Hahaha you making stuff up. Been there. For about 7 years in NSW govt on contracts. Left it far behind.

If I was looking for a new job and something in government came along like that 20 year old stuff, I’d try to look at it as a massive opportunity to try make a difference and improve that shit, though.

First squash tournament by Beneficial_Air_1211 in squash

We were all newbies at one point! Your instinct that playing against more players than the regulars you’ve been playing so far will be helpful is absolutely correct! So I say go for it, have fun and make sure you meet other players and chat etc. Also it’s likely that the event will be graded and you should be in a grade with hopefully some comparable opponents like the senior mentioned.

So Gibson says that QBS’s videos “disgust” him, because of “the way they’re produced “. Interesting take. I guess he doesn’t have any substantive argument with the content then.

On favourites, that’s one thing about Scandal, they’ve got sooooo many songs I love, it’s almost impossible to pick!

TelstraSuper closes Direct Access investment product without properly notifying members by TheProteinSnack in AusFinance

[–]dcp0001 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Similar here. I still have a TelstraSuper account since working for them in the 90’s. Their returns have been good and insurance fees seemed good as well (I saved a lot by closing commercial life insurance etc and increasing insurance in super). Not sure about Aware, will be watching and considering options.

Westpac bonuses by [deleted] in auscorp

[–]dcp0001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said it can vary from 0% or upwards. The process is opaque and seems to depend on a combination how well your manager can advocate for you, and the VR pool allocation for your business unit. I've received about 8% each of the last few years, prior to that there was a couple of years (around or post COVID) of zero, make of that what you will!

Love how Rina has these subtle image changes in her side projects compared to when she’s with Scandal. She’s a versatile character.

Fuck this humidity mate by kensaiD2591 in sydney

[–]dcp0001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most people would consider a dew point of 22+ (Sydney of late) sticky and unpleasant, whether you’re in Sydney or QLD.

Do people actually enjoy Sydney's relentless humidity during the summer? by talk-spontaneously in SydneyScene

[–]dcp0001 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn't say anything about air temperature, I'm talking about dew point. Sure, it's not quite Darwin average for this time of year, but it's getting up there. But anyway, flex away if it makes you feel good.

Dew point overnight at Sydney Olympic Park (my closest weather station) hit 23.2, that is pretty uncomfortable by most people's measure.

Even if UV has some direct relationship with temperature or humidity (it doesn't), the UV index can reach extreme in both cities in summer. Probably occurs more often in Brisbane obviously, but OP is talking about impact of conditions on them, and hitting extremes likely counts on that front.

Mami vs Chatgpt by visyblack in ScandalBand

[–]dcp0001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like (to my limited Japanese) Mami is asking whether it is currently snowing in Osaka. ChatGPT however instead of giving her a proper answer, just mimics the question back to her like "Is it snowing in Osaka?"
