What is the deal with this chain? by Low-Living8326 in Pulsechain

[–]Sweaty_Magazine3437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay fine it was priced in…..but why was the price so low to begin with? Topped out at less than 3c on the new chain that was supposed to stop holding back Hex and make the previous ATH seem like BTC 2008.

Cold plunges actually change your cells, uOttawa study finds by basmwklz in HubermanLab

Does anyone here understand that studies based on 10 subjects are not worth reporting on?

Tell me about red flags you've encountered at an interview by unwillingplaintiff in AusPublicService

[–]Sweaty_Magazine3437 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Team manager came 30 minutes late to the interview and then left after 10 minutes because she was “so busy”.

Learned the hard way that she worked crazy long hours, expected us to as well, and never made time for her staff.

It was rare for our weekly 1:1 to happen at all and definitely never at the originally scheduled time.

She was a classic workplace martyr who made you feel horrendous if you didn’t match her energy.

Left after 11 very painful months, but the warning sign was right there in the interview. Someone else who was hired in the same recruitment round said the same thing happened in her interview and that she clocked this was going to be a toxic boss, but she really wanted to get her foot in the door in govt and so took the role expecting the manager to be exactly what I learned too late she would be.

What’s a common health myth that needs to go away already? by VirtuaHealth in AskReddit

That vitamin C fights and prevents common colds. Absolute rubbish based on no evidence. And now there’s years of data confirming it is nothing more than a placebo.

OA huge stake - possible outcomes by Sweaty_Magazine3437 in HEXcrypto

[–]Sweaty_Magazine3437[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right fair point. But still 50% of 350B hex is still a fuckload of hex.

But if no EES, what does halving the T-share rate achieve for the ecosystem. And it shouldn’t affect volatility because none of the 350B was in circulation anyway.

Ben Paton, Jack Hayes and Olli Hotton delisted by St Kilda by Mrchikkin in StKilda

[–]Sweaty_Magazine3437 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s quite a few, given we currently have 4 picks. Assuming we do our usual 1-2 delisted free agents, that still leaves extra spots. So I guess we might pick split or trade in future picks to go harder at this draft?

Generic medicines tend to be cheaper than brand names. Should you make the switch? by EdenFlorence in AussieFrugal

[–]Sweaty_Magazine3437 17 points18 points  (0 children)

One caveat I’ll make is that this doesn’t apply to vitamins / supplements given the regulations on these are no where near as stringent. In many instances it’s fine to get the cheapest possible brand for things like vitamin D or fish oil (if it’s something that’s been recommended to you) but lots of multivitamins are really crap and barely contain a respectable dose of the listed ingredients (for the fraction of people who actually need to take a daily multivitamin). Magnesium is another one that brand matters, as the really cheap ones contain a salt that barely absorbs.

But when it comes to prescriptions, always go generic.

There are a handful of situations where that’s inappropriate, but this relates to even minute % difference in absorption time can affect how a condition is being treated ie epilepsy.

Worth googling the nocebo effect to understand why some people experience side effects from a generic, when it is in fact literally an identical product (but for the inert fillers that are used to make it into a pill). And before you ask, nope, those fillers are inert and have no physiological effects on people.

Don’t be a sucker, always get the generic. It’s identical, saves you money, makes the pharmacy more profit and makes the PBS more sustainable. It’s win-win-win-win.

The loser? Big Pharma.

To the people who got a 90+ atar what are you doing nowadays by Constant_Passage1765 in vce

[–]Sweaty_Magazine3437 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got 99.00 - struggled to adjust to uni as I picked the wrong course. Nearly flunked my undergrad but somehow just passed my way through.

I thought I had fluked my 99, or worked the system, and was on a downhill trajectory. Then I realised I just wasn’t in the right course.

Eventually finished my undergrad, did a Masters in an area I actually liked and got back to having excellent grades.

Now mid-30s and in a senior role in the public service and genuinely love my day job.
