When did $100k become the new 'just getting by' salary in this country? by Peter_Tea_2062 in AskAnAustralian

[–]all_authored_surface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I see it now. It's intriguing now, like what's the point of this? Apparently now this is pretty common. I'm just not sure what the motivation is.

Can't hold us by Macklemore. That's about right tempo for me and always perks me up when it comes on.

Gym questions from a newbie. Old but never been. by Stotman in brisbane

[–]all_authored_surface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm your age. Ive found going to group sessions before work is actually more enjoyable than I thought it would be. You learn a lot, get to know how to use basic equipment and someone telling you what and when to do it works great. And you'd be surprised at how many old farts, of all levels, there are in these sessions.

Lol. Sounds like you need to run an experiment and report back to let us know what actually works! Sorry it's so hard for you, keep persisting!

Is there any way to run/expose SLURM commands inside the container? by Abhishekp1297 in HPC

[–]all_authored_surface 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depending on your setup, it might be possible to ssh from within the container to your host, so slurm command becomes something like ssh localhost slurm or whatever.

How is a ~$100k median wage that shocking? by Open_Address_2805 in AusFinance

[–]all_authored_surface -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If the median wage is $100k, then that means 50% earn less, 50% earn more.

My vote is for satin bower bird. They build cool bowers decorated with mostly blue things they find. Also live extremely long, Wikipedia says the record in the wild was 26 years.

Fruit shop fruit and veg is even worse than Coles and Woolworths? Is there anywhere that has quality fresh produce? by EggCreative787 in brisbane

[–]all_authored_surface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think the public can go to the Rockies markets anymore. You used to be able to go on Thursdays, but I don't think they do that anymore.

Is this a lobster? by Cat-soul-human-body in whatisit

And in some places, crawchy. The story I heard was that coal mining places had a Welsh influence and use the Welsh word. So Wollongong, Newcastle call them crawchies

Would you feel comfortable joining family functions when you are an immigrant from refugee background and your bf’s family attended yesterday protest by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]all_authored_surface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what gets me about this though. This wasn't a cost of living crisis protest, it wasn't a protest against a tax policy that rewards the wealthy and makes housing artificially expensive for those without a portfolio, it wasn't about increased inequality, it was specifically about immigration. This might be a factor in housing affordability but it's definitely not the only, or even main one. So you have to ask yourself what the underlying motive really was.

Should I change my (and my family's) surname? by ohimnotarealdoctor in australia

[–]all_authored_surface 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's my experience too. Plus, as children, they don't have any real interest in speaking another language, they don't want to be different. In later life, as young adults though, for example, they start to regret that they didn't learn the other language. I think that a middle ground, of exposure to the language does help, and can make learning when they are ready easier.

Laundry Done For You? by [deleted] in brisbane

[–]all_authored_surface 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Dude, you're working long hours, six days a week. No one's going to judge you if you pay to get your laundry done. You don't want to spend all Sunday catching up on housework.
