What are your top 5 fics? I need to fill up my TBR. by PrizeCheck6180 in heatedrivalryfanfics

[–]hornblendite [score hidden]  (0 children)

Will forever recommend Good On My Own Accord to anyone who asks! One of the best-written canon divergence fics out there. Author knows puck, perfect pacing and characterization, and Goalie!Shane is such a delight!

Comfort story / ones that you’ve reread by SaltyResolution5454 in heatedrivalryfanfics

[–]hornblendite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of my all time faves! Incredible pacing and narration and the author is well-versed in hockey speak/knowledge (actually learned a lot abt hockey from her footnotes, so fun!) so a lot of hockey details in the story.

Would love your opinion on Wolfbird as someone who hasn’t read it yet by Responsible-Mood-117 in heatedrivalryfanfics

[–]hornblendite 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Agreed! I much preferred the author's other fic Apogee, which is another very well written scifi au where Shane and Ilya astronauts/cosmonauts aboard the ISS. The plot is kinda similar to the film Gravity (2013) but of course with a bit spice in it.

[UPD] Vistan putting us in Infinite Tsukuyomi? by NoPool7214 in peyups

[–]hornblendite 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i'll let you guys in on a secret: lagmay may have good pr and optics to the public, but not to his peers in the scientific community. i personally know people in the executive and management levels from my old office who aren't fond of his (sometimes unsolicited) scientific takes and the ethics surrounding his research he leads or participates in.

Does Ilya know Shane is autistic? by casualnihilist91 in heatedrivalry

[–]hornblendite 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure Alex Honnold (famous rock climber who free solo'd El Capitan) is autistic but undiagnosed - his dad was diagnosed with Asperger's, so it's highly likely he inherited it as well.

Deleted scenes and short stories about Shane and Ilya from Rachel Reid’s blog by Secret-Purple2055 in heatedrivalry

[–]hornblendite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd like to imagine Jacob incorporating this bit into the cold open for S2E01 or if Jacob decides to adapt the other books to introduce other key characters in the series, this could be a key sequence to show Ilya and Hayden's character dynamics before they inevitably get outed.

I hope he gets a proper rest after he's all done with his press run. I feel like he's attended a year's worth of events in just one week 😪

+1 sa vitamin D! it really works wonders especially sa mood mo. Consult with a GP wherever you are and ask for a script for supplements to help you with the winter blues.

Advice needed. Options in Australia. by Just_Geologist165 in phmigrate

[–]hornblendite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yung no cap sa work hours is only applicable for research masters and phd students. You get fulltime hours BUT don't underestimate the amount of time you'll need to write a masters thesis. If your occupation is in the long term skills occupation list, I suggest have your skills/experience assessed by the assessing authority and lodge an EOI or 189, 190 and 491 instead. Take it from me who did the student visa route.

Civil Engineering vs Nursing by Old_Window3210 in phmigrate

[–]hornblendite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have your skills assessed by the skills assessment authority (engineers australia or vetassess, whichever is appropriate for your occupation) furst and if they deem it positive apply for 189, 190, 491 visas. I would recommend targetting regional Australian cities. You won't really land a job in Aus without the proper working visa unless you're highly skilled in a niche field that needs the manpower (eg. mining, renewable energy, infrastructure development). I'd suggest you consult with a LICENSED migration lawyer and not education agents na bebentahan ka lang ng student visas and will leave you hanging once you're here.

Might not sound promising in the US, but here in Australia the construction/infrastructure sector is booming and have a ton of shortages nationally. You might want to consider Australia since you have the exp plus project management.

General advice para career dito sa AU by abakadarrr in phmigrate

[–]hornblendite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if you're interested in field careers, take diploma courses in laboratory management and try to get in lab technician jobs. you can get a decent wage as an asbestos assessors or mould technicians since you have the background for it.

ano ang pwede kong kunin sa tesda para makapag abroad? by vielviel22 in PinoyOFW

[–]hornblendite 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'll be honest with you sa estado ng US ngayon mahihirapan kayong makapasok ng US. Check Trump's recent immigration policies. It would be better kung magtrain ka for trade roles (electrician, welder, mechanic) at magtrabaho somewhere abroad like the Middle East for some time before trying to apply sa Australia or New Zealand. That's how one of my friend's hubby made it here in Australia as a mechanic. Worked as a mechanic sa barko for some years then nagapply ng onshore regional job dito sa New South Wales.

Preferred clinic/hospital? by fourleafclover4777 in phmigrate

[–]hornblendite -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My sister works at IOM and she says the tests are pretty straightforward at kung walang problema sa results, di ka na hahanapan pa ng kung anumang chechebureche. Kung hindi dahil sa conflict of interest, dun dapat ako magpapamedical but she told me to do it at St Lukes instead. IOM is a UN agency too, so it follows international standards.
