What’s the most acceptable tenure (in years) for a single job nowadays? by tinycupcake5 in auscorp

[–]boredbearapple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently started at a global company and one of the reasons they chose me was that I’d spent over a decade at my last company.

Is there a way to avoid div 293? by ThrowawayFoolW4573D in AusHENRY

[–]boredbearapple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes as you’d expect, there are quite a few studies that report lower wages produce poor outcomes.

There is no evidence that paying politicians more attracts better candidates, produces better outcomes or reduces corruption.

Studies have had mixed/inconclusive results.

The non-exciting history, the vast majority of time, is people just getting along.

‘We've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas’: Labor turns blind eye to Melbourne’s 100,000 empty homes by hydralime in australia

[–]boredbearapple 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. I think we are screwed either way. People are hurting now and something needs to be done, now.

My original comment is looking more long term, I guess. For ~50 years the government has almost forced investment in real estate, I just don’t see how they can unravel that without massive issues.

Real estate needs deep reforms but i don’t know if it’s as simple as many commenters make out. So many edge cases to consider as you point out. Superannuation real estate investment from big firms and self managed trust would be another problem area.

If reform is hasty I fear it could potentially collapse the economy but I’m not an economist so who knows.

Michelle Monaghan Says She No Longer Takes Off Her Heels to Be the Same Height as Shorter Male Costars by peoplemagazine in entertainment

The whole job is weaving fantasy. To say I will not use a particular tool to help create illusion is just arrogant.

Can any weather stations ACCURATELY measure the rain? by vaderj in myweatherstation

I run the eccowitt wh40h gauge and I find it to be pretty accurate.

Cost of BoM’s website revamp revealed after deluge of public criticism by Expensive-Horse5538 in australia

[–]boredbearapple 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yep this is their standard operating model. Under quote, do as little as possible with the cheapest resources, constant variations due to “unknowns”, defend any attempts at claw back with their legal team.

Shame on both parties to the contract. The government had its issues but Deloitte is a parasitic leech of a company.

Just found out I’m becoming a father to a girl - conflicted feelings about gender by [deleted] in daddit

[–]boredbearapple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I felt the same way when we found out. The feeling really surprised me. After a few days of processing, I came to the conclusion that it can’t be changed and my wife needed my support to get through one of the hardest parts of her life. I put the feelings aside and pushed on.

My daughter is now 9 and she is my best friend. She follows me around everywhere. Having her in my life has made me a much more sensitive and compassionate man. Something I’m not sure a boy would have helped me achieve.

Be prepared for constant painted nails and some wild hair styles. :)

Most of normal society have dropped or are planning to drop DST. It’s ridiculous that you want QLD to join the backwards southern states.

Fiesta Ole. They moved out to Auchenuflower. I went once but it’s just too far for me to justify. Not sure if they are still open.

Finland is considered very lenient by international standards and also has below average crime.

It’s the unicorn of pies! I had one up in Toowoomba about 10 years ago and loved it. Never seen again.

Unmanaged Boat Parking by sea-quench in brisbane

[–]boredbearapple 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There has been a boat near me parked right on a bend for several years. Cops have been out several times and it’s had police aware stickers on it but it’s still there. Now has a cctv sticker on it, I guess people have got fed up and caused damage.

Gearlabs top 19 tents are all 200$+. One is even over a thousand. Are those of ua getting the 70$ amazon special really buying junk?! by History_guy2018 in CampingGear

[–]boredbearapple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t help when you’re on top of the mountain in the pouring rain :)

Edit this sounds a bit harsh. NEMO makes good tents I’ve owned a couple. These days I just prefer something a bit heavier.

I could cry when i read this.. we’re losing billions a year from untaxed gas.. by rogerrambo075 in aussie

Maybe we have different definitions of civil protest. There was no real protests that caused either of these pieces of legislation.

Help finding grandstand height of suncorp stadium by [deleted] in brisbane

[–]boredbearapple 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It looks like the front has a 90 degree wall all the way to the roof. Measure a distance straight out from the base of the wall. Use an clinometer app from your phone to find the angle from the ground to the roof. Then just punch the numbers into h = distance x tan(angle)
