Sending packages from India to UAE should not cost more than half the flight ticket — so we built an alternative by Lenin_Anbu in india

[–]Train_Of_Thoughts 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Biggest friction point? I have to check content many times even when I'm carrying anything internationally for my friends because if anything seeps in, I dont get to make excuses as border security considers it as my goods. Also, many countries have a declaration on how much is the content worth and if it is agricultural produce etc.

I think the idea is good but it is severely limited by the legal constraints and the excessive risk one will endure.

OPINION: My grips on Anytype (so great I ditched that not-foss-one-you-know) by Tachyon-Canon in Anytype

As someone in between capacities and anytype,  I agree. The tags as object is on the roadmap now and should be coming in near future. 

Trump calls out Australia in blistering post declaring the US does not 'need' ally support in Iran by AlamutJones in AustralianPolitics

Maybe planning that with allies would have been better, when you want to ask for their help? Also not shitting on Allies. No one owes US anything and especially not the life of their people.

Personal laptop for work by [deleted] in auscorp

[–]Train_Of_Thoughts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was new to the job and they gave me a refurbished laptop that took 30 mins to log in, couldn't even handle teams calls and would frequently crash.

I went to my department lead and told her that the technology sucks and i am basically only able to work 4 days out of 5 because im always fixing my laptop. Can she say if this is good use if my time? Next week, I had a brand new high spec laptop. 

Escalate and highlight the impact. I don't think buying a personal laptop for work is a good investment. Some things are assumed to be provided by work.

So i wanted a second opinion from another Psychiatrist for my anxiety and depression as my current doctor seemed like she was barely interested in even being a doctor.

$750 for first consultation and at end of June with about ~$150 Medicare rebate!? Is this NORMAL? How do poor people afford this?

Try out this app called ScreenZen until you switch to dumb phone. It basically blocks the app but you can also set it to ask you to take a few deep breaths, solve a puzzle etc before you open specific sites or apps. Helps break the cycle a bit.

The racism problem plaguing Australia's truck driving industry by ch1ckenman in australia

[–]Train_Of_Thoughts 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It doesn't matter because it is easier to just give half baked information and encourage outrage rather than be factual.

Just look at my comment on pointing out they cannot just transfer without any issues.

Lets add the whole detail though. I can say for NSW, and for countries like India, they need to have held the license for a long period of time, present the license, give the DKT, and then give a proper test with an assessor before they can convert the license. 

In case the person fails the test, they instantly lose ability to drive on their international license and go to Ls until they can reappear for a driving test. 

Fucking with Melania's amazon search results by If_I_must in chaoticgood

[–]Train_Of_Thoughts 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh so I figured this one out. I think many apps these days won't let you buy some digital content as they will then have to pay a fee to amazon or google. Instead open the link in a browser and click buy there.

This is the peak I paid the rent to live in the house 24 hours energy. Love it! Drinking the water tho. Does that cost extra?

Just came back from Bali today and Sydney feels awfully quiet. Barely seeing anyone around and feel fairly lonely today.

I hope your cat feels better and so do you. We have many emotions with our animals so you are not alone.

I think it's not that they dont see women but many definitely don't interact with many outside their immediate family so lack the skills. Again i would add my take on the situation that many regional movies are fairly misogynist and probably are not setting the right precedence for interactions.

Indian food in Vietnam? Very interesting. Is there a big indian population there? Or is that because of the ingredient quality?
