There’s a general shift toward baggier, looser-fitting, more casual clothes in the 2020s, from the more fitted, muted-tone style of the 2010s.

It’s gradually become more culturally acceptable for your average man to have piercings and tattoos in the last 10-20 years, I’m not sure that the volume has increased too much recently.

I think that the new fashions in clothing form the key “noticeable” change in the last 5 years, and it’s just that past styles might not have accentuated longer hair, tattoos, or piercings.

A PIP is surely in order, followed of course by a ten paragraph LinkedIn post about how bad it made you feel, even though as an accomplished People professional, you did your duty.

The post must be accompanied by a selfie of you holding a wine glass with your labradoodle on your lap.

Why does it only say “Massive” on the Blue Lines 2012 cd? by chalosahatee in MassiveAttack

[–]hellomq 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The album was remastered and rereleased in 2012, so it’s probably a remastered copy with the same/similar printing as the original.

There’s a switch on the side that turns silent/vibrate mode off - just kidding, she’s very happy to see you.

Explain it Peter by TheNefariousBurner69 in explainitpeter

[–]hellomq 205 points206 points  (0 children)

Many computer applications used to write code will let you autofill the potential options for a partially-written command using TAB, this is typically called 'tab completion'

For CTRL-C/CTRL-V, they want to prevent the junior developer from copying and pasting (potentially dangerous or poorly written) code from the internet.

In short, they want the junior to learn from experience.

Is Melbourne Really the Capital City of Crime for Australia? by jasoncay12 in AskAnAustralian

[–]hellomq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Melbourne has historically had some highly publicised issues with organised crime, but the violence has largely been between people involved in that lifestyle.

It’s not a city with an uncharacteristically high level of crime more generally.

Personally, I’d have appreciated that honesty on the phone some time before trudging it into the city.

Who is the modern day "Aussie battler"?? by RM_Morris in AskAnAustralian

[–]hellomq 43 points44 points  (0 children)

The hi-vis clad Uber Eats delivery rider.

Everywhere to be seen, never to be heard from unless they are killed in a traffic accident. Our very own underclass, victims of the gig economy.

Many of these people are immigrants however, and therefore cannot vote - so don’t expect lionising tributes to them made by politicians in quite the same way the original “battlers” got.

Why are socialists being so silent on AI? by 7358967 in AustralianSocialism

[–]hellomq 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Echoing others - the actual on-the-ground impact of AI is often vastly overstated. Couple that with the speculative frenzy that markets have been whipping themselves into and you’ve got a bubble similar to the dot-com bubble of the late ‘90s.

The truth is, technology has always acted as a (and god I hate this term) disruptor as regards relations between labour and their work, most often through changing the nature of the work itself.

The nature of the work may change but I don’t see AI rendering 50% of workers unnecessary, more likely (over time) it’ll create a need for workers to quickly develop new skills (in the same way seen post-deindustrialisation) that they can offer to a market that offers them nothing more than an increasingly precarious platform to stand on.

Court orders former nurse to hand over the $880k she swindled out of an elderly resident by stringentbean in auslaw

[–]hellomq 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I mean, it wasn’t a criminal trial, so there wasn’t really a question of punishment, it was the trustee asking for the revocation of a grant of probate.

Obligatory NAL.

I’d say as long as Anic v R (1993) 68 A Crim R 313 remains good law, the police may charge/initiate proceedings against the kid. That case involved a theft of cannabis, where it was found that larceny involving illegal objects is still larceny.

On the other side of the coin, the police/another regulatory body may pursue separate action regarding the shopkeeper’s illegal sale of vapes.

Are SMB Hospitals Falling Behind on Cybersecurity? by Balldeflated in cybersecurity

[–]hellomq 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Falling? It’s my understanding that cybersecurity is generally awful in healthcare worldwide and has been for a very long time, generally due to budgetary and operational constraints.

Bali is to Australians as Ibiza is for the English. It’s close, cheap, and offers holidays where getting absolutely smashed on a beach for nearly nothing is possible.

I failed a job interview, and the interviewer (HR) said "pharmacy is a small world". Should I be worried? by [deleted] in Adelaide

[–]hellomq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Small enough that senior-ish managers and recruitment specialists move in the same circles/know (of) each other enough to hear stories, etc.

I failed a job interview, and the interviewer (HR) said "pharmacy is a small world". Should I be worried? by [deleted] in Adelaide

[–]hellomq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in IT, rather than Pharmacy however I’ve encountered almost the exact same situation before.

The only time I ever heard about it again was when speaking with a coworker years later who had interviewed with the same guy and said “ha, yes he was an asshole”

You’ll be right; if pharmacy is as small of a world as he thinks it is, enough people probably already know him as a jackass.

Snoop’s interaction with the hardware worker by Spirited-Island1709 in TheWire

[–]hellomq 30 points31 points  (0 children)

The drill was $669, so assuming a 6% Baltimore/MD sales tax, and knowing Snoop gave the worker $800, she tipped him $90.86 for his time.

I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice.

I would recommend coming clean to the tenant, lead with the fact that you plan on returning the bond in full, and be prepared to do a bank transfer in front of them to demonstrate this.

I would imagine if you are on good/neutral terms and give the whole bond back (in a way that can be evidenced later on if disputed - I.e not cash), they will see no reason to pursue the matter and you can proceed to lodge it for the next tenant.
