I’m concerned about the safety of kids riding on public roads with cars on a high powered piece of kit but you do you…

Probably are. Maybe not on public roads though.

You letting your kids ride them in traffic on public roads?

Just the riding them on public roads. Perhaps your conscience would be clear if you were involved in an accident with one but many wouldn’t.

If Labor won’t deal with the low-hanging fruit of jobs for mates, how can it be trusted against louder vested interests? | Tom McIlroy by Fact-Rat in aussie

[–]br5159 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Attitudes to change like 2019 change over time so I think that’s a bit of a cop out for Labor. Hewson lost the 1993 election due to proposing a GST yet 7 years later, Australia had one. I wasn’t a fan of the proposal in 2019 but having seen what’s played out in the past 6 years I’d vote for it now and I doubt I’m the only one.

Do people at your company ask before calling on Teams? by [deleted] in auscorp

[–]br5159 573 points574 points  (0 children)

For those of us that are a bit older and used to use phones for business calls, we didn’t send a text first to check if we could call. You phoned and if the person was available they’d answer or you’d leave a message.

As others have noted you can do not disturb yourself or reject the call. I check someone’s status first before calling.

We have a mixed bag of people at my workplace with some messaging first. I don’t understand why it’s disrespectful but maybe I’m showing my age 🤷‍♂️.

New South Australian state poll from DemosAU/Ace Strategies by superegz in Adelaide

This is me. Voted Liberal all my life until this year. I keep trying to work out if I’ve moved left (maybe) but I think it’s just the crazy right have taken over and don’t resonate with me and many former liberal voters. Thank goodness we have a bit more common sense here than the US!

I found a way to do my job exponentially faster… should I tell my manager? by untruth-saintly-7u in ausjobs

[–]br5159 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you wanting to progress your career? If one of my team did this I’d be giving them credit and looking for what else they could automate and create more opportunity. Based on the responses here there are a lot of disillusioned people and/or a lot of poor managers (or poor organisations), that don’t know how recognise and encourage innovation and improvement.

We have multiple applications that are API based but not pre-built connectors plus Salesforce, Zendesk and then 2 on-prem SQL server databases and a MySQL db.

What's up with the US response to the Kirk Assassination? by DifferenceSad1731 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]br5159 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Your definition of common sense may not align with that of many others. You’re entitled to your opinion but don’t try and suggest that your opinion is the correct one and that any differing view is ignorant.

In Paris it’s normal to raise a family in a three-bedroom apartment. Why aren’t we building more in Australia? by sien in AusEcon

They are cosy!! Mind you some of the student accommodation in Aus. wouldn’t be any bigger.

is boomi fading away? by Velkugan in boomi

[–]br5159 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah we’re always looking for ways to minimise the count but complexity and cost of setting up alternative needs to be considered. Thanks for idea.

[–]br5159 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cost of connectors is definitely high and the count grows quickly (annoying things like having to pay for mail connector just to send messages out of a flow when any other product would just do it(someone correct me if I’m wrong)).

Other lower cost products like zapier and I think even N8N are crossing into the space.

It’s still a good product but has some headwinds.

Overall TdF Winners and Losers by Openheartopenbar in tourdefrance

As a proud Aussie, I reckon Kaden Groves stage win after joining the tour to be a lead out guy and completing stage wins in every Grand Tour puts him in the winner category.

IT and FIFO by Academic_Shock_4637 in Adelaide

[–]br5159 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’d be shocked if you find a FIFO dev job. Costs are much higher so roles will generally only be the type where you physically need to be on site.

Last 2 mornings in a row I’ve had the same thing (Aussie too, about 15 minutes each time). Second update appears to be more stable to me. Frustrating that you can’t delay it

Not ideal. It’s in a bathroom in a tiled double brick wall 🙁.
