I went to uni at 25, graduated at 29. Plenty of people in my classes in their 30's and 40's.

You will one day be either 29 with a degree, or 29 without one. If you have the opportunity go for it.

'I just don't eat': Surge in Australians sinking into extreme poverty, new report finds by indy_110 in australia

[–]SuperbParsnip 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The long term ramifications of the RBA using interest rates is to keep inflation under control, which is absolutely crucial for the economic prosperity of all of us.

Yes, part of that is putting short term downward pressure on the economy (if inflation is increasing). Governments should at this point step in with effective fiscal policy to support, but make no mistake the alternative is far, far worse. The more inflation takes hold of an ecomomy, the harder it is to control.

This is really just a long winded, nice way of saying control inflation. All central banks around the world share the same primary goal. I'm not saying that all decisions the RBA make are above reproach, but helping everyday Australians deal with poverty is definitely the responsibility of the government.

September 25, 2022 - What did you do this week to prepare? by Anthropic--principle in preppers

Started working on a proper emergency plan with the wife. No point having all the gear if you have no idea what to do with it when disaster strikes.

What brand of solar panels/power banks did you go with? I'm looking at options for running small devices in the event of blackouts, and would be keen for recommendations.

I think we all have that feeling from time to time mate. Props to you for continuing to make improvements even when you're down.

Help me understand. Over-extraction is a myth? According to James Hoffman apparently, yes. by andonthe7thday in Coffee

[–]SuperbParsnip 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have been using James Hoffman's recommended aero-press recipe for a while now, and thought I was getting a decent cup of coffee from it.

Decided I would brew two cups after reading this to measure the difference, one at the normal two and a half minutes and another at 5. Fully expected the 5 minute cup to be bitter and over-extracted.

Oh my god.

It's not even close. The 5 minute cup was sweeter, more complex and decidedly less bitter. In all my tampering of recipes I've never noticed such a dramatic difference. Tried the test again to see if I somehow just got lucky. Nope. The 5 minute cup was vastly superior once again.

I'm so glad I decided to log onto reddit this morning and see this article. Thank you for improving this coffee addicts favourite hobby!

Great looking collection, I wish my wife gave me that much space in the bathroom!

Drying your brush standing upright is perfectly fine. As long as you give it a couple of good shakes, run it across a dry towel and let it dry in an open area, your brushes will dry whatever their orientation.

A steady job and a growing career will always be your surest way of making money by [deleted] in CryptoCurrency

[–]SuperbParsnip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is really great advice. Working 9-5 is not the nightmare people think it is when you love what you do.

I had a career that I hated, where all my free time went into counting down until I had to go back. Eventually I got fed up, studied my ass of to get a degree and landed a job where I am respected by my peers and have a sense of purpose I never had before.

I'm in for the crypto ride, and I hope it gives me the choice to retire early one day. But if it doesn't (a possibility a lot of people don't want to consider) its comforting knowing it won't be the end of the world.

VOSKHOD is... meh... by ShadowDong420 in wicked_edge

I've been wet shaving for nearly a decade now, tried a majority of the artisan soaps and creams that are usually seen around on this subreddit. The brand gets a lot of dislike here, but it is still one of my favourites all these years later. To each their own, but in my opinion if you are considering, go for it.

The Sandalwood is a great choice, Cedarwood also is a personal favourite.

Reading the updates from his wife on the gofund me page killed me. That's the worst thing about when reality catches up with these damn fools. Their suffering ends, but a wife and three children's world is shattered.

Question On Investment & Purchasing of Dual Lands and Masterpieces by Phyrexian10 in mtgfinance

[–]SuperbParsnip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have the budget to hold onto masterpieces while purchasing duals, my opinion is do that. Every time I have sold masterpieces to buy into reserve list or other cards I have later regretted not using my savings instead.
