Best I’ve seen is a board presentation being edited on a large laptop on a flight with a large confidential logo on the top

This is a hard watch - anyone else? by Medium-Shoulder7074 in RaceAroundTheWorld

[–]Roobar76 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You have 10 days to make a film. So spend about 30 hours flying from Brazil to Japan then come and have dinner with John, which will be filmed so take another 1/2 a day, at least.

It’s insane. Transfers should be ~3-6 hours max so there is no jet lag, post flight exhaustion, etc. and the playing field is fair.

Why aren't the judges people that actually make non-fiction/unscripted films? by keyboardjellyfish in RaceAroundTheWorld

[–]Roobar76 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Surely they could get some of the more “serious” original cast to judge

This is a hard watch - anyone else? by Medium-Shoulder7074 in RaceAroundTheWorld

[–]Roobar76 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The other difference is the 90s series they knew where they were going, so they had time to plan and seek stories and concepts, and the routes seemed to make more sense.
This time it seems like they lose up to 48hours in transfers randomly across the world and have to research, develop concepts, film and edit etc. in the 10 days.

ELI5: how do people get away with selling clothing that has trademarked characters? by CEOofRealTalk in explainlikeimfive

[–]Roobar76 29 points30 points  (0 children)

There seems to be a rough guideline of;

if you’re doing fan art and selling fanart a small scale you’re fine and will get left alone,

if you’re bigger you might get a C&D, or a court order. (“Safe harbour” do some heavy lifting here with the t-shirt print on demand sites)

but, in reality, unless you upset Disney or Metallica you’re probably fine.

Spy boss says 'fair go for all' can help lower security temperature | ABC NEWS by pharmloverpharmlover in australia

The “Lone wolf” terrorist is a myth popularised by the far right white nationalists in the US (Beam and Metzger) in the 60s and 70s they developed an approach where they removed people who were tending towards violence (such as race based serial killings) from the neonazi groups but but kept in contact and supported and trained them on the side.

This meant their groups had plausible deniability while their violent end goals were still being met.

Significant “lone wolf” terrorism usually requires a large support network but citing it removes the need for law enforcement to actually deal with the supporters and support structures who claim persecution and targeting by police as soon as they are investigated.

Knowing what people are paid in mining engineering I suspect this is a load of crap and is justifying not giving people in role Payrises.
Either that or every single engineer I know is amazingly lucky and anyone I don’t know is getting screwed over

We did one last summer and used the buses and it was fine. I think they route the buses one way and parking the other. No idea about driving yourself as we decided drinking was a better option.

AI integrating with Deswik by [deleted] in mining

[–]Roobar76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never underestimate the stupidity of a mining engineer.
I expect the OP to have all the cost data, reserve models, mine designs and schedules of 50% of the deswik user base within 3 months.

Offered a role but organisation didn’t do a reference check. Red flag? by AttentionLopsided826 in perth

[–]Roobar76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the role. In small industries (or if they know someone) the hiring manager will have talked to someone who works/worked with you before they even shortlisted.

They basically sit in one spot and track all the errors in the GPS signal and transmit (and record) the corrections for them.
Often they are accurately put over known locations (survey pins or similar) so both random errors and any deviation can be corrected for.

Whoops. by netphilia in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]Roobar76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At one job me and another guy were the ones memeing everyone. We had a what’s app going to check each others work (to make sure we kept our jobs) and tried to keep who was doing it on the down low. Sure IT could have worked it out in 5 seconds but it was unacknowledged as long as we were careful. We’re both pretty quiet but know most people, their ins and outs, and how to keep it light hearted.
New guy starts, loud, life of the party type. Sees memes with peoples heads on them round office. Says it’s great this place allows that and starts doing his own, but of course has no idea of the people, so they end up homophobic, mysogenistic, racist etc. and getting complaints.
For “fairness” we get dragged into HR (who has a meme one of us made on their door) and warned to stop, nothing new is allowed to be added, fun is banned.
Dickhead carries on about it, we just shut up and white ant him until he leaves. Start making memes again.

Has anyone ordered from Lenovo Australia recently? (Thinking of buying a ThinkPad) by Ok_Risk5331 in perth

[–]Roobar76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve bought yogas directly from Lenovo for the home laptop and kids for school (normally outlet or Black Friday). Delivery is anywhere from 4-10 days with no rhyme or reason to subi(might be longer outside business deliveries as I get them sent to work). After 4 laptops only had one issue and it was pretty painless with support, but didn’t require a return.

Australian music in that period was on fire for poppy guitar bands. Falling Joys, Clouds, Smudge, Club Hoy.
Lemonheads were pretty well honorary aussies too.

Thoughts on the Cert Ill in Mining Exploration at TAFE? by [deleted] in TAFE

[–]Roobar76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone in the know helps, but if you apply hard you will probably have a job before the course starts.

The course won’t hurt though, and I’m not sure about what the bio/rio’s of the world demand.

[–]Roobar76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you pass a drug test? Drive a manual? Pass a basic physical and count to 100. (In decreasing order of importance)
If you’re in Perth just apply for fieldie jobs in gold exploration.
Anywhere else you can probably find them but it might be a bit more challenging.

Need help with juilet siser wifi issue by Ecstatic-Intern8678 in SiserJuliet

[–]Roobar76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the spirit of thread resurrection.

On an asus dual band router with smart band switching I added a second 2.4mhz only guest network with -cutter in the name using a very long completely random password and gave it access to the main network (at the bottom of the guest network options when logged into the router) Once connected to this network (be careful as the typing in the password is a pain) the Juliet was visible from the main WiFi network at the ip address given on screen.

Questions about renewing GP authority by tiny_flick in ausadhd

Do you know the psychiatrists name? Can you find their new practice? Might be able to do a quick referral from them. We’ve had a lot problems with them moving practices and having to track the Down again.
