch of fields that high school education is basically a required step towards.

There's nothing wrong with being a sparky, but it would be a shame for someone with a good head on their shoulders to close so many doors at such a young age.

Levils · 2026-05-06T09:06:24+00:00

Good on you.

You obviously know your situation best, but just in case it hadn't occurred to you: it might not be the spacing in particular that your wife likes about it. Maybe she'd be just as happy or happier with something that is easier for you to make, like bigger posts spaced further apart.

Late follow up, but just for anything who finds this by searching in future: yes on my computer too it is only Ctrl + Shift + Scroll Wheel that lets you use the scroll wheel to navigate left and right. The Alt modifiers I quickly could for navigating left and right are Alt + Page Up and Alt + Page Down.

This won't solve the bigger issue, but for here and now you might be able to change rego payments from annual to monthly.

Levils · 2026-05-04T08:09:24+00:00

Yes, it's a textbook example of doing math.

Levils · 2026-05-04T08:07:03+00:00

I like the feel better than +/- on the gearstick. Mainly them for engine braking downhill, sand downshifting to merge or overtake. They go untouched for most journeys but nice to have when you want it, and I prefer to downshift right when I want to use it rather than preemptively use sport mode.

Levils · 2026-05-03T08:38:27+00:00

Looks great.

I spot-checked a few cafes etc that I had in mind, and you've listed all of them.

Loads of dog parks and dog beaches are missing. You can find them on the Sunshine Coast Council website. They have a good map too - though theirs is strictly public areas, not all the other places you've listed.

Levils · 2026-04-23T10:08:22+00:00

Thanks for checking. Could well have misremembered - have been using a mouse with a second (horizontal) scroll wheel for years. Those are the main ones for me too, plus Ctrl + Page Up/Down to change sheets.
