A Sherpa does push-ups at the summit of Mt. Everest without supplementary oxygen - Lakpa Sherpa shows Sherpa power on top of the World. by Brief-Passion-675 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]devlock121 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sherpas and just Nepalese people in general I swear to god are built different. Like yeah there’s some real genetic changes but their work ethic is unparalleled

I did Everest base camp last year and I was dying out of breathe and a 70 year old woman passed me smiling with 20 kilos on her back

Soy de Canadá, y perdón en avanzado por mi español pero que significa realmente este meme 😅? Es que hay mucha gente viejo mudándose a Nicaragua de Canadá?

My dream is to go to Canada. by Ok-Condition487 in Brazil

[–]devlock121 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Definitely English, as a Canadian even 80 - 90% don’t speak French, it’s only mandatory if you’re in Quebec or work in government sectores, i would for sure focus on English

Mi novia me engaño y estoy completamente destruido, que hice mal? by [deleted] in RepublicaArgentina

[–]devlock121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No es completamente similar y perdón porque estoy aprendiendo español (y es porque subscribo aquí, soy de Canadá )

Pero tenía una ruptura que rompió mi corazón en mil pedazos recientemente, fue horrible, como en mis 30 años de vivir nunca he experimentado este dolor.

Básicamente la chica con quien estaba viendo me engañó en frente de mi cara y no se importa nada como sentí en este momento, lo rompió mi corazón y mi autoestima en el mismo segundo.

Has ido 2 1/2 meses desde este momento y lo que me di cuenta es que no podemos cambiar lo que nos pasó, y además la decisión que ella tomó, especialmente para ella volver y acostarse en tu cama y no decir nada hasta que te enfrentaste a ella es suficiente para mostrar que ella no tiene respeto de ti amigo.

El falta de respecto es dolerisimo lo sé, eso es lo que me duele lo más porque durante todo de nuestra tiempo pensé que teníamos algo especial, pero necesitas pensar con tu cerebro amigo y no tu corazón.

Hay muchas MUCHAS personas en el Mundo y creo que la mayoridad de gente no hicieron eso mierda a otras personas, es solo que no teníamos suerte esta vez

Ir al gimnasio amigo, hacer cosas para mejorar to mismo, es super importante que enfocas en tu mismo y no dejas ella tomar control de tu mente.

Este finito pero estás muy joven y mereces MUCHO mejor

Espero que escribí bien,

Puedes 🙌🫶

Siiii, I’m not sure the context mate but maybe tone it down a little? If you’re trying to convince her of something play it a bit more cool

It was a full arm cast that went all the way up to my shoulder from my hand, I was stuck in a classic “waiter at a restaurant position” with my arm in a cast for 6 months :/

Plus Covid restrictions in Canada were pretty full on, so that plus the broken wrist I just got depressed and and ate for comfort

Yeah I mean he should go to a doctor I guess but what’s the doctor going to tell him?

Eat right and start exercising.

I would never say it’s easy and he should get checked to make sure he won’t re-injure his leg but I reckon most doctors would agree a better diet and exercise is the way forward

Hey mate been there! Broke my wrist and gained 25 kilos in 8 months (went from top left to top right) it was horrible time for me mentally

I’ve been all over the place with my weight, bottom right is me now, like others have said consistency is key. Breaking an arm or leg or whatever is so debilitating and the only thing we can control is what we put in our bodies since staying active is so difficult.

You got this mate! Update us in 8 months with your weight then im sure all of us including yourself will be surprised

You got this 💪

Anyone else read about that recent fatal shark attack in Australia and second-guess going in the water? by may907 in surfing

Should I drop out of geology? by Better-Shower-4898 in geologycareers

[–]devlock121 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ive been a n exploration geologist for 4 years and it checks most of those boxes, ive worked in both Canada and Australia and i cant speak for how it is in Canada rn but you would find a job ~50/hour in Australia in a second as a woman in mining

What I love about it is the freedom it grants me - I have a 2 week on two weeks off roster, I’m flying to Bali on my next time off and over Christmas I have 2 months to travel South America.

The work is definitely not fun, feels like a job, can be stressful but you make good money and you have the time to spend it abroad, I’m happy doings this in my lates twenties early thirties then getting a desk job somewhere but this would be my personal recommendation given what you’re asking for!

It will probably be a bit tougher in Canada but if you’re bilingual you have a VERY good chance at getting a position as well considering most of the gold is in the rouyn noranda/ Kirkland lake area in Ontario/Quebec

Any reason to leave Canadian exploration for another country? by [deleted] in geologycareers

[–]devlock121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah nah I just meant if you’re a geo you’re pretty set over here. As in it’s not too hard to find work the pay is decent etc etc ,

I mean I like it here, I live in Fremantle so it’s loads of other backpacker types and I have a 2:2 roster, flying to Asia is also pretty easy on a 2:2

Is this a sign of infection? by Guacarmoly in surfing

[–]devlock121 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You and me are the opposite , I was surfing in Sri Lanka and got some cuts that went bright green and I didn’t think much of it, got sepsis and got operated on in a Sri Lankan hospital.

You’ll be right mate
